I thank you so much for following even though I have been gone for some time. Something about deployment and single-parenting make it a bit difficult to keep up with things not Navy or child related. <br /><br />On that note, Lily will be visiting her grandparents this summer, so I can start to focus on self-improvement.<br /><br />A few things on the list that I will try to update about every other day, if not every day, will be my (hopeful) transformation into a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. Being in the Navy forces me to focus on health, nutrition and fitness on a regular basis, so I am going to be looking into that a lot with my blog. <br /><br />I also want to point out that I was recently diagnosed with anxiety and depression after being in a pretty messed-up marriage, so I'm going to share my journey dealing with that along with coping mechanisms and other useful things I learn along the way.<br /><br />Every now and again I will also share stories from my travels underway. I was lucky enough to participate in Pacific Partnership 2016 last year, and I have many stories I would like to share.<br /><br />I will be reviewing products like Arbonne ( I am a consultant and do make commission off of if, though I just started like three days ago and will post more information about that when the time comes) which is a vegan certified and gluten-free company that provides nutrition, beauty products and skincare, that will go along with my attempt at a better lifestyle. <br /><br />I'll probably also talk about my new love, Spider Gwen, and my Convention experiences as they happen.<br /><br />There is a lot in store for this summer, and I'm going to try to make the best of it for my readers!<br /><br />Just remember that my posts are not endorsed by the Navy, and anything I say about a product has absolutely nothing to do with the military, Navy, Department of Defense, or anything else of that nature.

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Where
has all the originality gone in the modern-day film industry? Too often
in the last decade, movies have consisted of a mere retelling, spinoff,
or “fresh” perspective on another. Fearing the considerable risk of
failure that originality may bring, the Hollywood film industry has been
reduced to cobbling together overused tropes and has stripped ideas
from other artists. The colossal expense of making movies, from actors’
salaries to the cost of special effects, weighed against the fickle
hearts of the masses is enough for anyone to lean toward the safe bet of
tried and true tropes. So where does that leave us? Are we doomed to
cycle through the same stories over and over until they’ve been so
whitewashed that even the simplest minds to entertain catch on? I
declare to you now: no. The art of film is still a flourishing,
ever-expanding medium of entertainment; we’ve simply forgotten or never
knew where to look. This all-pervading ignorance would be the doing of
the Hollywood film industry hedging its bets and dazzling the public
with a shiny new version of the same old thing, drawing attention away
from the genuine originality of the independent filmmaker. </span></span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If
a viewer takes the time to watch true independent films (not to be
confused with B-rate movies that steal from both Hollywood and
independent filmmakers), one commonality is a drastically lower budget
than most Hollywood films. Most viewers would initially see this as a
deal breaker, and upon an initial reaction that is understandable. Why
would someone want to watch a low-budget version of something Hollywood
has already done? The simple answer is that, in many cases, independent
films are not just a recreation of previous movies. On the contrary, the
freedom of creative movement stemming from lower budgets allows
independent filmmakers to reach further than Hollywood films because
they risk less. If the idea falls through, they can get up, brush
themselves off, and try again much more easily. </span></span></span></div>

example of an excellent independent filmmaker who has done just this
would be Jason Trost This up-and-coming director, writer, and actor
started his career with a unique perspective on the classic sports movie
formula. In the small post-apocalyptic town of Frazier Park (The FP),
rival gangs vie for control by challenging each other to Beat Beat
Revelation, a copyright-friendly version of the popular arcade game
Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). Under the tyrannical rule of L-Double-E,
the FP is in dire straits, and it’s up to the protagonist JTRO to save
his beloved town.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

my first viewing of this movie, I had mild expectations. I prepared
myself for a cheesy B-rate film, and I was ready to overlook minor
discrepancies to appreciate the plot and comedy. I was initially
disappointed in the lackluster acting in the first 15 minutes of the
movie. Between cheesy lines and an absurd concentration of Ebonics, it
was absolutely cringe-worthy, and I nearly gave up on it altogether. I
resolved myself to continue on and quickly realized the butchery of
English was, indeed, intentional for comedic effect. It became apparent
that, instead of an ignorance of English, the form of speech used
throughout the movie is actually a brilliant application of slang and,
perhaps, a logical representation of the devolution of the English
language in Trost’s post-apocalyptic world.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Once I’d gained a footing in understanding Trost’s vision in </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The FP</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">,
he began to wield ludicrousness like a rapier, piercing holes through
the viewer’s expectations. The viewer is compelled to continue watching
simply to see the next absurdity. I was dumbfounded by the actors’
ability to perpetuate a dialogue packed with vulgarity and slang without
breaking into fits of uncontrollable laughter, which is a testament to
their acting prowess. It’s a comedy so unique and vulgar that the viewer
can’t help but burst into hysterical bouts of laughter so intense that I
must preach caution, as one of my friends nearly fainted from laughing
so hard at this movie. By the end of the film I was left wondering,
“What the hell did I just watch, and why can’t I stop laughing?” </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Although </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The FP</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
was a brilliant work of unique comedy, it was seen as a financial
blunder. Compared to the budget for the film, the return in sales from a
few die-hard fans was abysmal, and although it continues to have a cult
following, it is largely unrecognized for the genius that it is.
Undaunted by this financial failure, Trost has continued to do what he
loves: to make unique and expectation-shattering movies. His next films,
</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All Superheroes Must Die </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">and </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How to Save Us</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">,
have yielded much better returns, and prove Trost to be a superb
example of a developing director and actor. Each one of his movies is an
excellent display of bursting creativity and drive that brings people
stories designed to challenge a viewer’s expectations at every turn. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

recently, his works have started to drift from formal financial backing
into the more flexible option of crowd funding, which offers less
financial stress to drag his creativity down and allows him to create
something that is truly unique. The only drawback to crowd funding is
its dependence upon audience participation and recognition to generate
funds for his upcoming projects, but I have faith that the genius of
Trost’s previous work prove his future films to be well worth watching
and promoting.</span></span></span></div>

where our hero JTRO must save the FP once more by fulfilling his
destiny and participating in the Beats of Rage tournament. Having
already laid the groundwork for this story in his first movie, Trost
will be able to focus even more energy into creating a more developed
plot to flesh out his already hilarious world.</span></span></span></div>

offers a variety of donor incentives, including copies of the film upon
release, various levels of Easter egg style recognition throughout the
movie, and even participation in the movie as an extra or as a
challenger in the Beats of Rage tournament. This film needs
participation to get off the ground. Too many people complain that
movies lack originality and simply play off of their predecessors, but
they fail to do anything about it. This is your chance to be a part of
the solution. By supporting projects such as this one, we can break the
cycle of overused tropes and bring original ideas into the limelight. As
a firm believer in Jason Trost’s abilities as a multi-talented
filmmaker, I have no doubts that his is a name to follow. With adequate
promotion, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Trost’s endeavors, and his
fans’ contributions, well rewarded.</span></span></span></div>

By May, I was on my way to boot camp, and in July I was officially a U.S. Navy Sailor. <br /><br />I went through Navy Mass Communication Specialist A-School at Fort George G. Meade, MD, at the Defense Information School. After 8 months of education, May of 2015 I went to my first command, Navy Public Affairs Support Element East in Norfolk, VA. I was slated to deploy with the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group on USS Gravely in November, but a physical altercation between my husband and me caused my command to hold me back. My husband was arrested and I became a single mom almost two weeks before I was to deploy. <br /><br />Now it's 2016, and I am slated yet again to deploy in May this year with USNS Mercy. <br /><br />Obviously that doesn't describe everything I've learned and encountered, but in a nutshell that's what I have been up to. <br /><br />I hope to keep up with the blog now that my life is settling down into something easier to handle. <br /><br />Lily is doing very well as a Navy kid. She's joyful all of the time and I'm really going to miss her while I am overseas. I know, though, that I will be able to bring back many experiences to share with her :)<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10497536221453965666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412011546967665957.post-79904197658312027162013-09-22T23:43:00.001-04:002013-09-22T23:43:15.915-04:00Winner!!!

I've had problems finding shampoos that did my hair justice. I have color-treated hair with split ends I really should cut but... well, I don't feel like it. It's long, wavy-curly with heat-damage from straightening it frequently. Long story short, my hair has about had it with me and it was no longer cooperating with me.<br />
<br />
I took $20 with me to Wal-Mart and told myself I was either going to chop my hair off or get some really nice hair products because obviously 98-cent bottles of shampoo weren't cutting it.<br />
<br />
Okay, so $20 doesn't mean "really nice" hair products, but I was willing to pay more to make my hair more awesome. Give me a break.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I walked into Wal-Mart and saw an installation for some new L'Oreal products. I didn't think much about it and kept going to look at all of the shampoos to see what I can do.</div>

There L'Oreal was again in the pretty black bottles. I know product appearance is all about attracting a consumer to buy based on looks, but I picked up the $5.97 bottle of shampoo anyway.<a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/L-Oreal-Paris-Ceramide-Total-Repair-5-Restoring-Shampoo-25.4-fl-oz/22218781"> L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo</a>. Sounded good, so I picked up the corresponding conditioner, and figured I could top it off with the Damage-Erasing Balm as well.<br />
<br />
Didn't pick up the Dry Oil that went with the set because I was on a budget. I also figured if everything else worked out I would go back and get it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After my first wash I was AMAZED. I followed the instructions on the bottle to a T (Just leave the stuff in 1-3 minutes each) and VIOLA! My hair was so soft and silky, and seriously, the split ends were GONE!<br />
<br />
YAY!<br />
<br />
So if you're looking for a nice affordable treatment for your damaged hair, I definitely suggest this L'Oreal shampoo/conditioner/balm/oil set. </div>

I've been looking all over the internet on Facebook, Pinterest, etc. trying to find some fun things to try this year. These look like they would be great for parties, small get-togethers, football games, or even just because you can! I just wanted to share a few of them with y'all so you can try them, too!<br /><br /><a href="http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/desserts/halloween-oreo-pumpkin-cheesecakes/"><span style="font-size: large;">Halloween Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecakes</span></a><br /><br /></div>

It's a totally cool idea for caramel apples, especially for already messy small children. And messy adults, too :)</div>

I think I am finished with the new design. I kept the basics but added new images in the background and Title Banner. I'm excited! <br /><br />Now that the new design is finished things should hopefully start rolling again. Makes me feel better.<br /><br />Fall is almost here, and that means caramel apples, pumpkin pie, the leaves turning red, gold, and orange, and pecan-picking. Last year we picked a plethora of pecans! Here is Lily playing with them.</div>

Halloween has always been my favorite Holiday. Sure, you get presents on Christmas, but for some reason the thought of dressing up and prancing around the neighborhood with friends and family gathering candy takes the cake for me. What's better is now I can dress Lily up now, too! Double the fun for the Mama!<br /><br />Last year I did a costume review for <a href="http://www.anytimecostumes.com/">Anytime Costumes</a> (see review <a href="http://mylittlelilybud.blogspot.com/2012/04/anytime-costumes-review-and-giveaway.html">here</a>) and dressed Lily Bud in a cute Lion costume once Halloween came around. I was definitely more excited than she was! <br /><br />Last year I came up with my own costume on-the-fly as I honestly had let the idea slip past me. Lily was taken care of so I didn't have too much to worry about. Right? Well, I ended up looking like a vampire pirate. It was a little cool, but frustrating when I was totally uncomfortable walking up and down the street with everything falling off.<br />

NOT THIS YEAR!<br /><br />This year I have taken the early initiative to make sure my family is prepared for Halloween with a cute theme that is not only fun but affordable and comfortable. <br /><br />What theme is that, you ask? Drumroll.... (badabadabadabadabada...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Little Red Riding Hood!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
Lily and I are going to be Red Riding Hoods and Joseph will be the Wolf. Thought about being the grandma, but I already have some components of an adult Red Riding Hood costume and surprisingly none of the grandma. Nope, no nightgowns, robes or slippers here. Weird, huh? Always preferred shorts and a t-shirt...<br /><br />Anyway, for affordability's sake we went to the thrift store today and picked up some wicked-cute baskets for a dollar each for candy-holding and to transport goodies to Grandma's house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Thrift store love <3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I get more things together I will update here.<br /><br />Does anyone have any tips on keeping Halloween affordable and fun? If so, totally share :)</div>

In the mean time, I will do what I love most -- Post photos! YAY! <br /><br />Did anyone miss my photos?<br /><br />I am also working on getting some reviews up and running so keep an eye out for them. <br /><br />A little bit of a backstory here to try and catch everyone up on my whereabouts:<br /><br />Lily and I moved out of my grandmother's house and into a place of our own. After many unforeseen circumstances I lost internet connection and then my computer broke. I started working full-time and lost track of everything. Ended up moving to Alabama and have resided here with Lily and Joseph ever since. <br />
<br />
In that time we have had some pretty good experiences.<br />

YAY!<br /><br />It's been a long year and three months with a lot of loss, but we have gained a lot as well. I will inform everyone when the time comes!<br /><br />In the mean-time, I will leave a picture of my now two-year-old Lily.<br />

Lily cut her first tooth, she's been clingy and separation anxious, as well as constipated.<br />
<br />
Wednesday was exciting when a mama deer left her baby under the front porch for the day. I got pictures of her, which was the most awesome but dangerous thing I think I have ever done. At one point the fawn followed me and started crying.yelling at me and when I turned around she ran right up to me and deer-hugged me. At that moment I heard a crashing in the woods -- Mama Doe. I already saw her go after Tike for getting too close so I ran like hell back inside. I looked back only when I was at the door and mama came out of the woods looking for me. I'm very thankful I didn't stick around...
<br /><br />We had to move the fawn when the people came to take care of the lawn (we being me). Carrying a wild newborn fawn was pretty awesome and scary when I had no idea where the mama was.<br />
<br />
But Mama Doe gave birth to her second a little after dropping this one off. I think I need to say this fawn was at most a couple of hours old when he/she was brought over.<br />

<a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/">EdenFantasys.com</a> always has awesome promotions, and right now is no exception! The big one that I have my eye on right now is the <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/promotions/kits/booty-parlor-bodycare-kit/">20% off any 3 Booty Parlor body-care products.</a> I have tried a few of their body-care products and loved them!<br />
<br />
You can also save 30% on <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/promotions/sales/make-them-hop-for-you-rabbit-sale/">select adult novelties</a>, plus there are kits that come with a discount. You know, if that's what you're into. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Personally, my favorite favorite FAVORITE item is the <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/intimate-caress-shave-cream/adult-toys-dvds-32122#kits_container">Intimate Caress Shave Cream by Kama Sutra</a> in honeysuckle. I have been using it lately and there is no going back for me! My legs feel silky smooth and a light fragrance of honeysuckle makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. It must be my lucky day because there is 20% off of three Kama Sutra body-care items, which includes this awesome product! Talk about happy me :)<br />

When I was little I had a lot of trouble writing "the right way." I personally feel there is no right or wrong way to hold a pencil as long as the handwriting is neat. Mine, unfortunately, was very messy so I needed a change. The little grips and things that were added to pencils to help me learn to hold it "correctly" caused me some issues and I rebelled against it until third grade because I thought kids at my new school would make fun of me if I didn't.<br />

<br />
I read about <a href="http://www.ugleepen.com/">UGLee Pens</a> and got to try them out myself. I was very excited for the opportunity because my hands do cramp easily if I write for too long (whose don't though, right?) I also thought they looked pretty cool as well.<br />
<br />
Mine came in the mail and I said out-loud, "Wow, no wonder they're called UGLEE!" I laughed, because although they look cool, they also just look... well, ugly. But it's not a bad kind, it's a fun kind of way.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
When I started writing with them the jelly grip felt weird and fun to play with, like those squishy toys I would always play with at the store that my mom and dad would never let me get because they were gross. Totally understand guys, because this UGLee Pen picks up hair like one, too. I found myself picking some off here and there thanks to shedding mommy and kitty, but it works. It didn't totally take away from the ease of writing I found.<br />
<br />
I noticed my hand did not cramp as easily as it normally would. I didn't get a little red spot on my fingers like I do sometimes, so the grip really works! It was a totally awesome experience to write with it. I actually go for this pen first now if I need to write anything down.<br />
<br />
If you have kids that are learning to write, I think this is a fun way to teach them and help them with the correct gripping on the pen. Who WOULDN'T want to write with that fun of a utensil? :D<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /><br />We recently read comments on what the least favorite task to do in order to enter a giveaway was....the number 1 answer was "Liking 50 Facebook pages that I am not interested in for only 25 bonus entries!" You spoke and we listened! So for this giveaway each participating blogger is listed individually. Choose to like the ones that might interest you and submit those entries. <b>Or better yet</b>, like them all, get every possible entry in for the great prize; then if in a weeks time you feel your news feed is too clogged, just adjust the notifications. You can hide the posts from your news feed by clicking on the little gadget (star like button) and then adjust accordingly. It is easy to do and better than un-liking a page. Remember you can fill out as many or as few extra entries as you want on the Rafflecopter form!</span></div>
