Follow My Beauty Blog!

So, yes... I have a few blogs that I maintain, and a few more that I haven't been maintaining as much as I intended to...

Well, mis amigos, today is your lucky day!  I am going to make a point to do a weekly post on my Beauty Blog, "Painted Beauty".  I know, I know, the last post was 2 years ago... It's a wordpress blog, since I was - at that time - debating which to continue using, blogger or wordpress.  I like both, for different reasons, and for different blogs.  Rather than reinventing the proverbial wheel, I'm going to just keep writing there....

I may not be certified in how to beautify people, but I sure like to help people look the best they can, and FEEL the best they can, and that's the most important part!  I will be sharing my discoveries, my tips, tricks, and attempts that result in both successes and disasters... how else do we all learn? 

Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to explore for you/with you! 

Just Life

I feel like I should have something to say, but I'm not sure that I have anything specific to say, so I'll just give you a brief update...

I've been working two jobs, and that's been great.  I'm still living at home, my parents and I have a pretty solid relationship, and it's allowing me to pay them back & pay down some of my bills (like student loans and my car payment!) and that's going pretty well. 

I haven't dated much at all, and it's been almost a year since JJ and I broke up.  Being busy most of the time has really helped keep me from missing the good times, and seeing my friends & family in their relationships most definitely reinforces my decision and helps me to forget the bad times.  I really miss his daughter, and I pray for her every day, hoping that she hears my voice in her head, that those seven long-but-short months help her to strive for a better life! 

My health is finally getting better-ish???  My achilles is healing from the tear, my knees seem to be holding up, and my allergies are slowly starting to wind down a bit.  I'm looking forward to getting back into the gym, and cannot wait to be at full health to start the 12 week workout challenge again and hopefully walk-jog a few more 5k's in the near future! 

It's baseball season, and I LOVE baseball!  I'm going to go to lots of games this year, both Tacoma Rainiers & Seattle Mariners... if anybody wants to tag along, just let me know! 

I'm singing at church again - St Barbara's, in Black Diamond.  It's nothing like I thought I wanted, but it's exactly where God is calling me to be, and I enjoy it.  I will be splitting my Sunday mornings for the next few months between church and watching Marina's girls, which I really look forward to.  They are growing so fast, and having a regular date to see the Juarez family will be good! 

Nothing profound, nothing too exciting, just life.... and I'm okay with that.
