help!

Missions training is from June 3 - June 25th...but it's only 2 nights a week (more or less). This means that I have a lottttttttttt of free time.

I need something to do in the daytime. ANYTHING. The problem is, I don't know if I can find places that are 1) willing to hire for less than a month, and 2) even hiring. Since I'll be out of state until June 2, I can't apply in person for retail/bakeries until I get back... and by the time I interview and get trained, I'm off to missions!

What should I do?!??!? I really don't want to do nothing all summer long. I've already been doing that all semester long, and I think it's about time I move on. Plus, I should make some money so I stop bleeding my (aka my parents') bank account.

Ideas?!?! Connections?? Help !!!

I need to fully grasp the meaning of this statement: "I am a sinner saved by grace."

stress stress go away!

I need to get rid of stress, for many, many, many reasons. I'm surprised at how much of my life is affected by stress. I don't think I even realize how my stress level influences countless aspects of my mental, physical, and emotional health. 

Why am I stressed? Honestly, I don't really know. I manage it by getting 8 hours of sleep a night, go to the gym 3x a week, eat a pretty healthy, balanced diet, and make sure I do "fun" stuff like bake, shop, chill out outside. And yet, even with classes only 2 days/week and stuff, I'm still not at peace.

Someone shed some light on my situation? Thanks.

The power of moisturizing!!!!

A few weeks ago, some members of my missions team got into a conversation about whether we moisturize our skin every day after we shower. Susan does, and we compared her skin to someone who didn't. I wouldn't have expected this, but her skin actually was notably softer! (There was also a comment made about the butt being the most important part to be moisturized, but that conversation can be saved for later)

I never really lotioned my body after showering every day because I didn't really think that it would make that much of a difference for my skin. Plus, I'm kinda lazy. But, after coming back from Puerto Rico (lots of harmful sun) and now being back in this dry, wintry weather, I've decided to give my skin some pampering. And boy, let me tell you ... it makes a HUGE difference!! My skin is so much softer, and the complexion looks much healthier as well.

I bought a new moisturizer today from Whole Foods, the Kiss My Face Chinese Botanical ultra moisturizer ;) It's really light and non-greasy, and already I feel my skin absorbing all the nutrients! Yay for super soft, healthy-looking skin! Next time, I'm gonna buy lotion with SPF in time for summer to keep my skin protected from harmful rays.  Yaaaaaay!
