Chapter 34

By the time this post goes up, it will be my birthday! I can't believe I will be turning 34! I don't look a day over 16 lol (people actually think I'm 16 when I'm out sometimes lol). I am just so grateful to be seeing another year of life and looking forward to what this year has in store for me. 

When I was about to turn 30, I was so scared to be leaving my twenties. I didn't want to get older but I embraced my thirties and now I'm scared of getting close to 40 lol. I have learned that it is okay to get old, you get wiser and learn a lot of things. You start to realize some things about yourself and others around you. I've learned that not everyone that you call a friend is actually your friend. You can't keep people close that are no good for you and it may hurt but then you will realize that you are much better off without those people. You really start to learn about yourself and your purpose in life and just everything. 

I am loving what I am learning about myself everyday and look forward to learning so much more. Plus this is my first birthday as Mrs. Johnson!! I'm excited about having the day off and enjoying myself. 

Have a great start to the week and see you guys Thursday!!

HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY REVIEW OF COSMETICS BY COCOA??

    Happy Birthday Drea! You are so right...not everyone looks at your friendship the way you do. I have learned that the hard way. Real friends are hard to come by now a days. That's how I feel. Enjoy your birthday! I hope you have a great day.

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!  ...
