So, I've never been a huge fan of eyeliner. I used to wear it on my bottom water line all the time, but I haven't done that in a while.
I was watching this Youtube video of a girl I follow, and she mentioned the new Maybelline Liquid Eyeliner duo. In her review, she explained that it was easy to apply. So I was at Target one day (when am I not though :P) and I found this product for $7, which is decently priced for a makeup product in my opinion. I came home, tried it, and loved it!
It really is super easy to apply, and I've never used liquid eyeliner before. You can wear it with or without eyeshadow and it looks just fine. The consistancy of it is perfect. Not too runny but not too sticky. And, my favorite part, it stays on ALL DAY! woot!
So, if you haven't tried it, you should totally check it out!

PS: I am kinda a girly girl, so ocassionally I will post something in Just Girly Things :)
Also, I'm really interested in trying the colored eyeliners now. I'm a plain jane though... dare to be bold? haha

Water you drinking?
So, today, as I was drinking probably my 4th or 5th glass of sweet tea, I got to thinking how much I LOVE sweet tea! I'm a Southerner. Sweet tea is one of the only things I drink. I used to drink a lot of soda, but in the past couple of years, I've learned that soda just doesn't suffice when one has sweet tea! On average, my family drinks about a gallon of sweet tea per day. That being said, I have a rather large family; yet, that's still a lot! Think about how much money you would spend if you drank that much milk a day! D: Ok! Back to focus, Brittani!
So, I was sitting there thinking how about how much I love sweet tea when I realized I don't drink nearly as much water as I should. Sweet tea is my water.
I often take water for granted. It's just something that I have. Nice, fresh, clean water. Straight from the faucet. Or bottled... whatever your preference.
Ok, now let's see if you can keep up with my thought process.
1. K-Love is a radio station I listen to, and they are doing a 30 day challenge to listen to nothing but Christian music for 30 days.
2. That reminded me of the challenge Way-FM, another radio station, did to drink nothing but water for 30 days.
3. I decided that I'm gonna try really hard to almost drink nothing but water for 30 days..... almost?
well because I love sweet tea, I'm allowing myself one glass of sweet tea per week, on each Saturday.
There are so many in this world who would kill to have the water that I can so readily drink here. Yet, I treat it like it's useless because I have soooooo many other options. I really want to take this time and just remember how fortunate I am and how much God has blessed me even through drinking just a clean, fresh, cold cup of water.
So, whoever is reading this, hold me accountable! I've tried and failed before. Don't want that to happen again! :)

Who's your favorite?
Carrie Underwood....
I would say, "If you've never heard her, go listen to her!", but there's a high chance that most people have heard her because she's pretty darn awesome!
Why do I like Carrie Underwood?
A. She has an amazing voice! 4th season winner of American Idol! She rocked that show from the beginning!
B. Her lyrics are, for the most part, meaningful and not stupid.
C. I like her genre of music!
I have yet to hear a song by her that I don't like. And I have her as a Pandora station, so I hear lots of new songs I've never heard by her! I've been listening to her since I was maybe fourteen!
Lately, a few of my favorite songs by her are the following:
Blown Away
Temporary Home
Cowboy Casonova
Look at Me
So just a little insight about me! :)
If you haven't listened to her much, you should totally check her out! :)

Unconditional Love
"I am the thorn in Your crown, but You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow, but You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist, but You love me anyway
I am Judas's kiss, but You love me anyway"
These are lyrics to one of my favorite songs, You Love Me Anyway by Sidewalk Prophets. I heard this song on my way home from work this evening, and this song just always reminds me of the love that God has for me. I'm not, in any way, perfect. I screw up. My thoughts aren't always pleasing to God. I don't always share the love of God. I've turned my back on God and told him I was done. Even with all the disrespect I've shown Him, he stills loves me? That's something that I will never understand, but it's awesome!!! God showers me with new mercies each morning no matter what I've done the day before. I know that I serve a God of forgiveness! There's nothing that I can do or anyone can do that can take away the love of God because Our God is just that AWESOME!! God promises to NEVER leave me nor forsake me... and God doesn't break His promises :) (He's a promise maker, not a promise breaker. I know: corny, but hey! what can I say? haha :P)
To end, I'll share a verse that just came to me, but that I studied at Passion with my awesome family group :)
Ephesians 3: 17-19 (ESV)
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith -- that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
And that last part gets me every time. "That you may be filled with the fullness of God." Am I even worthy of that? By all means, NO! But God loves me just that much :)
