IM BACK!!!!

HEY GUYS,

     It has been a while since ive been on here and I missed blogging sooo much! I have some new projects in the working and Im so excited to share them once I have everything up and running....I see a very bright future ahead of me!

Indian Inspired

So I decided to do this indian inspired makeup look that I got off of youtube and some other pics. I love it alot and i realized that they usually have alot of bling and nice jewlery and bright makeup. This picture doesnt even do the makeup justice. I think its so beautiful and I have already done an african inspired and Geisha inspired look. See the pics below.

HAIR RIGHT...BODY TIGHT...SKIN BRIGHT..SPIRIT LIGHT Challenge

READY.....SET...GO!!!

                          So Ladies I am really trying to keep up with my regimens and I have not come up with a skin regimen just yet but I am making sure to drink lots of water. My Hair regimen is going smooth and I am making sure I moisturize and seal every night along with washing every week. So for the body tight portion although I have not started working out as of yet I am trying to get my nutrition in order first. So i came up with the idea of instead of counting calories making a chart with the different food groups i am trying to concentrate on and every time I eat something I check the box under the right one. If it has more than 5g of a particular thing then I will make a check, if not i will put a zero. Heres a pic of the chart and please excuse my messy handwriting. As you can see there is a good carb, bad carb, fiber, protein, fat, natural sugar, and unnatural sugar section. Good carbs are in fruit and whole grains breads, and pastas. If it says enriched it is a bad carb or anything "WHITE" like white bread ,bagels, pasta and rice.  Fiber is in leafy greens and there is a high fiber content in beans and in berries. Protein is your meats, and also in peanuts, and dairy products as well. Make sure you get lean protein like chicken fish and lowfat cheeses or milk. Then there is a sugar portion and natural sugars are best. High Fructose Corn Syrup is not your friend so try and stay away from candy and sugary juices and sodas. Most foods will go in more than one category but if you find that you are eating more bad carbs or bad sugars and not enough fiber and protein that gets a fat NO BUENO!

I'LL Trust You (James Fortune and FIYA)

This gospel song is soooo deep because it touches on so many emotions I feel as a struggling christian in todays world. Its hard because sometimes you feel like you cant see or feel God but you have to trust that he is there. Faith is hard but you must know that his spirit is right there. Sometimes the things we have done hold us back and we feel like its too late....but its never too late. I get so worried about finding a job after college and being successful in life period but im TRUSTING he will make a way :)
I Trust You lyrics




(spoken)

One of the most difficult things to do is

find yourself in a storm and

while in that storm it seems like everyone who you

thought you could count on has

well walked away; and



Sometimes it seems like even God Himself has

forgotten about you.

But in spite of it all you should still be able

to lift your hands and say

"Lord, I trust You"



(verse 1)

Even though i can’t see

and i can’t feel your touch

i will trust you lord

how i love you so much

though my nights may seem long

and i feel so alone

lord my trust is in you

i surrender to you



(bridge)

so many painful thoughts

travel through my mind

and i wonder how

i will make it through this time



Chorus



(verse 2)

everything that i see

tells me not to believe

but i’ll trust you lord

you have never failed me

my past still controls me

will this hurt ever leave?

i can only trust you

no one loves like you do



(bridge)



(chorus)

but i'll trust you

lord it’s not easy

sometimes the pain in my life

makes you seem far away

but i’ll trust you

i need to know you’re here



through the tears and the pain

through the heartache and rain

Premium Duby Hair & Rockstar Glasses

Hey Chicas,

        So im LOVING THIS HAIR.... its definitely something I can see myself keeping for a while its Premium Duby hair in 8 inches on top and a ten inch at the bottom that I cut. I absolutely love this hair because it looks so natural and its pretty flowy. Yesterday I did a look with black eyeliner that I got from target for 3 BUCKS at target by elf and my red hot lip liner from NYX. My picture does not do the lip liner justice because its so bright in person. I usually put a lipstick on over it but i love the matte look so much better. These cool rockstar glasses were purchased downtown brooklyn right next to the A train stop at JAY ST. OHHHH IM FANCY IN THESE SHADES!!! Who Gonna CHECK ME BOO?!

                                                                                                                                       Love,
                                                                                                                                       Mz.Laura D

Lace Wig Blues,

So doesnt this piece look BOMB in this picture divas...Well pictures can sure lie because it was poppin the first few days and then this wig got all itchy and nappy....ughhhhh its called Scarlett and its by Freetress Equal. It has a Kim Kardash kinda look but then the curls get all nappy and i hate that about synthetic hair. Even though it is Futura hair and it does flat iron..But BEWARE ladies it does not curl up again. Heres a pic of what it looked like after I flat ironed it and cut a bang....

Knowing the Word

So recently I have been wanting to read the Bible more often because to know the word of God is to know truth. No one can sell you a swindle because its right there in bold print. Today, I came across a few scriptures in 1Corinthians Chapter 6 and some on 7 that really impacted me. Lets Start with Chap. 6 verses 15-20. 15: Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! 16: You not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, "THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH." 17: But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18:Flee immorality(Fornication). Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. 19Or:Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20: For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. This is soooo powerful because in this sex driven day and age it is hard as a young christian sometimes to obstain from certain things but right here in Gods word it says not to do those things because you can become one with that person. The reason for marriage is because your spirits are supposed to mesh together to become one under God. Would you want to commit sin against your own body? I DEF dont especially because the lord lives within in me. So therefore i should treat it with respect. FOOD 4 THOUGHT LADIES :)

Bible Verse of the Day Hebrews 13:5-6

Hebrews 13:5-6 (King James Version)

5Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Ladies,

Sometimes we get so focused on the material things that we forget and neglect God. Dont allow your whole life to be wrapped around wealth and earnings because God will provide and never leave you. I know for me as a college student trying to break into the career world, income is always an issue for me. Where will I work? How much I will make and how I will support myself are always reoccuring questions in my mind but this scripture tells me that God will help me and to not always chase the income but love what you do and be happy with what God has given you already! Dont be afraid of what others might do or say to put down your dream just keep your eye on the prize and keep treading forward!

HEY CHICAS!

Are you making the effort to get closer to God? Dont forget your body which is the temple in which Christ resides inside of you.
