Deuteronomy 6:5

Hey there, bloggers! 

Today's verse is Deuteronomy 6:5. I chose this verse mainly because we studied it in youth group last night and I thought I would just expand my thoughts of it here on my blog! :)

Here's how it goes:

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."

I truly believe that by doing this we can strengthen our relationship with Him and with others! 

Love God with everything that's in you. He deserves it after all He's done for us. Coming and dying on the cross for us is the best thing anyone could ever do for us. He forgave all of our sins. Past ones, present ones, and even the sins we will commit in the future. 

It's mind-blowing to know that God knows everything we have ever done, what we are doing now, and even what we will do in the future! 

Sin is a serious thing. (And I know I'm going off on a billion of rabbit trails, but there's a point to them all. I think. Lol ;)

The other night I went to the VBS at our church. My sister brought a couple of her little girl neighbor friends with her and I heard that they had a blast while there! :) 

But, at the end of the night I went up to them and asked them what they had learned tonight. My little sister Addy said she learned that sin is something that everyone does and sometimes you sin even when you don't think you are. Her other friend Kamille (who is somewhat churched, but not normally. Only on occasions.) said the typical thing you learn at VBS. That Jesus loves you. And I know it's true, but I just wished that she had gotten more out of the study that night than just 'Jesus loves you', you know? Then comes my sister's other friend, Amber. She is almost 6 years old and doesnt (well, didn't) know what a Bible was, or what sin was. After the VBS night was over, she asked me what sin was and what it meant to sin. 

To tell you the honest truth, I had never been asked that before. It broke my heart to hear that come from her (much less, anyone else). So, the other night my little sister had a sleepover with all her little neighborhood girlies and I sat them down for a little bit to talk to them some about Christ and how much He loves them and what He came to do for us. :) 

It also broke my heart to hear some of them say, while in Bible study time, "This is torture. I can't take it anymore." I couldn't believe my ears! What I was hearing come from their mouths just tore me apart. Truthfully, it made me cry. Seeing some of them not even want to hear about the Gospel or just how much they are loved by Him. 

But, eventually some of them started asking questions about Heaven and Hell and if they would see their grandparents there (in Heaven), and what Heaven and Hell was like. So, knowing that they are too little to be told what Hell is like, I just decided to tell them all the pleasures of Heaven and what all fun we would have when we get there! 

That's when the Bible time led to question time to two of my sister's friends wanting me to read them Genesis 1. The story of Creation. That's when my heart started jumping at the sign of taking interest to the Word and how we came to be and all the animals and trees and plants and such. 

We didn't get to pray before bed like I wanted to with them, but we sure did have a lot of fun learning about God's Creation and love for us! 

It blesses me to know that they now have some interest in God's Word and to know that I can be that someone for them to come to at anytime to talk about anything they want to! :) 

My prayer is for them to realize what God has done for them and how much He loves them. Eventually for them to become saved, born again Christians! I have super high hopes for these girls! 

Anywho, thanks for reading this extremely long post! You all mean so much to me! :) I love all my little follower friends! 

I thank the Lord everyday for every chance I get to witness for HIS kingdom! :)

That's all for now, and don't forget today's verse. Deuteronomy 6:5! :)

Have a great day in the Lord! 

{BTW, there is not going to be a random picture today. My computer isn't working that well and I was having some "technical difficulties" earlier. Thanks for understanding. It's nothing, really. I was just apologizing. You all rock!} 

1 Thessalonians 5:5

Hey guys. Another scripture post for ya today! :)

Today I chose 1 Thessalonians 5:5. 

It says:

"You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do NOT belong to the night or to the darkness."

This just made me think that if we are in God, then we belong in Him. We ARE His! Doesn't that make you feel special and loved? I know I feel that way! :)

God loves us no matter what! ---> Something we went over in VBS last night. He will never leave us nor forsake us! That's just wonderful!

If we're saved, we aren't owned by the devil! God owns our hearts and we are totally and completely safe! Wow! What assurance! :)

God loves all of us, each the same! More than anything in the world, universe, and beyond that! I don't know about you, but that makes me feel great! 

Well, that's it for today... But Im not forgetting the random picture! Here ya go:

Ok, so I know you're probably thinking "What they heck, Kaela?! Why this picture?" 

Well, I really only like this picture for the lighting. How it's kind of spotted over the rocks and some places are dark. Ignore me, lol.

 This was taken in the Smokey Mountains on a vacation we had this year. It was really fun! I think I'll do the next post on my trip there. :)

What do you think? 

Galatians 1:10

Hey you guys! 

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a while. 

I'm not sure what's wrong with me.. 

I may be suffering from writer's block, or something. :(

Anyways, I've had a verse laid on my heart recently, and I felt like I needed to share it with you all!

It's Galatians 1:10. It goes like this:

"Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant."

I really like that verse because I feel like I can apply it to my own life. 

Mostly because I can try to find my security or pride in people, and what they do for me. 

Or, what I do for them. Doing things for people just to fit in, or to feel loved or good is the wrong way to go in life. 

Find your security and love within Christ! He loves you more than anyone will ever love you! 

*ques John 3:16:*

"For God so loved(s) the world that He gave his only Son. That whoever believes in Him, shall not die, but live eternally!"

Pleasing people can bring you to places you never wanted to be.

Trust me, I've been there.

Fitting in isn't worth it! 

God will never leave you or abandon you, even in the hard times when you feel like no one is listening.

Trust me, I've been there too. 

So, I hope this post has encouraged you folks to get out there and make a difference somehow. 

It's as easy as telling someone that Jesus loves them. It makes me feel good to hear it, I know someone is out there needing this message right now, too. 

Inspiration is everywhere! Go find yourself some! :)

funny photo of the day:

I love it! It's so cute! ;)

   

Majesty Academy Formal!

Hey you guys! 

Wow! I need to start posting more! I kind of knew that whenever I started blogging I wouldn't be true to it! 

Well, like, all the time. Like you all are! I wish {I really wish} I had the time you all have to post! But, sadly, I do not. :(

So, now, right now in this moment, I have time to post! :) 

This makes me happy! Haha

Anyways, I actually have something to post about today! 

It's about the formal we had at school a couple weeks ago. I know, I know, I'm just a little late.. But, this is totally something worthy of posting about. 

OK, here it goes..

So, first of all, I want to show you a picture of me in my dress! 

{this is not my photo, well, kinda.. It's off of my Facebook}

And me and my whole high school. Yes, whole. Lol

{ok, this one is NOT my photo. Although I was tagged in it on my Facebook profile}

There's only, like, 30 or 35 of us in the whole high school. Weird, huh? lol

Next, here's us girls. :)

{Facebook picture, again}

Yes, that's all the girls in the high school besides a few of us. Tehe

Now for all of us being goofy!

{Facebook picture}

Now, here's my friend from school (and church), Bethany!

{Facebook picture}

I love this girl to pieces! :) <3

Here was my "escort", Jesse! :)

{Facebook picture}

Jesse's just as sweet as pumpkin pie! ;) Haha

Well, that's the last of 'em! I hope you liked the pictures! :)

By the way, the ones with the logo "Green Photography" on them are taken by my friend Heather Green! Check out her photography page. If you have a Facebook, her page is called Green Photography. And maybe if you go on my profile, you could look her up, but I'm not sure that it's on there. No promises. Lol! ;) By the way, the picture for her page has a picture of a girl with only part of her dress and her cowboy boots showing. It's actually a very good picture with excellent quality! :) Check her out! I'm sure she'll appreciate it! 

Anyways, we had so much fun that night! 

First, when we got there, the first ten of us (that arrived) piled into a limo and rode a couple blocks around the school. You see, the only reason we rode in one is because the owner of our school (who just so happens to be my Literature teacher, as well) wanted that night to be extra special for us. So, just so we could say we rode in a limo, we rode in a limo. Lol!
Great stuff, right? Ha!

Then, after everyone got out of the limo we all (the three girls that were in the limo, anyways... which included my friends Laura Owens, Heather Green, and myself) were escorted by two of the boys that got out of the limo before us. One of them being sweetie pie, Jesse (he's a sophomore, by the way). And the other being a senior in our school named Justin. They're both real sweeties, too!

Then we all (the whole high school, yet again) enjoyed the wonderful Majesty Academy Awards Ceremony. (: Which is just where we handed out different awards for different people. That's all of that. Haha!

Next we all went to two different after parties. One at Jesse's house, and one at Bethany's house. They were both super fun!
I cant wait until next year's formal! Next year I'll be a sophomore! Yippee! Next year I'll dress up more, too! I felt so under-dressed! All the other girls were so dressed up! I can't believe how beautiful they all were!

Anyways, if you have any "prom" or "formal" or even "dance" memories feel free to share them with me! I'd be totally enthused to read them! Lol

Thanks for reading, and I promise I'll be updating more than usual. I'm just as busy as a bee! :( Oh well! I'll find the time eventually!

(:

WoW!

Oh My Goodness, you guys! 

I cannot believe I like totally and completely left you all there for like a month! LOL! 

I feel so so SO SO bad! I mean, I kind of just forgot about my blog! 

WOW!

And just to keep you on guard, I might do that again... 

I'm not that great with keeping up with things. Just a confession.

;)

So, since I missed the end of my own photo contest I thought I might as well tell the winner now!

But, I do have some bad news...

Unfortunately, I have no prize or gift for the winner. 

I know what you're thinking...

"Kaela, you're so dumb! Why didn't you prepare anything? That's just stupid. Thanks a lot!"

And I do deserve every bit of that criticism, but alas, I am new at this and didn't really know what to do about giving out a prize.

Maybe next time I'll find some sort of prize to give out! :)

OK, now back to the photo contest!

Thanks to everyone who entered! 

I enjoyed looking at each and every one of your pictures! 

[Oh, and the reason I couldn't do 1st, 2nd and 3rd place is because I felt that there weren't enough contestants to do that. Sorry about that. I also thought 'what's the purpose anyways? I'm not giving out anything.' So, I am very sorry. Bummer, right? lol] 

And honestly, it was really hard to choose! 

But (at last!) I came to a decision!........

~~~~~

*says in one of those wrestler referee/announcer voices*

"Its down to the nitty gritty here.

Only one can win,

but who will it be?"

-Drum Roll Please-

*brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm* <----drum sound (lol :p)

The winner is nzkiwigirl @ Yours Truly

See the photo she entered here 

I love this photo because:

1} its simple. 

Shes just laying there. In the norm.

You have no idea how much I love simple things! :)

2} its pretty.

She is pretty. The way the light hits in the picture is just fabulous! 

Love Love Love!

3} its "Simply Chic In Those Sun-G's" Photo Contest winning worthy! lol

Its just what I was looking for! 

Beauty in a picture.(:

Well, now that its over.. I feel really super terribly bad that I have nothing to give to the amazing, prize-worthy winner! 

 *cries*

Is this really worth crying over? 

Hmm...
Haha, anyways..

But really, I feel bad. 

I wish there were something I could do. 

Oh well. There's always next time, right?
I'm so so sorry! :( 

Thank you, again, to all that entered! 

I hope each of you had fun being creative and wearing your most beautiful smile in the pictures! 

I love you, bloggy friends! ;)

~~~~~

So, I had something else to tell you all, but I forgot...

*thinks really hard. so deeply that it causes pain.*

I remember now! 

Just the other day I was browsing around on iTunes and I found the most amazing singers eVeR!

Wanna know who they are?

Oh, you don't?

Well, too bad! Lol :P

The first is called Adele. My favorite song by her is called Rolling In The Deep! Its so, so, African sounding! Its cool! ;) She has the most amazing/incredible/unique voice Ive ever heard. Its actually really really good! You should try her out! 

Next is Natalie Taylor. My favorite song by her is called Its Okay. Her voice is SO pretty! :)  Shes kind of a mix of Miley Cyrus and He is We (have any of you heard of He is We? Well, if you haven't, you should. Because He is We is great!). But its crazy because she looks just like Ashley Tisdale, only with darker hair. Its hard to believe they aren't related! Haha

Last, but definitely not least, is We the Kings! They are probably in my 'Top 3' right now (well, duh. haha). But my favorite song by them is called We'll Be A Dream {and for all you Demi Lovato fans out there, they do a duet with her in this song! :)} Its absolutely awesome! You wont regret listening to them! 

I'm done now. I'm pretty sure Ive caught you up on everything thats gone on in my life since I've last posted. Thanks for staying faithful even when I'm not actually posting! Lol

Oh, and a  HUGE extra special shout out to one my friends, Danielle, over at Paper Heart because she was the one who designed my lovely new blog! I absolutely love it! Thank you so much, Danielle! :)

14 + 1 = 15 (!!!)

That equation is true, (very much so true in my case.)!

Wanna know why?

OK, I'll tell you.

On March 27th it was my birthday on which I turned 15! 

Yes, I had a great birthday...

And yes, I got some pretty awesome presents from some pretty awesome friends! :)

OK, let me tell you how my weekend went:

FRIDAY:

Friday night I invited all of my friends over for the opening night of bible study and for my birthday sleepover.

When everyone arrived, we talked, ate, and talked some more.. Lol

Then we headed upstairs to have bible study (which lasted way longer than expected!).

We sang  Amazing Grace-My Chains Are Gone.

and another amazing song that I forgot.. haha.

Then, after talking some more, we went back downstairs to eat cake and open presents.

 Here is what I got:

1. a TJMaxx gift card

2. a Lifeway gift card

3. The new Francesca Battestelli CD called Hundred More Years 

4. The new Owl City CD called Ocean Eyes

5. two pairs of earrings 

6. the Apples to Apples game in Bible version

7. P.S. I Love You fragrance by Bath and Body Works

8. an iTunes gift card

9. cards (duh...)

and finally 

10. a t-shirt

I'm so blessed to have amazing friends like Katie, Annie, Bethany, Molly, KayCee, Kricia, and Magan! I love you, girls! :)

SATURDAY:

Saturday I stayed home until, like, 4:30 waiting for all of my friends to leave my house, and then we (my family and I) went to eat at Bob Evans.

After we got done eating, we went to a good 'ole gospel singing of Gold City.

Ya gotta have some variety of music in your life, ya know? lol

After that singing we came home and went to bed. 

The rest was much needed! 

SUNDAY:

Alas, my birthday has arrived! 

I woke up that morning and all that was running through my mind was "OMG, I'm 15 now. I'm exactly a year older than I was yesterday! Oh, but wait, I don't feel older.. Then again I didn't feel any older on my 14th birthday either.. Oh well!" and etc...

I got up, got ready, and headed to church!

I got to the church and walked into Sunday School. 

Everyone was like "Happy Birthday, Kaela! Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday!"

I don't know how many times I said "Thank You" while grinning! 

Then, after church was over, I went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse with my Mom, Dad, sister, Nana, and Poppy! :)

Then, when I was so stuffed I couldn't stand it, I went with my mom to go to Target - where I got the most amazing backpack/purse thing - and then we treked over to Maurices where I got a ton of new clothes and things for my birthday! 

Altogether it was a great weekend!

I can't wait until next years birthday (on which I turn 16! Oh yeah!)



P.S. Ok, here's the deal...
This post was originally started on March the 28th.
Since I have not been on my blog since then (which is REALLY sad!) I have updated it just a bit. Just so it doesnt sound like yesterday was my birthday..
lol
So, I just wanted to tell you that in case you were wondering "Why are you posting about your birthday way after it actually occurred?". haha

Anyways, I'm just trying to catch you up on my life since my birhtday. I'm so so sorry that I haven't been posting!
Just to warn you, my life gets a little stressful and I will forget to post sometimes.. But have no fear! Because I will still post, just not everyday! Like I said in an earlier post, I won't be poting but once every week or every other week. I know, its sad. But I am still sorry. Forgive me? lol

Thanks for bearing with me! Love you all bloggy people! haha ;P

Thanks for hanging with me!

Oh, and LooK! I have a new signature thingy! Isn't it cute?
And its all thanks to Danielle over at Paper Heart!
She does blog designing, too! So, go on over and check her blog out! Im sure she would really appreciate it!


 

That's a true s

Yesterday was my birthday

Aw Man, I'm Sick!

This stinks! 

I'm at home, sick. I'm sitting on my couch, sick. I'm writing this, sick.

I'm just plain ole' sick! 

{not my picture}

(And I think it's safe to say that the photo above is definitely not of me! Lol)

It's mainly my runny nose, though.

Speaking of runny nose, look at this picture I found:

I think this is too funny:

{not my picture}

Bahaha! Isn't this the cutest little picture! Why didn't I think of this before?

Anyways, I have a thesis statement due tomorrow for my Grammar class at school!

You see, I'm writing a 5-7 page long paper on C.S. Lewis. So, I'm trying to gather all this information about him and cram it all into one little thesis statement sentence thingy. This is what I have right now(minus the picture):

C.S. Lewis, an inspiring Christian author, is best remembered for writing his famous series of books The Chronicles of Narnia.

What do YOU think? I, personally, don't think that it has enough detail. Yet, at this moment, I'm not really caring because I am sick, so blah blah blah stupid thesis statement! Haha! :P

~~~~~

Guess, what people?

MY BIRTHDAY IS THIS SUNDAY!!!!! 

WOOT!!!

Ok, no more foolishness. Lol

But, I'm dead serious! I'll be 15 this Sunday! Whooooop! 

:D

Can you tell that I'm excited? Haha. You sure can't, can you? :P

Never mind...

Anyways, I can't wait! Hopefully I'll get what I wanted {which includes the following:}

{not my picture}

I really hope I get this! :)

Did you know that the iPod touch 4th generation does everything most of the things an iPhone does besides call? 

Pretty awesome, right? Haha

Anyways, my lips are gettin' chapped and I gotta go find myself some kind of lip hydration. 

Heehee(;

Just Being,

Kaela

P.S. I have some good and some bad news, but I'll tell you the good news first:

GOOD:

My good friend Danielle over at Paper Heart now does blog designs, SO, we have teamed up and decided that she would make me one for my birthday! :) 

EEEP! This is so exciting! I'm so happy and thankful that she is taking her time to do this! 

THANKS, Danielle!!! :)

BAD:

Only ONE person has entered my photo contest and if I don't have at least to "competitors" before April first, I'll just have to declare the first, and only contestant, the winner!

So, please, just scroll a few posts down and you will find the post of the Photo Contest! I'm sure you'll love entering and have so much fun doing so! 

Thanks to all you faithful followers (and is it funny to say that I get so anxious to see how many new followers I have that I log onto blogger everyday just to see if I have one more follower? Haha, it's true! I guess it's just because I'm a new blogger and I find it quite fascinating to see a new follower on my "followers" list! Lol, but thank you to those that do follow! You are so precious! :) )

Sweet Tea!

Ah, sweet tea...

Oh, how I love sweet tea!

Here's a picture of it:

Oh, isn't it just gorgeous?

Haha!

Ok, so I'm not that obsessed, but I do love sweet tea!

:) ---> It makes me smile like that! Or like this ---> :D

I'm not sure where the idea for such a random post came from besides the fact that when I got home from school today I had some to drink. Hehee! ;)

It's delicious, and all you sweet tea lovers out there know it!

:)

~~~~

OH, GUESS WHAT???

My birthday (since I'm deffinately not counting down, pshh! lol) is in 9 days!

9 DAYS!

Just in case you didn't hear that the first time...

Woot, Woot!! ;)

I'm excited... Can ya tell?

Heehee.. (!)

I'm not sure what type of party I'll have, yet. Any idears? Lol.

~~~~

One last item of business:

There is only one person (so far) who has entered my photo contest! Poor little follower has no competition! :(

So, please take some time to enter! I'm sure it'll be worth it!

Thank you to my precious followers! :)

~~~~

Anywho, Im heading to bed now.

Goodnight bloggy peoples!

Just Being,

...Photo Contest Update

My Photo Contest only has 1 (1, one, uno!) contestants right now!

That's kind of depressing for me because not only am I a new blogger and don't yet have that many followers, but I feel like a puny little blogger.. Lol

But anyway, please enter my photo contest!

If you go a couple posts down, it's right there...

So, please, DO NOT hesitate to enter! It should be really fun to do and to post about!

Thanks so much for following me all you wonderful-tastic followers! Haha

I really really appreciate it and it really really makes me feel good about my blog! 

Just Being, 

Kaela 

...It's Almost (......!)

MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Eeeep!

I'm proud to announce that in - let me see, here... *counts in head and on fingers* - 13 DAYS I will be 15!

YES, I said that number... 15!!!

I'm so excited!

So, I was talking to my mom and friends the other day and I said that I kind of wanted a surprise birthday party, but on the other hand, since some (most) of my other friends have been having those kinds of birthday parties, I didn't really want to have one of those.

Instead, I think I just want, like, a chilled party. Just, you know, relaxing and stuff at my house. Nothing HUGE! Lol

But watch them give me a huge one, anyways...

Haha!

I can't wait, because maybe next year I'll be able to DRIVE!!!

AHHHHHHH!!!!! (Lol..)

Here are some things that are on my birthday wish list:

1. Another (because I already have one) Deas Vail CD
2. All of the Owl City Cd's
3. An iTunes gift card (only because I am absolutely in l-o-v-e with my iPod (which is a touch, by the way! lol)
4. Some new clothes, preferably from: Maurice's, Dillard's, Lane Bryant, and Fashion Bug (yes, I'm that cool because I shop at Dillard's, Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug! Haha). Macy's, American Eagle, and other such places...
5. Accessories, handbags, and/or sunglasses from Charlotte Russe, New York and Company, Wet Seal and etc...
6. a new phone (too pricey, right? Lol..)

I'm thinking that's it (for now... lol)

~~~~

Ok, so right now my hands are really dry so I'm going to incoporate a "lotion" post into my birthday post!

;)

These are the lotions I love! :

This is my winter-time/smell-good lotion

This is my smell-good/spring-time lotion

This is not my smell good lotion (I mean, it doesn't smell bad, but it doesn't have a good smell.. You know?)

But it does keep my hands dry pretty much all day long! Lol

My favorite out of all of these is the Bali Mango lotion! It's from Bath and Body Works! I actually got it as a present from one of my neighbors for Christmas this past year! It's awesome! I would definately reccommend it! Lol

While we're on the topic of things that smell good, why dont I just go ahead ans post the perfumes that I use... Haha! :

This is my favorite one! : 

Second fave! :

Third fave! :

Fourth fave! :

Fifth fave! :

Least favorite, but it still smells really good! :

So, there's the big/long/ginormous list!

You should try them all out! They smell really really good! 

:)

Anyways, enough for tonight! I can't believe I'm getting in bed late again! :P

Goodnight all you bloggers!

Just Being, 

Kaela 

I Don't Have Homework!

Guess what?!

I don't have homework today!

EEP!

OK, so, I do have to admit that I have to finish reading a chapter in my Earth and Space Science book, but that doesn't count because I don't have to have that done until, like, Friday! (Lol)

I'm just so happy!

You're probably thinking "Why are you so happy, Kaela? It's just homework. What's the big deal?"

I'm happy because it's really rare that I don't have homework!

I'll usually be doing homework every single day of the week (yes, even Sunday!) :(

So, I barely have any time to relax, and just chill with my family, you know?

But, tonight I can do anything and everything besides homework! :)

YAY!

I just had supper, without having to do homework!

I'm just sitting here, not doing homework!

It feels so good to not have homework!

OH HAPPY DAY! (Lol)

Welp, I'm going to get off now! Kinda gettin' tired.

I'm so glad! Tehe! :)

Just Being,

Kaela

P.S. Arianna over at These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things is having a "50 followers giveaway", and I'm sure she would love if you went on over to her blog ( Arianna ) and entered her giveaway!

Thanks for reading! :) It really brightens my day!

...It's (Lip Gloss) Notification Time!

Hello fellow bloggers!

Just a heads up, the Photo Contest is now up and running! As is the song/poem contest.

If you didn't read the posts about those contests, then you should! It tells all the info about both contests and how and what to enter and everything!

Just a reminder that the "Simply Chic In Those Sun-G's" Photo Contest ends the April 1st along with the song/poem contest! 

I hope you all have a blast doing them! I know I will have fun picking and choosing the winners, yet it still will be hard to!

~~~~

NEXT UP:

I guess you could call this the main part of this blog post! I will be speaking, today, about the most amazing lip gloss you will ever find anywhere in your life!!!

It's called Ultra by Bath and Body Works! It's like a mint infused lip gloss (for those of us who like minty things!).

Here's a picture:

^ Behold the amazingness above! ^

It's hard to describe, but the only way I can describe it is like when you take a breath in from your mouth, your mouth feels like it's freezing! It's totally incomparable to ANY other lip shine stuff in the universe!

Tehe..

Anywho, I just thought I would share that little tid bit of greatness with you!

~~~~

Thank you for your support! I now have 8 followers! And it's all thanks to my BFFE Katie over at Hello Highlights! She mentioned me and all of a sudden I got, like, three more followers! That's awesome!

Feel free to go and enter any of the two contests! It would mean a lot!

Just Being,

Kaela

...Technical Difficulties!

I am sorry to say, but Just Be is having some "technical difficulties".

:(

I know.. Sad, right?! Lol

It's weird because I am trying to have to "Simply Chic In Those Sun-G's" Photo Contest, and change my template at the same time and I really have NO idea what I'm doing! So, bare with me a little longer! ... I'll get there! Haha.

The main problem is that I am having trouble putting up the "linky" thingy for the contest entries. I'm trying to copy the code to my blog post, but it keeps turning up and saying this: "Your contest has not started yet and will not start until March 4th, 2011"

WELL!, March 4th was yesterday! Lol. Anyway, if you know how to help me.. Please do!

Im SO sorry about the wait for the contest entries! Maybe it'll be up soon!

Thanks for stickin' with me!

Just Being,

Kaela

P.S. In the meantime-
Why don't you Just Be followers write me a song!
Yes, I said SONG!
:)
Just write a random song! It doesnt have to be a FULL LENGTH song..
Oh wait!!! Brainstorm!! Why dont you just write either a song OR a poem!
How brilliant is THAT!?

Ok, you can choose from either a song or a poem, and whoever's song or poem is best will be the winner! There will be no theme or restrictions (although I do ask you keep it clean and free of, like, zombie guts and that kind of stuff! haha). Why not even post a random picture that goes along with your song with the post?! It'll be fun! And just to clarify, you dont have to have a tune with it or anything (if you don't want to, that is!)
Just comment on this blog post with whatever song or poem you write. You may enter up to three each person!

Eeek! Im so excited! Its like a contest within a contest(-in-waiting). Tehe!

Don't forget:
 Have fun, and be yourself!
It's the only way you'll win!

...A "Shopaholic" {With A Side Of Photo Contest and A Lot of other Important Information}

Hello People! How have you been lately?

I've been great! Just sayin'! Lol

So, as I am typing this post, I am sitting on the couch, in my living room, watching Confessions Of  A Shopaholic! 

I love this movie! Mostly because I can relate! (Well, not all the way because I would never buy that much stuff in my lifetime, but I do like go shopping!) ;) And the guy in it... He's kinda cute! Haha

It's altogether a cute movie!

Next item of business:

PHOTO CONTEST!

Woohoo!

Are you excited?

I am!

And not only because it's my very first photo contest..but because I think they are super-dee-duper fun! :) Lol

The title is "Simply Chic in those Sun-G's". The object of this contest is to take a picture of yourself in a pair of sunglasses!  Do it however you want to! Take it wherever you want to! Inside, outside, underground, above ground, in a pool, laying in some grass, wearing a pretty dress, or in a hobo outfit hoola hooping! However you do it is up to you! Impress me! :) Haha

I haven't decided on the prizes yet, but I can assure you that they will all be "online" prizes! Maybe something like blog templates? You can give me that feedback!

Anyways, my next post will be the entry an rules and whatnot about the contest! :)

Moving on...

I just wanted to tell you all that I will only be posting on the weekends. Maybe every other weekend.. So dont expect to see a post every weekend. Haha! ;)

Ahem!

Haha... (!!!)

Another item of business:
I will be tampering around with my design, yet again. So, if are you seeing a terrible-looking blog for a short while, you now know why. Lol

Well, that's all for now, folks!

...A Justin Bieber Fan (Maybe!)

I believe that I just may be becoming a Justin Bieber fan!

People at school are always talking about him and how amazing he is! But, I'm not an official "Belieber" yet, so I'll just have to wait and find out myself at his very first MOVIE!

Yes, that's right! I said movie! Justin Bieber made a movie! A concert movie. Just like the Jonas Brothers movie, that I also went to see! ;) (And just in case you want to know, I've also seen them in concert! ... The Jonas Brothers, that is! They were also quite amazing.)

Anywho, back to Justin Bieber! I've been anxious to see his movie ever since it came out, and to tell you the truth, so has my mom! Haha. And since we've been so anxious, I'm pretty sure tomorrow is the set date we are actually going to go see it! :)

*giggles, grins, and fills with joy*

I'm very excited about it! If you've seen it, comment and tell me ALL about it! I'd love to hear your comments and opinions! :)

Just a heads up:

My next post will be a PHOTO CONTEST!

Yes, I said photo contest! Lol ;)

The theme of it (or should I say title of it) will be "Simply Chic In Those Sun-G's". (lol)

This is my picture, but I don't like it.. :( Oh well! Haha

Ok, well, I'm not sure if that's the title I'll actually stick with..but if you have any suggestions or opinions about it just let me know! Oh, and if anyone knows how to set up one of those blog contest entry thingys for contest entries (DUH, Kaela! lol), let me know that, too! I'll most likely need it for the contest anyways. (of course..) Haha ;)

Anyways...

I like shopping!

In fact, I LOVE shopping!

One of my favorite places to go shopping (if not my actual favorite place) is TJ-Maxx!

I LOVE TJ-MAXX!

They have the cutest, well, everything! :)

They sell anything from purses to jewelry to sunglasses, scarfs, home decor and furniture, clothing..(and they even have a toy section for the little kids!) How amazing is THAT? It's everything a girl wants! ;)

Check out this sweater I scored big on at TJ-Maxx:

Sorry if it looks a tad wrinkly... I've already worn it, like, 8 times! Tehe!

Anyways, TJ-Maxx is a great go-to store for all of your at-home needs! :P

Here are the websites of a couple other stores I enjoy shopping at:

Maurices

Vanity

Macy's

Kohl's

JCPenny

Payless

and many more...

Well, I hope you've enjoyed this post!
