As I was doing my hair and makeup yesterday, I got to thinking when I first was allowed to wear makeup and how my MOM showed me how to put it on. And also when MOM puts her makeup on, I usually hand it to her as we are in van. She always says I am like a nurse handing the surgeon his tools at an operation.

Some of the things she told me about applying make up was:
    When applying it around your eyes you use your ring finger and go in towards your nose on the bottom of your eye and out towards your temple on the top.  So that you make a complete clockwise circle around your eyes. Do not push hard when you do this. This process helps with reducing the bags around your eyes when you are older!! The reason you use your ring finger is it is the weakest of your fingers, so there is no pressure breaking the muscles under your eyes.
    And I have recently learned that when applying powder you should use a sponge and not brushes. The sponge blends the foundation with the powder evenly leaving it looking smooth and natural. When I was using the brushes I was told that I looked very powdery by many members of my family.  Now I have not had any remarks about my makeup so that is nice.
   
So with all the help from my MOM I have come to the conclusion that I am a lucky girl. I have a Mother of All Trades. 
My Mother  has been the following throughout her life:
Daughter
Wife
Mary Kay Consultant

Creative Memories Consultant

Shaklee Health Distibutor
Ministries Leader (Womens, Childrens, Worship, Moms, and more that I can’t think of right now!)
Homeschool Book Seller
Singer
Chauffeur
Garden Tender
Home Birth Expert
Childrearing Expert
Homeschool Expert
Accountant
Cook and Hostess or waitress @ KFC & Golden Corral, and - ew... Burger King!
Chocolate Luver

    And the best and most important of all: A Loving Mother of All Trades!!
    She uses those things she learned in every day life as a

Mother of All Trades.
    She taught me about makeup, she taught me how to cook, she taught me alot of health and nutrition, she knows about what homeschooling resources to use, she provides for our family by planting and tending a HUGE garden!! And to LUV chocolate!!
    Everyday she tries to be more like the Proverbs 31 Woman and most of the time she exceeds in this.
    She does everything in her power to protect us from harm, both physical and spiritual, helps me to become the Proverbs 31 Woman that my family will need. She makes sure we have everything we need.
    Yes, she does have her HORRIBLE days, but she comes out stronger and more equipped for the next time she has a HORRIBLE day!!
    I know we have our rough times, but I am thankful that she is my

                                   Mother of All Trades

That's great you love your mom so much! You don't like Burger King!! Shocking!
I love my mother a ton too!
Sometimes it's hard being a Proverbs 31 woman, isn't it? That's what i'm striving to be though, someone that my husband and children and most importantly, God, can be proud of.
Have a great chocolatey day!
