Resolute Beauty Blogger- Decemeber 2014

 
 
 
 
 
Happy Rainy Tuesday!! Christmas will be here Thursday and I haven't wrapped one present yet lol!! I have so much to do as always lol!! Well here is my monthly progress of my blogging and personal goals I have set for myself. Let's see how I did thins month!!
 
Blogging Goals
 
1. Set A Blogging Schedule - I'm still sticking to my Sunday, Tuesday and Friday schedule.
 
2. Get New Calendar and Blogging Book- I'm currently planning post for January and possibly a giveaway since my birthday is next month! I've been taking notes on products I've been using, ideas I have and keeping track of everything!!
 
3. Learn More About Blogging- I've been researching on how to drive more traffic to my blog, be more engaging, and how change a few things. I've found a lot of good information!!
 
4. Attend A Blogging Event- I've still been unsuccessful at this. I have been looking around but hopefully I find something soon. My friends and I got our tickets to IMATS next year, I'm so excited!!
 
5. Change Up The Current Style- This is still in the works but I have made a Facebook page for my blog, you can follow Here!!  I'm hoping to make a few changes to how my blog looks and figure out how to get the social media buttons on my page, just gotta get over to my cousin's house soon.
 
6. Proof Read Better- I've been doing okay with this, don't see as many mistakes as before.
 
Personal Goals
 
1. Wear Dresses and Skirts More Often- I forgot how much fun it was to really put outfits together and dress up. I've been wearing plenty of dresses and skirts this month. It makes me feel more girly.
 
2. Wear Makeup More Often- I've been doing this and started posting Face Of The Day on Instagram and my Facebook page. I'm trying to put a dent in what I have before IMATS lol!!
 
3. Use BBW Stash- I've been wearing Japanese Cherry Blossom all month and started wearing Twisted Peppermint this week. I'm going to try not to buy anymore body care stuff at the semi-annual sale, lol!!
 
4. Be More Prepared and Organized- I've been half and half with this one. I try to prepare lunches and stuff the night before but some nights I'm so tired, I don't feel like it. I have been waking up early most mornings to get ready but sometimes I will sleep past that alarm lol!
 
5. Not Stress So Much- I have a more positive attitude and outlook on life. I know I sometimes dwell in the past but I need to look forward. No major meltdowns this month, I've been good!
 
6. Finding Myself and Figuring Out What I Want To Do- I'm still job searching like crazy. I'm in the process of rewriting my resume. I did have an interview but didn't get the job. I was just happy that someone called my in for one. I know more are coming soon and that right job will too.
 
Well that is it for the Resolute Beauty Blogger for December. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you enjoy time with your family and have a great holiday. I will back next Tuesday with a new post. I want to enjoy my time off and the holiday season with my family. See you guys next Tuesday!!

    Nice goals Andrea! I would love to attend a blogger event. From what I've seen they look like fun and a great way to network! I know what you mean about not stressing as much. I'm currently trying to work on my stress level. Good luck with the job searching! Great post!

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!  ...
