Thankful Thursday: I have so much to be thankful for!

I know I'm a bit late with this post, but you can never be too late to be thankful, right?! 

I have slot to be thankful for, don't you!?  

I'm thankful, that I can wake up every day with a yearning to be creative and do what I love doing!

I'm thankful for a great fashion sense! And how The Lord pushed me into one of my callings! I love helping people look their best! 

I'm thankful for an adventurous spirit! I love to travel!

I'm thankful for a Heavenly Father who loves me and longs to be good to me! 

I'm thankful for the time I had with my grandpa. It wasn't always easy but it was so worth it! Some days I miss him so terribly terribly much! 

I'm thankful for restoration! And healing my sweet mom. She's a bestfriend of mine. And I'm so glad The Lord is restoring everything the devil tried to take from her. 

I'm thankful for opportunities! For divine appointments & divine opportunities! 

I'm thankful I live in the south. I'll always be southern!

I'm thankful for friends and family! You're wonderful! 

I'm thankful for creativity & the ability to come up with blogs! 

I'm thankful for what The Lord has already put into action! And what he has already done! 

I'm thankful that I live in a country who is free! Who stands for freedom!

As you can see, I have A LOT to be thankful for! 

Until next, I will continue to count my blessing instead sheep! 

Have a happy Friday-Ryn

Style find: Madewell Tote

I am totally swooning over Madewell's Transport Tote in English saddle (They have a black color with caramel handle tote too.)

I would adore having this bag. Which I will be owning soon.

[If anyone would like to buy this for me, you are more than welcome to! ; )  ]

Perfect for a carry-on!

It is a bit stiff in the store. But one of my sales girls that I go to all the time said "It will soften!" Yay! And The really cool part is, you can have any leather Madewell bag monogrammed!!! The colors you can have are, either gold lettering or dark brown lettering. It is $10.00 extra, but it's well worth it I think! (I heart the gold lettering. The only part to make a decision on, is if I should do RYN or LEB... What do you think? LEB are my initials.)

Here are the dimensions:

the transport tote $168.00  Item# 53228 (Madewell)    A ruggedly cool carryall in softly worn leather—it's the stuff-it-all-in-and-go bag you'll sling over your shoulder daily. Low-key, in a style and material that lasts forever. One of our all-time favorites (and yours too). Leather. Interior zip pocket. Unlined. 8 1/4" handle drop. 13 3/4"H x 17"W x 6"D. Import. Can be personalized with a monogram.     * You must fill in size  This is such an adorable bag! I know I will use this tote A LOT when I get it!                      Happy Wednesday! - Ryn

Beauty Find: Nerium

In honor of the nerium party my mom, Holly& I hosted last night. I thought I would inform my sweet lovies (that's you!) about the new product in my life!

Nerium.

(Bad lighting, sorry!) 

 It's an incredible product! It does sooo much for your face! It's made from the oleander plant. The non harmful one! Since there are 400 species of the plant, just needed to clarify!  It is a night cream. And it targets & helps blemishes, discoloration, scaring, acne, dryness, oiliness, wrinkles, large pores, stretch marks, etc! It's the miracle product!!!

I've been using it for about 15 days! And I've noticed a significant difference for sure! My skin is usually rather dry and I've had a few blemishes here and there and I've noticed my face is glowing, it has evened out my skintone, the blackheads on my chin are minimizing (yay!), oh and my face has had roscea and its not red anymore, more like a light pink, its brightening my face and the dryness is decreasing! I just use powder on my face y'all! No foundation!!! The first time I just used powder, It felt like I was sinning with not putting foundation on, but I really don't need it anymore! My face is better off without it! You'll get to that place, I promise!

Nerium is super easy to use. 

Here's how you use it: 

1. Wash and cleanse your face. (I use my clarisonic & philosophy's clear days ahead)

2. Dampen your face. 

3. Use 2-4 pumps, squirt it on your fingertips. 

4. Smear it on your face. It will be slick. Just so you're forewarned. It will be like your fingers are iceskating on your face. You can use it on you face, Neck, back of the hands, décolletage, arms, wherever you want! Really! 

5. Let it dry. There with be a slight tightening to your face. That's a good thing. It means it's working! 

6. Go to sleep. 

7. Wake up! 

8. Wipe off or rinse off.

9. Put your face on! And wait for the compliments! ; )

I will tell you each face is different and will have a different experience. But all good results! 

If you want to purchase this product or find out more about this product, go to: www.karynbray.nerium.com

There are three levels to buy: 

Retail: $110.00

Preferred customer: $80.00

Brand partner: $500.00

This product is worth the retail price! It's that good! 

Unfortunately for those of you outside the US will not be able to order it. But they are still in the development process with getting it out there to your country! They are in the works for Canada & Mexico!!!! Yay! 

Hope you try it! -Ryn 

Soul searcher: busy

It's been a busy week!

Lets see, well first off, I've been taking care of my mom, she had quite a tumble the other day! She tripped and tumbled and fell off of a curb outside of the grocery store. She banged up both of her knees and hurt her shoulder & ankle. She's doing better but keep her in your prayers please. 

I'm pretty excited. I just did a styling last Monday, with more stylings on the way. Just need to spread the word! I have another styling sometime this week with about four or five new clients soon. 

Got some negative feedback from someone for the way I style my clients... Gotta prove them wrong, I guess! Ha! 

Working on some new jewels. Will post on Instagram & etsy at some point. I'll let you know so you can view & buy.

My bro-in-law made points with me. I got to ride with him the other day and it was actually quite pleasant! He and I had a heart to heart about driving, God, boys & traveling. It was something else. 

This week I'll be going to the Hillsong united concert. Pretty darn excited too! And I can't wait to hear Oceans live & in person!

On Instagram, Facebook & twitter I will be posting more things about the foundation I'm connected with. Hopefully you'll be able to donate money towards the cause. It's to help sick kiddos in the hospital. You can read more about it: www.kidhistoryfoundation.com :) 

Went grocery shopping today with my friend, Holly. We split ways while we were in sprouts.  And I can tell you it takes ALOT longer to shop for food when I'm by myself! It's ridiculous! 

I'm also working on a about me/pricing sheet to send to a friend in Denver, CO. So we can work on getting a style workshop going! If you're interested in a style workshop in your city, please email me I'd love to help: maudecclothing@gmail.com 

Hmmm what else? 

Oh I just bought a white Panama hat! Its really cute! 

Let me know what's been going on in your week! I'd love to hear! Comment or email me! maudecclothing@gmail.com 

I know this was a mishmash of things, but thought you'd be interested in what I've been doing! More good things to come!

I hope you have one of the best weeks of your life with many more to come! Love y'all, Ryn

Fancy Find: Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day! And I want to make a special shout out to all that have served in the military! Thank you for ALL you do and ALL that you have done!

Here are only a few things things that I've been working on this past week: 

New orleans Saints & Dallas cowboy garb! (Since the father wants the baby to choose which team, I thought I'd make it easy for her...) p.s, the mother is a soldout saints fan & the father is a cowboys fan! I thought I'd compromise...

Onesie with a faux collar & sequined elbow patches.

Little leggings with hearts on the knees...

Lil' headband turbans
