Have you ever been drawn to a photo and wondered who took the photo, why they maybe chose that perspective, specific object or place? Well, for glittr girl, Bianca, it is what she loves most about taking photos. Bianca is a 16 year old student from Bucharest and about four years ago she started her journey with photography. She sees photography as a way to express herself and show others God’s perfection through His creation. During the holiday breaks from school Bianca enjoys taking advantage of the extra hours in the day by taking photos. She doesn’t necessarily have a favorite photographer but likes to learn from everyone in this field. Bianca will finish high school in a few years and even though she will not go into photography full-time, she will continue it as a hobby.

Check out some of her photos here:

Raluca is a beautiful young lady that is from Bucharest and is finishing her last year in high school.  She is a true artist when it comes to make-up.  She put her skills to the test and did the make-up of one of the glittr leaders, Andrea Crozier.  See for yourself the before and after picture.

– How did you get started doing make-up?

Ever since I was a little girl, I was attracted to make-up. I was always looking online and trying to replicate different kinds of make-up I saw, with the tools I had.

– What do you like most about make-up?

I enjoy make-uping people because I get to interact with people, and besides meeting beautiful people, I can enhance their features. I begin the process of doing make-up by choosing a theme and then I look online for different make up styles that go with that theme.

– Do you see yourself doing make-up professionally after high school?

After finishing high school, I would like to open a small salon. Besides the business side of it, I would like to offer free make up classes to help girls that want to take some make-up classes, but don’t have enough money.

– Do you have a role model or someone you look up to in this profession?

There is a girl that I admire that reached a high position in a short time in this profession. She proved to me that, with hard work and drive and with the help of God, everything is possible!

“It’s really important to be truly passionate about what you do. The passion you put into something makes it valuable and precious.” – Raluca, 18 years old

Marta is a curly haired, creative and artistic, 14 year old from Giurgiu, Romania. This year Marta moved from Giurgiu to the big city of Bucharest to begin her high school career at an Art school. Before the school year began Marta decided to enter one of her paintings into a National art contest.

There were hundreds of people who submitted their artwork and Marta received third place!!! She won some great art supplies from Faber-Castell.

Congrats Marta!!

Here is a little more about Marta:

-Why do you enjoy art?
Because it’s something I am good at and it’s relaxing. I like all the stuff that I can do with it. I can express myself in many ways.

-When did you start painting or drawing?
I started painting when I was little but only painted trees. In 6th grade I went to art class and the teacher told me that I should go to the art high school and taught me different art secrets and techniques.

-What do you enjoy most, painting or drawing? Why?
I think painting because I like the colors and to work with the colors.

-What would you like to do after you graduate high school?
I would like to be an art teacher for middle school because the kids are creative at that age: not too little and not too old to be bored. I can make a lot of crafts with them. It’s the perfect age. I enjoy making crafts and teaching it as well.

Giovana is a 13 year old, student from Bucharest, Romania and is currently in the 8th grade. She has written many poems and enjoys writing when she has the opportunity.

”I like to write because.. if I want to tell somebody what I feel, I can’t find my words! Or that person may misunderstand me. And on a simple piece of paper I can write what I feel. In writing, I can express myself better. On paper, I can actually write what I feel.” – Giovana

Here is how she was inspired to write this poem:

”Well.. I was sitting at a desk and I was doing homework. And I looked out the window.. and I just thought of writing a poem! The first thing I saw were the birds, and afterwards I looked down, on earth!”

This is her poem (in Romanian):
Când mă uit pe bolta cerului
Și văd păsările zburând,
Mă întreb zicând:
„Oare voi ajunge sus în Cer?”

Mă voi bucura văzându-i pe cei dragi ai mei
Sărbătorind cu Dumnezeu.
Când mă uit jos pe pământ
Văd oamenii spunând că…

Dumnezeu nu există!
Dacă Dumnezeu nu există
Cum ai fost creat?
Cum de trăiești tu astăzi?
Pentru că Dumnezeu ți-a dat viață

Dacă Isus nu venea,
Tu astăzi nu mai trăiai.
Așa că mulțumește-i lui Dumnezeu
Pentru darul cel nespus.

EN
When I look at the blue sky
And see birds flying by
I ask myself a question
„Will I ever go to Heaven?”

Will I be glad to see those I hold dear
Together with God beginning to cheer
When I look down at the ground
I see people saying all around…

That God does not exist!
But if God doesn’t exist
How were you created?
How are you still living?
It’s for God gave you breathing!

If Jesus hadn’t come
You wouldn’t still be alive.
So start thanking God
For His precious gift.

We are honored and love that we get to spend time with the girls that are a part of glittr. As we get to know them, we realize that they are not only beautiful on the outside but also in the inside. They are talented and passionate girls and we are very proud of each them. We felt like others needed to see and hear about the ways that our glittr girls are shining brightly in this world using their many gifts and talents. So, we will be sharing about some of our glittr girls in the weeks to come.

“Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.” – Daniel 12:3
