Some of the best things in life come from our mistakes in. Did you ever really make a mistake somewhere in life and feel like it was the end of the world for you? We "all" can honestly confess to that one.
I grew up in a family where mistakes weren't allowed so if I made one when I was a little girl I was accustomed to run away. Later in life when I had my own children I always tried to lighten up on the scolding for this reason if something is done by accident "it's an accident" and just let it go.
My oldest daughter once decided to scribble on the wall and later blame it on her younger sister who was the baby. I soon figured out that the baby's arms couldn't have reached as high as where the elaborate display of artwork ended up.
Soon after I decided to purchase some larger than life butcher paper for my children to paint and color on. This gave them "all the room' they needed to be as creative as they wanted
Today my girls are all very "artsy" and all have careers in some form of the arts. I am so grateful to the Lord for helping me with the insight to let them grow and not stunt the desire for them to draw and finger paint and be creative when they were little.
Speaking of art and color. Today I went to do some window shopping just to see whats out there and I found a great pair of "artsy and dramatic" black and ivory" jacquard designer pants to go with my black suit jacket or vests as well as my basic neutrals from my color chart. Which is "cool" Blue based colors. Today I wore them to church with my silver beige crepe blouse. A great find that was only $16.00 and will mix and match with a lot of what I already have in my closet. .
How about a Jazzy new pair of new "animal print" pants that are really in style right now. Stepping out of the comfort zones and into more "color and pizazz" can really be challenging for some of us but give it a whirl! Like the old expression "Try it you'll Like it" and you may really like the new you that you see..
Today give away your smile, and a nice compliment to someone out there will really needs it. I love to express my feelings about clothes even though I may not choose what someone else is wearing if it looks good on "them" that's all that counts they always come back with "Thank you so much" you have "made my day".
A Great Big "God Bless"
To all of you out there. Your out there aren't you?
Getting back to lemons try these

Those of us with excessively oily skin may want to try a less drying natural and inexpensive way to remove oil from your skin. Prepare your own by mixing lemon juice an water, according to the strength you prefer, use less if its too drying. ( and freezing it an ice cube tray . When your feeling a need of a refresher, remove an ice cube and smooth it over your face. This leaves your skin feeling smooth and slightly tingly as well as removing an excess oil.

* LEMON WATER
A tablespoons or two of lemon in your drinking water with some ice really helps keeps your body in more of an alkaline balance (rather than soda's and diet drinks). Lemons are full of vitamin C for healthy bones and cartilage and connective tissue. Just be sure to use the real thing.
