Scout

Our new pup Scout. He is full of love and curiosity. 

 His paws are to be grown in to. He falls over them constantly. 

His eyes are big and his fur is soft. 

We love him dearly and are excited for Savannah to have someone to play with.

The trend right now is to make things seem effortless. Our make up is natural and our brows are bushy. Our sweaters are like blankets and our nails are long and neutral.

We try so hard to hide something that can be make beautiful with just a little bit of creativity.

Happy Autumn

It's the time of the year when I wish I lived in any other state. It can be 80 degrees outside and I will have the AC running as high as it will go just so I can make hot chocolate! I love wearing sweaters and boots and making my apartment smell like cinnamon. It's also the season where my favorite color is everywhere.

Orange!

Shall we..

The Great Debate

I found a really cool image that I hope will help you in choosing what haircut you want to try next. This picture shows a vary of face shapes and what hair cut or style looks best on them. The purpose isn't to hide a face shape, it's to bring forward your best features.

Oval: Ideal with almost any hair design, yet may lack a point of interest and can look plain. A stronger statement with the hair design may be used to create interest.
Round: Appears short and wide rather than long and narrow. Best to add height and long, wispy side areas to narrow the cheeks. Avoid volume at sides and curls. Place volume below jaw or above temple.
Heart (Triangle): Looks good with volume at chin and little or no volume on top. Curls help soften features. Avoid cropped napes so the face doesn't look too sharp.
Square: Short and wide. Add height on top and narrowness on the sides. Apply shapes that elongate the face. Very short hair with height can look good -- along with curly textures and wisps around the face. Avoid fringe or designs with width at the jawline.
Diamond: Add fullness at chin and narrow sides. Bobs and short hair work well. Avoid long, pointed side areas and height on top.
Pear (Trapezoid): Can wear graduated forms well. long, wispy side areas make cheeks and jaw look more slender. Avoid extremely short hair and bobs that end at the jaw.
Oblong (rectangle): Add softness and width with longer, curlier hair. Chin-length hair with volume on the sides is flattering. Fringe can shorten the look of oblongs. Avoid height and long, straight hair.

Love is sacrifice

"Love your self enough to walk away from something that no longer makes you happy"

But is that our purpose? 

To be happy?

I have been around a lot of people lately that seem to think that their meaning in life is to be happy. 

Wouldn't it be nice if that were true?

Our purpose in life is to love. 

To love is to sacrifice.

You cannot love and be happy always.

We live in a selfish world. Divorce rates are through the roof, famlies are broken, churches are empty, and people are friendless. 

 

 

How are you sacrificing your happiness for those you love?
