What I Am Doing This Lent! (Religious Sundays #3)

          Happy Sunday! It is the 2nd Sunday in Lent, and this week I thought I would talk about what I am doing to be more sacrificial and better for Jesus. This is my first Lent since I feel like I have truly become a devout Catholic Christian, and I was/am very excited for Lent so I can become better in the eyes of God. So I am pumped to tell you guys what I am doing for Lent.
           For the record, Lent is not a season where you are showing others what you are doing for God, but rather you are just being sacrificial for God to respect Him. I am aware of this,but I am writing this post to hopefully inspire some people to give up something for Lent. I know it has already started, but better late than never.
            So the thing that I gave up this Lent is really basic of me, but I normally have cookies after lunch, so I gave up treats after lunch. This hasn't been too difficult, so in addition I try to limit the junk I have after dinner as well. This has been something that I have to think about, and then I think about why I am doing it when it comes to be lunch time, and I have no regrets whatsoever.
            Lent is not just about giving up things, but also about just becoming better in the eyes of God. Therefore, I decided that I would be reading 10 chapters of the Bible everyday so I can understand the word of God better. I love this because this helps me understand all of the miracles that He accomplished, and I always feel much more appreciative after reading it. I am almost done with the New Testament, and am a little more than halfway done with the Old Testament, so I cannot wait to finish reading them and then start diving more deeply into the books.

I completely recommend giving up something for Lent, even if it is something small. Also I recommend learning more about Jesus and his Passion as well. If you ever want to talk about religion, or anything just leave me a comment with your email!

Love,
Elizabeth

Favorite Summer To Fall Transition Piece

So unfortunately it is officially Fall! Summer is over yet I am still transitioning clothing wise! So todays post will be about my favorite transition piece from Summer to Fall! The favorite thing of mine for the Summer to Fall season is the vans style shoe pictured above! I absolutely love vans style shoes just because they can be dressed up and down and they also come in many different colors and patterns! I may or may not own 4 pairs of vans style shoes! However my current favorite are these white lace patternes shoes! The detailing on this pair of shoes is absolutely amazing! They have such a nice look to them that is so much better than just plain white! Not to mention they are easy to clean! Trust me I cannot be trusted with anything white! These are perfect because theydo have a summery feel since they are lighter toned, however they also can be worn with leggings and pants to get more cozy! My absolute favorite part of these shoes though is probably the fact that you can litter...

Dual Action Moisturizer (Which is better? On Brand Or OffBrand? #2)(Blogmas 2016 #4)

      A post that I am very proud of, and that many of you wonderful readers really seemed to enjoy, was my Which Is Better? On Brand, or Off Brand Beauty Blender Edition . I decided to make it a little series because I realize that I love a good dupe, and I want you to join in my journey to great dupes! So welcome to another On-Brand or Off-Brand post!        I think every person can agree that moisturizer is something that is a necessity in a skincare routine, especially in this upcoming winter season! I know in the winter I get very dry skin, and I know that moisturizer can get quite expensive, so I thought I would try out a store brand moisturizer, and compare it to a Clean and Clear moisturizer that I already knew I loved.      These are the two moisturizers that I will be comparing in this post! The clean and clear advantage dual action moisturizer (I know this one is slightly different but I have used both!), and the Walmart...

What I Have Been Up To In The Past Few Months!

           Hello all! So I have been somewhat distant on this blog for the past few months! I have done a lot of religious posts that I absolutely love writing, but I realized that I have been a little distant when it came to talking about other stuff, and what I have been up to! So now I am just going to simply just talk a little bit about what I have been up to for the past few months!           So if you did not read my  2017 New Years Resolution Post  then you will not be aware that I am working hard at learning italian. I love learning new languages, and I have a goal of being trilingual by the time I am 25, and I want to do this with english, spanish, and italian. I take spanish at my school, so I am learning italian at home and I love it so much! It is really difficult to learn a language by yourself though when you do not have the cultural immersion, especially where I am in a primarily english speaking country, ...
