A Blogger I am Really Inspired by:

Usually I will try to be creative or I just give up and give you a boring post..But today I was looking through my favorite blogs and just got inspired and God laid on my heart to blog about a particular blogger today!

Meet Jessah @ Dreaming Of Dimples

She is gorgeous!

 She is a blogger who blogs about Infertility and her daily life  and it's super inspiring and a woman empowering blog! I love her blog and she is just such a ambitious and determined woman especially when it comes to Infertility.

I learned from her blog today that last week is NIAW- or National Infertility Awareness Week

I know I am late but I still think her blog should be checked out and women everywhere should be interested in this topic whether you are fertile or infertile we as women need to keep each other informed and be there for each other!

Find her link to this post HERE

So go check out her blog and see how inspiring she is and how

 empowering her and her husband's battle with infertility is! 

Thank you Jessah for inspiring me! XOXO

Studying the Bible:

I have been reading this book by Renee Swope...find her website here, it is so good! I can hardly put it down, it has a ton of bible verses to go along with the book and just gets you in a deep face to face conversation with God, I am so glad I purchased this book--I got mine from Amazon for just $6. It's definitely a book I will be passing along.

This is what one of my bibles looks like- it has been such an amazing portable library of God's word. I would like to get a pocket book size bible that clasp shut so the delicate pages do not wrinkle. I have been studying by myself the book Philippians lately particularly 4. 

The verse that has hit my heart hard lately is 

Philip. 4: 6-7 

"Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he's done. Then you will experience God's peace which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus" 

What Bible verses are touching your heart, mind, and soul lately?

My Fitness Inspiration:

My Fitness Inspiration for the Summer and After:

Jessica Biel is pretty much the inspiration for my workouts her body is phenomenal and she is strong as in she muscle builds a lot not just to look like a waif in Hollywood!

I would love by the middle of the summer to wear my brazilian cut bikini and feel fabulous in it!

I have always wanted a tight and toned stomach which is the hardest part for me and most women to obtain due to hormones and craving but I am going to go ab work out crazy!

I want clear and healthy skin, I am inspired in the idea that lots of water and working out which causes sweat that gets out those impurities will leave me with glowing skin!

I want to be so happy when I work out I want to thrive in my workouts and enjoy them!

I am so not guilty of this...I'll be like "Oh I didn't eat bad all week time to go crazy!!!!" NOPE! Not anymore! I will not give in to my emotions and eat to eat!

Last inspiration I want to buy a light pair of 27 jean skinnies and feel great in them and not like i am suffocating! My happy weight is 130 and size 27 jeans so I am pushing for this goal for the summer!!!

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Dream Wedding :D

This would be my ideal engagement ring :D

Or this..

I know for sue I want my wedding dress all lace! 

I know I want fall colors for a fall wedding 

I know I want a red velvet cake 

I know I want it at this Virginia Plantation over looking the water!!!!

What's your dream wedding or what was your favorite aspect of yours?

My awesome weekend!!!

This weekend I went to Virginia beach and visited sam's parents. We went to Texas road house where I had a delicious ribeye. Then his mother and I made a coconut. Cake that was amazing!!!!
Oh and I'm a blonde now!!!

Beauty Brains & Guts

We all have wanted a style or a hair style or a make up trend to work for us---buttttt, we have sometimes been a little nervous to try it! Well I want to share my new outlook on beauty! 

*It's a llllll FIXABLE! Go ahead and try it out! I have been recently highlighting my hair every 5-7 weeks  to become a golden blonde or honey blonde my end result would be like this...

I am so excited to see if blondes TRULY do have MORE fun? haha!!! 

I would never have done something like this a year ago because I would listen to everyone telling me I couldn't pull it off but braveness has gotten me a lot of compliments and new styles of make up to try!!!!

SO: go ahead and attempt your dream style whether it be fashion, make up or hair!

XOXO

Da baby

I caught him nibbling on my jacket...

After a little chat...I learned

via Pinterest of Course from my Best Friend's board...

She is a fitness fanatic, has an amazing body and amazing motivation...

I found this website:

Zen Habits

Awesome advice and tips for a work out! I can't wait to get my butt to the gym again!!! Summer I will be looking good because I wont have to be in class 5 days a week I can finally work out!!! :D 

I am cutting out damaging carbs and empty calories like: chips, nacho cheese,white breads, late night eating...etc. I also cut out mixed drinks heavy beers and cock tails, I will only have 2 glasses of red wine (healthier) and light beers 3 of them---some people may think that's nothing in college but I am serious about my health and want to change my life style habits.

*Personal Tip* Do not listen to NEGATIVE people they are usually hurting the most just pray for them...

Purchase from Target for my Workout plan:

$16.99 - so comfy and I wear a size Medium and I am a size 34 C sometimes B depending on the cycle...;) haha! I love it to it controls sweat!

XOXO- Samantha
