Today's beauty theme is water. I was thinking of a theme and then it started raining. Water is beautiful, cleansing, keeps us alive, and is linked to Baptism. *Once again not my pictures. They are from a Google Images search* Have a blessed weekend!
Today’s Beauty Theme is Space

Today’s Beauty Theme is Human Beings
Today's beauty theme is human beings. We are created in the image and likeness of God. Each person of the over 6 billion people on this planet has inherent dignity bestowed by the Blessed Trinity.
