In today's world it's hard to be a Christian. But if your going to be a Christian the important thing to remember is to stay strong. The world might try to tare you down, destroy your faith, invade your mind with self doubt. But that's when you need to go to the Lord in prayer and pray for Spiritual strength, help, and guidance. It is good to read the Bible in times of despair. Psalms 91 is a complete Psalm of how God will bless us and keep us safe. When I feel scared I read or pray this Psalm. I also enjoy Psalms 139. This Psalm talks about God's endurance and how He knows everything and sees everything. It is comforting to me to know God is always there watching no matter what, and even if we fall astray God is right there to pick us up again and set us back on the right track. Remember no matter what your going through or no matter how hard it may seem right now, God is always right there by your side. There is nothing that can or will come against you that God can not handle. When the devil comes knocking at your door say just a moment, Father God can you answer this please, and let the devil get a surprise guest!!! The best way to fight the devil and the doubters of this world is to have great faith, even when you doubt have faith, faith is the most important thing in this world that gets stuff accomplished. Also pray, when you stay in prayer it leaves no or little room for the devil to invade or say creep up on you unawares. Read the Word, when you read your Bible your hearing from God, this is His communication to you. When you pray your communicating to Him, when you read His Word He is communicating to you. Never give up, even when you think there's no hope, there's always hope, there's always a way out, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Resist the devil and he will flee from you, this means staying away from things you know will bring you doubt or fear, staying away from places that will bring you doubt or fear, staying away from people that will lead you away from God. Also you can rebuke the devil. The Bible says if you rebuke the devil in the name of Jesus Christ he has to flee. And always, always trust in God!!!

Stay young!!!!!
Ever since I was 10 or 11 I've been using all different kinds of face creams and different methods to keep my face young. Today I'm 26, but everyone still thinks I'm 18, or even younger, I still get carded!!! So don't just trust in your good genes. Follow my advice to stay young looking! You wanna look 40 when your 80 don't ya, so here ya go!!
1) Wash and moisturizer your face everyday. Morning and night if your going out, just at night if not.
2) Always use a eye cream under your eyes every night. (This way your helping to diminish dark circles, and keep your eyes sparkling!)
3) Find the best moisturizer, face cream, eye cream, mask, toner, etc. Try these brands, Sephora toner, Nars essentiual vitamin c serum, Peter Thomas Roth max mattifying gel, Oil of Olay anything, I love that brand, Avon anew product line, it's a good line, maybe not the best, but good, Clinque system, with the step 1, 2, 3 is very good as well, Also try these other brands Murad, Bliss, Kinerese, DHC (Miracle drug!), Dr Brandt, Philosophy, basically anything you can find at Sephora is going to be good.
4) Utilize the modern technology given to you!!! I.E. Buy at home microdermobrasion kits (Oil of Olay is a cheaper one and is good) I am always using different stuff, like once a week I might use a microdermobrasion kit, or a face peel, I always use eye cream no matter what and I'm always on the look out for new stuff that's better than what I already got. I use different stuff to get rid of wrinkle lines (EVEN SMALL ONES!!!)
5) Basically follow these steps and you'll be a happy woman! 1) Wash and moisturizer your face every day, use a eye cream every day to get rid of and prevent dark circles. 2) Once a week do a microdermobrasion treatment, once a week do a face peel treatment, once a week use something that get rid of wrinkle lines. 3) Once every other day use toner after you wash your face and before you moisturizer it, unless you need it more. 4) Once every other day use a face scrub target the areas you want diminish, such as acne, pores, etc. 5) Twice a week use a face mask for 15-30 minutes. 6) Don't pick at pimples! 7) Always wash your face before you go to bed, never go to bed with your makeup on. This is the time your face renews itself, while you sleep, don't leave all that gunk on for it to absorb, you want it cleansed and moisturized so it can replenish itself.

Make purses at home!
There are several ways you can make cute purses at home.
1) The kool aid purse. Buy a bunch of kool aid drinks, the ones in the boxes. After you drink it and it's empty throw away the straw. With each of the left over kool aid packets place together against a cardboard. Use clear tape and tape all around. Do this for 5 different cardboards. Make sure you get the sides how big or small you want them, and the bottom as well. Then place one cardboard like say the front of the purse against the side of the purse. Basically you want to be thinking of what it will look like when it's done. So taking the front and side together like what a purse would look like, use clear tape to tape together, do for all sides until you have front, back 2 sides, and bottom and it looks like a little kool aid box. Then either do kool aid straps the same way, you'll probably want to staple the bottoms into the cardboard where you want the handles or go to wal-mart and buy those pre made handles and put them on there however you want.
2) Use the same cardboard and clear tape method above, but use pictures of your friends and families or pictures out of a magazine instead. This time glue the pictures to the cardboard and then use clear tape to go around it as a protector when done.
3) Grab your fav material, a needle and thread, and sew a sack like or bag like bottom, like a purse. Then sew the handles (your making them), then sew the handles into the finished bag like purse bottom. Whalla your done. They may not be the most expensive purses, but their kind of cute when finished!!!!

Rachel's weekly review Computers
Each week I'll review a different product. This week the product is Dell computers. Dell is one of the best brands out there today for computers. I've had several different computers so far, and out of the different brands, hp, gateway, dell. I find dell the most reliable. When my hp crashed it was just done for. But when my dell crashed it was easily repaired. They work faster and better in my opinion. And they give you all kinds of options when choosing your computer. The only downfall in having a dell is that you can't buy the ink for dell printers in stores. You have to go to a dell store or buy it online. Which is ok, unless you need it right away and have no dell stores around you, then your screwed for a day or two until your ink gets to you. But that is the only downfall I've found. So far I love my dell computer.

Dark circles
I get so frustrated with the dark circles under my eyes, and for years I have tried everything possible to make them go away without much success. Lately I have come across a few things that has helped my dark circles go down, and I'm going to share them with you.
1) DHC Eye Bright cream
2) Hydroderm Eye Serum
3) Benefit Eye Bright stick
4) And concealer
So far that's all I've come across that helps my dark circles. DHC and Hydroderm are the best, both of them actually made my dark circles go down. Other than trying different eye creams, concealer helps to cover them up and so does Benefit eye bright stick. I do a lot of facials and masks on my face, and just try a lot of different things to make my skin the best it can possibly be. So far those are the only two eye creams that I've come across that really work. I tried Avon anew eye cream, but it didn't help, mary kay soothing eye gel, it helps with allergies, but not dark circles, and so on. If I come across any more eye creams that work I will add them here.
