There are Times it is Nearly Impossible to Believe God Has Purpose for Us. We Get So Intrenched in All Our Problems, "Flaws", Mistakes, etc. That it Becomes Too Fogged Up to See Clearly. All if Those "Negatives" Along w All Your Positives are Something the Lord Has Use For. We Might Not See it Now, but One Day We Will. So, Continue On in Boldly Being Uniquely You! The World Needs Ya.....Kinda Like a Super Hero....My Bat Signal Would Probably be in the Shape of a Unicorn.....Probably. What About Yours?!
Remember that Fun Green & Gold fr Fall?! Perfect for the Holiday Season as Well. Leave Off the Deep Brown Shadows, Replace w Bronze-ish Colors. I Used @elfcosmetics #LiquidShadow in Bronze as My Base. Added @tartecosmetics bronze on the Outer Side of the Eye and Highlight w That Gold Shimmer On the Inner Part of the Lid. Then Finish w the Pop of Holiday Color in the @maybelline Green #LiquidEyeliner. Perfectly Festive w/o Being Too Over the Top. I Lined My Bottom Water Line w a Brown Pencil Liner & Used @tartecosmetics #LightsCameraLashes#Mascara. The Sun Was Really Helping Me Out w My Shimmer Factor on This One! Happy Holiday Glam!!
And With Sugar Plumb Fairies Dancing Through Their......On Their Lips, I Edited it a Bit. Plumb is a Perfectly Acceptable & Festive Alternative to Holiday Red if You're Looking for One! Pictured is a Matte Plumb Lip Stick by @Clinique. If You Rather Go Drug Store Brand @revlon Has a Great Plumb called #Twilight, in Their HD Collection. It isn't Matte, but I Wouldn't Consider it High Shine Either. I Have Both & I Love Both! Also, Lipstick is a Great Stocking Stuffer! Happy Holiday Glam-ing!!
By Now Most if Not All of You Have Seen the Heart Wrenching Video of Keaton Shared by His Mother to Socials. How Anyone Watches it & Doesn't Have a Broken Heart After I'll Not Understand. People are Cruel. I say People b/c I Don't Believe it is Limited to Children in Lunch Rooms. We See it Here on Socials Daily. A Person, A Group of People, Gang Up on One Person or in Response to Being the One Trolled They Fight Back w Similar Weapons. Something that Struck Me in Keaton's Vid was His Statement That He Doesn't Like the Bullies Being Mean to Him & He Sure Doesn't Think its O.K. For It to be Done to Other Classmates. Here He Sits Broken Hearted & Beat Down, but Still He Considers What His Fellow Bullied Feel. Amazing! True Testament to His Young Heart!!
My Hope is We All Hear This Story of Keaton's & Not Only Correct/Inform/Etc. the Children w/i Our Reach of Influence, but Also Hold One Another Accountable. If it Isn't O.K. For a Kid in a Lunch Room it Isn't O.K. on Someone's Page. Make Sense?! It's Either Always O.K. Or NEVER O.K., When it Comes to Burdened Hearts There is No In-between. I Say it Again, Socials are What You Make Them. Use Yours for Good not Hate! Take a Moment Before Responding to Trolls, Haters, Etc. & Consider How They Must Be Livin' for Online Hate to be Their Entertainment. We Aren't Born Bullies, Bully Behavior is Learned. Before You Rare Back to Return a Punch, Take a Second to Consider the Fact That Hurt People, Hurt People.

Thinking on #GrammyGlam This Chilly Evening. Thought I Might Do a Little Virtual Styling. The First Gown is @marchesafashion & is Giving Us a Ton of Art Deco Cleopatra Glamour!! I Could Totally See Someone Tall & Statuesque Like #NicoleKidman Rocking it While Supporting Her Man @keithurban Who is Nominated This Year. The Second Dress is @versace_official & While She Tends to Lean Towards Edgier, Teetering w Masculine/Feminine Looks, I Could See @pink OWNING This Dress on the Carpet!! She Has a Fit Bod & Has Never Shied Away fr Showing Some Skin. I Think the Colors on This Dress w The Current Color of Her Hair Would Just Work!! But, it May Be Too, Too for Her Style.
The @recordingacademy are a Unpredictable Red Carpet. Everything from Super Casual, to Over the Top Costumes ala Lady Gaga, and the In between Tends to Be The More Classic Looks Which Can Get Passed Over Cause of Things Like Latex Dresses or a Person Arriving in a Egg. Anyway, I Look Forward to See This Years Fashion Offerings.
This Deep Burgundy @zacposen is At First Sight More of a #Oscar Dress, but w its Deep Color & Sharp Bust Line I Think w the Proper Artist it Very Much Could be a #Grammy Gown. Off Hand I Could See @kelseaballerini Changing Up Her Style a Bit & Rocking This Kelsea has Worn Posen in the Past & was Even His Guest to a Fashion Event in Nashville
So, I Don't Think its a Unrealistic Possibility.
Second is @oscardelarenta W a White & Black or Deep Navy Bird Motifs
that Again, on the Proper Person Could be Very Grammy Appropriate.
Perhaps #MileyCyrus as She's Been Upping Her Glam Game as of Late, or Even a @gwenstefani Would Own a Print Like this at the #Grammys! We Shall See!
Holidays are a Fun Time to Try New Things Like Red Shimmer Shadow, Metallic Lip Color, etc. However, if That isn't Your Speed a Sharp, Liquid, Black Eye Line & Shimmery Nude Lip are a Solid Staple Any Time of Year. Don't Feel Like You Have to Go Bold to Be Different. The Most Important Thing is That YOU Like & are Comfortable w How You Look!! Happy Weekend Glam-ming!!
If You Aren't Feeling the Boldness of a Holiday Red You Can Choose a Deep Magenta/Pink & Be Just as Festive!! Pictured is @hardcandylife #MetallicMousse in #QueenOfHearts & I LOVE IT!!!! #HardCandy is Becoming on of My Favorite Go To's for Lip Color. Affordable, Wide Range of Colors, Liquid & Stick Forms. Got Mine @walmart This Summer for Around $5.00-$6ish Give or Take. Color is Currently Still Avail. Happy Holiday Glam-ing!!
As I mentioned in the last New Music Monday post, #NMM is technically on Christmas Break. However, there is a chance we simply love you and music too much to completely ghost you this holiday season. So, if you follow me on Instagram, @StacieTennessee you will be able to catch my #QuickPosts. Quick Posts will highlight one artist, band, record, song instead of the normal #NMM which highlights several. So, that said, this week my quick posts belonged to Cam and Maggie Rose. Why these tunes aren't being played non-stop on radio I will NEVER understand. Give them a listen and request with your local radio!!
