Busy Business!

So by now you probably know about my little shop, JuicyJewelryStore. Well this weekend was Black Friday, so I had a sale in my shop! It went super surprisingly well! I had ten orders - I went from having 30 items for sale to just 20! I need to list some new stuff stat! So what am I doing now? I am making new items for the holidays! Peppermint candies, possibly some christmas cookies, candy canes, snowmen and anything else I feel like making! Hang tight for more!

I Got Tangled!

I went to see the first showing of Tangled today!!! I am not saying anything about it other than it is super good, and you need to see it. It's up in my top 4 Disney movies - but I'm not saying which number (#1, 2, 3, or 4) it is. Just go see it!

Get ready to be depressed...

Miley Cyrus at the MTV EMA's in Madrid...
This made me so sad, depressed, and actually sick to my stomach. I didn't exactly know how to sum up that performance...part zombie/lady gaga wannabe, which is usual now, part $5 hooker, part looking-ridiculous-because-I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing.

It actually made me really really sad for Miley, and I'm not usually a feel-sorry-for-others person. I've pretty much been ripping Miley apart the last 2 years because she's abusing the power she's been given. With great power comes great responsibility.

I just watched the most recent ep of Hannah Montana Forever last night and there was a look back at Miley on the show since the first episode when she was 12. Seeing those images of such a sweet, innocent little girl and then watching this video was hard for me. She has lost all the innocence she ever had. And now I'm wondering how much of it is really her wanting to be slutty, how much is the lack of responsibility on behalf of her parents, how much is the influence of her peers, and how much is the decision of those who put together her performances. Anyhow.

It literally broke my heart to see what she has become. I really felt a dark, almost evil presence (I know that sounds weird) in her performance in Madrid. IT really seems to me that she doesn't have anything good in her life and the influence of dark things have completely taken over.


I know, I know, you're probably thinking I'm crazy, but I am really sensitive to things of that nature. Not in the "oh, that's so bad let me cover my eyes/Duggar family" way, but I get a really strong feeling in my heart and the pit of my stomach when something is wrong. That's one thing that I think God has gifted me with that has saved me from a lot of evil throughout my life.

So, one of my issues is not having enough compassion for people, and instead I tend to judge them and be more negative. At least with matters of this nature (celebs and all that). But I felt so bad for Miley at the end of this video...I just feel like God's putting it on my heart to pray for her. So I'm going to make a more conscious effort to pray for her...and I want to encourage other people to do the same. She really needs the support of people who actually want the best for her.

Think I'm crazy if you will.
