Big News| Business Campaign

October 21, 2013 ~ Sophie ~ 3 Comments

I love when I have a direction of where I am going and this past month has been a whirlwind of random events but after it all, my mind is settled. Anyways, the big news is that:

I have been ranting a lot about starting a small business and the hardships of starting one(cause I have gone through it all, I think!) and now after much prayer, editing, reviewing business plans and ideas, our(me and my sister) campaign has gone live!

We are raising money to kick-start our photography business here and it would be a dream come true if all the funds are raised and operations started.

I am so excited and nervous all at the same time but being able to take this step and challenge in my life(had to battle with myself!) has taught me valuable lessons and I cant wait to see what will happen!

So Rare Beauty Readers, please help support our campaign on Indiegogo. I have put a link in the sidebar to direct you to the campaign.

I wish you all the best of luck and thanks

Have a great new week

Did you know that you can buy a bracelet to save a Child’s life. yes you heard right. You can buy a bracelet and have a chance to save a Child’s heart.We all desire to give hope, comfort, love, and joy to the people around us

It is disheartening to know that even little kids are suffering because of the huge sinful nature!

Nouvi Nomi is a bracelet making company that supports the health of these little adorable kids who are in pain. As much as I would love to buy one, I can’t(complicated situations), but I urge you my friends to buy a bracelet and save a child’s life so that this world can become a better place.

Check out more about how you can get involved at their website here

Share the love,

Giveaways| Lessons Learned

October 14, 2013 ~ Sophie ~ 2 Comments

No, this is not a giveaway and yes I would like to do one someday but I am still working out the technicalities that come with hosting one. I like entering giveaways. The possibility that i could actually win the items is fun haha.I have never really thought I can win, I just enter for fun…with my fingers crossed. Anyways, I entered two giveaways a couple of months ago that had items I really(REALLY) wanted. I remember praying really hard and having sleepless nights (that bad!). So I waited and waited and waited with fingers still crossed. I made a promise to God that if he (at least) lets me get one item, I would do something in return. To make the long story short, I broke my promise. I felt bad. At that moment I had the slightest flicker of doubt. Maybe I wasn’t going to get any of these items…I mean really whom did I think I was. I went back to the sites and re-read about the giveaways and discovered I couldn’t get them after all reasons being: at the time of entrance, there were already 1000+ entries, the giveaways weren’t international and so I had no chance whatsoever. Although I never got anything, I did learn my lesson. I would like to compare giveaways to prayers we pray. We ask God to do the extraordinary but actually lack the faith to believe in our prayers to believe what we ask for will actually happen. We desperately ask God to answer our prayers but we still doubt his goodness. We stop and think ‘can God really do this for me?’ Maybe I have asked too much, maybe I have asked too little , maybe I don’t deserve it… The Bible says that… even faith as big a s a mustard seed (which by the way I got to see recently and its amazingly small) can move mountains(Matt 17:20) . We are told to ask and it shall be given to us but one thing we need to learn is to ask wholeheartedly without any doubts. I think what we lack most of the time is confidence. Confidence that God is in control and knows what is best for us. Having that confidence is a result of actually taking the effort to know him better as a personal friend. I can’t say I have confidence(because I don’t) but I am hoping and praying for that confidence to trust in his will, sincerely. 🙂 Sophie
