Big Little Lies Review

Happy Sunday. My team isn't playing today but it's still good to watch some football. Well this post is going to be on Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty from Birchbox Book Club. This book was a long one, 458 pages to be exact. It really took me a while to read it but was very worth it!! 


This book kept me guessing the whole way through on what really happened and who did what. It took me a while to figure out this takes place is Australia, I knew it was somewhere overseas because the children were saying "Mummy." I'm not going to give too much away because this is so worth reading. This story starts out in the beginning of the school year for some first time kindergarteners. It mainly focuses on the parents of some of the children. Drama already starts to unfold before the children go to orientation. I love how the author puts police statements by some of the parents at the end of each chapter about the night in question. It really keeps you guessing about what happened during the Trivia Night and who did what. Every family has many secrets, lies, drama and just craziness in thier lives. Most of the moms really take it to the extreme and are very catty. When I finally got to the night in question and it was revealed what happened, I dropped the book and was literally running around going " Oh my gosh!! Really???" 

If you haven't read this book, please go out and get it. I know over 400 pages is a lot to get through but it is so worth reading!! The author did an excellent job with this book and I would like to read more books by her. I didn't get picked for this months book which was the series of Gone Girl but I hope to get picked for next months book. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you guys Tuesday!!

  1. Wow you read a ton of books! I used to get through a whole book in a bout a week before I started blogging. Now blogging takes up way too much of my time which leaves very little time for reading :(

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...

Make Beauty Review*

Happy Friday beauty lovers! I hope you have been enjoying Winter again lol! I hope Mother Nature gets it together soon lol. Today I am bringing you another review powered by BrandBacker! *I was sent these products for testing purposes and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the reviews! *Powered By BrandBacker* I was pretty excited when I was picked for this campaign. I have tried a Make Beauty eyeshadow before and loved it. Honestly, I was expecting the samples to be a little bigger. I was a little disappointed in the lipstick sample, it was hard to use. It kept breaking when I was trying to apply it. Make Beauty is a very new company to me that I was introduced to through Birchbox.  They have just about everything from eyeshadows to contour kits. They also have a line for skincare as well. Alabaster Eyeshadow This shadow on the Make Beauty site is described as a soft eggshell with peach undertones. This shadow is a matte and can be used as a brow ...

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!  ...
