We're back and caught up!

Just a quick note to let you all know that we had a wonderful time at my sister's wedding and were able to get back into the swing of things and have mailed out all the orders made while we were gone.

FYI, there are some of you that may have trouble getting out notices (Order Confirmation & Shipping Notices) especially those with a Yahoo email account (they have strangely strict privacy settings) so if you believe you placed an order from Feb. 9 - 23, and have not received ANY notices, you are welcome to email us to check. We apologize for that but some email servers don't always recognize our Automatic Response emails from out website.

We had quite a few orders--much more than expected and even pleasantly overwhelming!--but we worked hard to make sure you all didn't have to wait too long as we like to follow the Golden Rule in that matter! ;) We had so many sample orders we are busily making more products to replace our stock as well as reordering other items (brushes, shipping supplies, etc.) so once we get all those in order,we'll be back to our usual posting on the blog with our unique blog specials.

Thanks to all of you who have continued to spread the word about adorned with Grace Minerals! This is especially for those of you who have bought products from us and were kind enough to spread the word via blog, YouTube, or just verbally telling a friend or two; to keep our costs down, we rely solely on word of mouth for our advertising so the more of you out there sharing about us, the most likely we are to stick around (especially in this economy) and also have the money to get a broader range of products!

Well, back to work for us!

Less than a week before closing!

Just reminding everyone that our store will be temporarily closing this Thursday, Sept. 8 with the last day to shop on Sept. 7. We have added some new Clearance items such as Grab Bags of the discontinued both sample and full-size of Blush & Eyecolors as well as Blush & Eyecolor bundles. Most of these items are going fast so if you would like to get them act soon! However, you may also risk it and wait to save more as we are going to be issuing a discount code either Sept. 4 or 5, so definitely check back here then. As with our other coupon codes, though, because it is a rather large percentage (more so than any other time we've issued them) this will only be for orders $15 or more, so go ahead and order if yours is less than $15 not including shipping. Our powders and foundations and some of the Clearance items are going pretty fast out of stock though so if you don't want to risk running out of inventory, definitely order soon! We want the last couple days to move

I had no idea it would be so challenging. You would think that I could just “pick up” where we left off with adorned with Grace, but the market has changed pretty significantly in 10 years! I do not remember having to work so hard making the products and on the website many years ago. The latter has been especially difficulty—but…I think I had a bit of writer’s block when trying to get everything jump started. I realized that in continuing adorned with Grace, I felt important to clarify to myself what adorned with Grace would be. Back then, it started as a creative outlet for me, to make cosmetics for hard-to-match skin tones like mine, and to promote true beauty ideas for a positive influence in the world. All still true, of course! But before I could go any further, I felt impressed to elaborate on our values and mission, so this is what I wrote down last week: *To be a light to those in darkness who are held down from their true identity in God. *To unite women and model how we can

No Blog Special, BUT...a Special Article!

Believe It or Not: Words & Their Effect When I was a child, there was a show that my family and I loved to watch called, “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” where it showcased scientific marvels, interesting facts in history, and, sometimes, just fun, outrageous stories to excite and amaze its viewers. Well, I recently read an article that I thought would have fit right in with this show called, “Miraculous Messages from Water: How Water Reflects Our Consciousness.” It’s about an experiment conducted by a Japanese scientist where he tested to see the effect of words/thoughts on water. Sounding crazy already, lol? Well, read on as it gets even more interesting as he’s got pictures to prove it… To give a VERY general overview of his experiment ( *Click here to see the entire article ), he has done experiments on the effect of spoken AND written words on water as well as music. I’m just going to share with you some of the pictures of what I found most interesting of the resulting images
