Motivational Mondays #7 - What makes us happy?

Hello Lovelies!

It seems like forever since I last wrote a Motivational Monday post. Right now, I feel so reflective and I want to make sure, that on this Monday Morning, you are feel motivated! 

This quote is something so important to me. I used to have it on my bedroom wall as a child, and is still something that I often refer to and reference.

Recently, I have round myself questioning my 'plan'. The road that your on, the path of the future, the way that my boat is sailing. Set out in my mind, there are things I want to accomplish. With the self doubt, I have lost sight of how I'm supposed to get to my destination. 

I think people need to be more curious. We should be excited of whats come! In life, we stress. Some more than others. Sometimes over materialistic things, or over the greater meaning of life. And that's OK - but it won't make us happy. 

No one ever go anywhere by waiting around hoping something better will come, or where they're supposed to be, or whats waiting ahead. You need to get up, strike the flame, and ignite your life with awesome blazing light.

Leave behind the things in your life that fill it with darkness and all the things that bring you down, and cram it full of empowering happy things.

I know its easy to just say that everything is going to be ok, that's why baby steps will turn into a giant leap. I've been listening to an amazing worship song called "My Lighthouse" by Rend Collective. Putting all my faith in God, because I trust in his promise, and it comforts me to know that his light guides me. 

"Fire before us, You're the brightest

You will lead us through the storms"

I want you to make a list of all that makes you happy. It can be filled with whatever you like. This is mine: 

Remember;

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

All My Love

Sophie

MAC Mineralize Multi-Effect Mascara

Hello Lovelies!

Mascara is a staple in my make-up bag. This means that I am very picky and could spend hours wandering round the make-up counters before I find one that like. I've never found one that I've used for more of a couple of months before getting bored. While I was in Chicago, MAC brought out their new Mineralize Multi-Effect Mascara. Who was I to resist?

"The unique combination of our 77-Mineral Complex includes shea butter, emollients and conditioning extracts to keep lashes soft, flexible and separated for a luxurious finish that never clumps. A multi-effect brush combs and coats from root to tip with perfect symmetry, lengthening each individual lash. The deep, glossy hue of Charged Black enhances eyes from every angle."

Mineralize Multi-Effect Lash in Charged Black, MAC’s latest mascara, and the first one to use their 77-Mineral Complex, is designed to create glossy-like-a-glazed-doughnut lashes that are both soft and flexible. Doughnut lashes... that's a new one.

The thing I can’t help thinking about it: Why 77 minerals? Why not 76 or 78? But I digress…

I like that there’s no flaking or smudging, but it doesn't hold a curl very well, and it doesn't add length. The consistency of the mascara is light and doesn't feel heavy on the eyes. Having long lashes, this is something I value a lot. There is nothing worse than clumpy heavy lashes. The brush is a great shape to avoid spider lashes, but still giving you full coverage.

I hate to admit it, but packaging is everything for me when buying make-up, and Mac never fails to disappoint. 

Overall, I do really love this Mascara, but will may go back to Gigablack. I need more convincing.

Let me know down below if you have tried this one. If so, what did you think? 

All My Love
Sophie
