Have you ever felt not good enough, not pretty enough, not skinny or smart enough? I have and for such a long time I believed those lies. I let other people’s opinions define who I thought I was. It wasn’t until last year after facing a pretty scary diagnosis that I’ll share eventually did I not really learn who I am and what I am capable of. Our happiness and love starts within us. We have to love ourselves first and know that we are valuable and enough. Just because a relationship fails it doesn’t mean we weren’t enough. It means that the relationship or whatever situation that ended served its purpose. God wants the best for us. It took a very long time for me to finally understand that. Trying to negotiate with God got me no where. I had to surrender my will and that’s where the true power and healing is at. In surrendering to God I trusted him with my life. How liberating is that? You see no man nor material gains can sustain your happiness. Learn to be happy by knowing who you are as a person. Love yourself, learn from your experiences, be gentle with yourself, and trust God through your journey. You are more than enough!!

Hi my name is Marlene. I’ve always been very passionate about makeup, health, and fashion. As I got older that passion grew stronger, but what also grew was my passion for empowering single moms. I’m a single mom to a handsome, intelligent, and sweet young man name Jacob. He is truly my heart and the apple of my eye. I’ve wanted to start a blog for awhile now that would feature not only makeup, health, and fashion but everyday life. I want to be part of a community where women uplift and empower each other. You see my story wasn’t suppose to end this way. I was suppose to be happily married to a wonderful God fearing man, have 3 children, a great Nursing career, and a big beautiful home in the burbs with a white picket fence around it. So I thought!! Although all the desires of my heart have not yet been fulfilled I know that I am here for a purpose. I trust that God has a plan for me. With this blog I hope to inspire, empower, encourage, and bless women of all different walks. Please join me on this adventure we call life and lets learn from one another. I hope my blog allows and serves you a voice.
Blessings,
