Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!! Can't believe its 2014 already! With this new year, a lot of new things will be coming. I was talking to my cousin before the new year and he is helping me with my blog. He was asking me about the name and my audience and what I wanted to get out of this. It really made me think about it. I started this blog because honestly, it was something I really wanted to try and say that I did in my life. I have been really geting into watching YouTube and reading other blogs and thought I would challenge myself. I felt like I needed to do something that was just about myself. I just thought of the name off the top of my head but it's not really fitting now that I think about. At first, the purpose was to be about getting back to yourself after having a child but never really got into that. I'm just an enthuist on beauty and makeup products and just wanted to talk about them and share my reviews on them. And this name now that I'm looking at is too long and just not what I'm blogging about now. So my name and URL will be changing very soon to really fit me and my platform.

Its just crazy how poeple can really make you think about things and see what you are really trying to do. I really want this blog to be successful and grow. I gave myself a challenge and I want to step up to the plate and really put my all into this. My cousin also made me notice that I'm not really putting enough of myself on here, I just talk about my products, do my reviews and videos but what about myself? My readers and hopefully I get some followers soon should know about the blogger that is posting this. I honestly hide behind a lot and really don't show my true self. I'm afraid of other people's opinions about me. I just need to take a leap of faith and just really start coming from behind my mask. I want my readers and followers to be able to relate to me.

So a lot of changes will be happening soon and I hope you guys have been enjoying my blog so far! Stay tuned for my January series and more exciting, new things!

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...

Updated: How I currently store my makeup

Hey guys! Back in January, I took everyone through my entire, well majority of my makeup collection. I showed how I used to store my makeup. You can see that original post  here.  I had everything stored in my empty Birchboxes. It was working for a while until I went to two makeup shows and I didn't have a place for everything! As I was cleaning one day, I saw that had this tall storage bin with stuff that I don't even use anymore and thought it would be a great place to store all my makeup and still have it organized. Here is a picture of where my makeup is currently stored. I believe I purchased this 7 drawer unit at Walmart years ago and glad I kept it! It has come in handy. I'll take you through what is in each drawer. I'll start with the top of the unit where all my brushes, setting sprays (that I haven't used yet lol), OCC lip tars( I couldn't find anything to store them in but that red cup lol. I'll have to decorate it later.) and other items...

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over ...
