Fall Favorites 2014- Skincare

Happy Sunday!! I've had another busy day with coaching my girls at a playoff game and it was so cold out there and birthday party. Also trying to get this laundry completed before it drives me crazy!! So here is the second post to my Fall Favorites and it is going to be on skincare.

Body


The colder weather is not so nice to my skin. I need to use something heavy to help keep my skin moisturized and soft. I just picked up the Nivea Essentially Enriched lotion and have been loving it so far. My skin is so soft and stays moisturized and doesn't get ashy lol. Its also good to reach for a good body cream or body butter to help your dry skin. I love the ones from Bath and Body Works.



It is also good to switch up your body cleansers when it gets cooler out. I still use a shower gel but will reach more for body creams to wash with. They are so moisturizing and help with keeping the moisture in your skin. Its also important to exfoliate your skin to help get rid of the dead skin cells and help keep your skin feeling smooth and soft. I love the Tree Hut body scrubs, they are not abrasive on your skin and leave it feeling so good. I also love making my own body scrubs to save on money.

Skin


Along with my body, my face gets dry as it gets colder. I need to use a heavier moisturizer on my face and I have been loving my L'oreal Active Daily Moisturizer so far. It does make my T-zone a bit more oily but it keeps my face moisturized all day. I also try to exfoliate my skin more and use a mask. I have been slacking on that but it really helps maintain your skin and keep it looking youthful.

Another tip is to drink plenty of water. You have to take care of your self on the inside too. I drink nothing but water when I am at work and I love that my job has a water machine. I can just refill my bottle all day. I've noticed a difference in my skin and body, it helps with retaining moisture.



So that is it for my Skincare Fall Favorites. What body and skin products do you love to use when it gets colder? Comment below and let me know. Hope you enjoyed your weekend and see you guys Tuesday!!

Anyone try the new holiday drink from Starbucks? I was going to over the weekend but wanted to wait.

It feels different having my hair straight. I've been trying to think of things to do with it lol. I kinda miss my curls.

Can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!! I'm excited to eat all day and spend time with family!!

    1. Yes Jackie, you should give the Tree Hut scrub a try. Sometimes oils work, sometimes I need something heavier. Thanks for stopping by!

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 ...
