Some Of My Favorite Things: Winter

Every few months I try & jot it down and share with y'all, what I have seen & others that I have already bought! These are a few of my favorite things for sure!

Also can you believe, Thanks giving is tomorrow! Crazy how time flies! It just seems like the year just started and now it is moments from starting a new year!

Anyway, here are the favorites I have-

 This is the prettiest nail polish, and I can't wait to wear it! I'll be  wearing it next week as a matter of fact! You can find it here.

Yep, My all time favorite sweatshirt! It's adorable! I can't wait to purchase this sweatshirt. It's super long & it'll be super cute with skinny jeans or leggings and boots! Uber cute & cozy! You can find them here.

These are my most favorite boots ever! I found these by accident and I adore them! They're comfy, cute & just what I wanted! I've been thinking about buying another pair even! You can find them here.

I've used this stuff once before and I liked it...ALOT! It's a lot gentler on my nails than gel or shellac from a salon but it stays on just as long as the shellac! It's easy to use, but there are a lot of steps to it. But totally worth it! you can find it here. (Instructions: DIY gel nails. (1) 2 coats of Gelous Advanced Nail Gel Coat. Wait 2 minutes between each coat (2) 1 coat of nail color. Wait 4 minutes. (3) 1 coat of Gelous. Wait 2 minutes. (4) 1 coat of nail color. 4 minutes (5) Apply a top coat.)

I saw this on instagram and I knew I had to get one at some point! They are soooo cute! I already like deer taxidermy and this is fake, so even better! No Bambi's were hurt in the making of these! You can find it here.

Just bought this Lip butter today, I have not used it as of yet, but I am anticipating to use it! It appeared to be matte when I smeared it on my hand, we'll see! You can find here.

I saw a Rebecca Minkoff bag like this on Fleur De Force's Vlog And I liked it so much, I have been dreaming about it since! and will be getting it shortly.You can find it here.

Apps: I am loving Terri Savelle Foy's Dreams & Goals. It's such an awesome app, you should get it. it's only $1.99 on iTunes.

Music: Go get Dara MacClean Petty's New album Wanted. You will not regret it! Also on iTunes. My favorite Songs at the moment are: Our only hope, Set my people free, Made, I am blessed, Good Enough. But truly, all of the songs are my favorite! So you really need this in your life! I know this girl personally and I know her heart, She's amazing!

Not until December 27th, will I write on the schedule again! I have a treat for you coming Sunday, December 1st!!! Get Ready! You'll like it, I promise!

Love you all and Happy Thanksgiving! -Ryn

Thankful Thursday: Healing

Even though it's approaching Saturday, I'm still thankful! I'm thankful for healing! All sorts actually! Healing in marriages, in bodies, manifested healing, healing of self image issues, etc. 

Just the other day, I strained my back. And yet I stood on the word and my back is so much better! I'm thankful for a God who heals! 

What are you thankful for?

Thankful Thursday: Laughter

Im so thankful for laughter! Laughter truly is the best medicine! Laughter sets a tone. An inviting one to boot!

It's usually spurred on my something that was funny. But you always seem to laugh when something's funny.  Or when someone gets hurt. Them getting hurt isn't funny, but the way they fell, ran into a door, etc.. The execution, more like! 

One thing my parents taught us was to laugh! We were a house of laughter growing up. I'm so grateful for it. Just the other day, I laughed so hard I cried! I haven't done that in year! 

Don't you remember bazooka gum? They always had jokes on wrappers. We need to laugh. We are creatures of laughter! With everything going on in the world. We just gotta be able to distress ourselves with laughter!

But did you know joy is behind laughter? You can't laugh without joy. 

I have a friend name Joy Lee, and her parents never gave her a middle name, so my sister & Brother-in-law dubbed her middle name as full. Joy-ful-lee. 

I always smile when I hear it or intentionally remember it! 

If not for anything else, be joyful this week and have a laugh! -Ryn

Thankful Thursdays!

Today starts the series of Thankful Thursdays!!!  Are you ready? 

I'm grouping two very important things in my life together, because without one of them the other one wouldn't exist. And this may sound cliche to you, but I'm very fond of both! 

1. God. Without him, I couldn't do what i love doing. I wouldn't have a fabulous  God-fearing family. And I would probably be drained all the time! My life is amazing because of God! He's so so good to me! My passion & dreams are so much richer because of having a relationship with Him. Not saying it has always been easy, but my life has a purpose!

And 2. I'm thankful for my family! You would think that I'm Italian, but I'm not!  I love how it has evolved. How I have great parents, who would go to ends length to help me out. A mom who will converse with me, teach things to me & run errands with me. And a dad who will help me with power tools! You mean the world to me! And i love you. For my sisters, even though they can irritate me royally, I still love them. They are some of the best women I know, all three of them! For my brother-in-laws, I know at least one of them would drop almost anything he was doing, if I called for help! He's such an awesome guy & super funny too!

The other one is pretty awesome too. He's harder to get to know, but I'm seeping in! I'll love him, whether he loves me or not. But I'm pretty sure that when I bring a guy home, my two brother-in-laws (and most likely my sisters) will infact threaten the safety of his own life if he should even think about harming one strand of hair on my head! Beware guys! Haha! 

For my nephews & niece, I love each of you so so much! You are so valuable to me!

And of course I love my dog Graycie, she's such a great doggy! 

So those are only some of the things that I'm thankful for! What are some things you are thanful for?!

 Until next week! Keep a thankful heart! -Ryn
