Makeup & Emotions | My Emotional Bond with Makeup TAG | My 1st COLLAB on YouTube!



I'm so excited, truly, to be announcing my 1st collab on YouTube with Joie De Fi and Makeup Dog. By far, they were the easiest women to work with, sharing so many great ideas, and the ease and organization. And this all started from reading a comment and following it to Joie De Fi's Youtube Channel, that lead to another video and started a conversation between the 3 of us. I'm just so grateful, and I hope it moves you all to think... If you follow me on my channel, you already know that's what I enjoy doing, provoking thought.

Thank you for watching and I can't wait to see your version of this tag video. Enjoy!

Books that Changed My Negative Pessimistic Thinking | Beyond Jabez+Science of Getting Rich+ More!

 
I didn’t go through all the books, nor did I even give a real description on each now that I’ve sat down and thought about it more. But this video was a great intro to some of the books I’ve read and am reading. I hope to do videos on 1 book at a time to really go in after a refresher. Let me know what y’all think. 
 
**BOOKS MENTIONED** 
 
**By Wallace D. Wattles 
The Science of Success (all 3 books) -http://amzn.to/2oaIGue 
Sidenote: I don't care for the drawings in the book that this publisher, not writer, decided to put in it, but I focus on the words. Not sure if there is just a plain text one, but you can also look for that. I say this publisher because I had just the Science of Getting Rich, and none of that was on it.

What's up with these MAKEUP PRODUCT NAMES | Are They SEXY or DESENSITIZING US?


BTW... I WASN'T SAYING THAT MARLENA OR MAC DADDY WITH ARTIST COUTURE ARE SATANIC... It showed that Marlena was in a different place than her usual "happy" self. I know I'm scratching on some uncomfortable places messing with our makeup, but it's good to not turn a blind eye to things that are right in your face. We should all be aware or asking questions like "why?" "Did they really have to name it that?" "Was that even necessary?". I'm just saying... but if you don't feel that way, hey... I totally understand that too... I tend of analyze everything, and this is just one of those things. Thanks for watching! I had to also say... I also wanted to say, doing this video made me realize how much more we need to pray for everyone, no matter what they are into to give themselves fully to God. #ileaveitinGodshands #keepprayingnomatterwhat #beaware #beprepared

Are there REALLY NO GOOD MEN Left? THE STRUGGLE OF BEING CHRISTIAN & Dating


So this topic came from one of my viewers, and I thought what better way to go into more depth than with a video. These are things to consider if you are struggling to find a "good man" in the Christian dating scene or in the world in general, whether you are Christian or Not.

DIY: Improve Video Lighting with $1 Aluminum Foil Tip+Rant about YOUTUBE PRODUCTION | Thanks Desi Perkins


A A light bulb went off in my head after watching The Perkins video on the lighting setup. I realized I was missing 2 things. 1. A diffuser to tone down my lights and stop it from looking so harsh on my skin, making the details difficult to see, and 2. No light source reflecting under my chin and chest area to make me look surrounded by lights. So in this video, I will show you my $1 solution to resolve the no light under the chin/chest area, and removing those shadows. Thanks for watching..

Things Looking Dark? You loosing Faith? Feeling Weak, Lost, Unsure??? Turn this up all the way up... "I Just Need U" by Toby Mac

I heard this song, "I just need U", last weekend and had no idea it was Toby Mac. All I knew is I was like..."who made this song???". It captures how I've been feeling more and more. I've come to realize, more and more, that my life sucks without me seeking God AND Jesus, EVERY SINGLE DAY... I get stressed out when I don't read from work, people, finishing projects on time. Basically put, my day doesn't go when I wake and don't pull that Bible open first thing and pray to God. I can't explain it... it's not something I told myself to make myself feel better. This is coming from a person who never sought God... I only did this thing called prayer when things got so bad I wasn't sure how to even begin fixing it. It you are feeling lost and don't know where to start... Music aka praise, that's what it basically is, will get you there! Not just any music, but the one that praises OUR God... Our meaning, you and me and EVERY single person who is breathing. I just had to post this because this is how much this song moved and just moves me PERIOD...

Real (CHRISTIAN) Relationship Goasl! This message will leave you THINKING!!! by Mike Todd #transformationchurch


Wow... I kept seeing this video show up in my YouTube feed, and didn't even give it consideration due to how young this guy looked. This message is put in a way that it's so relatable that it's ridiculous. A child could hear this and gain clear understanding of what we're doing wrong or what we're seeking as "relationship goals" that continues to not work for us. It doesn't matter your age or skin color, I think everyone should be watching this! Totally got me thinking!!!

Definitely worth watching!

Bronzing VS Contouring: Tips I took from watching Bobbi Brown on YouTube

So I got this idea from watching Bobbi Brown the makeup artist and brand, even she no longer owns it. I use to be all about the "perfect" face, but now, I realized one it didn't look like my face in photos, but worse was how my face look like in person. I looked totally "made up". With makeup, I prefer to go all out on the eyes and lips, but let my face remain my face. If you get what I mean. I hope y'all enjoy this video! And Thanks for Watching!

YouTube Beauty Community Tag Created by Lisa Stevens | THIS WAS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT BUT NEEDED!

First off!!! This was actually more fun to do than I originally thought it would be, and a little on the serious side for me because of the kinds of questions in this tag. They are not just generic Q&A's, but questions to really make you think. I have to give it to Lisa Stevens for really asking questions that make us share the parts of us we may be hiding behind, besides the lens. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching!
