Anxiety

For as long as I've known I've had anxiety whether I knew that it was anxiety or not I had it. I finally realized what it was my summer before sophomore year when I was at sleep away camp and had to have my mom come get me at 10 at night because I just simply could not stand being away from home. I would just sit and cry and it could be for no reason at all I had this feeling in my stomach as well That just would not go away. I have had a lot of things happen to me as a kid but I think my anxiety really started to get worse after loosing my aunt that summer. 

For me I had social anxiety at first. I didn't make friends easily I would avoided lunch in highschool and would keep to myself. This got a little better after I went on some medicine I could tell that I was more willing to talk to people and I wasn't having mood swings like I was before.In  my senior year I made more friends and wasn't that awkward kid sitting in the back of the room .  A lot had changed my senior year and all though my social anxiety had started to die down my other anxiety started to come out. I had stopped taking my pills towards the end and stopped seeing a counsler. There's times where I can be fine and dandy and then there can be months where I have anxiety attacks like every other day. 

Recently I have learned to rely on God for everything and that I have to rely on him for my anxiety too. God is your rock and your strength we need to use his strength to help us get through our situations. I used to worry about what would happen in the furture, I would sit up at night and obsess over certain things. It says in Matthew 6:34 "therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself each day has enough trouble of its own" this helps me in the fact that I just need to be in the now and let God take care of everything else. 

I was in a bible study this past week and at one point we were talkin about how in the midst of our trials and fears we need to have perfect peace. That we need to be calm when somethin doesn't go are way knowing that God will take care of it and he has a plan for our lives. 

This will be a ongoing subject I think that making awareness of anxiety is good it lets people know that they are not the only one going through this. In no ways have I fully overcome my anxiety but God is truly helping me and teaching me to cope with it and to Learn what sets me into a frenzy. I encourage you this week to pray whenever you feel anxious and to learn to trust in him. 

Including God: In work

Recently i have been thinking about a couple different things in my faith life. i have been trying hard to make sure that i put God first and include him in absolutely everything.

Lets start with bringing God into your work life. Now i feel that some work places you are not aloud to talk about God or simply people just don't want to hear it. luckily i have personally been blessed with being able to say what i believe in freely. I am also blessed with having a couple women in the salon who are strong int here faith and i feel this can help you a lot in work ! now one of the first things they tell you in cosmetology school is what to talk about and what to NOT talk about. Politics, religion and something i else that i cant seem to remember.

To me this is just a little difficult. I'm making God be every part of my life so he should be part of my work life right ? Yes ! but as i sit here writing im being reminded that you don't have to just talk to your client about your faith you can show them in your actions. the way you talk or the way you act. The last thing about bringing God into your work life is that when you are having a tough day or it is the worst day at work stop and ask God what he can do to use you in your work force. I have recently done this when frustrated and Have just been told to let it go .( cue the frozen singing ) 

I think that Faith is not Just going to church every Sunday i think that its a relationship with God. He knows you on a personal level so we need to try and know him on a personal level as well ! I challenge you to come along with me and try to know God more and more. Know who he is and what he has done and what he will do. I challenge you all to just open your bible for a bit and just read about him and talk to him! 

I  want to end this post with my favorite verse of all time which is from exodus 14:14 and it is " The lord will fight for you ; You need only be still" 

Product Review : Maybeline Matte foundation

Hello everyone so today i am going to be telling you about this new foundation that i have tried out ! so lately i have been wanting to try out a new foundation, i was in a rut i had tried one got bored went back to my old one and was still bored. so i decided to jump into it and try out the new maybelline fit me matte and pore less and i have to say i love it !

This foundation glides on very easily and gives you a nice smooth finished look.It tends to dry really fast which for thoose in a rush in your mornings can be a good thing. overall i believe that this is a good product. its not to heavy for summer and will give you a matte finished look They have many different shades to choose from and you will always be able to find your shade! Another awesome thing is that they have more products in the Fit me line. They have another foundation,a powder,stick foundation and much more ! 

I would have to say the only thing that i did not like about this product is if you have any dry spots on your face the foundation will stick to it . To make sure this doesn't really effect your foundation moisturize and prime your face before you put on this foundation . Another thing i don't like is that you have to pur the foundation out onto a sponge or your hand, I wish that there was a pump to this. 

I suggest that you run to your local cvs or rite aid and try this product out !it is amazing and will become a stapel in your everyday makeup. Whats your favorite foundation for summer ? Also what is your favorite maybelline product to use ?
