DIY Facial Mask Review ~ Coffee

So yesterday concluded my DIY facial mask for November. Can you believe that Thanksgiving is this week and Christmas is a month away!! Well this time I tried a mask that had coffee in it. I didn't follow the exact recipe because I didn't need all that extra. I just eyeballed enough for just one time but here are the ingredients:
4 Tbsp Coffee Beans, grounded
4 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
8 Tbsp Dairy Product
2Tbsp of Honey
Mix the first two, add the dairy and stir until it makes a paste and then stir in the honey. Apply to a clean face, let dry and use a wet washcloth to loosen and rinse.

For the dairy product, I used yogurt and I used instant coffee that comes in a can. It was pretty easy to make but it took a little time stirring to make the paste. I believe it took about 10 minutes for it to harden on my face and boy did it get tight!! It did take a little to loosen but it left a really nice glow on,my face. I did break out just a tiny but but I liked the mask.
The caffeine in the coffee helps reduce swelling and puffiness, the antioxidants in the cocoa powder help reduce ageing and the tougher helped replenish moisture. I noticed that all of the mask I tried had honey in the recipe.
So out of the four mask I tried, I would most likely use them all again but I really liked the Oatmeal mask the best because of the results.
Hope you guys enjoyed these DIY facial mask, let me know of you have tried any of them out and your results!

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...

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 ...
