Happy Tuesday!! I can't believe we finally got some snow! It was only a little bit but my son was super excited to see it! Today I am doing a review on my Spice VoxBox I received from Influenster. *I received these products for testing purposes and this is my opinion after using each product. You can see my unboxing post  HERE!!  Let's get into the reviews! Soapbox Coconut with Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner I was so excited when I saw these bottles in my box! I love trying out new hair products and I loved this shampoo and conditioner. First off, they smell so amazing!! I love that they are sulfate, paraben and color free. Those are the main things I look for in my hair products. The shampoo really got my hair clean and left my hair feeling pretty soft. You don't need a lot to wash with which is great. I loved how creamy and thick the conditioner was. It was easy to detangle my hair with it and left it feeling super soft. The containers are pretty big...

Happy Tuesday! It has been so cold outside lately. I have been staying inside to stay warm! Well today is another post from Shopping My Beauty Samples series. Let's get into the reviews!! Dr. Jart Demaclear Micro Water Box It Came From: Birchbox Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 32.00 Review: I love trying out new toners and cleansing waters. I really love this one from Dr. Jart. It is so gentle on the skin, really gets down and removes everything. It gets the extra makeup that you may have missed and just the dirt from all day or night. I would most likely repurchase this. Eden BodyWorks Coconut Shea Leave In Conditioner Box It Came From: Essence Beauty Box Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 8.99 Review: I'm always trying out new hair products out of curiosity and I have been loving this leave in conditioner. It smells so good and I love how creamy it is. It really helps keep the moisture and softness in ...

Happy Thursday! Man this week at work has been so crazy! Classes started up again and it has just been super busy. I can't wait to relax this weekend! It is funny how some things just happen for a reason. I wanted to put up a video today but my laptop decided to start acting crazy and I got a little frustrated but it was okay. I was think man what can I put up today and thought to give a little update to what is going on. My life is about to get a little more hectic and bust with planning my wedding. I got engaged December 26 and it was a total surprise! I plan on filming my engagement story soon and will be introducing a new series documenting the whole process. I was trying to think of a name of this series and hope to come up with one soon. I hope I don't drive myself crazy with all this planning but it will be well worth it when the big day. I'm just super excited about everything. I really have to buckle down and save save save!! It is going to be hard because I do a l...

I just wanted to come on here to let you guys know Naturalle Drea's new blogging schedule. I really thought about my schedule and how hectic everything was. I really needed to set a better schedule for myself so I have time to do things. Now there will be posts on Tuesday, Thursday and every other Friday . Also I will be starting monthly goals as a new series. I will post at the beginning of the month a few things I want to accomplish or improve and will post the results at the end of the month.

Exercise More- This is also something that is not easy to do. I don't have my gym in the area of where I w...
