Dear Maya Alexis Evans, I don't write you enough letters, emails, etc. So I thought this might be a neat one for you to always read & go to. #myfuturewife I praise God for you! I just want to take a moment & thank God in front of any who reads this post for BLESSING me with the greatest blessing that this world has to offer....YOU! #markthedate YOU baby, make each day better. YOU baby, make every moment worth living. YOU baby, deserve every good thing that this world has to offer. And I pray in Jesus name that it is God's will, plan, and purpose for me to give you anything possible that you would ever want, need, have ever desired, etc. I pray that God helps us to get married and I cannot wait until Sunday, March 24, 2024 comes around. #savethedate I pray that all of our hopes and dreams come true in Jesus name. And when they do come true, I pray that we enjoy, worship, and praise God like never before every single day after that. I love you Fever Chills!, Superman #myfiance For everyone else, much prayer is needed when it comes to Maya and me trying to get married. If you want to help out, we won't stop you lol. #couplesgoals We took this photo on Saturday, 07/16/22, at Justin Lee Howell's wedding. Justin gave me the pleasure of being one of his groomsmen! I cannot wait to include my "Jonathan, my Barnabas, my Aaron & Hur" in my wedding. He has been such a blessing to my ministries.

So happy that these ladies were with me as I said yes to the dress! They've been such a great encouragement to me and I thank the Lord for them! My matron of honour [vtownsend] and maid of honour [macie.collins3] have made this such an amazing experience for me. My mama and future mother-in-law have been such a comforting presence in this time and have been such sources of wisdom! #futurebride #isaidyestothedress #bridalparty #praisethelord

maddiepaulson Can't wait to be together with all of you ladies!

mason_adalynn_leonard So happy for you! This is such a special time and I can't wait to see the dress!

864.

Un día menos pero qué lento pasa el tiempo.

Hace unos días recibí por fin el planificador de boda de bolsillo de Mr.Wonderful que mi chico y yo habíamos pedido para empezar a organizar todos los detalles de nuestro día B.

Recuerdo que cuando llegó estaba dormida y me levanté como un resorte para empezar a utilizarlo. Mi plan siempre fue tenerlo listo para cuando fuéramos a pedir el presupuesto al balneario en que queremos realizar tanto la ceremonia como el banquete para que los empleados pudieran visualizar exactamente lo que queremos. Estoy muy emocionada con él, lleno de sueños por cumplir, ilusión y romanticismo.

Sé exactamente cómo quiero que sea mi día B. Se me eriza la piel solo de pensarlo. Llevo unos tres años con la idea muy clara. Una boda de otoño, llena de gerberas y estilbe, castañas, moras y calabazas.

Siempre había soñado con hacerla de noche para poder ponerle farolillos entre los árboles y darle un toque mágico a mi boda de otoño.  Cuando mi pareja y yo empezamos a hablar de esto no sabía si él querría lo mismo que yo. Pero cuando empezamos a hablarlo nos dimos cuenta de que soñábamos con la misma boda. 

Aunque todavía queda mucho y estoy deseando de que las agujas del reloj se muevan más rápido, estoy disfrutando mucho de estos momentos de preparación, de búsqueda de detalles. Estoy llena de ilusión y emoción.

La verdad es que ahora entiendo a todas las novias que no paran de hablar de su boda porque yo me he convertido en una de ellas, pero es que no puedo evitarlo. Soy feliz solamente de pensarlo.

Wanted to share a few more of my favourite photos from my engagement shoot. 💍💕 

Photography is by Peter Rigo Photography on Facebook!

Re-standardized self-image

I find myself in a strange (and perhaps overdue) transition period.

The only beauty-related thing that would fuck with me while I was growing up was weight (unsurprising) - i was a curvy Mexican girl and it took a lot of sports to at least be lean. When it came to makeup, hair, skin-related stuff, I legitimately didn't care. Not that I'd never wear it but it was never something I thought I needed to do everyday or something that I was actively interested in. I was a special-occassion girl with those things which I could say made it more meaningful to me and a pleasant change of pace for people who knew me.

But now i'm 28 years old, and only earlier this year have I begun to see parts of me that I feel needs that regular attention now where I didn't before. Lately, when I wake up and look at the bathroom mirror in the morning, I see fine wrinkles showing up on my forehead from the stress. I see my eyes looking pretty tired from my desk job and the schoolwork I do everyday. My nose feels unbearably oily in the morning and my teeth don't look as white as they could be.

When I'm in the shower, I'm noticing more than ever how dry my skin feels coming out of the shower (even after I use lotion). TikToks of recommended products for "vagacials" keep showing up and now I'm finding myself attempting to do more self-care for "down below". Facebook stories of other women I know having fun with hairstyles or hair colors I never would've touched before but I feel like the odd, plain one.

Its weird to say it but I think I've ridden the "natural beauty" train as far as I could go. And its depressing. I never cared about these sorts of things before and here I am wishing I had - because maybe I wouldn't look this crummy at 28. And did I mention that I'm getting married in 5 months?
