  • Finding True Beauty: My Journey from Makeup Dependency to God-Given Freedom

    Finding True Beauty: My Journey from Makeup Dependency to God-Given Freedom

    I remember staring in the mirror, tears streaming down my face, desperately trying to “fix” what I saw reflected back at me. Maybe you know that feeling – the one where you can’t even imagine letting anyone, even those closest to you, see your bare face. Where your worth feels tied to how “done up” you appear.

    When Makeup Becomes a Mask

    Fresh into my marriage, I wouldn’t let my own husband see me without makeup. I was trapped in the lie that I was only beautiful when I was “dolled up.” But God, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, had different plans for my heart.

    Like many women, I felt the crushing pressure to conform to society’s beauty standards. When everyone around me – even respected women in ministry – were getting lip injections and chasing the latest beauty trends, I almost gave in. But in that moment of weakness, I heard the Lord whisper to my spirit: “Don’t hate yourself because I created a masterpiece.”

    The Beautiful Truth That Set Me Free

    Sisters, can I share something revolutionary with you? Your beauty isn’t found in the size of your lips or the size of your hips, the shade of your hair or the clothes that you wear. It’s not determined by the latest trends or how many products you own. You are beautiful because you are made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). You are His treasured possession (Deuteronomy 7:6).

    For me, God required a season of complete surrender – no makeup, no hair dye, nothing to hide behind. It felt like punishment at first, but it was actually preparation for something greater. He needed to heal my heart before He could entrust me with more.

    The Transformation That Changes Everything

    After about two years of this heart renovation, something beautiful emerged. I discovered that I am the beauty – not my makeup. The products didn’t make me beautiful; I was already beautiful as His daughter. This shift changed everything about how I approach beauty today.

    Now, when I apply makeup, it’s from a place of creative expression and joy, not desperate dependency. It’s about enhancing the beauty God gave me, not trying to create it from scratch. Every morning, I seek His guidance even in my beauty routine, and He’s so faithful to lead.

    A New Way Forward

    If you’re struggling with makeup dependency or feeling trapped by beauty standards, I want you to know that freedom is possible. God doesn’t want you to live in bondage to your reflection. He wants you to see yourself as He sees you – perfectly and wonderfully made.

    When your heart aligns with this truth, even your makeup routine becomes an act of worship rather than warfare. For those ready to step into this freedom while still enjoying beauty products, I’d love to share the tools that have helped me walk this balanced path.

    One of my favorites is this gorgeous bronzer collection that adds a natural, God-given “filled with His joy” glow without masking your true beauty. It’s become part of my joy-filled beauty routine, not my identity crutch.

    Remember, beloved: You are beautiful because He says you are beautiful. And He does not make mistakes.

  • The Hidden Link Between Hair Care and Self-Confidence: What Your Scalp Is Trying to Tell You

    The Hidden Link Between Hair Care and Self-Confidence: What Your Scalp Is Trying to Tell You

    Have you ever caught yourself avoiding dark clothing, constantly checking your shoulders, or feeling self-conscious in bright lighting? If persistent dandruff and dry scalp issues have been quietly eroding your confidence, you’re not alone.

    The Vicious Cycle Nobody’s Talking About

    Here’s what most hair care articles won’t tell you: The relationship between scalp health and self-confidence runs deeper than we think. When we’re constantly worried about visible flakes or an itchy scalp, we literally carry ourselves differently. We avoid close conversations, skip social events, or feel distracted during important meetings.

    But the real problem isn’t just cosmetic – it’s what this daily stress does to our overall wellbeing.

    The Science of Scalp Health: What You Need to Know

    Your scalp is actually an extension of your face’s skin, with a crucial difference: it has about 100,000 hair follicles, each with its own microbiome. When this delicate ecosystem gets disrupted, it doesn’t just cause dandruff – it triggers a cascade of issues affecting hair health, growth, and even your skin’s natural defense system.

    The Breakthrough Nobody Expected

    Recent dermatological research has revealed something fascinating: healthy scalp care isn’t about harsh treatments that strip away problems. Instead, it’s about restoring balance to your scalp’s natural environment. This explains why so many conventional treatments actually make things worse over time.

    Real Stories, Real Transformations

    Consider Brittany’s experience: “I had the worst dandruff, and after about two months of proper scalp care, I don’t have flakes showing through anymore. It’s been a complete life saver and definitely gave me a confidence boost.”

    Or take Vicki’s journey: “SMELLS AMAZING like walking through an apple orchard!!! And the crisp apple smell lasts!!! My hair also feels soft and the comb goes right through. I didn’t have as many tangles after the second time using it. – like I normally do. That will probably mean less breakage and split ends.”

    The Ripple Effect

    When women solve their scalp issues, something remarkable happens. They report feeling more present in meetings, more engaged in social situations, and more confident in their daily interactions. It’s not just about hair – it’s about reclaiming the mental energy previously spent worrying about scalp issues.

    Your Path Forward

    The solution isn’t about masking symptoms or using harsh treatments. It’s about nurturing your scalp’s natural balance while gently eliminating the root causes of dryness and flaking. When you approach scalp care this way, the results aren’t just temporary – they’re transformative.

    If you’re ready to experience what truly balanced scalp care feels like, consider trying a gentle yet effective solution that’s helping women rediscover their confidence. The Clarity Shampoo & Conditioner system has been consistently ranked among the best for delivering exceptional value, with users reporting not just cleaner hair, but a renewed sense of confidence.

    Because when you finally solve your scalp issues, you’re not just changing your hair care routine – you’re changing how you show up in the world.

    Prayer:

    A prayer for quiet time:

    O Holy Spirit of God,

    Come into my heart and fill me;

    I open the windows of my soul to let Thee in.

    I surrender my whole life to Thee;

    Come and possess me, fill me with light and truth.

    I offer to Thee the one thing I really possess, My capacity for being filled by Thee.

    Of myself I am an empty vessel.

    Fill me so that I may live the life of the Spirit,

    The life of Truth and Goodness,

    The life of Beauty and Love

    The Life of Wisdom and Strength.

    And guide me today in all things:

    Guide me to the people I should meet or help;

    To the circumstances in which I can best serve Thee,

    Whether by my actions or my sufferings.

    But above all, make Christ to be formed in me,

    That I May dethrone self in my heart, and make Him King;

    So that He is in me, and I in Him,

    Today and forever. Amen.

    Until next time faithful Mama

  • Hadassah: Beauty Oil Cleansing

    Hadassah: Beauty Oil Cleansing

    I used to wash my face with dish detergent & hand soap

    Grew up below the poverty line

    Walmart face creams were luxury

    And when you heart is hemorrhaging… and all you want to do is escape the pain… you don’t really care.

    But God.

    He saved me.

    He pulled me out of the trash heap.

    Too much is given, much is required.

    When you have been forgiven MUCH… He becomes your heart’s song

    You live for Him with your whole heart…

    Like the man of God King David…

    But that’s another story.

    Anyhow…

    I’ve been oil cleansing for 5 or 6 years.

    It’s been costly. But so worth it.

    Been using this organic oil cleanse over a year to take off my makeup and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I just finished my first bottle.

    It’s a ten. I call it my frankincense face wash. See it here.

  • Diamonds 💎 are forever…

    Diamonds 💎 are forever…

    Did you get yours?

    When I put mine on, this tool that is part of my daily war paint (makeup) application, I will remind myself…

    That I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

    That I am going to battle and I remind myself what I am fighting for. Like the book of Nehemiah “Fight. Fight for your families, your sons and daughters, your wives and your homes.”

    And the battle is won in Christ, I need only stand. 

    Look you don’t need make up to put on the mind of Christ

    Heck, you may not even wear any.

    But I pray that you do each and everyday put on the mind of Christ

    What we do on earth will echo to eternity 

    Until next time Warrior 

    PS this is a classic. They have sold out several times

    So don’t wait.
