On a personal note.....

Happy Sunday loves!! Anyone having a Superbowl party or going to one? I will be watching the game but not going to a party. I haven't done a post in this series in a while and just want to talk to you guys. It seems like a light finally went off in my head and I got it. really pushed myself and workout out for a whole month and it felt great. I'm starting to see some great changes with my body and I'm going to continue to keep going. I feel so determined and motivated now and wondered what happened. I guess I wasn't ready for what is about to come in my life. I've learned to stop dwelling in the past and stop wondering what should of happened and what could of happened. I'm looking forward and not turning back anymore. I've learned to stop looking at what other people have that I don't, it's just not my time to have it. I know things I really want in life will come when I'm ready for it. I'm really working on my resume, applying for jobs like crazy and just waiting to hear "You got the job". I know it is coming soon. I made the decision to go back to school and get my masters and figuring out what career path is right for me. I just feel like I've been changing so much and I never gave up. Things may seem so crazy in this world and in life but you should always keep going and not give up. Never give up on your dreams, always go for what you want. I'm so thankful for those who believe in me and always support everything I do. My cousin gave me a camera he was no longer using so I can record better videos and my boyfriend got me tripod for the camera. I have found so much research on how to make this blog better and I want to succeed at blogging. The other day, another blog called Brown Girl Bloggers started following me on Twitter and when I went to their site, I was on there all day. They had so much information and things I never knew about. I learned so much and registered to be apart of their community. I took a chance and started putting some of my videos on You Tube and now have 21 subscribers. I just want to encourage you to just keep moving towards your goals and never give up. Things always get better in life, you just have to have faith and believe in yourself. Hope you have a great week, enjoy the Superbowl and see you Tuesday!!!

So ready for the warm weather to come, so over Winter lol!!

I'm hoping to start doing makeup and hair tutorials soon!!

Can you believe February is here already??

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 ...
