5 Favorites!

Well, posting in September has been a fail... seeing how this is only my second this Month. 
In my defense (excuse) it's been busy! 
"Where'd Kaylee go?!"

I've:    Won an iPad, entered a pageant, joined two clubs in school, been cast in a play, filmed for some upcoming projects (whose names are under wraps at the moment;)), started a refined sugar and fried food fast, and neglected my devotionals (again:/)


So here's to 5 favorites, things I've been enjoying in my siesta away from the blog world:
1.      Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Bread,
 is an organic, nutritionally-dense, high fiber bread that also is a complete protein — one of the few breads on the market that contain all 9 essential amino acids, is low in fat, has no Trans Fats or cholesterol and is generally low in sodium.

THIS BREAD IS A BLESSING.
Why?
 No flour= no carb crash
Protein= more filling= eat less= healthy portions= a healthy diet= happy body
It's amazing, end of story.


2. Winged Eyeliner,
Whether paired with a bold lip and matching blush, or a nude face, winged eyeliner is so classic and easy!
I have a little trick... I draw the line on the outer half of the lid, so I can focus on the wing. This is super helpful for if you have already applied mascara, then apply a highlight on the inner corner, and apply white eyeliner on the bottom waterline. its' a cute, easy makeup job, and you don't have to worry about the black smears you get underneath your eye with normal eyeliner!

3. Waves




An easy hair-do! Procedure:
1. shower. (thats good to do every once in a while;))
2. comb hair 
3. apply hair product (if you use any regularly)
4. braid
5. go to sleep.
6. take out braids in morning, and voila!  Beautiful waves, and all you did was sleep. 
best bedhead ever.


4. Sparkles.
Yes. Be it shoes, eyeshadow, or clothes, glitter is big right now!!

5. Dylan Patrello:
Her lyrics and rhythms are so relaxing, fresh and unique!






 So there's my 5 favorites for the month of September!!


Proverbs 12: 25
Worry weighs us down; a cheerful word picks us up.


Task for tomorrow, give someone a pick-me-up with a cheerful word!


Hope everyone's September was a good one!

Beware of Christians

My church hosted a screening of the Movie "Beware of Christians" recently.



In this Documentary, 4 College guys from Highland Park, Dallas take a trip to Europe to escape american culture and throw everything they know about church out the window, all with a goal to grow closer to God.
They interview many Europeans about views of faith, and problems facing young people today.
What I took away from it after was the art of listening. I have a problem with talking and arguing instead of listening. But once you stop talking and start listening, you begin to understand truly what us Christians need to do to live like our name... (Christian means 'Little Christ')



Matthew 23

Religious Fashion Shows
 1-3 Now Jesus turned to address his disciples, along with the crowd that had gathered with them. "The religion scholars and Pharisees are competent teachers in God's Law. You won't go wrong in following their teachings on Moses. But be careful about following them. They talk a good line, but they don't live it. They don't take it into their hearts and live it out in their behavior. 


Christ didn't look down on the prostitutes, thieves, and beggars. Christ called out the Pharisees...a.k.a. the religious of the religious.... They knew the rules, went to school for religion, and made sure everyone knew they did.
But Jesus knew what they were really all about.
Beware of Christians, to me, calls upon the fact that a lot of God's proclaimed people aren't really walking with him, and it's blatantly apparent, especially through a non-Christians eyes.
I applaud Will Bakke for a great film that's hilarious, and thought provoking at the same time!
