St. Nicholas...Santa Claus

The concept of the American Santa Clause originated with St. Nicholas, who was born in Asia Minor in the second half of the third century.  he was known as a kind, benevolent man and made a saint because of his generosity.  in honor of St. Nicholas, December 6th became the traditional day in Europe for the exchange of Christmas gifts and the beginning of the holiday season.  Dutch immigrants to the United States brought with them their version of the gift-giving St. Nicholas, known as "Sinter Klas." American, unaccustomed to the Dutch pronunciation, turned this into "Santa Clause," who is beloved as a symbol of Christmas by children of all ages.

Advent

The word Advent is from the Latin means "Coming" and is associated with the four weeks of preparation of Christ.

Beauty Tips

Tea Beauty Tips

Try a cup of ginger green tea – it’s a very aromatic and spicy treat.

Rooibos tea is said to help relieve insomnia.

Herbal teas are typically decaffeinated. Some people drink infusions for various medicinal uses.

Been in the sun too long? Run your bath water with several tea bags under the spout. Use oolong, green tea, or jasmine and soak your tender skin in the fragrant water.

Tea can help keep your breath sweet!

Want your feet to smell fresh? Tea is a natural astringent and the tannic acid will help kill bacteria. Soak your feet in black tea for great results.

After you shampoo, rinse your hair with a glass of green tea mixed with some lemon juice. Leave the rinse in for silky, smooth hair.

Help ease the discomfort of an insect bite or razor burn by placing the moist green tea bag over the area. The tea properties will reduce itching and swelling.

The ritual of tea is the perfect complement for your time of prayer and mediation.

Tea comes to the aid of puffy eyes. Boil water and put two black tea bags in. Brew for five minutes, remove the bags, and press out the liquid. Place the bags in the freezer for ten minutes. Lie down and place the cooled tea bags over your eyes for ten to fifteen minutes. The eye area will look refreshed. Warm tea bags can also be used.

Beauty comes from within

I think beauty comes from within. If you're happy and look at life in the best way you can, even when there are problems, it can make you beautiful on the outside.

Your Inner Beauty NEVER needs Makeup!

Love is...

God is more interested

 in the inner beauty 

of a person 

than the outer.

God is not concerned with outward appearance. He looks into our hearts and sees our true motives and desires, what is on the inside is much more important than how we dress up the outside.

Scripture:

“Your adornment should not be an external one: braiding the hair, wearing old jewelry, or dressing in fine clothes, but rather the hidden character of the heart, expressed in the imperishable beauty of a gentle and calm disposition, which is precious in the sight of God.” ~~ 1 Peter 3:3

 "But the LORD said to Samuel: Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature, because
 I have rejected him.  God does not see as a mortal, who sees the appearance. The LORD looks into the heart." ~~ 1 Samuel 16:7
