Age appropriate modest

The struggle to find modest clothing that still makes me look my age is quite real for me. I don't know about you but this is something that I, as a Christian, struggle with. I am 20 years old but I definitely don't look it. I have been mistaken for a high schooler many times. I want to look professional but not in a way that makes me look younger. 

Modesty for me is saving things for your future or current husband. It means not showing things that your husband wouldn't want other men seeing. 

I've started to wear blazers mixed with graphic tees or nicer shirts. Depending on where I'm going. Thoughts?

Nail Art

Decided to try newspaper nail art and it came out quite well. 

Favorite Poem

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

Pope Francis I

Pope Francis has been in the news a lot lately. From the fact he was a bouncer at a bar in college (which I find cool and funny) to speculation that he leaves the Vatican at night to help the homeless.  He also posed for a picture with a bunch of young people.  He is becoming one of my favorite popes and favorite people.

He teaches us humility and service to the poor. He is a great example for the Catholic Church as well as for everyone else.

"Holiness doesn't mean doing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith."-Pope Francis Twitter

Book review: Rediscovering Catholicism

I recently read a really good book by Matthew Kelly called Rediscovering Catholicism. A few things in this book stood out to me. One is, "The philosophy of Christ is the ultimate philosophy of human happiness." God wants us to be happy; he wants us to live out lives in great joy. Another is that Catholicism is a lifestyle and not just a set of rules. A lot of my non-Catholic friends think all we do is restrict people from doing things and that all we do is follow tradition but this is not true. According to Matthew Kelly, it means striving to be like Christ and striving to transform oneself for the better. It is trying to become the best version of ourselves.

This is a great book that I advise Catholics and Christians alike to better understand the Catholic Faith.
