I Confess

Yippee, it's confessing time. Have I told you that I love this bi-weekly link up with Agape Love Designs and Let It Shine.  Of course I have because this has to be my favorite post to write and my favorite link up.

I CONFESS...

I love writing these posts because I can just type random confession after confession and they usually just flow. 

I am super excited that this is my 100th post!! It's been a struggle for me to keep up with my blog but I continue to push through. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

I begin to type this while me and Mr. Aguila were watching Wolverine.

I am not much of a movie watcher because I have a short attention span.  I usually lose interest easily and can't focus so I figured this is a great time to type up my blog.

I got stuck on the movie and starting typing this after the movie was done.  It is a good movie, have you seen it?

The movies that I seriously love and have to see at the theater are Fast and Furious movies. To be honest, I was really sad to hear about Paul Walker.  I am not sure how I feel about watching the movie next year.

I am not really big on following celebrities and stuff. I found out Paul Walkers name once he died. 

I am finally getting into Christmas mode but we haven't gotten a Christmas tree. 

Last week was my nephews birthday and my sister in love's birthday (my baby (nephews') momma. I was on birthday mode for them but celebrations were successful and now over so Christmas let's do this.

I love everything about this time of the year but most of all,  Jesus is the reason for the season.  While I love the gifts, family time and the food, I try not to get consumed and forget the real meaning of Christmas.

Mr. Aguila and I finally did some Christmas shopping tonight after our dinner date.  We hit Victoria's Secret and Ross and while I was shopping for myself, we did manage to get some gifts out of the way.

I am really obsessing over leggings right now and I found some solid colored ones at Ross for really cheap. I follow this shop on instagram, Kika La'Rue and I seen and reposted these leggings/tights that I fell in love with for my Christmas outfit but they are sold out.

After I posted them I was able to get them locally from my awesome friend Isela's Accessories & More and now I am hoping that she can get me these I seen on @ curlycraftymom who shared she got them at Lundy Jane's boutique. I checked and they aren't available, sad face!!

Aren't these cute??

As you know, I love to shop and even though I am always shopping for myself, I also enjoy shopping for others. 

I joined some awesome bloggers for #ZabrinaSecretSanta and also doing Cara Box.  Have you heard of these?  Are you participating in any of these? Click the links to meet the awesome bloggers that organize these swaps.

Speaking of swaps, Maria-Isabel of Agape Love Designs and I did a swap, just because a couple months ago, (you can view our box reveals on KEEK, @ mrsaguila09 and @ agapelovegirl ) My confession on this is that it was my first swap ever and I totally sucked at it!!! I felt so bad that I had to send her out a second box a couple weeks ago.  I did send her everything on her wish list and just a couple extras BUT in comparison to what I received from her, my box was skimpy BUT I am pretty sure the second box made up for it.

I now feel I am prepared for my next swap. I have more insight on this, thanks Maria-Isabel.  Have you done a beauty swap?

There is still time to enter this sweet cash giveaway,  $500 CASH GIVEAWAY.

http://faithhopeandtreasures.blogspot.com/2013/12/500-cash-giveaway.html

I want to do a Captain Hook, make up Monday look but I am still not sure what I will use.  I have so many eye shadow pallets that I am sure I can come up with something.

My weekend was very chill, thank God! Mr. Aguila doesn't have class on Saturdays right now. This photo sums up Life as Mrs. Aguila on a Saturday morning.  My hubby (he still draws for me), my coffee and marshmallows.  Be Happy and Always Forgive Treasures.

 
It is now Sunday afternoon and I am barely finishing up this post while watching the Dallas Cowboys game, so yeah just a bit distracted.

Hope you had an awesome weekend. God bless you treasures. May this week be stress free and full of faith, hope and treasures as well love, peace and joy.

I Confess Once Again

Hi there Treasures, I am finally sitting down in front of my computer which is actually a Surface so technically it's a tablet.

Anyway, I am going to do some confessing and link up with Agape Love Designs and Let it Shine. As I say every other week, I love doing these posts and love reading others as well. If you have some confessing to do, join the link up or leave me some confession comments.

Mrs. Aguila confesses...

I am so tired and really want to be asleep but I have really sucked at blogging these days so I wanted to get this in before I turn in for the night.

I like loathe washing dishes. I just washed a sink full of dishes before sitting down to blog because even though I hate washing dishes I hate having dishes sitting in the sink. Ah, wifey problems.

I am one of those that say I will start my "diet" and working out on Monday and then when I don't, I wait until the next Monday to say that all over again. I still have not got back on that fitness wagon, but I really want to. I am aiming to start my Monday off with Shakeology for breakfast.

I am seriously needing to get this adorable mug from the Starbucks Store.


I haven't been doing so well on my no spend November especially since finding out about this marriage workshop.

I ordered some items from some great online shops. Here's the details on what I picked up.

Since I love me some coffee, when I seen these Thanks a Latte cards by Eva Marie Taylor on her Instagram, I just knew I had to order them.  You can order them from her shop here. Make sure to check out the other items in her shop.

LIKE ON FACEBOOK FOR UPDATES ON THE SHOP

I also finally ordered my hair pretties from Mila Rose Designs. I wish I could order one of each item from this shop however I confess, I am clueless as to how to wear them. So until I learn, the ones I already own will sit pretty (with all the other stuff I buy and stash away) and I will hold off on ordering more. If you have any tips, let me know.

LIKE ON FACEBOOK FOR UPDATES ON THE SHOP

And last but not least I ordered some jewelry from Litva's Jewelry.  I love her Instagram account, be sure to follow her and stop by her shop. I love my bracelet and this ring is beautiful.

LIKE ON FACEBOOK FOR UPDATES ON THE SHOP

Since I started blogging, I have met some really talented ladies.  These are all handmade shops.  You can follow these ladies' blogs here
Eva Marie Taylor /// Mila Rose Designs ///  Litva's Jewelry

I am not getting paid to promote this lovely ladies and their shops. I just like to share the love. These ladies are a pleasure to deal with and I know I will order from them again.

I had no intentions of making this post a commercial but I am glad I did.

By now I am super sleepy and I need sleep.
I will posting about my lippie collection for Make Up Monday tomorrow.

I CONFESS AGAIN

Hello God’s lovely treasures. So it’s Saturday which means it’s time for Friday’s confessions.  Confession Time Linky Party with Maria-Isabel of Agape Love Design and also Michelle of Let It Shine.  Be sure to visit them and read what they are confessing.

 

 I confess that I like joining linky parties and blog hops.  This one here is one of my favorites.  It is a time to just let some stuff off your mind.  Join us by writing up your own confessions.

I confess that this week I was sick with fever, chills, nausea, headache and vomiting and I think because of the pressure from vomiting I bruised my head somehow.  Has that ever happen to you? My head was hurting for like 3 days straight. I had to miss w0rk as well. No fun at all.

I confess, I enjoy watching UFC with Mr. Aguila.  I don’t like seeing all the blood but there’s some good fights that are better than boxing plus we wait until they are showing for free on Xbox Live.

I confess, I am so happy my grand daddy is back from his 3 week vacation to Zacatecas, Mexico.  At 89 years old, he still travels which is good BUT we like him home instead. 

I confess, on Monday I am back on Shakeology and working out. Hold me accountable. I really need it.  The holidays are coming up and I don’t want to gain all my weight back so I have to get back at it.

I confess, I have some bushy eyebrows (with some white ones growing in also).  I get my eyebrows threaded not waxed.  I have been going to the same girl for over 5 years. She is not near my house so sometimes I cheat on her but this time I didn’t want to cheat but had no time to drive to her so I waited like three weeks and this is the result and it is NOT cute at all.

I confess when I have my eyebrows done, I want to do my make up more.  I have been doing my make up but haven’t taken any pictures to share with you and I am a little bummed ab0ut that.  I secretly wonder how some of you amazing bloggers share pictures of yourself everyday or almost everyday.

I confess, I got wrecked at church yesterday. Worship was so good and pretty much sobbed the entire service. His reminder of His great love for me just really messes me up (In A Good Way).  Just thinking how the creator of this universe loves me and calls me His daughter.  What a blessing, what a privilege.  It is something I don’t deserve but in His grace, He gives it to me. He shows it to me. He tells me of His love for me and in that moment I just can’t stay the same.

I confess, that I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams. I have so much to be thankful for and God’s love gives me perspective.  I must seek Him and His kingdom FIRST, THEN everything else will be added unto me.  I can’t think once I get this or once I get that THEN I will know He loves me. God has loved me since before I was in my mother’s womb and He already knew me as well. My part is to accept His love and place no conditions or restrictions on His amazing love.

So here are my confessions. Thanks for stopping by today. May God's love chase you down today.

More October Confessions

Happy Friday sweet Treasures!! It is  Confessional Friday with  Agape Love Designs and Let it ShineBlog.  I just love this linky party, don’t you?  I always have so much to confess, after all this linky party is every other week.

This is my free time to get it all out and then read what others are confessing. 

I CONFESS…

I totally drew a blank once I started to type.

I love, love the weekend.

I am really loving Fall weather in California, especially at night.

I haven’t been going to my regular church for a couple of weeks now and I miss it.

I have church tonight and all of a sudden I feel so sleepy that I want to go home and take a nap but I won’t.

Since I have a couple hours before church starts, I am going to do some shopping instead of going home to nap.

I have been shopping like crazy, mostly online.

I have only ordered 1 out of the 3 things I posted about here on my last October Confessions.

I ordered this set from A Little Piece of Me Shop.

Salena is the sweet designer behind this shop and you can check out her blog and stalk her on social media like I do. She really has the cutest stuff.

I want mostly everything she posts on Instagram.

I had an amazing birthday this year. I just felt really blessed.

I redid my hair and yes I confess, I love red hair and I love saying Red hair, Don’t Care.

I still have not made it back onto the fitness wagon that I fall off thanks to my birthday month.

I actually gained a couple pounds back this month and I feel so sad about that.

I always say I will start on Monday so hopefully this Monday will be the day I get it together.

I have gray (or white)hairs growing out on my eyebrows and it is not cute at all!!!

I plan on going on a spending fast starting November 1st. My hubby will be really happy to hear that BUT I don't know how I feel about this. Even just thinking about it makes me nervous.

I need to make more time for prayer and reading (and social media should count BUT it doesn't).  God is so good to call us out and hold us accountable to what He has called us to do. We got prayer for this exact thing at service. So thankful for my pastors and my church for being in tune with the Holy Spirit and leading the way.

I was suppose to post this last night and then this morning and just finishing it up right now.

I need to get some sleep because  I have to be at church early tomorrow.

I kinda poured out my heart out on this post and feel a little vulnerable yet through the typing and tears, it also brought me some freedom.

The birthday celebrations still continue with these giveaways but ending soon.
$750 PAYPAL CASH (ends 10/27) // $225 PAYPAL CASH (ends 10/31)

I hope you enjoy this last weekend in October.

PEACE AND BLESSINGS,

October Confessions

I CONFESS...

I have a lot of confessions I would like to share

I love, love, love this time of the year. (You probably already know that)

I love to watch sports especially football, especially Dallas Cowboys, especially when they are winning (like right now against the Redskins)

Since it is my birthday month, now my birthday week, I am just looking for stuff to buy

I have a long wish list (that Mr. Aguila is well aware of)

I have been eyeing a couple of things from these awesome online shops I discovered

Mila Rose Designs//A Little Piece of Me Shop//Show and Tell Faith 

 

I did take advantage of the My Beauty Addiction promotion this weekend and placed an order.

I have more make up and beauty products and jewelry, shoes and purses than I know what to do with but I still "NEED" more.

I did my first beauty swap this month and it was so much fun to put together and just so excited to do this.

I got my package last week and had so much fun opening up everything.

You can see all my goodies on KEEK and I will try to put blog post together as well.

I love Maria-Isabel. She is such a blessing to me. She has a heart of gold!

I am doing my first on line bible study or should I say blog bible study, Read about it HERE.


I am a part of a couple great giveaways. It's my way of celebrating my birthday month with you.
You can enter here for a Pier 1 $50 gift card and here for a piece of $750 Fall Cash Giveaway
I am super excited to get my hair done this week.
I haven't been doing to well on my fitness journey.
This week my fitness Coach and our group will begin to read "Made to Crave" by Lysa TerKeurst and I am praying that I can get back on track and continue this journey.
I had an awesome weekend of ministry at my church. We had a guest speaker, Jane Hamon and that lady is so anointed. She speaks fire and imparts fire and just so fierce. She knows her God given authority and is so down to earth.
I had started to read her book The Deborah Company but never finished it but after this weekend I brought it out and will continue to read it.

I want to be a woman who makes a difference.
I experienced a shift this weekend and  I am ready to take my place in God's kingdom.
I am excited for this week and for my birthday celebrations to continue.

These are my October Confessions. I would love to hear yours. You can link them up HERE.

Small Confessions

Hello Treasures....

So Today it is time for some fun. I am going to do Five Minute Friday, Small is the word and combine it with Agape Love Designs, I Confess. These are both linky parties so join in on the fun.

Of course I am late to the parties but here are some small confessions...

I go to sleep late and realize it is a bad idea in the morning.

I work better under pressure.

I sell AVON/MARK and really want to build up my online business.

I said I was going to get better at wearing make up everyday but still haven't.

I just had my hair done red ombre and I can't stop saying, "RED HAIR, DONT CARE."

I love red hair but I don't like the maintenance that comes with it.

I should be working out right now but I wasted all my time on Facebook and Candy Crush.

I will not go to sleep without working out tonight.

I have a weight goal I want to meet but not even sure how long it's going to take me to get there.

I really dislike working out and changing my eating habits.

I am trying to embrace my journey and focus on how awesome it is to fit back into my clothes.

I can sometimes feel really small in the Kingdom of God, yet I know God has called me to do BIG things.
I have an amazing husband.

God has blessed me more than I can ever deserve.

So those are my small confessions for today. 

There is no kind gesture that is too small, there is no positive change that is too small. There is no idea that is too small. There is no person that is too small. There is no dream that is too small. You are not small.
You were made for great things. Dream Big!! Go Big!!

 Peace and Blessings to you God's lovely Treasures.

My Story through my Confessions

Hello My lovely Treasures,

Happy Happy Friday to you! It's evening time in California, where are you reading from? I'd love to hear.

So today is a unique post. The prompt for Five Minute Friday by Lisa Joe Baker is STORY and it's I Confess Friday with Agape Love Designs and Let It Shine. Since I love both of these link ups, I decided to write my Story through my Confessions.

I tried to write this blog earlier but for some reason, I couldn't get to my blog page so now I am home should be packing for my road trip with Mr. Aguila but decided I needed to put my story together and confess some things I have going on. 

I started a fitness program 10 days ago.This is one tough journey but I am blessed to have a coach who is a Christian and who prays for us. Our challenge group is "Becoming a better wife spiritually and physically".  I prayed and prayed about loosing weight and just for God's help to make changes as far as eating and giving up soda.  I have been delivered of soda and I am so happy about that. There was a time I didn't think I could not drink soda.  The eating healthy and meal planning and cooking is still in the works but I am not giving up. I am drinking my Shakeology everyday and working out to the SLIM IN 6 workout videos.  God has connected me to some amazing ladies to do this journey with.  I will be blogging on this more in detail soon. 

We are taking a road trip to Las Vegas.  Mr. Aguila is going for work and I am going for some much needed R&R. This trip is going to be different, I am taking my Shakeology, my blender and my workout videos. Say What???? Yes I have Decided, I am Committed and I will succeed. So far I have lost 3lbs and I know I have lost inches but not sure how many. I was pretty bummed with the number. I was looking to lose at least 7 lbs. in 10 days but a loss is still good right?  I confess I have wanted to give up each day but learning to stop professing that and instead declare that I am an overcomer and that I will succeed with God's help.  Do you have any fitness tips, healthy recipes, advice for me. Leave me a comment.

This is my STORY. Do you have a STORY to CONFESS?  Go ahead take 5 minutes and join these awesome Friday Linky Parties. 

 



 

 

 

 

    

 
Have a great weekend and I will be blogging from Vegas!! 

Mrs. Aguila's Confessions

Hello to all you lovely Treasures,

I am not sure why but I love doing these "I Confess" posts.

So here goes my confessions.

 

I CONFESS...

• I should be asleep already because it's almost 1am and I have church in the morning.
• I been thinking about this post and thinking about this post for a couple hours but just couldn't get to typing it out.
• When I got married, I gave Mr. Aguila two must haves for our apartment and that was an AC and washer/dryer hook ups.
• I didn't get either one with out apartment but I loved the place so much that I compromised.
• Almost five years later, Mr. Aguila got me a "portable AC" and I am not really sure why it's called portable because it is so heavy and it doesn't move around easily.

• I have to do my laundry at the public laundry places and I hate it so much I only go once a month and if it were up to me I'd go twice a year (because I probably have enough clothes to last me for 6 months)
• I DO have enough clothes to last me for AT LEAST 6 months
• One day as I ranted to Mr. Aguila about not having anything to wear, he says he counted 69 blouses and that was only hanging up in the closet.
• I have never counted them to verify the number and since then I have cleaned out the closet and given away many of the shirts that didn't fit me anymore.
• I have gained so much weight in the past "almost" 5 years of being married and I'd say within the last year I have gained the most.
• I am embarrassed to say how much I way BUT I am finally starting a weight loss challenge next Saturday and of course I will blog about it because that is what bloggers do.
• My Team Beachbody coach is a Christian who offers support through the weight loss but more importantly offers to pray us through and I know that God and prayer, I can do this.
• I am not excited at all about this whole eating healthy stuff but I am committed to loosing weight and so the journey begins. Will you follow me and encourage me and help keep me accountable?

Now it's your turn, write up some confessions and link up with Agape Love Designs and Let It Shine here I CONFESS
