My own skin and Mineral Makeup

I have a bunch of thoughts floating around my head as usual (who doesn’t? ) and I thought I’d comebine them into this entry.

I was just reflecting that this blog in a way is a sign that I’m comfortable being in my own skin without having to worry about what anyone thinks. I think when I was younger, it was different.  Sometimes I would be afraid to say something around somebody for fear of getting into a useless argument or discussion.  Sometimes that could be called wisdom and other times not.  Because there are times when you just need to speak up in a nice way and ignoring something and moving on is not always the best option. 

Other things are different too.  My friends are not people I choose to be around and those who just happen to be around me as well.  My friends are those people who I’ve chosen to be friends with because of the benefit they bring into my life.  They are few.  But that’s really what I have time for.  I find that especially with being a mom, you simply don’t have the kind of time you did before kids to put into relationships. 

On a completely different note, I find that subhanallah when you make the time to do something for Allah, especially something as simple as reading Quran every morning, Allah gives you this firmness in your heart and everything else has ease in it.  Somehow you are able to handle it.  And subhanallah when your emaan is down, everything is overwhelming.  Kids, chore, this that .. everything starts coming at you from every direction and your’e thinking to yourself..”I only got two hands here”. 

On that note..here is a beneficial link to a prayer manual for mom’s. I haven’t gone through the whole thing yet, but what little I have read so far, I found to be simple, easy to digest and apply. 

And here and here is some cool make up stuff if you are into makeup.  If I try it myself, I’ll be sure to come on here and post a review.
