Hungry all the Time

In 1999, Ana Carolina Reston crossed the stage in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  At thirteen years old, she had just been named Queen of Jundiai, the winner’s sash draped around her slender figure.  Her mother and father, watching from the audience, beamed with pride.
“The other girls were podgy and had bottoms,” Mrs. Reston stated, ”She won because she [...]

Just SMILE!

“Really?” Madison sipped her [...]

Christa-Taylor

I’m so excited to recommend one of my favorite resources!  The Christa-Taylor store. 
Christa Taylor is like many Christian young women in that she sees a problem with our culture’s immodest, unladylike way of dressing.  However, she is different in one way.  She has decided to do something about it.
I love the friendly and helpful customer service, [...]
