We wanted to do something fun at the end of the month. One of us ladies will share some favorites for the month or we might either reflect for the month. It’s not set in stone. Each of us have a different writing style. I know for myself, I have to do something different to get my creative juices flowing again. Today I’m sharing some of my favorites things from this month.
February has been a great month. Can you believe that March is in 5 days? Yeah, me either. This month consisted of a lot of Jesus Culture – especially their new album “Let it Echo“. I couldn’t tell you a favorite song from their album because I love it all. I listened to it 3x in a row. It got better every time. I’ve tweeted lyrics. Shared their clips on Facebook. Sat in my bathroom & worshipped. It’s been good.
Where have I been listening to their album from? Spotify, of course. When people tell me they use Pandora and have never heard of Spotify, I gasp. “You don’t use Spotify?! Oh, we are changing that.” If you haven’t heard of Spotify, let me introduce this great service. Spotify is a way to stream music. You can download the App on your phone or download the program on your computer. You can create playlists. Listen to whole albums. You can check out what your friends are listening to. There is a free version and a paid version – Spotify Premium. I’ve discovered a lot of new music from Spotify & the playlists they have created. You can listen to books on there, as well as learn a new language.
IF:Gathering. Wow. What an amazing gathering. This is their mission: We exist to gather, equip and unleash the next generation of women to live out their purpose. I rounded up a group of girls from my home town and we spent most of our weekend relaxing on couches live streaming the event happening in Austin, Texas. David Platt, Jo Saxton, Angie Smith, Eugene Cho, Jennie Allen, Sweet Maria Goff….the list goes on and on. If you haven’t heard of IF, well check them out – click here. You can purchase this years gathering, too – click here! Their leaders are some of my unofficial mentors. These women can passionately preach the Word. I want to be just like them. I love IF.
The last thing I’ve been loving, which has been every month, is Benefit’s “They’re Real” mascara. I’ve very picky about mascara. Many mascaras lie to me. They may do 1/3 things that they advertise. I love this mascara because it does curl my lashes, as well as lengthen. There is volume and lift – it’s amazing. People have asked if I’m wearing fake lashes or if it’s my lashes. I proudly tell them I’m not wearing fake lashes. Now, let me explain. My lashes don’t have a fake look. When people ask, they are just surprised that lashes can look like this. I’m a big fan of the formula. Go ahead, buy yourself a tube – click here.
