Fact of the Day:
Tea can be a fantastic addition to your beauty routine! Cool tea bags placed on the eyes can reduce swelling, redness, and can even help to cool and soothe a sunburn!
Happy Thursday!!

Ok, since fall's official arrival, I've been loving everything pumpkin..my nails are even orange. So what better way to indulge in this lovely fall staple than making some Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice muffins...believe me, it's like heaven in your mouth. Oh, and they are under 100 calories and low carb..yep, you're welcome.
Ingredients:
2 cups moist-style spice cake mix
1 cup canned pure pumpkin
1/3 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients with 1/2 cup water. Mix until blended. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups or spray with nonstick spray and distribute muffin mixture among the cups. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Cool muffins completely and enjoy!

Glitter, Gowns and Crowns

You might remember that I tweeted about going on an adventure last week..(What? We're not twitter buddies? Here, let's fix that right now..) and so I have been waiting on the photos to arrive so I could share it with you.
I competed in a pageant, and ended up winning the title! It was a one day event, and quite the fun learning experience. I'm not a pageant girl by any means, but I had decided that this would be something fun to do, and good practice for speaking to audiences, which I'll be doing more of in the near future. The competition had three categories for which we were scored; Patriotic casual wear modeling, On stage introduction, and Evening Gown. I had a lot of fun, met some sweet girls, and walked away with a sparkling crown and the title of Miss Liberty 2011.

The competition started with the patriotic modeling, and onstage introductions
and then came the evening gown, and crowning!
Other current queens from different states came in to do the crowning for each of the 6 age categories.
(thanks to pageant paparazzi for the photos)
So there you have it, my pageant experience. With a title, comes responsibility, and so I plan on making a positive difference through my time as Miss Liberty.
Have a wonderful week!

Hope your first day of fall is lovely!

Written Reminders
I wrote this about a year ago..it's just an excerpt from a journal I kept, documenting my year at school, and the things God was teaching me. Flipping though the pages, I found memories tucked away in the form of movie ticket stubs, a program from a fashion show I was in, notes from friends and grocery lists along with scripture verses, lessons from God and funny things that happened along the way. Taking time to remember all that I've learned just in the past year was so intriguing and encouraging. It inspired me to be open and ready for new experiences and lessons ahead.
How about you? Do you keep a journal?
Happy Thursday!
