Frankly Friday…v31

Time for another Frankly Friday!

What is Frankly Friday? 

Let’s define Frankly shall we…

frankly |ˈfra ng klΔ“|adverbin an open, honest, and direct manner
. . .
I want this to be a way for all of us to be open, raw, and transparent with not only each other…but with ourselves. I think we put a lot of stock into the “fear” of what others may think of us…into the “fear” of really putting what’s on your heart out there in case someone decides to tear you down.
I’m over the fear & you should be too.
So let’s write…whether it’s about a situation you’re struggling through, a victory you’ve made, a memory that you can’t let go of…anything as long as it’s honest.

. . .
Frankly…
I’m so thankful for today.
Good Friday.
The day that we stop, remember, and reflect on the fact that Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.
I’m going to use my friend Sean’s words, because i couldn’t have said it better myself:
Today we celebrate the moment that Jesus died, the veil was torn from top to bottom, and the wrath of God for all mankind’s sin was satisfied. It is a great Friday.
Frankly…
I’m not really present today. Seriously. My mind is in 1,000 different locations, woot. 
I’ve got some fun stuff happening this weekend, so we shall see how it all turns out! 
Frankly…
I miss having the broseph around! Even though i enjoy having the house to myself some nights, it was nice to have his scruffy face present. 
Frankly…
I am proud of myself! I’m on day three of the dash-diet and i’m doing pretty dang good! Yesterday i was running super late so i didn’t have time to pack a lot of food and ended up eating three tablespoons of peanut butter…and i had some dressing on my salad that wasn’t the best, but other than that NO breads and NO straight sugars! AND there are chocolate chip reese’s peanut butter cookies sitting in my house; AND someone brought in krispy kream donuts Hot & Now and i am NOT eating them!
Woot woot high five for me!
Frankly…
I had a photo shoot with my friend {and professional photographer} Susan last night. Can i just brag on her for a moment? She is awesome, compassionate, talented, and so down to earth. She makes you feel comfortable, beautiful, radiant, and so secure in who you are. Her compliments are real and genuine. 
So i’ll share with you some of the pictures she posted on FB and one she emailed to me. πŸ™‚ She’ll be giving me more as she edits them but i was just so excited that i wanted to share some.
Does that make me narcissistic? I hope not. 
{My before picture, hilarious…i look like death but hey that makes the “after” that much better right?}
So there you have it…and i feel weird for posting pictures of myself lol. 
I will say that one of the funniest comments on facebook about the first picture came from my friend Sarah: 
I mean she looks like she could be on Twilight…you know how flawless they look and their skin is so smooth and everything is in place.
So watch out, i am a vampire and i will suck your blood muahahahaha.
In all seriousness the make up i was using:
BB cream (hides a lot) 
Elf red lipstick
A neutral shine eyeshadow combo (can’t think of the name right now)
Blush
& i filled in my eyebrows

Frankly…
I’m still behind on reading/commenting.
BUT i am getting there, i took bloglovin yesterday from 158 unread posts down to like 50…sooooo yeah. I’m sure that it will bounce back up in numbers though.

    You look great in those picture! I think you look fine without the make-up but the ones with it are great, too.
