Friday Favorites // Wake Up & Smell The Bacon

I don't know if you've heard of this. I don't know if you've seen it. I don't know if you like it. I don't know if you care. But, I thought it was worth sharing. If not for coolness, for weirdness, and if not for tastiness, for bacon.

 

 

What else can I say!?!?!

 

So, here's an advertisement for the new Oscar Mayer app called 'Wake Up and Smell the Bacon.' From what I understand, it's an app that is amazing in itself, but there's so much more than the app. You can apply for a device that plugs into your ear-phone jack. This device, when your alarm goes off, releases the aroma of... Bacon.

 

You can check out their website to find out how to apply, and for more bacon-ey goodness here.

 

So, ladies and gents, with out further ado, here's Oscar Mayer's Wake Up and Smell the Bacon advertisement.

 

What do you think? Do you think this is really cool? Extremely dumb? Absolutely ridiculous? Entirely random? Oh, ho, ho! You want random! I'll give you random! (WARNING: It's rather late, and I'm tired, so I have NO clue what's about to happen, and I'm not into hitting the delete button...)

 

^ Oh! I would LOVE one of those!!!

 

^ Need I say anymore? There is no such thing as 'too much bacon.'

^ We were actually watching a movie a few weeks ago, and they showed a scene with a sunset, and.... all I saw was bacon. (Please refer back to the warning...)

 

Well, I hope none of that was too random, and that you enjoyed some of it!

Tuesday Tresses // Braids Into Braided Bun

A braided bun is one of the easiest hair styles to do. It takes a small amount of skill, and looks amazing! You can give it an elegant, sophisticated look, or you can make it very loose and messy. You can do it simply, or fancily (That's not a word is it...). You can do so many different variations, it might just make your head hurt. ;)



 

 

I decided to dress it up a bit, and I added two braids in the front going into my bun. To do the bun, ponytail, braid, ponytail, wrap, and pin. (like I said, easy peasy porridge pie.) (Okay. Never using that phrase again...)  

 

 ^Side view.

 

^ Other side/back.

 

I think I did the bun, and then wrapped the braids around the bun. You could also put the braids into the ponytail and then make the big bun.

 

I think the 'Tuesday Tresses' aren't going to be every week. They'll still be on Tuesdays, but not every week. ;)

 

Hope you enjoyed!

 

Love,

Sunday 3.9.14 10,000 Reasons

10,000 reasons. Wow! That's a lot, isn't it. Yet, the number of reasons that we have to praise God, far surpasses 10,000.

10,000 Reasons ~ Matt Redman

[Chorus] Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

[Chorus]

You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

[Chorus]

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

[Chorus 2x]



Love,
Rebekah

Friday Favorite // Love You

I love greatly enjoy this heart-wrenching reminder of love. Maybe the reminder appeals to me because I'm an older sibling, and I know that I've told my younger siblings no to something before. Only because I've wanted to something for myself. (You will understand why I said what I said after you watch the video.) :)

Have any of you heard of Jostie Flicks before? I discovered them on You-Tube several weeks ago, and extremely enjoy their videos! If you haven't heard of them before, you should go check them out! (And, contrary to this video, most of their productions are funny.)

Jostie Flicks ~ Love You

Sunday 3.2.14 You Love Me Anyway

Yes. Lord, this is what we praise you for. I am the worst of sinners, but YOU love me anyway. No matter what I do, or think, or say; you still love me.

You Love Me Anyway ~ Sidewalk Prophets

Friday Favorite / Messed Up Time

So... A 'Friday Favorite' on a Saturday!?!?! 'Messed Up Time'.. You think! Maybe just a little!!!

Yeah.. sorry about that. We had a swim meet to go to, so I was 2 hours away, and my computer was at home... :( It's so sad, isn't it... *sniff*

Well, since we're on the topic of time (or at least we kind of were....) Here's a great reminder that on March 9th, we SPRING ahead! I certainly will like the fact that it's lighter longer, but having to get up on a Sunday after losing an hour of sleep.... Let's just say that that's always a hard morning, no matter what year it is. :)

Anyways, without further ado...
Spring Forward Fail ~ The Skit Guys
