Good Afternoon, Wonderful People
Today, we are celebrating the Memorial Day holiday. Some see it as the first unofficial day of the summer season and a reason for a vacation with the family. Others see it as a reason to fire up the grill and feast on some BBQ with some friends. For others, it may be just a day off for an extra-long weekend. Whatever it means to you, we cannot forget the real reason for the holiday itself. Today, we remember the men and women who paid the ultimate price for our freedom in this country. Not only did they fight in a foreign war or serve in the armed forces, but ultimately lost their life. We can never forget about what we have because of what they gave. I say it, and every day, THANK YOU!
Their sacrifice reminds me of what Jesus Christ did for us. He came down from Heaven to serve the people. He taught them. He healed them. He encouraged them. But it was His ultimate sacrifice of death on the cross that gave me (and you) the ultimate freedom – everlasting life and closeness with God.
These stories and promises of what God gave to me through Jesus Christ can be found throughout the Bible. These stories are often difficult to understand without the proper context found in an excellent study bible. The new Holman KJV Study Bible will help you fully understand the stories of the Old Testament, the parables of the New Testament, and what His ultimate sacrifice means to me as a child of God.
We recently hosted a giveaway, where our blog followers and Instagram followers had a chance to win one of the new Holman KJV Study Bibles.
Congratulations to Deloris (from Instagram), the winner of the Giveaway.
Deloris will receive their own copy of the Holman KJV Study Bible. We will be in contact with you soon.
Stay Tuned for our next giveaway, coming soon!

Lipstick is one of the best ways to lift your look and elevate your style, but so many women aren’t using it to their full potential. Let’s change that right now by looking at some of the best lipstick hacks I know…

Smooth your smile
If you want your smile to be as smooth and slick as possible, you should exfoliate your lips while they’re dry, using a clean mascara wand. Once you’ve removed the dead skin, apply a little lip balm, and slick on your favorite shade of lipstick for a smooth, flawless look.
Whiten your teeth
Although lipstick won’t permanently lighten your teeth – you’ll need the help of a good cosmetic dentist like Prince Dental Group for that – it can provide a temporary solution. If your teeth are looking less than perfectly pearly, apply a pinky-nude shade to your lips and your teeth will instantly look whiter and brighter. Dark shades just highlight the yellow of your teeth, while light pinky shades will detract from any imperfections and immediately brighten your style. It really is that simple.
Brighten your cheeks
So many women still don’t know that lipstick doesn’t just have to stay n the lips., Your favorite shade of pink lipstick can also be applied to your cheeks, and as long as you blend it carefully, it will give you a healthy colorful glow that’s just as good as any cream blush on the market.

Get precise with a concealer brush
If you want your lipstick to look as neat and natural as possible, instead of applying it with a lipstick brush, or directly from the lipstick container, use a concealer brush instead. This brilliant beauty hack will not only allow you to apply it far more accurately, but it will also enable you to create an opaque look that it would be difficult to achieve using other methods.
Make it last
If your sick of having to reapply your lipstick look every few hours, simply apply a thin layer of translucent powder over your lipstick once it has been fully applied, and then do a little blotting with a tissue to remove the excess, The powder will not only keep your lipstick in place all day, but it will help you achieve a more natural matte look without much effort.
Go a shade darker
If nude lipstick is your thing, but you can never seem to make it look as good as the models do, it’s not you – it’s your lipstick. So many women make the mistake of choosing a nude lipstick that is the same color as their skin, when actually., they should be choosing a nude that is one shade darker than they are. This will help to give the lips more definition, while still appearing to be nude and natural.
Now you know the secrets to better-looking lipstick, time to start practicing so next time you have a big night out, you can really blow everyone away with your luscious, long-lasting lips.

It seems like everything is going so fast now, and what better way to get off the spinning wheel is to enter Katherine’s Corner giveaway that I’m co-hosting with a great group. May is my birthday month, and it’s a great way to start off decorating for the summer season ahead. My hubby and I selected a nice variety of flowers and herbs that we planted in the backyard last week and started seeing growth. The irises and yarrow in the front yard have been smelling sweet and are in full bloom. Summer is a time to focus on the outdoors and add something new to the decor inside. Katherines Corner giveaway includes a mason jar light set that can brighten up any space that needs a pop of beautiful glow, whether in a bedroom or an entranceway.

Hi Beautiful People,
Holman KJV Study Bible Front Cover
It’s Giveaway time!
My birthday was this week, and I am celebrating the whole month! What better way to celebrate my birthday than by offering a giveaway. My hubby has had birthday surprises for me starting last week, and I’m grateful. That guy treats me like we first laid eyes on each other. I can go on, but let us talk about the giveaway. Reading the Bible refreshes my soul, and every time I read it, I get something completely different out of it. I had gotten into the habit of using my iPad or my iPhone at home or when I’m at church. There is nothing wrong with that at all. However, I need to open up the B I B L E and turn the pages. I must admit that it is a different feel. I actually find myself using my iPad and bible together, and I must admit it’s good. In collaboration with LEV3L Digital, I had the opportunity to review the Holman KJV Study Bible. I sometimes have found that the KJV Version is a little difficult to decipher. However, this Bible has a wide array of learning tools that makes understanding easier. I’m learning from my pastor that I pray first for wisdom, understanding, and read for context and not directly to commentary as a first resource—what better time to start getting in the word of God than right now.

Pets are good for the soul! Honestly, you’ll be amazed at how many benefits a pet dog or cat will bring to your life. If you suffer from mental health problems, getting a pet can help you calm your symptoms and feel less anxious or depressed. If you have kids, pets can form bonds with them and become friends for years. Generally, there are no major downsides to having pets – a least, none that will outweigh the positives!

With that in mind, let’s talk about styling your pets. Dressing your pets up can be highly popular, and it’s a fun way to make them more unique and cute. However, there are safe and unsafe ways to style your pets. Below, we’ll list some of the main safety tips to know before you switch up your pet’s style:
Be careful around their neck
Collars or stylish chains are both popular accessories to add to your pet’s style. Nevertheless, it would be best if you were careful when putting anything around your pet’s neck. If you’re opting for a collar, be sure that it fits your pet and isn’t too tight. You’ll know if the latter is the case as your pet will visibly look like they’re struggling to get out of the collar. Chains are also popular – you’ve probably seen a French bulldog with chain before, as this is a common pairing to come across. Again, ensure the chain isn’t too tight and be sure that it’s not heavy. You want to reduce as much tension and stress on your pet’s neck as possible!
Be cautious of choking hazards
You can get plenty of pet outfits or clothing that are unsafe. Mainly, they’re unsafe as they include loads of choking hazards. For example, anything with buttons is a no-go. The buttons can easily come off, and you best believe that your pet will attempt to chew on them. As a result, there’s a severe choking hazard if they swallow anything small like this. Remember, your pet is much smaller than you to choke on things a lot easier than you. Steer clear of any outfits or pet clothes that contain small pieces that might fall or be ripped off.
Ensure your pet can move freely
Lastly, please pay attention to your pet to ensure they can move freely when dressed in anything. Even if you have a little waterproof jacket when it rains, be sure that your pet can actually move around in this without any problems at all. It is potentially dangerous and harmful for your pet to be restricted in their movements, possibly even causing injuries or physical problems. Again, you can notice this by watching their body language and seeing if they are physically struggling. If they are, take the item off right away!
There’s nothing wrong with dressing up your pet or giving them a few accessories to improve their style. However, always keep your pet’s safety and wellbeing at the forefront of your mind. These three tips will ensure you can style your pet without putting them at risk.
