A busy month of Super Bowl, The Olympics, & Skating

Ice skating is a great way to exercise ... and fun too!
Downtown Columbia, SC on a cold wintry night

Jacquie:  Winter is here and our first choice is to stay indoors by the fire, wrapped in a cozy blanket, drinking hot cups of coffee or tea.  Believe me, that's one of my favorite pastimes.   At the same time, we need to take some time to head outdoors for a brisk walk, bike ride, or a few times around the ice rink.  And don't forget the indoor gym just down the street.  Whatever your exercise of choice, have fun!

A touch of blush and red lipstick can brighten up our pale winter complexion

Destiny:  The long winter days, the harsh chilling wind can do a number on your skin, so make sure you moisturize daily, and especially at night.  You don't have to spend a lot of money on these creams; the important thing is to REMEMBER to slab that moisturizer on.  And Don't forget to brighten up your pale complexion with a few brush strokes of blush...and voila!  Winter Beautification! 

I love to ice skate and write

Sharon: My Christmas decorations are boxed but my winter decor continues--ice skate tree, ice skates, snowmen, and winter lights--to brighten the gray cold days and cold nights.  I'm being held captive in my office.  I'm preparing for the Writer's Boot Camp Advance next month at The Cove in Asheville, NC.  I finished my 10-page critique and 2-page synopsis for my upcoming book, Lady on the Run.  Next, I will endeavor to complete the homework assignments., plus, work on the manuscript.  Do you have a project that is beckoning you to finish?  Why put it off?  Dive in and find out how rewarding it feels to accomplish something, no matter how big or small your project is.  I cheer you on!  

Whatever you do in word or deed, 

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.  

Colossians 3:17

The 3-Generation-GLITS-Gals wish  you 

a jivin' January!

My daddy bought me a pair of skates
 and took me ice skating every Saturday.
We twirled and danced on the ice.

Sharon: 'Get your Autumn Glam on!'

Flying over the Cascade Mountains
October 2013

Summer's over.  Autumn is here.  And with that, our surrounding colors change, from the leaves on the trees to the colors in your wardrobe; from your home decor to the color of your lipsticks.  Our colors turn from summer cool to autumn warm, so look for those burnt oranges, deep chocolates, and flaming reds (Destiny found hers) for your wardrobe, make-up and home decor.

Destiny is busy helping Jacquie
get her GLAM on!

"Open those eyes real big, Mom," Destiny instructs.

A few Autumn TiPs:  

   Pick out what you're going to wear the night before; this will save time when you're dashing around with coffee in hand.

   Make sure you start the day with a healthy smoothy (in one of Jacquie's previous blogs).
 
   Brighten your smile with a burnt orange lipstick.  Oh yeah, don't forget to brush those pearly-whites.  I can apply my make-up in five minutes, so there's no excuse not to add some GLAM to your pretty little face.  The hair?  Well, that's another story, and since I don't like fussing with my hair, I take every short-cut possible.

   Take time to go for a brisk early morning walk, or a leisurely evening stroll.  As the days grow colder and darker, exercising is essential.  Choose something you love to do...well, perhaps like is a better word (the GLITS gals love to zumba once a week together at the local dance studio)

I found my Autumn blouse!

Now, wasn't that fun and easy?  Now, go out and knock em' dead!   Be joyful.  Our joy comes from the Lord, so spend time with Him.  Acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

Go in peace.
  The presence of the Lord be with you
on  your way.

Judges 18:6 NKJV

A few tips for Mother's Day from the GLITS Gals

Mother's Day flowers from son, Shawn 2009

The GLITS gals have a few tips for Mother's Day...

Destiny:  Give a 'goody bag' of lotion, cleansing cream, make-up, whatever you think your mom would enjoy.  You can spend a lot, or if you're on a budget like me, take a trip to your local drug store (CVS, Long's).  Give mom something that she would never buy for herself that will bring out the diva in her!

Jacquie:  How about a gift card for a massage?  Whether an hour, or even 30 minutes, your mother will feel like a new woman!

Sharon:  If your mother is a reader, may I suggest LADY and the SEA, a novel based on my true story.  You can purchase my book through Amazon.com, E-books, or go to my website at www.sharonleaf.com.  After reading, look out!  Your mom will be ready to take on the next adventure that comes her way.

Now, after applying her diva make-up and having a soothing massage, good ol' mom will look and feel like a million dollars when she curls up with her new book!

Whatever you can afford, big or small, make sure you give your mother a big hug, or if she lives far away, a phone call will do just fine.  But let's remember ... the most important gift of all is love.

Destiny says, A little blush here, a little eye shadow there ...

Before ...

After!

As my Aunt Eunice says, 

"Make-up covers up a multitude of sins."

It doesn't take much to add a little glamour to your life.  I always like to use my Grama Leaf as an example because she needs all the help she can get ... kidding.  Actually, she enjoys getting glamorized, and Grampa Leaf has no complaints either.

So here we go ... after applying a light foundation, brush on a pink blush on your cheeks to add some life to your face.  Then with the finger of your choice, rub on a white frosted shadow just below your eyebrows and around the outer eye ... both eyes.  And there you are!  

Doesn't life feel more glamorous?  And thanks to you, you will add a splash of glamour to those around you.

Show a little Diva in your life and have a beautified day!
