secondhand fashion week!



I was just thinking how I love when I come across a good find at a second-hand store. I recently bought a shirt, shoes, and belt for $5.50! All this to say that the AmandaBeth blog is hosting an event to begin in March in which participants can showcase their frugal fashion finds! It should be a lot of fun and result in some really neat outfits. Do check it out and mark the date!

authentic beauty online course

Hi Friends!

The on-site Authentic Beauty course ended this past Friday and it went very well. One of the girls that attended is from a nearby island and her family here said that the week was probably the best of her life! Can you believe that?

During the course of the week not only did we learn about health, fitness, social graces, and personal style, but I was able to teach about the Lord and share the Gospel every day! I pray that the ground was fertile and that the seeds planted will really grow.


Well, with that now coming to a close, a lot of my attention is now turned to the online course for which I'm very excited! We have quite a few ladies signed up and it's not too late to register. ;-)




With love,

a call to modesty in the church

Maybe an unconventional way to go about it; regardless, a good challenge to the church (especially us girls) on a somewhat sensitive issue . You have to admire that.





"There’s an inseparable link between your heart and your clothes. Your clothes say something about your attitude. If they don’t express a heart that is humble, that desires to please God, that longs to serve others, that’s modest, that exercises self-control, then change must begin in the heart."

"For modesty is humility expressed in dress. "

exciting news about the Authentic Beauty online course!


The Authentic Beauty on-site and online courses are underway! The AuthBeau course team has been working diligently in preparation, designing, video shooting, researching, and the like. All this to provide a quality program designed to enhance your life, challenge you, and help you to be beautiful not only on the outside, but most importantly, on the inside where it counts!

Things that will thoroughly studied are:
}Health (eating properly, sleep schedules, vitamins...)
}Fitness (exercise routines, lifestyle, habits...)
}Hygiene (proper skin, hair, and nail care...)
}Personal Style (a total body evaluation: the most complimentary hairstyle for your facial shape, how to dress for your body shape, the best clothing colors for your skin tone, getting the most out of your wardrobe, "what to where when...")
}Social Graces (introductions, dining out, giving gifts, writing notes, writing letters, phone etiquette, hosting events, being a good guest, public speaking...)

I'd love to host the online course simultaneously to the hands-on, on-site event; however, I don't think I will be able to effectively pull it off. You can bet, though, that I'll be posting updates on how the event is coming!

For the online course you will need to register. I will be sending you lessons and assignments daily via e-mail ). Please e-mail me (Abby1211@gmail.com) so I can send you a registration e-form.

Because it's our first go around, this course is free, but if you would like to donate to AuthBeau you are more than welcome to do so! Proceeds will go to help further the AuthBeau vision of encouraging authentic beauty in young woman through camps, classes, and other resources.

I can't tell you how excited I am!

beauty: God's idea

Wow, I am so amazed at the awesome world God has created.





If you type "beautiful nature" in google search, this is what you will find:







What a loving God we have. It's impossible to not see the beauty in it all and to
recognize that God is the Creator of beauty in all it's forms.
We appreciate that which is readily recognizable to our eyes, but looking closer we can see
beauty abounding in fullness in a thing we call service-
service prompted by love, done in joy, and given with no strings attached.
We can see beauty in a thing called praise.
Praise given in adoration to the maker of the rain.
What is this love that takes place between a man and a woman? God designed it Himself, and deemed it the perfect representation of Christ, the bridegroom, and His bride, the church.
The beauty of sweet fellowship- friends that stick closer than a brother.
The joy of discovery and learning. Diving deeper to understand the creation we live in, and all there that abounds.
The unmistakable miracle of life- how it happens, why it happens...

it's beautiful.
