Will there be food in heaven?

Not only is there food in heaven, but there is a feast that goes on for eternity (source: The Sinner's Guide by Venerable Louis of Granada). I was like, whaaat? Do I really want to eat for the rest of my afterlife? But after thinking about it while eating a juicy, sweet peach, I decided YES. What else other than a delicious chocalate chip muffin, shoots me out of bed in the morning? Face it, we love food.

We snack on it, talk about it, text about it, have jobs about it, and go places solely dedicated to it. There's channels, magazines, books, and newspaper sections all about it. Who hasn't asked a friend if she could have a teeny tiny piece of what she's eating?  And most of the time it's where we hang out with friends. Food connects us. Most of us have chatted around a table of cups filled to the brim with frozen yogurt. It just goes to show how much Jesus understands us and how He was once human too.

Inspiring Quote

"Make use of temporal things, but desire eternal things. Temporal goods will never satisfy you. Love alone that comes from God makes burdens light. The man in love flies high, runs swiftly, and overflows with joy. He is totally free for there is nothing to hold him back."

From: The Imitation of Christ pg. xxii and xxiii

Vintage Haul

So I spotted a cute display window that belonged to a vintage boutique store. I had never been in it before and decided to check it out. I'm not really a vintage-y kind of girl but this store totally changed my mind. I'm practically in love with it or at least the boutique. Vintage doesn't mean granny high heels or unstylish, high waisted clothes. It means colorful high heels that don't look like you just bought them in the same store as the girl next to you. Hair bows that have you throwing away your headbands. Tops that scream cute. Earnings that change up the usual diamonds but don't go into old lady pearl territory. And the purses are everything from crossbody to wallets smaller than the palm of your hand. And anything from studs to leather. The very best part is this boutique has things for super cheap.The purses at $14 and under. Hair things at $4 and under. Clothes around $10. I don't remember the jewelry price. Check out your local boutiques :) They are like hidden treasures waiting to be found! The photos down below are of the things I bought. I will keep you updated about my vintage finds :). Keep me updated about yours!

P.S. The items at the boutique were either vintage or vintage inspired.

Short Shorts Making Modesty Difficult

It used to be the problem of getting shorts to fit me. But now it's the problem of getting shorts that don't feel like underwear. Even with modesty aside, I'm a little big boned so no I don't want to show off the thickest part of my thighs and second they are just plain uncomfortable that short. And I don't want bermuda shorts. Personally I can't feel pretty in those. Finally after going to 3 stores (Aero, JcPenneys, and Deb) I finally went to American Eagle where my old pair of shorts were from. They had the perfect length there! They have lots of washes and styles. They're comfy too.  So check out American Eagle if you rather not risk showing your booty. Down below is a picture of my shorts so you can see the length.

Augustine Mission comes and Nyx "All I ever wanted" makeup box

So I had an amazing mass at my school this past week.  This priest and kids at the Indian reservation came to play drums and sing in their native language and I loved it. What really got to me was that they sung a thanksgiving song for the Eucharist. I've always thanked God for dying on the cross, but I never thought about thanking God for the Eucharist. It's this beautiful gift God gave me and I didn't even thank him for it! Also the priest that resided at the Mass actually spent some time at the reservation and played this flute that wasn't like a regular flute. He played a healing prayer song and it was so pretty. It was familar so I think I have heard it before maybe on the Catholic radio when my mom listens to it or something. It was much needed too because my friendships needed healing.

I just wanted to put this into the same post too. I went to Urban Outfitters and got the Nyx 'All I ever wanted' makeup palette. It was 28 dollars and it's pretty good makeup. Still extremely happy with it and it's been a week so far. I love love love makeup. It's pretty much my passion even though I want to produce a magazine. I always want new makeup and I always look at makeup and spend my money on it. The reason I'm really happy with it (besides the quality) is when I see for instance an eye shadow I know I already have that color in my palette.  I can do makeup looks and do what I'm passionate about without a barrier like that. I can now focus and spend my money and time on clothes, rings, shoes, and other stuff.  It's the best makeup purchase I've ever done and it's the happiest I've been with makeup in a long time. I got to try it out at Urban and my friend searched reviews on her phone.

What Happened To the Cross After Jesus died?

From an unknown person on Answers.com:

“Based on what I have read, the cross was left at the site where the crucifixion happened and was rediscovered in 326 by Constantine's mother Helena. As said, only a small fragment of that ancient wood remains and is highly guarded and kept under wraps in a church in Rome, possibly the Vatican.

I took a visit to the Dom Cathedral in Cologne, Germany. We went inside the Treasury, and were stunned to find that behind a glass box, surrounded in pure gold and silver as well as precious jewels, there were actual fragmented remains of the Holy Cross. The subtext on the wall said that it was a gift from Emperor Alexis I of Constantinople. It was altared in the 13th century. (The cathedral is the largest in all of Germany, also being the 2nd tallest in Europe. If you havent seen it in person, scribble it on your things-to-do-before-you-die list. It's breathtaking.)”

Anyway there’s a lot of controversy especially because people claim to have fragments of the cross and give it to churches but it’s fake. But what is really true is Helena did discover it and most likely the one in Rome is a true fragment because of that. What’s your opinion?

The Natural Way to Keep Eye Bags Away

I was sitting in the white chair that Younkers has in their cosmetics department (or maybe it was Von Maur?). I wanted to try out a Clinique under eye concealer. The sales person asked me where I use my concealer at. I said under my eyes and on my eyelid. She looked at me like I said something wrong. I couldn't figure out what so I just repeated myself. Then she spoke. "You don't want to use it on your eye lid. It can get into your tear duct." Fast forward real quick to when I saw a Scott barnes makeup tutorial video on YouTube. He was talking about not putting eye cream around the inner corner of your eye because it will slip into your tear duct and cause eye bags.

But don't worry the eye cream will slide and hydrate that area. But it will keep your under eye circles away too. Also the sales person recommended an eye primer. It will conceal your lid (the little veins and darkness) and keep the eye shadow from getting into, you know... your tear duct.
