Tuesday Treasures

Hello! Welcome back!

Ok, I know I promised to keep up with this here page better this year, and I know I may have skipped a week or three, and I know it is actually wednesday... But I am back now and all is right in the world again! Right? Maybe not, but I'm doing pretty well (Aside from this menacing cough that I can't seem to shake).

Well lets take a deep breath then get started shall we? 



Trending: Sparkles
Allright, I'm a girl. I love anything that sparkles! And currently trending is everything that sparkles - which I love.  It's all over pinterest! >>Check it!

And if I may toot my own horn just a bit, I would like to point out that I was wearing these back in May of last year before they hit it big ;)

One tip: Stick to one sparkly aspect of your outfit such as

Otherwise you may begin to look like this girl


And while I am a closet Ke$ha fan, she does go a bit over the top with the glitter.

Anybody have that terribly ugly ceiling fan that is just such a hassle to switch out with a shiny expensive new one? Give it a makeover! I personally am digging this chevron pattern that is currently trending right now and here is an awesome tutorial to achieve this super easy room face lift.

This girl has earned some major respect and a lot of media attention lately. Kylie was the winner of the 2009 "Victoria's Secret Model Search". And over the last few years has had huge success as one of the Angels. But lately as she states in an interview she started to feel convicted. She decided to quit working for Victoria's Secret so that she could honor God and Her husband with her body. How awesome is that!? 
Way to go Kylie! You have my respect :)
Here is a picture of her with her lucky husband.

Here is a video of her in an interview followed by a guy who speaks some truth.

This blog is home to some beautiful home renovation ideas for amazing prices! I have it bookmarked and I think you should too! It's quite adorable! 

Saved this one for last because it is Oh So Important! 
Should Not Be Trending : Children's Sex Change Operations
Apparently they are on the rise according to this article.
It looks as though there is a new disorder where children are adamant that they were born into the wrong body and instead of confirming the sex that they are, parents are allowing and even advocating for sex change operations as low as 16 years old and hormone blocking drugs as low as 4!!! That is insane and it needs to not be happening. What is going on here world? 

I would just like to say to anyone who may think that their gender is a mistake, God does not screw up. He knew exactly what he was doing when he made you. He designed you specifically for a specific purpose.
Here is a video that broke my heart.

My Beauty Routine

Hello Loves! I've had some questions about my beauty routine and I decided that although I don't have any secret magic make you beautiful potion, I can share what I do have :) I have recently decided that I really really want to be healthy, inside and out. So I've started (trying) to eat healthy(er) and exercising. But I think that should also include beauty products that don't have a lot of preservatives and chemicals. Think about it, you use this stuff EVERY DAY! All of those bad things like parabens and alcohol sink into your skin and scalp and do damage slowly but surely. So I decided to go natural. Now, I know what you're thinking, that going all natural is totally unreasonable and EXPENSIVE but I have searched high and low and I think I have found some very nice and reasonably priced (rhyming is fun) products that I have been using and I can confidently stand by.  Let's start with the hair shall we?   Now, I am no stranger to hair colori...

Pre-Movie Blogpost

Hello friends :) It is Wednesday and tomorrow my husband takes his citizenship test as he is from England originally. He is a bit ridiculous in that he is only now picking up the 100 question study guide for the test. He will probably still get a 100 on the test simply because he is a genius. So frustrating for us regular folks who actually have to work hard just to seem smart.  I spent my day just hanging around the house cleaning things and working on my new online shop  Here is a link to the etsy and facebook page:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/AgainstTheWindDesign http://www.facebook.com/pages/Against-The-Wind/223030597739114 It seems so official! I have been planning on opening a shop of my own for a while now and it's actually about to happen! I am so excited! I will be selling all handmade jewelry to start out with and I will branch out eventually to hair accessories, scarfs, and at some point I'll start my own line of clothing :) We will see how it goes....

The Waitressing Side of Life

Hello good readers! I have missed you all dearly :) Today I want to talk about something that I feel should be common knowledge but for some reason people don't seem to know: Restaurant Etiquette - With the main focus on how to treat your server As someone who has been a server for all of my young adult life I have declared myself an expert in the matter. Before we get started, let's take a sneak peek into the life of a server. Servers do not get to eat at the normal meal times. Servers make $2.13 an hour in the state of Texas. It varies from state to state but the general idea is that they are employed by the people they are waiting on. Servers do not get free food whenever they want. Servers have to smile constantly for hours at a time. - Regardless of how rude people are. Those are just a few of the things that servers have to deal with on a regular basis.  Now don't get me wrong, I love my job. The people I work with are nice, the food is delicious, and there i...
