Eleanor’s Bench series shines a light on the juvenile justice system

Eleanor’s Bench series shines a light on the juvenile justice system

If you have not begun the new Pure Flix series, Eleanor’s Bench then I am here to tell you what you are missing. Eleanor’s Bench shines a light on the juvenile justice system with compassion and purpose. Sometimes we have to practice self control and really feel deserving of love and forgiveness in order to truly understand the root of bad behavior and know when to recognize who needs that second chance and when.

Eleanor Thomas’s success as a Washington DC juvenile court judge is challenged when her inner-city past comes to court and demands more than judgment, prompting her to return to her impoverished neighborhood of youth. Will her renewed sense of purpose reinvigorate her faith?

I am up to episode 4 of this series and have found myself binge watching because I am hooked. By now in this Episode, Eleanor is deep in the case of Jewels and Drayvon. Now that Drayvon in Motherless and in need of a family, Eleanor struggles with a promise made to a late friend, Natasha- Jewles’ Mother. This episode reminds us that God’s mercy and grace should be poured out to all of those we know. It is bigger than guilt! You will feel sadness, you will hope and you will be reminded of the power of prayer.

If you are not familiar with Pure Flix, it is a streaming channel of family-friendly faith-based series and movies. As with the series, Eleanor’s Bench, you can find learning sessions after each show with activities to do as a group or solo to help dissect each episode and the lessons and reminder they offer. Join Pure Flix now and watch Eleanor’s Bench!

Grow thicker eyebrows with Vegamour GRO Brow Serum | Before and After

Grow thicker eyebrows with Vegamour GRO Brow Serum | Before and After

It is an ongoing battle- longer and fuller eyelashes and to grow thicker eyebrows! I spent my early years tweezing the heck out of my eyebrows and was left with thin eyebrows that never grew out too well my adult years. My eyelashes are naturally long, but my eyebrows are thin. I was introduced to the Vegamour brand, mainly because I wanted to find my teen a shampoo/conditioner to help his dandruff scalp that was not full of harsh chemicals. The I decided to try the GLO Brow Serum for myself and it made such a difference!

How I used Vegamour GLO Brow Serum to grow thicker eyebrows

I wanted a true test, so I followed the recommended usage. I applied the serum wand across my brows, focusing on getting the base, twice a day. It has been exactly 2 weeks and that seems to be the going time to see a difference. Below is my before and after ) 2 weeks). In both photo sets, I have zero brow liner or makeup on my brows of any kind and I did not tweeze or style brows. The darker, fuller look on the right columns are true growth.

About GLO Brow Serum

The ingredients of GLO Brow Serum are vegan (clean). It is infused with phytoactives, which are powerful plant-based compound that ensures a truly vegan product. These phytoactives include Red Clover ( a natural DHT blocker – a hormone that contributes to hair loss) and Mung Bean (contains copper that is great for hair and scalp health). You pull the wand and rub across brows. It is so easy and quick to do at bedtime and again in the morning.

I have also been using the GRO Scalp Detoxifying Serum with the GRO Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner for my scalp to use before passing over to my teen. It’s going to be a hard switch, but he is going to love using Vegamour for his hair! It leaves it smelling clean and so soft. Visit Vegamour for vegan beauty products that actually work!
