Winter Beauties

 I promise you there is more to me than just shoes. I just kind of feel disconnected from the world being out here in the desert. The only thing I could really talk about is the stupid stuff people do out here, and I'm not about to do that.....or I could talk about how many funny moments that I have (and there are a LOT), but you would have to be there to appreciate it. So I guess shoes is my thing for now. My topics will get more broad when I'm back at home. I'll make sure of it. All I have for now is shoes and books....and these right here are quite lovely.

Sugar....

....isn't so sweet, but it was a pretty good book. I really don't have much to say about the book. It is not a book I loved, but it definitely held my interest. There were some twist and turns that made Sugar worth reading. I think the closer the book got to ending, the more interesting Sugar's story started getting. Of course the author did this on purpose. I fell into her trap and bought the sequel. This Bitter Earth by Bernice McFadden is supposed to go into deeper details about Sugar's life. I guess I am reading it because there are some unanswered questions that I want answered.

Sugar was a prostitute with a hard life who didn't know what love even felt like until she befriended her neighbor, Pearl. Just when she started to see light in her life, she realizes she can not escape her past....and on to the sequel I guess.

These boots are SICK!

 *In my Cat Williams voice* These boots right here....  ;-) Dangerous.com. I gotta fan my face just to look at 'em.

And how cute are these? Too cute for the room.

Chasing Destiny....still a good one....

So I just finished reading one of my favorite books again. I needed to take a break from new books that might be good. I just wanted to read something I knew would be a great book. What can I say about it? Chasing Destiny is a good read to me...it still holds my attention as if I never read it before. I think this makes it my fourth time reading the novel, and I'll probably bring it with me on another deployment. It's just that good. :-)


The next book I've decided to read is Sugar by Bernice McFadden. I've read a book by her before, so I'm confident that this book will at least hold my interest. It starts in the 1940's, and it begins by describing a brutal murder that the people of the town remain quiet about. Hopefully, this will be a page turner.

I'm also reading The Christian Athiest by Craig Groeschel. This book was recommended to me by a co-worker. I'm looking forward to learning something new and growing spiritually.

My Addiction

I tried to go without posting shoes up for a while in an effort to show that I have more to talk about than shoes. *shrugging*...the desert is causing me to have less to talk about. Everyday is the same around here, so I shoe browse to I drop. Anyhoo...these are the shoes that have caught my eye in the last few days...

My favorite are the shoes to the left with the pretty detail on the base. I heart these....in every color and pattern they offer.

These pink shoes are just fun! A white t-shirt and some jeans would be all I need with these.

Seems like I can't avoid a nice, short boot. Even when I try to avoid looking at them, booties always find a way to catch my attention. I can see so many options with this plain, classy boot.

makeup

I feel like a woman should be confident enough to walk out of the house without makeup. I feel like true confidence comes from being able to look someone in the eye and say "this is me." I am not against makeup. In fact,  I'll wear it from time to time. I think I just get more bothered by women who act like they can not go anywhere without putting some makeup on. Yes, you should always look your best when you go out of the house. By no means, do I think it's a green to go outside looking like you just rolled out of bed. I do, however, think that if you need to run by the grocery store really quick, there shouldn't be a need to spend a ridiculous amount of time standing in the mirror. There should be a certain amount of comfort in who you are without any add-ons. That is all.
