Suprisingly Insightful

Don' t you love when God shows you insight?

No matter what the source or the matter on which he shows you, isn't it amazing to think "Wow, I never realized that God, thank you! I will from now on appreciate this." Well I had one of these moments the other night and the source of this insight came from a 7 year old little girl!

So on Friday night I babysat 5 kids over night so my bosses at the salon could have a night away for Chad (the husband) 's birthday! These are super easy going kids! I already knew it would be a fun night!

I picked up the kids from school (3 0f Chad and Rashelle's kids and 2 of their cousins) and headed back to their home! Where Aaron was waiting for us because he was home for the weekend and decided he could come hang out with us for a couple of hours before heading up to Nevada City. I cut Aaron's hair and then Aaron and I and the 2 little girls (Karah and Ruthie) played hide and go seek, clue, colored and just laughed and talked! It was so nice having Aaron there! The kids LOVE him and I can't help but love the way he is with kids!! I mean come on ladies!! When a man is good with kids is such an attractive quality! :)

We would sneak an occasional kiss when the kids weren't looking! At one point -
Ruthie: Aawin, come on! what are you doing?
Aaron : Sorry, I'm coming! I just had to give Molly something really quick!
Ruthie: (Silence).. What.... a kiss?
Aaron: (Silence).... (Chuckle) Yup.

Aaron left at about 5 and here is where the insight comes in! karah the 7 year old asked if she could brush my hair (um who doesn't love getting their hair done?? I LOVE these kids!) While She is brushing away this conversation happened (Remember she is 7 ) :

Karah: You and Aaron look at each other like I have never seen anyone look at anybody before!
Me: We do?
Karah: Yes, I hope somebody to looks at me that way someday!
Me: I promise somebody will look at you that way!
Karah Smiles
Me: What does is look like?
Ruthie(age 6): umm love? (duh molly!)

Insight sighting! A 6 year old and 7 year old noticed the way Aaron and I look at each other!?!? I don't think I have ever appreciated so much the love that Aaron looks on me with! I mean I have always noticed but I never knew it was evident to everyone else! I mean I always feel the love I have for him seeping out my pores! But I never knew it was something a little girl would see and long for! I feel sooo incredibly lucky!! I have a man who loves me so much that he even shows me love without talking to me, touching me or doing anything for me. He just looks at me, and I feel loved. Every girl deserves this. I hope every one of you has felt this! I will never take it for granted again! Thank you Karah for giving me perspective on one of Gods incredible gifts that I have never fully appreciated before. Thank you God for giving me Aaron and his eyes that look on me with a love that makes me feel special and beautiful. And thank you Aaron for loving me and making me feel loved beyond what I ever knew possible :)

Look for God's insight today on something you may have over looked, or not fully appreciated, but maybe others notice! It will bring a ray of sunshine and insight into your day, I promise :)

a beauty how to :)

Have any of you seen this picture and loved it?

Wanna Learn how to do the waterfall braid??
You are in Luck! I'm gonna teach you! :)

1. start the braid like you would a normal french braid
2. once it comes time to loop the bottom section back in - drop that section out and pull up different hair from beside the hair you dropped, and braid that in!

3. continue this always dropping the bottom section and pulling up more :)
its that easy! (my braid is the same technique only close to the scalp so i could take a picture!) Thank you pinterest for inspiring This beauty how-to :)


did you guys like this? give me feed back! I wanna try to do at least one how to a month :)

Aaron comes home for the weekend tomorrow!! woot woot! :)

I'm Baack!

Hello Bloggers! Let's just say I took the summer off from blogging! :) or we could say I couldn't think of anything to blog about... or we could say I was lazy with my blog.. but I like the one about taking the summer off! Having Aaron home was wonderful, Working a lot has been profitable and fun and Hawaii was an adventure that I will never forget! :)
Anyways I have found new inspiration to revamp my blog :
1. My wonderful Fiance' informed me I haven't blogged in soooo long, and he is now back at college so this will give me a good way to keep him updated and provide him (and you) with some entertainment!
2. Same said Fiance' has started his own blog! which totally motivates me to hop back on the blogger bus and keep up :) He is an excellent writer and I would love it if you gave his blog a read :) www.64overall.blogspot.com
3. I have stuff to blog about!! :) my new found obsession with Pinterest has given me recipes to share, crafts to rave about and hair styles to experiment with so look out my friends! I have much to share! :)

Anyways...
I'm back for good this time! I promise!

more tomorrow! :)

It has a comfortable waiting area

Summer Lovin'

Soo much has been going on!! Which I will update on later! But here is a hint : I am working now! In the beautiful and brand new Captivate Salon! and my next post will be all about it :)

But for now... (Annie inspired) here are the things that I am loving for this summer and am so happy to share!! :)

Hair-apy :

Bed Head Dumb Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner!!
Fantastic for colored hair or Blondie's! Keeps hair healthy and silky despite the heat and chlorine! ;)
Kenra Hair Spray!!
I love it! It smells good and has excellent yet still workable hold!! (And we use and sell it at Captivate!)

Glam it up :

Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl! It is a highlighter for the cheek bones, brow bones, and the inner corner of the eyes! I just got it and I LOVE it!! Its light and kind of bronzy and perfect for a little natural glow with your summer tan!! :)

Urban Decay 24/7 eye liners!!
waterproof. silky smooth. vegan. fun colors. need I say more??
Maybelene Falsies Mascara!
Love it!! full and lovely lashes! Great in waterproof or washable!!

Fashion favorite :

Cute Strappy sandals from rampage (via Macy's)!!
Just got them! Soo comfy and can easily be dressed up or dressed down and only $29.99 which is a good deal when the pair I was comparing them to was $69 and these are way cuter!!

Media must haves!

Blake Shelton's honey bee is a favorite summer tune so far!!

Everything on 100 more years is fabulous!! :)

That's all for now!! I hope you enjoy the tips :) Tell me what you think!

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there!!
Mom's are super hero's! This I strongly believe to be true!

They:
Wipe a nose, wash the clothes.
Stay up all night, comfort a fright.
Dry many tears, count the years.
Be your biggest fan, give advice when finding a man.
Shop for the perfect prom dress, when given reason about you they stress.
Cry when made proud, say "shhh!" when things are loud.
Miss showers they would like to take, yummy things they always bake.
Make their children s life better then they ever had, make it all better when they are feeling sad.
Forgiveness to them is a given, and they'll teach you HE IS RISEN.
Buy a new ice cream because the old one is all over the floor, take a trip to the sea shore.
Plan a wedding, buy new bedding.
Love their child with all their heart, call a bunch of scribbles a work of art.

Who else could do all these things?? They are not easy, They are tiring. Only a mother! When I wrote this, I was thinking of my mother :)Mom, you are a super hero! I have always said when I grow up I want to be a mom! I still find this to be true! Thank you mom for giving me someone to look up to and someone to want to be :) I love you!

I am so excited to be a mom someday and be one of these superheros! :)

and just to make you laugh I put Aaron and I's pictures through a website that shows you what your kids could look like by morphing two pictures together and this is what our future daughter could possibly look like!

Hope you all had a very special day! :)

May the Fourth, Be With You :)

Apparently it is national Star Wars day and my closet nerdy-ness comes out because I think that saying is hilarious! And I do love the star wars movies! I have seen them all :) Anyone else a closet Star Wars nerd? Anybody? :)

In Other News

I have not blogged in forever! So here is the update! Aaron was home for spring break! Which was amazing and wonderful! We got to have so much quality time together! We got our engagement pics taken! (Thank you Lisa!) Aaron made me a special dinner! (He homemade lasagna, and made a Reese's PB cheesecake cake!! Delicious! My man can cook!) And also we spent a day at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom! Where it was raining off and on all day so we pretty much walked on to every ride, got to see the walrus from "50 First Dates" and got soaked watching the Shouka the killer whale show in the rain.. In the splash zone! We are crazy, but I loved every minute of it! :)

Then, as you all know, We flew to Seattle for my moms birthday! :) Also for Easter, and Max's birthday! Soo much fun and Annie's blog showed tons of great pictures from that trip! :)

So now I am back home! Awaiting the salon I'll be working at to open and enjoying the nice weather! Spring has (finally) Sprung!! Time for popsicle's and fun in the sun :) May the Fourth be with you! :)
