Naturalle Drea

Funny thing is, I was trying to word this as not a good-bye because I'll still be blogging, just moving platforms lol. I can't get over how fast the Summer is going and it will be August on Wednesday. If you missed my initial announcement, I will be moving platforms as of this Thursday. You can follow me  RIGHT HERE!!! I know I eventually wanted to be dot com and wondered how and when I should move there. I want to grow and expand and be successful, that is the end goal right? I started here almost 5 years ago, I had no clue what I was about to get myself into and I just wanted a place for myself. This blog went through some name changes, writing styles, and so much to grow into where I am today. I figured I would find my platform, what I really wanted to talk about and just figure blogging out. I thought it was going to be easy at first but it was not. It was hard not to become so frustrated with no one really commenting at first and the low views not realizing I had to l

Funny things is, I was supposed to have a review up today on Ivy's Tea Co today but I forgot some the teas and honey at work lol. So I was staring at this screen before I started typing and was trying to figure out what to put up.  It is nice to admire others and inspire to be like them but it is also nice to be your own goals. It seems like social media has taken over and driving just about everything so you see like your goals and aspirations from your favorite influencer to celebrity. It is so easy to get caught up in other people's lives that you start to think that is how your life is supposed to go. You see your favorite Youtuber purchasing a new house, expensive car, going on shopping sprees, dating the hottest guy and so on. You see this and say to yourself, I want those things but in reality does it fit you and your current lifestyle?  I'll admit to purchasing some things I see others purchasing online but I will stop myself when it is something way out of

I have been working on bringing more fashion related post on here. I often get caught up with everything else that I forget about them or can't find what to post about. I am working on some things but I did pick up some things from Fashion Nova a little while ago. I am starting to become a fan of them.  So that was it for my Fashion Nova haul. What fashion pieces have you picked up lately? Comment below and let me know. Have a great weekend and see you guys Tuesday!! HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY LATEST  PERSONAL POST?? ~**Drea Notes**~ I am not sure what I have been doing but my nails have been growing and not breaking or chipping at all! I need to find this out so I can let you guys know. I can't believe my son will be turning 7 next month! He's getting so big too fast lol!

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

I have to say, I don't mind filming hair videos now. I was not a fan at first trying to film in the shower but it has gotten easier lol. Today on the blog I am sharing another hair demo featuring products from Mixed Chicks.  So that its for my review on Mixed Chicks. Which products are you interested in trying? Comment below and let me know. Have a great weekend and see you guys Tuesday!! HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY  SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT??

I have been back and forth about this for a while. The end goal of this blog and my brand that I'm trying to build is success. I have been just trying to figure out my next moves and what steps to take next. This particular move scared me a bit but I feel like I need to take that step out of faith and fully jump into this. You know the saying, if your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough.  Starting August 2nd, Naturalle Drea is will be moving to Word Press and officially naturalledrea.com! I am excited for this move and so thankful for those who started this journey here with me! I started this platform as outlet for myself to talk about the things I love and I have grown and learned so much from when I started over 4 years ago. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I first started but I fell in love with writing and creating content. I never thought I would start a Youtube channel either and I love creating videos (except for editing late at nig
