On a personal note.....

I think I have embraced my new age of 30 now, I'm over the initial fear I had about leaving my 20's. But I'm still like trying to figure out my life. I had to stop by the store on day and when I got back in the car, I just broke down. Things were just going all kinds of crazy that week. My current employer is making one too many changes and it affects my position. Plus I'm only part time for now and this job market is crazy, it's so hard trying to find something, let alone get into an interview. And I just want to be able to support my family and be stable. I'm grateful for having a roof over my head, even though I'm still at home, I have a job and clothes on my back. I've been struggling to learn patience. I'm always trying to rush everything and I need to let go of the wheel because I am not in control. Things happen for a reason and I know that things will get better, I will get where I need to be, but not on my time. I just have to keep pushing and keep myself motivated that I can cross the finish line and overcome this setback!

  1. Set backs are what makes us stronger as we persevere through them. I always remember a quote: "You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice that you have."
    Keep pushing on Adrea...it will all be worth it. (I give myself this same pep talk all the time when things become a little unbearable)

    Have a wonderful day xo

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...

No Buy is Officially Over!!

Yay!! I survived 2 months without a single makeup purchase!! I am so proud of myself and knew I had the will power to do it!! It really helped me staying out of Sephora, Ulta and Mac, the usual places that get me in trouble lol! When I went into Target or Walmart, I wouldn't even go near the makeup section. Funny thing is, I haven't run to the store yet to purchase anything on my wish list yet but I will soon. You can see what is on my wish list here.  After organizing my makeup, I realized I have a lot of products that I don't use and need to try out soon. I'm going to try to really shop my stash before running out and buying something new. Maybe next time, I will go for a 3 month no buy!! Have you successfully completed a no buy? What is currently on your wish list? Comment below and let me know!! ~** Drea Notes**~ We went to the beach today and I'm so glad we did! It was such a fun day with the family!! I'm trying to get back to working out lol!  ...
