January Goals and Special Announcement

Happy New Year!! I can't believe it is already 2016 and I wish everyone nothing but good things in the new year. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and spent time with family and friends! 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. This month I want to work on the following:

Drink more water- I have been slacking so much on this. I used to drink water all day at work and just have been slowly getting away from it.

Exercise More- This is also something that is not easy to do. I don't have my gym in the area of where I work and it is hard to workout before or after work. I have a few DVDs I can use and Nike Training Club on my phone.

Set a budget- I have a lot of exciting things coming up that I really need to save up for. I do a lot of impulse buying and I need to save more money. This is going to be hard but it needs to be done.

Take my vitamins- I got away from taking my vitamins as well. The bottle is just sitting on the kitchen table waiting for me to start taking them again.

So at the end of the month, I will let you guys know how I made out. See you guys on Tuesday!!

Have you checked out my previous post on my December Birchbox and Ispy??

  4. Great goals! I need to eat healthier which is a constant struggle for me. Blog schedules are def to keep up with if you have an already hectic life. 2x a week is hard for me now.

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-...

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...
