~ July 6th, 2018 ~ a Note from Stacie ~ @StacieTennessee ~

Image may contain: text
 
 
Hell-o Dear Family, Friends & Followers!! It's been some time since I've had a moment to write a proper post, much less address you directly. Since the Fall my world has been a tad turned on it's axis and I've been struggling to find a balance ever since. Due to this wobbling The Faith Journals have been neglected and I'm unsure that will be changing anytime soon. Well, at least not in the way I would prefer.
 
I've managed to keep up with insta posts via socials for New Music Monday, Glam Bag, DIY as well as Insta Blogs. So, if you don't follow & would like to, head over to Instagram and find @StacieTennessee for those quick posts.
 
I have much I want to research, write, share, etc. , but I know that right now the Lord has ministry for me in other places and I want to do my best to remain as focused on that as possible. I appreciate those of you who continue to follow/read and I hope to return to our regularly scheduled blogging eventually. Until then, know that I appreciate you, pray for you, and I am doing quick posts via m'insta!! Instagram is a on-the-go friendly forum and make my quick posts possible in rare down time moments.
 
I would appreciate your continued prayers.
Please do check back now and then as I will do my best to update images/info fr Insta to here. See you soon!!
 
In His Service and Love ~
Stacie

#GlamBag #GOTD (Glam of the Day) ~ Was Feeling a Summer Bronze, but Not “Bronzer” Look Today. So, I Used the #Tarte #MakeBelieveInYourself Palette & the #TooFaced #LoveLight Highlighter in #YouLightUpMyLife as the Basis for the Look. Here are the Other Products Used, for Specific Colors, etc. Feel Free to DM or Comment!

#GlamBagSeasons ~ I Was All About a Deep Purple in the Fall & Now That Summer Has Rolled Around I May Be All About a Lavender-esq Purple. Here I Used @wetnwildbeauty #Highlighter in #RoyalCalyx as Shadow. I Wanna Call it Moon Dust, but I Wasn’t Consulted on the Naming, So. Bottom Lash Line is @hardcandylife #StrokeOfGorgeous Pencil Liner in #TwistedGrape. Top Liner is @maybelline #MasterPreciseInk Liquid Liner in #CosmicPurple. Side Note: Lippie is @covergirl in #KittyKarma fr the #KatyPerry Collection. ~ Whats Your Summer Go-To Color?! Does it Change Up? Feel Free to Share in Comments or DM!

My Alone/Quiet Time Hasn’t Been at My “Usual” Pace for Some Time Now. As Much as I Dislike Schedules I am in Fact a Creature of Habit & w This Eb & Flow of My Time I Have Felt Thrown Off. But. But! But, That’s OK b/c I Know the Things the Lord Has Had for Me These Past Months Have Been Very Specifically Sent to Me, By Him. In Every Moment that I Wanna Give Up He Lovingly Reminds Me in Some Heavenly Way That He See’s Me, is With Me in This, Has Prepared Me For it & When the Time Comes He Will Have Prepared Me for Whatever is Next....in Due Time. I Love Finishing a Journal & I Love Starting a New One. A Physical Reminder of ALL God Has Done & a Physical Reminder of All He Has Yet to Do. Today I Started a New Journal Given to Me for Christmas fr Some Dear Friends That Have Had a Heavy Load of Their Own to Carry. I’ll Think of Them & Pray for Them as They Find a New “Normal”, When I Use This Journal. See, We Don’t Really Travel This Journey Alone. Some are Further Ahead, Some Have Stopped for Water, Some are a Few Steps Back & Some are Still Standing at the Entrance Deciding if This is a Journey They Can Handle. As You Battle for Your Quiet Alone Time, Prayer Time, Time in the Word Take a Look Around b/c You Might Not Pass This Way Again. ~ Job 41:8 Lay Your Hands on Him; Remember the Battle - You Will Not Do It Again! ~ #Sabbath ~

The Eyes Have It ~ #GlamBagMustHaves ~ There are Few Products That I am Fiercely Loyal To. Here are Several, 1. @lorealmakeup #Voluminous #Mascara & I Just Added the Primer Base Coat As Well & Can Tell a Difference. I Have Very Fair Lashes w/o Mascara I Don’t Look Like I Have Any. So the Addition of the Base Coat Has Made Them Appear More Lush. 2. I Also Use @tartecosmetics #ManEater Liquid Liner on My Top Line. Today I Added a Line of Blue fr the @lorealmakeup #Paints Collection to Add Some Spunk. On Days When I Add a Pop of Color via #EyeLiner I Don’t Use Much Shadow. 3. & 4. Pictured is @elfcosmetics #BakedHighlighter in #MoonlightPearls w @wetnwildbeauty #Highlighter in #BlossomGlow as Eye Shadows. They Just Enough That My Lids Aren’t Naked, but Not So Much That it Feels Full Glam. 5. My Bottom Water Line is @elfcosmetics #Pencil EyeLiner in a Black Shimmer. ~ What are Your Must Haves?! ~

 #NewMusicMonday Doesn’t Have a Ton to Say About the @cmt Awards. One Thing That Does Deserve to be Highlighted is FINALLY Having a Proper Host....er...Hosts as it Were. @littlebigtown Have Hosted & Presented Their Fair Share So, Not Only are They Genre/Fan Appropriate They Actually Know What They’re Doing. Kudos #CMTAwards for Inviting #LBT to Host the 2018 Awards!! They Did an Amazing Job!! Would Live to See Them Again Next Year! But if Not Maybe @mrbobbybones & @laurenalaina, @raelynnofficial & @blakeshelton or @thomasrhettakins & @kelseaballerini Since They do the Concert as Well?! Just Some Thinking Out Loud. Congrats #CMTAward Winners & #LittleBigTown on Hosting Duties!!

#GlamBags Fave Look of the Night At the #BBMAs was a Toss between @marenmorris & Host, @kellyclarkson in @csiriano . I Believe All Six Looks for Clarkson Were Custom Siriano & Girl Rocked Them. While I Adored Marens Looks, I’ve Been a Kelly Fan Since the “Cool Beans” Days of Season One @americanidol & I Enjoy Seeing Her Get Opportunities Like @nbcthevoice & Host of the @billboard Awards. So, This One Goes to Kelly. But it Was a Wicked Close Call. Obviously, I Am Gonna Love an All Sequin Suit, I Mean, #AllSparkleEveryThang !!!!! Who’s Look Did You Like? Any Surprises ?!

This Hurts #GlamBag More Than it Does You, but My Least Fave Look fr the #BBMA #RedCarpet was #Jlo. Sister Gets it Right So Often it Took the Entire Day for Me to Accept She Got it Wrong. Too Many Textures, Not Season Appropriate (Should’ve Been Saved for Fall), Too Tame for @billboard Awards, Heck! Too Tame for Ms. Lopez!!!! Thoughts? Who Got Your Attention ? Was it for Good Glam or Bad?!

I Was Hesitant to Join the Tassel Earring Trend, but for $1.00 it Was Worth a Try. Wouldn’t Ya Know?!?! Loved It!! Super Cute Pop of Color for the Summer. I Love Cruising the Jewelry Sections in Stores Like @walmart & @target for #Clearance Treasures. I Often Find Great Accessories for Gifts as Well as That One Perfect Accessory Needed to Finish a Look For Myself. To Mak...e it Even Better the Prices are Hard to Beat. I Have Noticed that #Walmart has a Quick Turn Over for When Accessories Go fr “Regular” Price to Being Discounted & Clearance. The Extremely Low Price Makes Any Mishaps, Losses, Trend Hits/Misses, etc. Not a Real Financial Risk. What are You Looking to Add to Your Summer Glam?! Have You Tried the Tassel Earring Trend Yet?!

 #GlamBagDealsAndSteals ?! Its a Clearance Accessory Cornucopia!!!! I Would Like to Be Patted on the Head for Resisting This Time. I Didn’t Know I Had That Kind of Will Power. If You’re Looking for Some Inexpensive, on Trend, Pops of Color for Your Summer Glam I Recommend These Deals at @walmart !! They Also Could be a Fun Addition to a End of Year Teacher Gift, Grad Gift or Summer Bday!

There is a Reason it is Called a “Family Tree” & Not a Family Field, Bushel, Flower or Cactus....Though Sometimes it May Feel More Like a Cactus Than Anything Else, lol! I’ll Be the First to Say Mine Produces a Majority of Fruits & Nutt’s (written w nothing but affection ). Myself the Nuttiest Fruit of Them All, but When I Find Myself Out On a Limb I Know There’s A Branch Above Me to Hold On To & One Below Me to Catch Me if I Fall. Today Was a Reach for the Branches Kind of Day & I Am Grateful for My Tree. The Branches I Was Born into & the Branches I Attached by Choice.

I Feel Like the Lord Has Been Putting A Lot in My Face Lately. Like at the Tip of Your Nose, Look at This, Blinking Neon. Its Annoying. Its Especially Annoying When Every Part of Me is Tired, but My Heart & Mind Especially. As I Age I Realize it’s O.K. To Let Go of Certain Relationships. Some are Only Meant for a Season & That is O.K. As I Find Myself in Need of Prayer I Have a Solid Group of Sp...ectacular Humans to Reach Out to Who Allow Me to Speak as I Speak & Feel as I Feel & They Love Me Anyway. These Relationships Happened Over Time. Some Life Lived, Some Places Traveled, Some Hearts Broken, Some Things/People/Jobs Lost, & Many Many Many Miles Between Some of Us, but Still They are Good Stewards of Me & I Pray I Am of Them. Praise the Lord Today for the Folks You Got to Choose!! Thank You My Friends/Family/Followers Who Choose Me & are Good Stewards of Me. Phil. 1:3 I Thank My God Every Time I Remember You.

Its Nearing That Time of Year Where Classes, Schedules, Practices, & Everything is Winding Down. When I Worked at a University it was Around this Time I Would Give My Students a Few Blank Cards & Encourage Them to Write a Sincere Thank You to Someone They Never Would Have Survived the Year w/o, That Perhaps Has Absolutely No Idea How Vital They Were to That Students Survival. I’ve Been Thinking A Lot on #GirlPower Lately & Where Our Confidence Comes From, Where Our Insecurities Come From, Why We Can’t Seem to Speak to Another’s Beauty, Smarts, Grace, etc W/O Questioning Our Own. So, for #WCW Consider This My Handing You a Few Blank Cards. I Wanna Encourage You to Speak Encouragement & Gratitude Into Someone Else’s Life. You Never Know Just How Desperately They May Be Needing Those Words of Affirmation. How Many Times a Day Do We Whisper to Ourselves We Wanna Give Up or Quit?! Those Words May Be Someones Saving Grace for the Day. I

I Have a #LipGloss or #Chapstick In Every Room of My House, in My Car & Purse. I’m a Tad Lip Obsessed You Could Say. With Age However I Have Fallen in Love w Lipsticks & Lip Colors. I Always Considered Them a Grandma Kind of Thing & I Honestly Have No Idea Why, LoL!! Anyway, in The Last Decade I’ve Grown to Love & Appreciate Some Fierce & Bold Color on the Lips!! I Mean, the Only Dif in these Tw...o Pics is Lipstick & What a Difference it Makes for All the Other Colors on My Face!! Makes My Eye Liner Pop, My Mascara Seem Darker, etc. Don’t Get it Twisted I Love a Nude or Muted Lip as Well, Everything in Proper Portion. As You Prepare for Your Friday Night Glam Perhaps Test Drive a Bold Lip. Ya Never Know Who Might Notice!!

You’ve Probably Seen Them All Over Celebrity Socials Pre Red Carpet if You Follow That Kind of Thing....Which I Do. This Lip Mask Can Be Found @walmart, is a One Time Use Product & Cost Under $3. You Wear it for 15 ish Minutes and After Rub Left Over Product Into Skin/Lips. IDK I Noticed Much of Anything Impressive. There are a Variety of Brands & I’m Curious ...About Them All. For the Moment the @sooae.official Didn’t Move Me. It Reminded Me of These Gummy Candy Lips My Mamaw Would Get Me fr the Grocery Store She Worked at When I Was Little. It Even Smelled Like the Candy, I Didn’t Try to Eat it, but it Did Bring Back Memories. I Digress...... Oh The Things We Do for Glam.

I May Be the Only One, but I Read the Books Inside a CD. I Read the Names of the Creative Souls that Made These Tunes That Will Soundtrack Parts of My Life. I Read the Thank You’s, the Vision, the Artists Last Words for the Project as They Let It Out Their Fingers & Hand it Over for Printing & Then I Cry. I Cry for the Joy They Must Feel Having Accomplished This Task. I Cry for the Nerves They Must Feel Awaiting the Worlds Feedback on Their Hearts Sacrifice. Because the Lyrics Say Everything I’m Thinking. Cause the Melodies are Perfect.
 
I Cry b/c the One Pictured Here is Female & Radio Will More Than Likely Not Give Her the Air Time She Deserves. I Cry b/c the One Pictures isn’t “traditional” Country & So Some Will Automatically Snub It, They Will Also Miss Out On Some if the Most Celestial Sounds Ever Tracked, but I Digress. I Cry b/c @spaceykacey Is Only One of Many Female Artists Not Getting the Air Time They Deserve!! I Cry b/c as a “Fan” My Voice Seems SO Impossibly Small!!!!
 
These Days the #Outlaws of Country are #Female!! They are the BA’s Ruffling Feathers, Marching to Their Own Beat, Making Music by Their Own Rules via Outlets Like Social Media, Kick Starter, Etc. & They are Making GOOD Music!! It isn’t About One of Them Getting to “the top”, it’s About ALL of Them Getting to the Top!!!! Request Female Artists, Download/Stream Female Artists, Buy in Store & On Line fr Female Artists!! As Females We Aren’t Interested in Doing What a Man Can Do & Doing it Better, We Want to Do What a Man Can’t!!!
