Givers Need a Time of Refreshing

Kimberly — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 23:12:37 +0000

When you are an intrinsic giver, a gift I like to think God bestows on special people, sometimes you just give way too much of yourself… …at the end of the day, you have nothing left to fuel yourself on anymore…Drained by the world, what they want from you, what they need, on their terms… …Trust in God, not man. Give man (the world) and inch, and they’ll take a mile from you… Photo left: Model: Kimberly Edwards; photo: Clee Images; Hair: Jenny Dekker & Amanda Forde; MUA: Kimberly Edwards; Styling: Kimberly Edwards; Jewelry: “K, Turn Around” Jewelry by Kimberly Edwards; Agency: Kapow Models & Talent Agency …Save a little something for you to keep you sane, and use it as the seed that allows you to recharge…because, as a giver, you try and find every possible way to give to your family, loved ones, friends, and even strangers… …If you’re not in the right place, you are of no help to anyone, which is exactly what your goal is as a giver…to help, love, support, encourage, motivate, provide for, be there for, comfort, and simply to let people know, “I See You!”… …As a person who gives, this is your life’s greatest success…this is what drives you and gives you satisfaction for your soul & your heart, and gives Glory to the God who blessed you with this innate drive… Unseasoned givers are often not great receivers themselves…In fact, it’s one of the most difficult things for a giver to do…it’s not in our nature. It’s difficult to accept the same blessings we bestow on others…When we do receive, it’s often with a sense of guilt. A wise, wise woman that I was blessed to have in my life told me that when God sends you a blessing, and you repeatedly won’t receive them, they may become fewer. Learn to swallow your pride, and accept your blessings in stride. Photo right: Model: Bianka Bargmann; Stylist: Kimberly Edwards; Agency: Kapow Models & Talent Agency Life, in every way, is a two way street. Traffic should be going in both directions… Are you a person who gives of yourself, or are you more of a receiver? Givers need love too…Which are you? Ponder that today… *** I hope you take this Life post to heart on Livin`Like Kimberly Edwards.

So Ready for a Vacation!

Kimberly — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:17:10 +0000

That’s right, people… …This girl is ready for a vacation – somewhere exotic, warm, beautiful, far away on a beach somewhere! Maybe on a mountaintop somewhere or in a ski lodge… Honestly, I just need a little time “out of the ordinary”…the usual grind online, researching real estate or making shoots… …just a little down-time! So, I’ve been looking around onine at some deals for all kinds of vacations – all-inclusive or otherwise. What I found was unbelievable deals, especially from British Airways, right out of Toronto! They’re having their November Seat Sale right now they’re calling a “world sale”… I usually fly out of Buffalo for convenience and lower prices, so finding deals out of Toronto, like round trips to London, England for $386 or to Paris for $494, I nearly fell out of my chair, literally. How about a flight to Cairo, Egypt for $654? These are the vacations I’m talking about… Honestly, we couldn’t go “Up North” in Ontario for cheaper than that!!! Actually, I have my eyes on a vacation to Maldives for $928. That’s my idea of paradise… Plus, you can get an “Upgraded” experience with 200+ entertainment options. You’ll also get British Airways’ world class service including complimentary food and cocktails on all flights and some of the most comfortable seats in the industry. They can also help you plan the best holiday experience for you and your desired destination. However, you must book by November 19th! That’s the only catch. What’s your idea of the perfect getaway? Sign me up! I’m ready to go! I just talked with my hubby about booking a trip…Check it out for yourselves & get your own trip! LOL *** I hope you enjoyed this Life post on Life of Kimberly Edwards!

Solar Power is the New Hotness

Kimberly — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:05:45 +0000

My husband and I are about to buy a house that will need electrical repair – almost a re-do. So, instead of repairing it traditionally, we’re taking the opportunity to completely exchange the old system out for solar lighting and electricity. Now, you may not have that opportunity, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use solar powered items to be more green, and save on electricity costs. Whether you’re looking for functional security lights or decorative, festive lights for any occassion, you’ll be helping to save the planet with renewable solar energy that will save you money in the long run too. Only just recently, they’ve started selling really beautiful solar powered lights that work really well and are durable from places like Outdora. Solar lights don’t just look like your parents’ old Noma Moonrays of old. They now come in some extremely elaborate, vibrant and glitzy designs with color-changing LED lights that bejewel and illuminate your outdoor space and make it your very own paradise at night time. I’ve never seen these solar planters before. What a neat idea! They come in several colors – 6 to be exact – and can be used electrically or with solar power. An unexpected surprise in your garden or on your patio… Go on, have fun in your outdoor space, choose something fun and functional that will make you smile each and every time you look outside at your solar powered lights that are also inspiring garden art. Entertain your friends with a beautiful ambiance that’s unsurpassed in your lounging space… …And if you order from Outdora, you’ll receive free ground shippng on your inspiring outdoor pieces. All of their solar lighting is durable and weather-resistant to last for many years and many happy nights enjoying them. *** I hope you enjoyed this Tip on Life of Kimberly Edwards!

How to Apply Eyeliner

Kimberly — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:19:41 +0000

I’m posting a helpful article from Alexis Gould today to help everyone with their eyeliner application and to let them know what options they have by way of different types of eyeliners. Personally, I don’t wear much eyeliner, only liquid above the upper lashes in everyday life. However, when I’m at a shoot, the make up artists I work with use a wide array of eyeliners and applications. Check it out: Eyeliners 101 – How to Apply Pencil, Liquid, Fluid and Powder Eyeliners By Alexis Gould There are four most common types of eye liners – pencil, liquid, fluid, and powder. This article will provide a brief overview of these four products including the pros and cons of using each of these liners. Pencil Eyeliner: This is the stuff you used back when you were in your teens and first started to experiment with makeup. It’s easy to use and can be manipulated to produce lots of different effects. For example, you can create a daytime look by applying clean lines, or you can create an evening look by smudging it for the smoky eye effect. You can use it on both your upper and lower lash line, and they usually come in a wide variety of colours. I find they also last pretty long too, you can use it even if it’s just down to the last stub. The only problem is that they tend to smudge (especially during summer when we sweat more) but a trick to prevent that is to apply a neutral shade shadow below your lower lash line to absorb the oil and/or sweat. I also tend to avoid black pencil liners and go for espresso or dark plum shades, simply because I find the black to be fairly overwhelming and tends to create a Goth-ish look. Liquid Eyeliner: Liquid liners are used when you want a dramatic effect, because the colours pigments are fairly intense. But that doesn’t mean they cannot be used for a daytime effect. Liquid liners are either brush-tipped or soft or hard felt-tipped. I personally prefer the felt-tip as it is easier to manipulate. Soft tips feel better on the skin around your eyes, but hard tips offer more precision, so it really depends on your preference. I usually do a little wing at the outer edge of my eyes, and when I use the hard tip I work from the outside in. Liquid lines are great for creating bigger looking eyes, especially in the black shade, but I have also seen fun shades like turquoise and gold floating around. The downside to liquid liners is that they are harder to use than pencils, and they often tend to run/flake. I have waterproof liners but they still seem to flake by the end of the day. But if I just wear for a couple hours in an evening out they always stay very well. Fluid Liner: Fluid liners occupy a middle ground between liquid liner and a pencil liner. They [...]

RedBox Rocks!

Kimberly — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:26:44 +0000

Have you tried using a Red Box yet? RedBox is a machine, often found in or outside of your local grocery stores, convenience stores, super stores or drug stores that you can rent newly released and classic movie DVDs for $1 per night. You have to use your credit card, so be prepared. You scroll through that machine’s collection and choose your movie(s) for the night. You’ll receive it out of a little slot in the machine, which is also where you’ll return the DVD to. You will be charged $1 per night, so be aware of that while you have the rental DVD out. Yes, it knows your information too because you have to register with your credit card before you can rent. It’s an automated touch screen, so it’s really easy to use. Try it out and Enjoy Discounted Movie Rentals! *** I hope you enjoyed this Movie post on Life of Kimberly Edwards! Until next time… I Am & Will Continue To Be, Kimberly Edwards P.S.

Have You Heard of NetSpend?

Kimberly — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 01:20:53 +0000

Many of us, these days, either choose not to have a traditional bank account, don’t have the minimum required deposit for opening an account, especially in this economy, or just simply want to stay away from confusing fee structures and statements. Did you know they do credit checks at many banks before they’ll let you open any kind of account? Okay, so, they want to check me over so I can give them my money to hold…Does that make sense to you? Maybe you’re a teenager who wants to handle your own banking and spending of your allowance or part time job money. Maybe you’re about to travel and want your loose money to be more secure. Well, NetSpend is a Prepaid Credit Card that let’s you do just that – all of the above. It’s a credit card, either a Visa or Mastercard, you manage by loading money onto it. Virtually anyone can get one and can use it for purchases either around town or around the internet. If you have any of the issues above and just don’t want a regular bank account, this is the way of the future! *** I hope you enjoyed this Tip on Life of Kimberly Edwards!

Keep Your Teeth White Even When Drinking Tea

Kimberly — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:24:50 +0000

How Can I Keep My Teeth White & Still Drink Tea? A predicament I’m often in – Especially with Homemade Chai Tea! I love to drink tea!!! It’s probably my favorite beverage right after water… …But I model and often have close ups on my teeth…They have to be white too! What Do I Do? Well, a little known fact is that you can put a bit of milk in your tea – that’s all you need. Why Does This Work? Well, it’s the tannins in your tea that cause your teeth to discolor. Milk binds with the tannins and actually, coagulates them, making them unable to settle on your teeth. Isn’t that fabulous? Yes!!! However, if you drink your tea with lemon in it, don’t put milk or cream in your tea because the lemon will actually curdle your milk or cream and cause chunks in your tea that are really not aesthetically or texturally pleasing. Also, be sure to brush your teeth after you’re done drinking your tea to ensure any tannins leftover won’t stain your teeth. If you’re a tea drinker, it’s also important to floss because tea stains don’t care what surface of your teeth they discolor. When the in-between surfaces of your teeth get stained it makes your teeth look a lot less white too. Be sure to floss regularly! *** I hope this Beauty Tip was helpful to you on Life of Kimberly Edwards! Until next time… I Am & Will Continue To Be, Kimberly Edwards P.S.

Bored of Your Bikinis?

Kimberly — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:28:37 +0000

What I often like to do when I’m getting bored of my choice of bikinis, especially when traveling, is mix and match tops and bottoms. Just about anything goes by way of fashion at the beach. So, just make sure you have similar materials for the tops and bottoms and you’re good to go. I especially make sure I pick up basic bikinis without patterns in many different colors, so I can mix and match when I get bored. Try matching a basic top or bottom with a patterned opposite, or pick 2 basic colors for each piece. Neons and hot pinks are great choices this summer. Also, be sure to check out the end of season sales or off season sales for individual pieces at greatly discounted prices. You don’t need an entire bikini, just get pieces and match them up later! This is great fun too! *** I hope you enjoyed this Fashion post on Life of Kimberly Edwards! Until next time… I Am & Will Continue To Be, Kimberly Edwards P.S.
