Happy Birthday To Youuuuuu!

My baby boy turned 4 years old today! holy cow where in the world is time going?! It seems like just yesterday my neighbors/friends  tiff was holding my leg, abby and heather were taking pictures of my vag as I pushed him out, and my husband was half ass holding my leg watching football hahaha I'm so proud of the young man my baby has become in these 4 short years of life, he is so intelligent, outgoing, and well behaved. Jesus has definitely blessed me! This year we skipped out on birthday parties and instead one of their pawpaws came to visit! the reason I say "their" is because my other son Ayden turns 5 on Tuesday! yes yes I had Aizaiah 3 days before Ayden's 1st birthday lol I hear it all the time how crazy that is, how they are considered some type of twin (never heard of it before but ok) lol so any who, they got a brand new trampoline, a puppy, a flat screen TV, and clothes & shoes. One thing I LOVE about having boys is that they are SO simple! The boys both chose a box cake for mommy to bake them on each of their birthdays and we let them decide what they wanted to do for their day and today Aizaiah chose to play at the park hahah can't complain! and that's exactly what we did, we shall see what Ayden chooses on his day. I've had such baby fever lately I REALLY REALLY REALLY want another baby, and I think the reason why is because all of my kids are growing up WAY to fast! lol now to convince my lovely husband of mine to get a reversal on that vasectomy hahaha! (never going to happen) As the day comes to an end I can't help but be so thankful that my baby boy was alive and healthy to celebrate another year of life. Thank you Jesus!

Have a fabulous night bloggers!

Sunday Funday

Hello my fellow spouse's, civilians, and military members :P

WELL, Today was pretty lame lol jk not really, but really, basically it was a house cleaning and gym type of day so lets get right into tomorrow! I've been trying the best I can to keep you all updated with my husband's journey to becoming an army infantry officer! Well last time I told y'all how MEPS wouldn't "touch him" because his release date from the airforce was a year away, well somehow there was a miracle and he is off to MEPS in the morning! pray pray pray that everything goes well this is the ONLY obstacle in the way because like I've said before the brigade commander and SSgt that choose the OCS candidates had a one on one with my husband and basically guaranteed him a spot, so go figure the MEPS people are making things complicated lol but now that he made staff he is attending ALS (airman leadership school) and that is something he HAS to attend so he won't be able to leave for OCS until after that which isn't but a few weeks long, but I've been told it's better to go officer after being an NCO so booyah! I think this was God's plan for my husband to make staff before going OCS so it looks better for him. But i'll make sure to let you all know how things go tomorrow. Aside from that I also am taking my oldest son Ayden to his school tomorrow for his testing apt. it's just testing to see where they are so the teachers know what to work on with the kids, and we have to bring the gazillion school supplies to the teacher tomorrow also then his first full day of school is the 26th. He is so excited to start kindergarten and although I'm sad my baby is getting older and smarter and prospering I'm very excited for my little boy. I'm thrilled with the school he is going to as well, BEAUTIFUL newly built school, amazing security system, and the staff is phenomenal! they also partner with the YMCA so I THINK his school for all ages do "school sports" how awesome!! Him and his brother start basketball this December EEEEK! im thrilled! and my baby girl is starting a few things as well but I'll wait to discuss those :D

If you all don't know I have another blog My journey to turn my body into the after picture. basically just my fitness adventure so those who are interested in my diet or my fitness routine you can go follow that blog as well :) and yes there ARE follow buttons on the blogs lol I didn't know til I seen someone was "following" my other blog lol on top of that I am also starting a YouTube channel called GlaMom- beauty by chancey so stay tuned for that I'm still working on it but I will let you all know when I have made my first video :)

well that's it for tonight blog friends, stay tuned to my crazy life! lol

Random

What's up Milso's and non Milso's :P

I'll be posting a bunch of randoms today k? k, ready set go!

for the military families who don't know this already, the military well atleast the airfoce here at our base provided my son with a new backpack and school supplies FOR FREE! saaweeet! they also do things for Thanksgiving and Christmas too so make sure you look into that, LOTS of freebies.

I'm pretty sure my husband and I have more fun on the boys birthday gift (14ft trampoline) than they do! lol we gave it to them early so they could enjoy it before school starts and the day we set it up the kids played on it then my husband and I waited for the kids to fall asleep then we literally crawled out of our bedroom window which has no screen (we didn't want to walk past the kid's room and wake them up) and we cracked up laughing jumping on the trampoline, once our fat asses got tired we layed there and look at the stars ^_^

My father in law is coming soon to help celebrate my boys 4th and 5th birthdays, not only did they get their trampoline and puppy but they are also getting toys and we are taking them to dun dun dunnnn KINGS ISLAND! they have a little "snoopy land" there and they meet the height requirements so they get to ride the little kid rollercoasters wahoo! they are going to have a blast and I can't freaking wait to see their faces!

My oldest son Ayden starts kindergarten on the 21st -_- so not ready, im going to cry, I know I am. OH and I had my second interview at a dental office today, it went VERY well so fingers crossed in 1-2weeks ill get a call saying I got the job $16/hr um yeah Ill take it! lol

My weightloss journey is totally sucking balls hahah because lucky me my dr said my hormones are out of wack, i'm being put on birth control BOOOOO and the fact my hormones are out of wack they said it'll be hard for me to lose weight, oh freaking well, I'm still going to bust my ass working out to atleast stay healthy :) besides strong is the new skinny right?

well anyways I guess those are my randoms for the day lol I hope everyone is having a blessed night! Til next time bloggers!

My fav hair products

Hey dolls!
Well I've been asked SO many times what hair products I use, how do I keep my hair so healthy for it to be so long all the time etc. well here ya go! I'm going to show you a few products I use in my hair just about everyday. I've  used Tresemme shampoo and Conditioner for about 12 years now and I've used the Tresemme hair prodcuts for about 3 years. About 9-12 months ago I started using a coconut milk oil because I went bleach blonde and that fried my hair, the coconut milk oil basically restored my hair back to it's shiny-ness and smooth feel, I also feel my hair seems a little thicker but idk that could just be me. I have yet to try the coconut milk shampoo and conditioner but it is next on my list. I just have such long hair that the tresemme is affordable and you get a lot for the price and it has always been amazing to my hair :) I'll show you pictures of the products incase you want to try it you can find it much easier, and all my products I get at my local grocery store, and they are all very affordable and smell amazeballs! The oils I'm going to show you last me about a month, I use 2 squirts about a nickel size with each use, the spray lasts me about 2-3 weeks just because I'm always blow-drying, straightening or curling my hair and the shampoo and conditioner last me 2 weeks, unfortunately because my hair is long and gets tangly a lot I use a ton of conditioner. One thing I want to recommend is DO NOT use a lot of the oil on top of your head, after rubbing the oil through your hair use what is left on your ands (almost nothing) for the top of your heard or else even after your hair dries it'll look greasy, YUCK, happened to me the first time I used the coconut milk oil when I went blonde lol.

How my hair looks after using products, nice and shiny :)

 

I hope this helped you all out!

Now go buy this stuff so you can look even more fab :P

My Everyday Smokey Eye How To..

hey guys!
I know I'm extremely late posting this but here is a little of how I do my "smokey eye" btw stay tuned for ANOTHER new blog strictly for hair and makeup :)

I always start with my face first. So I'm just going to show you a few of my fav products right now for my face, I didn't get a chance to snap a pic of them all.

Concealer/Highlighter pen

Highlight & Contour Powder by NYX

 

NYX Blush PB06 Peach

 

Now onto my smokey eye:

 

for my shadows I use the 120 color palette 5th edition by BHcosmetics

My brushes are also from BHcosmetics

Before starting on my eyeshadow I always fill in my eyebrows with a brown eyeshadow, I will have a separate post just for eyebrows later on.

First I take my angled brush and just draw a line across my crease and the outter part of my lid.

Then I take my blending brush dab a little more black shadow on to blend it towards the middle of my lid, I also use it to blend a little above the line on the crease of my lid

Next I take a metallic silver and pack it in the middle of my lid then I use white eyeshadow and pack it in the corner of my eye where my tear duct is (white shadow not shown in the picture above)

 

I then apply my first coat of mascara with grow luscious by Revlon, this gives my lashes length

 for my second coat I use this loreal mascara, this gives my lashes more volume

Here is my finished look of my everyday smokey eye. Hope yall enjoyed!

since I had such a dark eye I went with a subtle pink lip

kate lipstick I purchased at walmart, it smells really good!

New Adventures

HI EVERYONE!

So I made a decision to delete my facebook AND instagram just because im sick of drama or even seeing other peoples drama lol I will EVENTUALLY re-activate my facebook just to keep long distance friends and family up to date with our family :)

so my boy's birthdays are this month Aizaiah will be 4 on august 24th and Ayden will be 5 august 27th, last year I got them a great dane puppy but he grew up to be semi aggressive and bit my daughters face leading to over 20 stitches, so this year we decided to get them ANOTHER puppy, I know I know call us crazy, but she is an Australian shepard so she wont be too big, not only that but we could not have chosen a better puppy, she is so calm and sleeps majority of the day, I must say she sleeps THE funniest ways.  she is SO smart, at 2.5 months old I have trained her to sit already and she does SO good with not peeing or pooing in the house, we aren't crate training just because we don't believe in keeping a poor animal in a cage and she has been doing amazing sleeping in the room with us. I would highly recommend these dogs for people with children and other dogs. My mom used to have one and he was so sweet and very loving. by the way her name is Lola :) my husband chose that name lol I think it's adorable and suits her well.

Lola baby

In other news, I have my second interview at a dental office AND an interview for fifth third bank, I more than likely will choose the dental office just because that's what I went to college for and I would like to get my foot in the door and get some experience so it's easier to get dental jobs in the future. Aside from that, I will be attending cosmetology school at Regis which is one of THE best beauty schools, I'm always doing my friends hair and makeup and they always say "if you don't go to beauty school and become licensed I'm going to kick your ass" lol  and as silly as this sounds that has always been my "career path" I would always tell my high school counselor lmao so I'll have dental and cosmetology under my belt whoop!

SO my husband's medical waiver was ACCEPTED! for officer! hellz yeah! im so excited for him! he is going to meps this month and taking the board this month! not only that but he also made staff SSgt! so a HUGE congrats to him, all his hard work is def paying off and I couldn't be more proud of him! so many times he wanted to give up and just quit because this has been a year and half process but he has stuck it out and not given up. so words from the wise, do not give up on your dreams! you will succeed if you put your mind to it. OH my dad also made Lt Col so happy for him and he was stationed to Hawaii, leme just say I am SO jealous of the base housing there! My brother also returned from an 8 month deployment from Afghanistan, im so excited he made it home safely :)

well yall now that I've talked your ear off I'm going to go hit the gym then spend time with my family

have a blessed night!
