Not the end...

So if you have stopped by the home page of our website at www.adornedwithgrace.com, you may have read the note at top that says we will be...MOVING! In fact, it may be happening rather quickly here and for that reason, we will have to close awG temporarily on September 8 to give us time to move and get settled in.

As of this time, we have no idea exactly when this will be. I want to caution everyone that it may not be until January 2012 before we get things rolling again, depending on how well the move will go and the kind of place we will be living in. Since we will be trying to whittle down our inventory so that there will be less to move, it may take a while to make up more products to have ready for sale, especially foundations/powders/popular blush & eye colors that we may run out of before we shut it down.

We also would like time to be able to revise our website and how the products are listed as well as make needed changes such as pricing (products and shipping). In addition, we will also be looking at simplifying our line even more which means discontinuing unpopular products (some foundation colors literally sit on the shelves!) and other possible additions/subtractions in our process.

This change may seem to come rather too quickly--I know, it most definitely is for me and I do apologize if it causes any inconvenience to anyone. We were not sure of our move until about one and a half weeks ago, and all we could do was prepare for a possible change, which was VERY difficult to do!

The store has now been reopened until September 8 (September 7 will be the last day of shopping). I would recommend that if you are low on your favorite foundation/powder/blush/eyecolor, you may need to order before then to guarantee you will receive the product assuming we have that item in stock. Since we will be having to pack up our things these next two weeks, it will be impossible to mix up more colors.

Then whatever items we do not sell by September 4, we will be issuing a coupon code here at definingtruebeauty.com to ensure a quick sale as we want to move as little items as possible. We are still attempting to add more Clearance items before the week is over so make sure you stay tuned to that as well!

One last thing, because it will be very hectic here the next few weeks, do allow for an increased shipping time *possibly* should we fall behind. You all know we try to get these orders out ASAP, but give us grace should it take 3-6 days longer than usual.

Thank you all again for your support of awG and pray for us that this move goes smoothly so we can get awG back up and running once again!

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
