Nothing by Natalee Creech - WorthyKids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group/ TOS Review




WorthyKids, an imprint of  Hachette Book Group sent us the cutest book in the mail about a month ago called Nothing. Nothing by Natalee Creech is an adorable book that shows children that nothing can separate us from Gods love. 



This book is so adorable I can't even tell you. Brently literally laughs the whole way through every time we read this book. Each page is a different "what if" scenario asking what if  this happened, would that separate me from God's love?


The pages are beautifully illustrated and really capture children's attention. 




The goat on the mountain gets my son every time. 


My son cracks up at the squirrels flying through the air.


He thinks the mousetronaut and the catronaut are hilarious! After reading this book Brently asked me if Jesus was in Outer space! :) Kind Of!!


I am very glad that we received this book to review. It is such a wonderful book to sit down together and laugh, but to also learn a great lesson that no matter where we go or what we do, even if we mess up, that God still loves us. 



The book itself is beautiful. It is hardback and very sturdy. The pages are thick and colorful. I just love how they implemented silly things throughout the book so that it will really captures the child's attention. I think that is an ingenious idea. My son will want to read this over and over because it is so funny, and that means he will be hearing the moral of the story over and over as well. 

I highly encourage you to bring this book into your home. It is so good! I love books that teach great moral or biblical lessons within a good story that children really want to hear. 

This book is geared toward children ages 4-7 but I think children older and younger will love it as well. 

Here is a little video of Brently "reading" this book. 



I also really like what Worthy Kids Publishing stands for. 

  • · To be the #1 destination for authors, agents, customers, client publishers, and employees.
  • · To be a respected publisher that values diversity, nurtures talent, rewards success, and honors its responsibilities.
  • · To be market focused in all we do, and to lead change in popular culture.
  • · To anticipate change, foster creativity, and encourage risk-taking and innovation.
You can purchase this book from several retailers. You can click here to find the list. The prices vary by vendor but several of them have the book for less than $12. I think it is worth spending your money on for sure. 

I am not the only one who reviewed this book. Please read my fellow Crew Mates reviews as well to see what they thought of this book!

Makeup Monday / Four Looks One Palette / Pur Festival Palette





I have been wanting to do a five looks one palette series, but I only ended up doing four last week with this palette. I think I will do 3 to five, depending on the palette. 

After using this palette several times last week I find that I like this palette a lot more than I thought I would. This pink is the best hot pink that I have in all of my collection. The purple is a unique shade as well. I swatched all of my other purples and none were this exact shade. The rest of the shades are neutral, but they are still fairly unique. I do have lot's of other browns and bronzy colors but swatching them next to each other they are still slightly different in shade. I would keep this palette for the two pops of color and the pressed glitters alone. The glitters are very nice and they stick to the eye very well without any glitter glue! 

Here are a few of the different looks that I did with this palette. There are still a couple more that I wanted to do using the pink glitter, but you can still get an idea of how useful and fun this palette really is.
One day I will get a better phone. All of these looks were so much brighter and prettier in person. 















I had a lot of fun with this palette. This one will definitely be staying in my collection.

Makeup Monday


OK, I know today is not Monday, but I want to start a Makeup Monday weekly post.
 I have been thinking about taking one of my palettes each week and doing a different eye look with it each day of the week, or at least 5 days. 

I recently counted all of my palettes and I have 19, but a few of them are small palettes. To some, 19 seems like a lot, and to others that's hardly any at all. I have already given some away and tried to keep only the ones I really wanted. 

Yes, I love eye shadow palettes. They are my weakness. I am trying to be more careful on what I buy, as a lot of palettes are very similar to ones that I may already have. I am definitely trying to be more picky. 

One thing I noticed though was that I don't get as much use out of all of my palettes as I would like. 
I want to take one palette each week and see all of the different looks that I can come up with. As I am doing this, I feel like this will help me to decide if this is a palette that I truly love and need to keep, or if this is one that I could pass on to a friend or family member. 

These are all of my current palettes. ( I do happen to have a few more on the way, but I got them on a big sale! lol)


I decided to start with the Pur Festival palette as I just got this in my last months Boxycharm. If you are interested in signing up for Boxycharm you can use my link here

I love Boxycharm. It is only $21 a month and you always get over $100 worth of makeup and skin care! 

Anyhow, I am going to start with the Pur Festival palette. I have already done two looks with it, and I am loving this palette way more than I thought I would. 





I did this orangey bronze look. I wish I had a better camera because this looks so much better in person. All of this eye looks I've done look way better in person...But I loved this look. It is a great neutral look, but not as plain. 





Today I did a brown/purple look. It has purple in it but it is not wild or crazy. It is still a very wearable look. 





Two very different looks from the same palette. I can't wait to do more! This palette has pressed glitters in it as well, so at least one of my looks will have glitter. I can already tell that I could do way more than 5 looks with this palette. This is a great palette. I will have all of the looks in one post on Monday.

See you Monday!

PS...If there is a particular palette that you would like to see next, let me know!

Let's Talk Makeup

I love makeup

I admit I have a makeup addiction. I don't wear make up every day, but I still want all the makeup. lol

Depending on who you are I may or may not have a lot of makeup. I have about 5 eye shadow palettes. I wish I had so many more.....lol

I tend to get a new palette and forget about the other ones I already have. So I was thinking that I should make a point to use all of my palettes. 

I was thinking about doing something like using only one palette each week and then I thought I should make sure and do a different look each time and make sure that I do at least 5 looks. 

I thought I could make a weekly blog post out of that. A 5 looks 1 palette post each week. 

Earlier today I did a very simple brown eye look and a bit ago saw that it had pretty much worn off so I decided to play with a brighter palette. 

i use my Morphe palette for my first look. This is the cheapest palette I own, but I have been using it so much! I am drawn to these cool tone browns and pinks. 



It's hard for me to get a good picture with my phones camera. The colors were brighter in person, but this was a simple brown look. 


I then took my Alamar Cosmetics palette this evening and played with brighter, fun colors. 



These colors are also much brighter in person. I will try to get better images for my future posts, but what do you think bout this idea?
