Chocolate Glitter Glam Makeup Tutorial

Chocolate Glitter Glam 

Makeup Tutorial 

Today, I finally got out of my comfort zone and did a bold makeup tutorial! I really liked the way that it came out and I know you will too. I am anticipating negative comments about not washing my face or at least taking a makeup removing wipe and cleaned off the old makeup from earlier that day. To be honest - I am not the only one who does that! Have you ever had to turn your day makeup into something more suitable for night time events? *Raises hands, arms and legs* MEEE! I have no problem being realistic. My non sponsored videos is the best way to really be - me.

Motherhood: Challenges at School

Motherhood:  Challenges at School

I am pretty open about things that happen to me and things that effect me. My son is a beautiful blessing and I would never say I wish I could take him back for anything. He is the reason I am where I am, in this bed, in this room, in this house - I did all of this for him. BUT- It has been challenging being Jude's mommy. Most recently since starting school he has been in trouble and sent to the principles office more times than I can count for "fighting". He is a strong willed boy. 

I have changed up my ways of discipline over the years. The way I was raised was how I started and it did not work. It only made me feel bad and made him feel scared of me. The same fear I had of my mother. Don't get it twisted - I love her and she's amazing - but my style is always evolving. I am currently using TIME OUT like he does at school so that is consistent and it works...for the most part. 

So in the recent months he has become very physical at school with others. I don't care if its common - I don't want it to continue. I have been told "He's a boy, he's fine". If he came home hurt from another child at school I would raise hell. But he's the hell raiser and Im his mama - so its been a tough pill to swallow for sure. Anyone else have this problem? 

I called my aunt who has her own battles raising a strong willed child and she gave me so much information and insight...it was comforting. Almost like she gave me a tight hug over the phone. I was so lucky to have her to turn to for this kind of support. I unfortunately am guilty of making faces or senseless comments about her parenting in the past because I didn't understand. Boy do I ever, now. He's not a total terror because he can be with others and not fight but the amount of times has been so high I decided to see if anyone else had this problem. This is not an open forum to tell me how to raise him - Im asking mother to mother if there are any of you who are dealing with this and how you are remedying this situation.

What I am lusting for right now

What I am lusting for right now...

Like right in this moment. I am really digging the PRADA "Lace-Up" Oxfords.  And when I am into something with a high price tag ($950) I have to really sleep on it! For like a year haha. Ok, maybe not that long. When I like something I am pretty stuck in my ways. I used to be super impulsive and buy things that I liked in my head but didnt really work in my closet. 

I think I will wait to see more outfits on Pinterest and Polyvor with these guys before I pull the trigger. What are you lusting over? Are these ugly? Do you think I am smoking crack? lol.

Do you have Momnesia?

Mom Zone for life

...or until Jude is 18

“Momnesia” and 11 Other Ailments Only Moms Get was article I just read. I know for a fact I am suffering from all of those!! The one that I am feeling the effects from the most has to be 

Sleepliving: Proceeding through life in a heightened state of sleep deprivation.

I am trying to get through this day with all of my goals completed. Today I got up early after a long night of editing to make breakfast and pack Judes lunch for school. Turns out, while on the steps of his school, that class did not resume until TOMORROW! My son turns to me and says "I could have slept longer!" All I could think is; Me too son, Me too. I know it might sound like I am complaining about raising a terrorist but its just the sleep deprivation speaking. I am always thinking about how I spend my time - while he is with me - effects him. I want him to remember me being stable - being a hard working, independent, self sufficient, strong woman. I don't ever want him to describe me as violent, angry, depressed, lazy, and unmotivated. We are our children's future. I didn't have the picture perfect upbringing but I do know that Jude is happy, loved, and protected because of me. 

I might have Momnesia but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Has your child ever: Not wanting to leave their father

(Jude when he was 1)

Has your child ever...

Has your child ever come home in tears not wanting to leave their other parent? It happened tonight and it was - I think - the second or third time in his 5 years of life. To be honest it hurt my feelings. I even cried a little. His father said he was tired and Jude was complaining that he was hungry. I know when Jude doesn't get his daily nap and meals when I usually fix them he is a grump! I don't know why I was so sensitive. It could have just been me missing him more this weekend, because he was with his dad for New Years Eve as well, and getting that reaction was a surprise, a bad one. I just wanted to see how many of you had the same thing happen to you. 

This is what I did. I made him food right away, I can't let the boy starve! Mind you the whole time he was crying for his dad like I was holding him captive. I told him that he was allowed to cry as long and as loud as he wanted. I asked him if he wanted to help me cook (its his favorited thing to do) he thought about it and then responded like a monster "NO!" I served him, he ate like an animal, and when it was time to wash up for bed the melt down continued. He demanded more egg rolls (lol) and I said if he still wanted them tomorrow that I would serve him more. He wasn't having it. He was screaming bloody murder. Guuurrrl let me tell you...I do NOT have patience for screaming children so he was pushing my buttons. That kind of behavior would end in a karate chop to the top of the head and a kung fu kick to the pants. I held it in and killed the situation with kindness. After we prayed, and you know I asked the lord to keep me from whopping a particular butt, he finally calmed. I gave him an example of how he was acting and how what he said effected others (and when I say others - I mean me) 

[My example] What if I was upset when you came home? What if I didn't want to talk to you and asked Daddy to take you somewhere, anywhere, other than here at home with me? How would that feel? He said he didn't like it. I also explained how his father took care of him until Jude came home to me, and I took care of him until he went to visit his father. He apologized and went to bed without another peep. I felt accomplished when I shut his bedroom door. Like I did my job, I loved my son like a mommy should. 

Good night, Latina Kisses
