10 Favorites: Blog Edition

Happy Tuesday followers! I hope you all have had a splendid day today. If you live in the midwest you are probably not loving all the snow we are getting right now, unless you're me and can stay inside all day and just relax :)

So I would like to start doing "favorites" posts, I hope this is something you guys would like to see.  I ill do different things such as makeup, movies, songs, Iphone/Ipod apps, etc., and today I will be doing my favorite blogs to follow. I hope you all will check out these blogs and follow along with them. They have all inspired me in different ways. Whether it be through hair, makeup, or God. These are in no particular order, just my top 10 favorite blogs!

1. The first blog I love following is Kandee Johnson's makeup blog (http://www.kandeej.com/). She is also on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/kandeejohnson), feel free to subscribe to her channel ans check out all of her tutorials, reviews, and hauls she has. She has been through many troubles and hardships and is very inspiring for her followers. Please go check out her blog and her YouTube channel and subscribe to keep seeing more of her videos. She's absolutely amazing!

2. My next favorite blog is still on Kandee but it is her personal blog (http://kandeelandkandeeland.blogspot.com/). She has 4 adorable children and she loves to post such fun things like her children's "favorites" videos, cooking tutorials, and just simply adorable things about her life with her children. She has a Youtube channel for her personal life as well, her vlog, (http://www.youtube.com/user/thekandeejohnsonshow). Subscribe to that and let her precious little children brighten your day!

3. The third blog I love following is another lady I found off of YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/emilynoel83). Her name is Emily Eddington and she is another makeup guru (http://www.beautybroadcast.net/.) She use to work as a morning news anchor but her YouTube channel became such a success that it was to much for her to work 2 full time jobs and fit in time to see her husband. She was able to quit her job as a news anchor and is now working full time as a YouTuber. She's so down to earth and is easily relate able to anyone and everyone. She also has a super cute kitty named "Cupcake", love that name for any animal, ha ha! 

4. This next one is a blog written by a very special woman whom I know personally. (http://kristinjonfbk.tumblr.com/). She talks about the hardships, struggles, but even the over comings she's had going through life and trying to become more of a godly woman. I love reading her posts because she is so open with her readers. She shows her true self and isn't afraid of letting everyone know that she has been and still is broken, but everyone is. I would love if you would all check out her blog and let her know what an inspiration she is for many.

5. This next blog is written by a group/ministry that recently started up and actually includes the woman that I just talked to you guys about in my number 4 favorite blog to read (http://footstepsforgrace.wordpress.com/). This group is made up of four amazing people, plus God. They post different things that have been laid on their hearts by God and they feel should be told to the world. They also accept prayer requests so if you have anything that you want people to pray for please don't hesitate to send a request to them. You can also follow them on their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/FootstepsForGrace?fref=ts) or their website (http://footstepsforgrace-com.webs.com/) as another way to stay updated with the different missions they are taking, people they are helping,  prayer requests that are being made, and you can also donate money to them so that they can keep helping all those people. 

6. This next blogger is another lady from YouTube, go figure right? Ha Ha! (http://www.makeupbyalli.com/). Her name is Alli and she is another one that inspires me through her makeup. She's no natural that it's just so easy for me to relate to her and to just love watching her videos. She does very natural looking, simple, just plain pretty makeup tutorials that would be easy for any person to do. If you would like to subscribe to her YouTube channel and see all the wonderful things she does with makeup here's the link, (http://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupByAlli/videos?view=0).

7. This next blog I talked about in one of my past posts (http://justacloserwalkwiththeekc.blogspot.com/2013/02/alchemist.html). He is a photographer, but not just any old digital or film photographer, no siree! He invented his own type of camera!! He uses sheets of metal with different chemicals to make the picture stick to the metal. Here's the link to his blog, (http://ianruhter.tumblr.com/). He struggles everyday with making his dreams come true and wants to give up most of the time when things don't turn out the way he had hoped but he pushes through and the finished products are absolutely breathtaking. Here is a link to his website, check it out, read his story, watch his videos, and you can even buy prints of some of his pictures he takes, (http://www.ianruhter.com/). He is also a regular photographer, taking pictures with a normal digital camera, and he actually took the pictures of Kandee Johson (above ^). Not the second picture I posted but the first picture of her blowing the bubbles, which I think is a stunningly beautiful photograph.

8. This next young lady I found on Tumblr, she is from the UK and she is an inspiration to me in a different sort of way then most people would think, we are both in LOVE with the color PINK!! (http://fortheloveof-pink.tumblr.com/). She is obsessed with the color pink, just like me :). She even created her own business through her love of this color, (http://buypink.co.uk/). You can log onto this website and she has links to where you can buy everything pink! From digital cameras and laptops to dog food bowls and cat beds. She will always try to get you the best deal that's out there. So if you love the color pink just as much as her and I please go check out here website and help her continue to pursue her passion!

9. This next one isn't a blog, per say, but it's a website, (http://www.cutegirlshairstyles.com/), and YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/CuteGirlsHairstyles) that I love to follow. This woman's name is Mindy and she creates so many different cute and fun hairstyles on her daughters. Her passion for hair is so amazing and she is such a creative person that I am envious and jealous every time I log onto YouTube to watch a video of hers, ha ha! She shows you in her videos exactly how to do the hairstyles and even ways that you can alter them to make them your own. Her steps are so easy to follow and I've actually been able to do some of them on my own, which I was so pumped about! Her girls are absolutely adorable and she even has two children that she has adopted, which I think is so wonderful. There are so many children out there that need loved and need a family. They share the story about adopting their son on their website and I hope you will check that out. If you are thinking about adoption as a way you would like to go to have children please read her story and even contact her with your questions because I know she would more then happy to help you out! She also has a gallery on her website of all of the hairdo's she has done, not only on her children but on herself as well. If you click on the picture it will have a blog post type thing about where she got the inspiration from, what tools are required to make this look, and the steps she took to create it.

10. The last blog I will tell you about comes from another YouTube find, (http://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupByTiffanyD), ha ha! Her name is Tiffany and she does makeup and hair and is super sweet and relateable, (http://www.makeupbytiffanyd.blogspot.com/). She just posted a tutorial today on how to get Reese Witherpoon's hair that she had at the Oscars, which was fabulous by the way. If you didn't get to see her hair you should definitely check it out, everyone is saying that she had the best hair that night, by far! Tiffany not only shows us how to get the natural looks but she also shows us more dramatic looks that we can use when we go out at night or just want a more dramatic look for something. She also shows us different ways to paint your nails and she is so creative with what she comes up with!! I thought I was a creative person but after watching this lady I don't think so highly of myself anymore, ha ha!! Please check out her blog and subscribe to her channel, oh and by the way she has the absolute cutest dog ever!! She shows him as a puppy in her earlier videos and now he is grown and is so cute. You can see him in some of her videos "video" bombing in the backgroud, he he! :)
