But God, I Trusted You

Can I be transparent with you all for a moment...Have you ever been through something? I mean really been through something...I’m talking broken down, hurt, face to the ground, ugly cry, I don't know how I’m gonna get out of the bed in the morning something? Okay, Maybe YOU haven’t , but I have.

Baby I'm Back

If you stopped by anytime in the last year you may have noticed that I sort of abandoned my blog. Life got hectic, things started happening and my blog fell to the bottom of my long list of priorities.  For me blogging was my ministry, it was my way of sharing my heart with those who stopped by to read my thoughts. Just as much, it has been a ministry to myself, as I write I learn more and more about who Saprina is and I hope along the way I manage to touch, inspire, motivate someone else. So, it makes me sad to think that I allowed life to get in the way of what I feel God has called me to do.

Review: JCat Liptitude Lip Stain

They say a woman's best feature is her smile. Yet it's one part of our face we tend to neglect the most! I myself have been guilty on a regular bases of spending a good amount of time perfecting my foundation, eye, and checks yet walking out the door with nothing more than chap stick on my lips. If I do manage to put color on them you can absolutely forget about any sort of reapplying. When it comes to lip products I am absolutely a one hit wonder. 

10 Things That Will Get You Unfollowed

Instagram is currently the fastest growing social media platform. What began as a small site for sharing photos among friends has quickly grown to a community of over 300 million users. I read some where that the average person spends thirty minutes a day scrolling an Instagram time feed. For businesses and bloggers, it simply doesn't make sense for you to not be using it.

I follow a lot of blogs on Bloglovin.  Speaking of, you should probably follow mine!

Shameless plug.

Anyway, about once a week I’ll get a blog that’s something to the effect of: “Five Things to Learn About Yourself Before You Get Married.” Or, “Twenty Things That God Wants to Teach You Before You Meet Your Spouse.” Or “Three Things You Need To Start A Healthy Relationship.” Or “Thirty-Seven Voodoo Rituals That Will Get You Married in 2015.”

Okay, so I am so excited to share with you all today's review! If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed that noticed that I wear prescription glasses! And if you don't follow me on Instagram than you should be! Although you rarely see me photographed in my glasses. To be honest I think they make me look matronly.

5 Steps To Developing Your Personal Style

Let me start by saying that I never considered myself a “fashionable” person. I never really understood how to dress for my curves and until fairly recently my wardrobe typically consisted of scrubs, jeans and t-shirts. Last year I decided this was the year that I would finally dress the way I really  felt inside, and as part of my quest to figure out what being an adult really means to me. After a few months of going through my closet, lots of online searching, and too many exhausting trip to the mall to count, I’ve finally started to build a wardrobe I really love!  

Baby Got Bag: Summer Budget Friendly Bags

A new bag with a pop of color is the simplest way to update your outfit for summer.  I compiled a list of my favorite budget friendly summer bags! This list was incredibly hard to narrow down. There are so many amazing bags this season. The world of hobos, crossbody bags, totes, satchels, clutches, and shoulder bags is daunting.

Review: Regen FX Skin Care

Hello my beauties!

Today i will be talking about one of my favorite subjects...skin care! If I can be completely transparent with you all for a minutes, my skin has always been a major area of insecurity for me. I spent most of my teen years struggling with severe acne. I battled this issue well into my early twenties, and still have the occasional flair ups today. When I am not dealing with an acne flare up I’m battling the hyperpigmentation scarring it left behind. I also have issues with the overall texture of my skin, it’s just not smooth as I would like it to be. 

Why I Wake Up At 5AM

I am by nature a total morning person. My day usually begins at 5AM...generally when I tell people this I am met by blank stares of confusion followed my “why?”

The answer is simply because I enjoy a leisurely morning routine. Actually, the getting dressed process for me happens in thirty minutes or less... Today however I woke up with very little time to get ready. My alarm went off at my usual  5 am and  I kept convincing myself I could sleep for 15 more minutes. Just 15 more…and before I knew it an hour and half had passed.

DIY: Distressed Mason Jars

I recently posted a photo on Instagram of these distressed painted mason jars I made for my Mothers Day centerpieces. I got so many comments and emails of people wanting to know how I did it! Seriously guys this is the easiest DIY project ever.

Odedience Or Sacafice

Doing what God ask us shows our love for him.  John 14:15 says “if you love me, you will keep my commands.” What should motivate our submission to God’s way is our love for him. Is it possible to follow God concerning some areas of our lives and not in others?

Well imaging that your child uses profanity in school, but cleans his room, do you take joy in his  tidying his room and over look his misconduct at school? Absolutely not! I expect my child to follow my rules all the time and in all areas. Well the same goes for obeying God’s commands, he wants your full submission, your whole heart not just a piece of it. 

June Goals + A Possible Poo

I can not believe it’s June already! Where did the year go? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was setting my May goals! With June being here and summer weather upon us, my goal this month is to, stay focused on my health goals and get out of the house more!

Spring Trend Kimono Style

The Kimono is bar far my second favorite spring trend for 2015 next to the midi skirt! A printed kimono adds instant style to any outfit. It's so versatile, throw it on over a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans or rock it as a swim suit cover up!
