I had awful acne as a teen. I mean really awful sometimes I didnt even want to leave the house. Thankfully when I reached my 20s my skin cleared up. For the most part. Im 26 now and have oily skin, and I still break out now and then. Totally unfair, you know. I would have thought I had paid my dues as a teen. 😉 When I was given the opportunity through BzzAgent to try the Burts Bees Natural Acne Solutions products, I agreed wholeheartedly and with much excitement for two reasons: 1) I absolutely love Burts Bees products! Ive used their eye gel (for dark circles) and their baby products and it is just the best stuff ever. I. Love. Burts. Bees. 2) I wanted the chance to try a natural acne treatment I figured that if anyone could create a natural acne treatment that really worked, it…

Guardian of the Flameby T.L. HigleyB&H Books (October, 2009) Book Review: Review coming soon! Im not quite finished with this yet but so far its excellent. And I loved the book before it, so I anticipate it will be a great read. 🙂 AND NOWTHE FIRST CHAPTER: Alexandria, Egypt 48 B.C. Sophia pressed her forehead against the chilled window glass of her private chamber and tried to capture a glimpse of life, far below and out of reach. The harbor, more than one hundred cubits down, churned with boats whose sails flapped in the dying sun like the scales of white fish, and with ant-sized servants who scurried to deliver supplies to her lighthouse before its Keeper punished them for their delay. On a white-cushioned couch behind her, one of Euripidess plays called for her return to its lines of tragedy. She resisted. The words had already bled into her…
Fear Not Tomorrow, God is Already There: Trusting Him in Uncertain Timesby Ruth GrahamHoward Books (September, 2009)My Rating: (5/5) This was my first book by Ruth Graham, Billy Grahams daughter, and I was so impressed. Its like having a conversation with this wonderful woman she is so encouraging. She lifts up, and she cares about people. Ruth has been through hard times, like most of us, and is able to share what she has learned in the pages of Fear Not Tomorrow, God is Already There. The inside cover explains best that this book is not about overcoming your shortcomings to build a better you it is about discovering that God is worthy of our trust. That is what I love about this book. Ruth points us straight to scripture and shows us that God can be trusted fully and completely. She is humble, easy to follow, and uses scripture…
