Monday morning I was looking through my mom's wardrobe in an attempt to find something to wear and God must have been smiling down on me when I found this timeless leather skirt! the fit. cut and everything was just perfect! I wore it and everyone I saw on that day kept asking where I bought the skirt.

lip service!

We talking lips!

I have been told so many times that I have got nice lips! I always reply modestly that I look after my lips and I don't spare any expenses when it comes to buying lip gloss. I am also proud to announce that I have never ever had a fever blister in all my 26 years of existence, LOL!

all puckered up, lol


My lip care tips:

1. don't lick your lips, that makes them crack
2. don't put any lip gloss or balm on your lips, shop around and see what works
3. after brushing your teeth, lightly brush your lips with a hot toothbrush to get rid of the scaly bits that often make lips look yucky.
4. girls always make sure that you always well nourished lips! nothing is more of a turn off than ladies with parched lips!


This is what I use for my lips

     
Woolies tinted gloss, my mom introduced me to this, it does the job!

this I use to give my lips some colour, it also makes my lips look a bit "fuller"


a virtuous woman....

On  a spiritual tip this morning, mamelani...

Being a woman of substance is very hard nowadays. The word we live in is filled with so much darkness and moral decay. Despite that I strive to be the best woman I can be, I have faults and I have my moments of weakness but what consoles me is the fact that I know what the Lord wants me to be, he wants me to be a virtuous woman who can can withstand anything and everything.
I am a mother and in a committed relationship and whenever I am confronted with troubles that seem too much for me to bear, I remember my worth and my duty as a mother and a partner.
In Proverbs 31: 10-17 he tells us the kind of mothers and wives we should be.


Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character

10 A wife of noble character who can find?
    She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
    and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
    all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
    and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
    bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
    she provides food for her family
    and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
    out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
    her arms are strong for her tasks.

I find solace in these words and I know that being this woman is going to take some work but I know that the Lord will mold and shape me into a virtuous woman whose worth will be recognised and appreciated by those I come into contact with.
