Happily Ever Johnson:Just Engaged, so now what?

Happy Snowy Friday!! The snow is really starting to come down and it looks like I'll be snowed in for my birthday! I can always celebrate another weekend but was looking forward to this weekend. Well I hope you got the chance to watch my engagement story. You can see that post HERE!! Well I'm bringing the first post to my new series, Happily Ever Johnson(that is going to be my new last name lol). I'll be taking you guys along the whole planning process until the big day. Since we just engaged we've been doing a lot of talking about everything. It was just like where do we start with the whole process?? I found The Knot.Com and that website is just amazing!! It has everything and is very helpful! You can view different venues, make your guest list, and view pictures of just about everything. I love that it gives you a to-do list for things you should be doing every month up until the big day. Here is a snap shot of our checklist.

They have so many articles and just full of so much information so I don't feel so overwhelmed. We first thought about the budget which is the most important thing. You have to know what you can spend and the limit you want to set. I think this is very important! I really want a nice wedding within our budget. We next talked about a date. We wanted to have enough time to plan and enjoy the whole process so it will be Spring 2017! We also started selecting the wedding party and compiling our family and friends list. It just seems like a lot but I am up to the challenge. I decided to take on planning the wedding myself and with some help from family. I'm just so excited. My fiance also brought this planning book and mug for me. I love how hands on he is with this process.

I can't wait to get into this book!! I hope you guys stay safe and warm wherever you are and see you on Tuesday!!

I tried the new Latte Macchiato at Starbucks. I like it with a pump or two of Vanilla.

I hope this is the only big snow storm we are getting this year! Lol!

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 ...

On a personal note....Update on Blogging and Personal Goals

Happy Football Sunday!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it is this week! I can't wait to spend time with family! I thought about giving an update to the personal and blogging goals I set for myself last year with the Resolute Beauty Blogger series. You can check out my results post HERE!! I completed this in May of this year so let's see how I've been doing since then. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- Since then I have not attended another event. I was so happy when I did find my one event to attend. I have been keeping in contact with those bloggers I met and reading their blogs. I have been finding events but there are scheduling conflicts. I hope to find another one very soon. 2. Set A Blogging Schedule- I am still sticking to my Sunday, Thursday and every other Friday schedule. It has been really working with my hectic schedule I already have. 3. Change Up Current Style-...

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! ...
