Modesty Ideas...as requested

You requested Modesty Ideas....so here we go!
-Flame

From DownEast Basics (this is their new stuff).  Layer them with demis, tees, etc.
  Layer it.  Love it!  (I recommend a demi-tee for underneath.)
  Put a tee underneath and SHAZAM!  You've got some flame-filled fashion there!
 Feminine and modest with a little bit of layering!  :)
 SO CUTE!
 Hot date, temple, church - anything! - HERE I COME!  *except the hot date will have to wait a year!*

  CUTE EMBELLISHMENTS!  :)
 Classic tee or wonder tee: LIFE SAVER
Awesome coverup!

Now some Shabby Apple....








How about some normal department stores?

Like Kohls....

With Maxi's like this....layer with a tee or demi.  :)

Golden Goals

Hi Girls,

  So, I started this strange goal thing last night at like...I don't know....10:00.  It was way grand!

  1. Choose something that you want, that you can get for yourself.  A new laptop, a new dress, whatever!  So, for example, I could choose this:
 
    So, basically, it has to be something you want to work for and will work for.

    So, first you make a little paper - doesn't have to be a poster board or anything - with five things on it:
-A picture of the object (or just what it is)
-The price (if it has one)
-Golden Coin Value (I'll explain in a second).  You'll want to make it a fairly big number, but reasonable.
-The goal ending date
-Why you want it

2. Make Golden Coin "Mini-Goals".  These are little everyday things you can do to make "Golden Coins."  You divide them up into categories, and can have just a few or TONS!  For example:
    Personal Progress Coins
     -Finish Faith Project - 5 Golden Coins
     -Do Good Works Experience #3 - 1 Golden Coin

    Health Coins
      -Exercise for 30 Minutes - 2 Golden Coins
      -Eat no sugar for a week - 4 Golden Coins

    Church Coins
      -Go to Mutual - 1 Golden Coin
      -Missionary Moment - 3 Golden Coins

    Just small everyday things.  It could apply to school, work, whatever.

3.  Make a Coin Log.  You need to keep track of how many coins you earn daily.  This should be a fun competitive thing.  You want to make sure your coins are worth something, but that you won't be able to gain enough coins for your goal in one day.  So, make it like 300 golden coins' worth!

This is way fun.  I am super excited to get mine started and accomplish my goals!

Bright summer colors--modesty!

Hey girlies!

Summer is all about bright, amazing colors! You can still have tons of fun in the sun-modestly! :)

Here are a few ideas!

This is cute, modest, and summery! Here's an idea-wear colored jean shorts-they'll spurce up anything!

This is cute and fun! For church, or for a sunny June day!

Sort of a vintage style dress, very cute and summery! Great option for church or a date.

Here are some options for church!

Cute, more of an everyday thing, but a little on the dressy side. Here's a tip--wearing heels makes you appear leaner, as well as taller! They're a great balance to outfits, they pull everything together!

These are both amazingly cute and modest outfits.
TRY TUCKING YOUR SHIRT INTO A SKIRT, IT IS SOO CUTE! :D
White skirts rock for summer!

It's always been said--NEVER tuck your shirt in AND wear a belt--it's TACKY.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S TRUE! Look how cute this girl is! A fun summer hat keeps the sun off you, and ties some outfits together, like this one! :)

JEAN JACKETS RULE! They have a summery look, and can help with strapped dresses! Throw on some colorful flats, and WA-LA! Perfecto!

This blue dress is SOO cute and summery! But, I think it would look better with red shoes? Who agrees?
Well, this is my 3rd post on this blog, and I have to say, posting on it is a ton of fun!

Summer Fingernails Ideas!

Hey girlies!

I was doing my nails last night, and I thought "Wow", this would look great on my blog!
So, here are some pics, I'll give a tutorial as we run through.

So these are the nailpolish colors that I used:

The Green Nail Polish Brand is PURE ICE. I love this brand, it's good quality, and it applies smooth.
COST-CHEAP!-$1.97 @ Walmart

The neon pink Nail Polish Brand is-HEAVEN and it is also a good brand, but I like PURE ICE better. The neon pink goes on smooth, but does not stay on as long--apply a few coats!
COST-NOT sooo CHEAP, but okay-$2.87 @ Harmons


RESULTS!

This is how one nail turned out, I dild an alternating pattern.

PATTERN:
One nail lime green, next nail neon pink, lime green, neon pink, limegreen, etc.
ALTERNATING:
On the Green nails, I did NEON PINK polka dots.
On the Neon Pink nails, I did LIME GREEN polka dots.

It turned out sooo cute, I think!  This is an example of a green nail!

TO DO THIS:

Step one: Pick out two nail polish colors! *I personally like bright, summery ones.
Step two: apply the base colors in an alternating pattern (like if you did yellow and blue it would go: yellow, blue, yellow, blue, yellow, etc.) If you have trouble doing your "badhand" then have a friend or family member help you out!
Step three: APPLY THE POLKA DOTS! Now, this is a TON easier if you just buy a NailArt pen, which you can get @ $7.00 @ WalMart. I didn't have one--so I used--you'll never believe it. A PICK. LIKE YOU RUN THROUGH YOUR HAIR. I just dipped a bristle of it into the nailpolish, and did the dots. Presto!
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BUY A NailArt PEN:
You can use toothpicks, they work pretty well too!

Hope you guys loved this post! More coming soon from me, this is only my 2nd post on the blog!

My Glass...Learning to accept who you are and how you look

Hi Girls!
 
   So, as I was thinking of things I could say on a post today, a few conversations I've had with close friends of mine have came to mind.  As I dissected those conversations mentally, I decided that their material would be ideal for a posting.  So here I go.

   I have a few questions for each of you to answer not only mentally, but deep down in your heart.  Do I realize what I have inside of me?  Do I look past my figure and shape?  Do I love who I am and what I can be filled with, or am I too distracted by trying to bend myself?

  The first two questions are rather simple in meaning.  Do you love what you have on the inside?  In life, it is not about obtaining the perfect shape of body.  It doesn't matter if you are apple, pear, or any other type of fruit.  It doesn't make a dent if you have an hourglass figure or not!  One thing I love to remember is this:

  I was sculpted by the hand of the greatest being, my Heavenly Father.  I am the glasswork of his hands, beautifully unique.  But even more important than the housing He gave me for my spirit, is what I fill my glass with.

  At one point in my day, I was asking myself what body shape I had.   Personally, I'm a pear and an hourglass.  But one thing I realized is it doesn't matter what shape my body is. It doesn't matter how many zits I have on my arms or how many freckles dot my nose.  It doesn't matter how many dates I get, how many emails Mr. Perfect sends me, or how many things that I own.  I still have so much!  I have so many qualities and attributes, talents, and gifts to fill my glass with!  I shouldn't be trying to remold my glasswork, for otherwise I loose the time I could spend filling my glass with!

    I could spend hours in front of the mirror analyzing ways to make me be beautiful to the world.  But one thing I've learned is that God doesn't care what fruit your body resembles!  He cares that you are filling your glass -the potential, the body, and the spirit He's given you - with beautiful things.  You could fill your glass with dirt, just because you don't like the way the glass you were given was created.  Or you could fill it with rubies and gold, even if you don't have the most beautiful glasswork to put it in.

   We must keep our glass clean as well, "unspotted from the world." We can't neglect ourselves or look down upon ourselves just because we aren't shaped "the right way."  Still, we can present ourselves as daughters of God and as beautiful young women!
 
   I hope you remember the post I made called "Packages."  In it, I included a Scripture Mastery that talked about that God looketh on the inside. 

   I may be shaped like a fruit.  I may be shaped like a glass object you use to track time.  But it doesn't matter. God gave me this body and designed it beautifully.  But more importantly, He made it with the idea in mind that my glass is big enough to hold beautiful things!

You Are Not Alone: The Atonement

Hello,
   Today, I'd like to talk about a topic that is very close to my heart.
    The power and infinincy of the Atonement.
     Please stop for just a moment and ponder what the Atonement means to you.  Why is it important?  Why did it have to happen?  How does it apply to you?
     Besides the amazing forgiveness and healing all of us can find in the Atonement and through Christ, there is one other thing that always sticks out to me.
     Christ has suffered every pain, every affliction, and every heartache I've ever had and will continue to have.  Thereby, I am never alone in my pain. Though it may feel like we are the only ones who understand the pain of whatever we are facing, I promise you - You Are Not Alone. 
     I love the words of the song "Where Can I Turn For Peace."
     He answers privately.  Reaches my reaching.  In my Gesthemene, Savior & Friend.
    I sang that song in Sacrament a few weeks ago and starting choking up at that part.  How amazing it is to think that He has been beside you and has felt exactly what you have felt all the way down the road!  In your trials, tribulations, pains, and even in your Gesthemene, He is your everlasting Friend, your loving older brother, your understanding redeemer, and your never ending Savior.
    I promise you, there is no place you can go where His arms cannot reach.  He is there, He loves you, and He knows what you are going through.
He lives to comfort me when faint;
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears;
He lives to wipe away my tears;
He lives to calm my troubled heart;
He lives all blessings to impart.
He lives to bless me with his love;
He lives to plead for me above;
He lives my hungry soul to feed;
He lives to help in time of need.
-I Know That My Redeemer Lives
