On a personal note....

Its been a while since I have posted on this series! I have just been so busy with just about everything! Can't believe March is already here but Spring still hasn't made an appearance lol! The other day I was getting ready in the morning and I just heard my son calling "Mommy! Mommy!" Still crazy that I'm a mommy now and its just amazing how you can just love someone so much. I'm loving every minute of this. I've always loved children, I have lots of smaller cousins, nieces and nephews. It was just great to have them around, laughing and playing and just having so much fun. I always tried to imagine what kind of parent I would be, what my kids would be like and everything. I was initially scared when I discovered I was pregnant. It was like wow, I'm really going to experience bringing another life into this world. I just worried so much about doing everything right, eating right, making sure he was going to be healthy and taking care of myself. As it got closer and closer to my due date I really thought about how life was really going to change. How it's not just the two of us anymore, we have someone else to take care of. My role as a person was going to change and I was hoping I would be a good parent and raise my son as best as I could along with my boyfriend together. I'm just so thankful that I have so many life lessons from my family and the support from friends and family. When the day came, I was just so anxious to meet my son and see his face. I was so emotional when I first saw him. It was amazing that I really had a child. It was love at first sight. I was just in awe of this little person. Just to see the person that was kicking me all hours of the night and know that this is our responsibility now. It was crazy when we left the hospital because it was like " Okay so what do we do now?" So far we both have done such an amazing job with our son. He is such a happy and wonderful person who brings a lot of happiness. We couldn't of imagine life without him. It really has been an adjustment but I love gushing over him so much! I really would like more children, not sure on how many more but hopefully I have a girl in the mix. Even though things in my personal life are slowly coming together, he keeps me pushing myself. I can't just give up or throw in the towel on some things, I don't want to show him that. I know it takes a lot of hard work to get through rough patches but I'm determined to really make it.

This cold weather is really taking a toll on my hands, they have been so dry lately!!

I think I want to start running more when it gets warmer.

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 ...
