I'm Back With Lots o' Stuff!

     Hey guys and girls! I know I haven't posted in like FOREVER, but I've been really busy and I went on a small vacation.


     I have a lot of stuff planned for today so let's get started!


     First of all I want to do a quick talk on modesty.


     All of us want to keep up with the styles (come on, admit it) but recently, a lot of the "cool" clothing has been, well, on the immodest side.


     Since summer is coming it'll be hot and most of us won't be wearing as much clothing. So I want to talk about a few things to make sure you can be cool, stylish and completely modest!


     I recently read a book called, Fashioned By Faith, that was written by an international Christian model named, Rachel Lee Carter.


     Being an experienced model, she knows all about the fashion trends. She has a bunch of guidelines in her book so that you know which threads are modest and which are immodest. Here's a few of those guidelines that I've put into my own words:


     If you want to be trendy but modest with your skirts and dresses, make sure those skirts and dresses aren't more than 1" above the knee!


     If you want to wear tanks alone to a public place make sure the straps are two fingers width!


     There are plenty more guidelines in her book so I encourage you to go check it out! It's all about being modest and beautiful. Here's a few more that came from her book that again I have put into my own words.


      Do you like cropped tops? Well, to keep it modest, put a matching tank top underneath to keep it stylish. How about those cute but super sheer tops? Again, just put a matching tank top underneath and you're good to go!


Thanks for reading my not-so-quick talk on modesty! :D Now let's get on to the other stuff!

So I have to answer ten questions that I have been given and share ten random things about myself. 


What is your favorite song? I DON'T KNOW! Probably Wannabe by Royal Taylor or This is the Stuff                                                         by Francesca Batistelli.


What is your favorite dessert? Chocolate pie (can you see my shifting eyes?).


What ticks you off? When it takes 3 days or more for people to text me back. Especially if it's important. 


When you’re upset, what do you do? I don't know!
      
What is your favorite pet? Hmmmm....... I don't know! They're all too cute!!!!

Which do you prefer; black or white? To wear? Definitely white.


What is your attitude? I don't know! :P


What is perfection? Rainy days with pj's, hot coco, movies and cookies. Or a day with my buddies!


What is your guilty pleasure? Soccer and riding horses (but that's kinda been made obvious).


Now I have to give 10 random things about myself. Oh boy! I'm seriously gonna have to think!


1. I have a lot of friends.
2. I love blogging.
3. I love setting up our huge tent and playing in it with friends. (sometimes camping out in it!)
4. I love jumping on my trampoline.
5. I'm halfway done!
6. I'm running out of stuff to write.
7. I play the violin.
8. I love to read books.
9. I have no idea who to award this to.
10. I've been out of school since April, I think.


Now I have to award 7 bloggers but I don't know that many so I'll only award one.
