My Current Makeup Routine + a Video!

I have been meaning to do this post for a very long time!  I love finding out about new makeup products and trying new things.  I feel like I currently use a lot of products and one day I know I’ll use less, but I do like the look these products create.

I did include a video clip at the end just explaining the order of my products and how I apply them.  It’s a very unprofessional video (as in, I don’t even have anything to hold my phone up ha), but I thought it might be helpful!

And I’ve included this video to explain in detail, so don’t judge!! 😂



Sense of Sarah: What I Eat in a Day

I really enjoy posts that allow a peek into a blogger’s life.  I find these things so fascinating (as do most of y’all), so I decided to document a day in the life of my meals.  But…

I almost didn’t post this today.  This was my third attempt at documenting what I eat in a day.  The first two were school days and I did great for my breakfast and snack, but then once lunch came, I totally forgot to take pictures.  And then when I decided to document yesterday since I was off of school, it was the least normal day eating-wise.  Totally not planned this way, but for the sake of showing you real life, here’s what I ate yesterday!

 I wake up every morning and have a Spark drink, and yesterday I slept in until 7.  I do this no matter what time I wake up–if it’s 5AM or 7AM.  When the morning become cold, I’ll start drinking coffee or hot tea, but right now when we still have summer weather, Spark it is!  I love that it’s light and refreshing and also gives me energy.


And then here’s where my day went wrong in the eating department haha.  I normally wait a few hours before eating breakfast every morning.  It’s extremely rare for me to wake up hungry.  Since yesterday was still part of my fall break, I went and took pictures of my sister and we had decided to treat ourselves to a cookie at one of our favorite cookie places.  And then we both felt extremely sick.  I had forgotten that when I’m eating healthy and then I eat something that isn’t healthy, it messes with my stomach.
 This cookie was good until it wasn’t 😂  I ate this at 10:30.

I felt so nauseous after eating that cookie that I went home and took a nap (I also didn’t feel good yesterday either).


 I woke up from my nap at 2:30 and take a hardboiled egg since I was hungry but it was past lunch time.


 Then at 3 I was still hungry so I decided to pop myself some popcorn.  I love flavoring my popcorn with the different salts and yesterday I chose the ranch.



 Dinner was at 6 and I made Shay’s Pumpkin-Sausage Pasta.  Dustin and I love eating this in the fall.  I change her recipe a bit when I make this and I do add a whole can of pumpkin instead of just a cup, and I use turkey breakfast sausage.



I had Dustin pick up a cold buster drink from Starbucks on his way home from work since I was still feeling terrible and had a sore throat.  I drank it after supper, and I don’t know what it is about that drink, but my throat felt so much better!


Okay, so you can see that this is not a typical day for me.  When it’s a school day, I eat breakfast, a small snack, lunch, another snack, and then supper.  I will try to do this again maybe next month and make sure that it’s going to be a normal day!

My Favorite Podcasts (….Right Now!)

I have become OBSESSED with podcasts in the last few months!  I feel like this is so crazy because I’m always such a music person, so it feels weird to be getting ready or cooking and listening to a podcast and not music.  But I’m not mad about it!

I realize now that I love learning, so listening to podcasts that allow me to learn while I’m busy driving or getting ready has been the best use of my time.  Now don’t get me wrong, I still listen to a lot of music 😂

Before I share what my favorite podcasts have been lately, I probably should tell you that I’m not one of those crime podcast listeners or anything like that.  I mean, I don’t even like to watch Dateline or anything like that on tv, so I’m not listening to it on a podcast haha!


This has been my FAVORITE episode that I’ve listened to lately, HANDS DOWN!  I actually ended up stopping the episode a few times to write down quotes.  Some of my favorites were: “Until I understand who God is, I can never understand who He has designed me to be.”  and “Sound doctrine yields sound living.”

If you listen to one episode this week, make it this one!

I listened to this while on the beach and cried 😂😂  I was thankful for sunglasses and a towel to wipe my tears on!

Jackie Hill Perry is my GIRL!  Love this episode of her!  I saw Jackie speak at The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference back in June and her teaching is strong!

Yes to this one, too!  So convicting–especially when they talk about repentance.



I love listening to Al Mohler each week day because he gives world news from a Christian point of view.


The Big Boo Cast is the podcast I want to listen to when I want a good laugh!  Some of my favorite episodes were when they discussed the royal wedding!  Sophie Hudson is one half of the duo in the podcast and she lives in Birmingham!!



I don’t listen to these weekly, but there have been many times when I have a few free minutes so I scroll through to find something I want to listen to.

This was the very first episode I listened to from Risen Motherhood and it was so impactful because we had just started taking Clomid and I know the Lord put that episode in my hands to help prepare me for what was to come.  I now listen to RM a lot in order to prepare for motherhood!!

I hope y’all have a wonderful Monday!  Our first day back to school with the kids is tomorrow, so I will see y’all back here on Friday!!
