Resolute Beauty Blogger-February and March 2015



Happy Thursday!!! Things have been a little crazy this week and kinda glad I have a day off tomorrow to relax and get some stuff done. Well I didn't update on my goals last month so I am combining them with this month's progress. I'm almost at the end of this and so amazed at how far I've come. Let's get into how I've been progressing with my goals!!


Blogging Goals

1. Set A Blogging Schedule- Before I started my new full time status, I had my set Sunday, Tuesday and Friday schedule. After taking a small break to get adjusted to everything, my new schedule is now Sunday and Thursday. It took a little bit to figure out a schedule that was really going to work and I could stick to. So far, it's been good!!

2.Change Up Current Style- I still want to make changes to the design of this blog and that is in the works. I have added a new fashion series to my blog which I'm really excited about. It gives me an excuse to shop more lol!! 

3.Attend A Blogging Event- I am still working very hard on this one and I have seen some I would love to attend but scheduling conflicts. I know I will get to one very soon!!

4.Proof Read Better- I have been kinda slacking on this but I am still reading over my post out loud before hitting the publish button. 

5. Get Calendar And Blogging Book- I am still using each one everyday and it helps so much since I have so much going on. It will be time for a new calendar soon and I'm on the hunt for a nice one. Any suggestions??

6. Learn More About Blogging- I have retained so much information over the past two months. I have been trying to study the info and use it. I'm really trying to retain readers and gain new ones. Trying to keep people coming back and returning and just trying to make things on Naturalle Drea a better experience.

Personal Goals

1. Wear Makeup More Often- I have been really having fun with creating new looks everyday. I even found my new signature everyday look. It is just not fun when it is time to clean all my brushes lol!!

2. Wear Skirts And Dresses More Often- I also have been enjoying putting outfits together and being very girly. I wear heels just about everyday I'm at work and just loving my new look.

3. Use BBW Stash More- I have been reaching for stuff more often. I had to throw away some older scents that didn't smell like the scent anymore. I also have been reaching for perfumes more but I've been balancing between both.

4. Not Stress So Much- I can't even think about the last time I've been really stressed about stuff. I do get overwhelmed at times but I've calmed down a lot.

5. Be More Prepared And Organized- Since I have started my new full time position, I had no choice but to be more organized. I have to get up even earlier now to get myself ready before waking up my son and getting him ready. I already have lunches packed and clothes laid out the night before. It's been a little struggle waking up so early but it is all worth it.

6. Finding Myself And Figuring Out What I Want To Do- Things in my life have been pretty good so far. I'm working full time now, loving my job and those that I work with, going back to school to get my masters and a little more financially stable. I know things before were a little shaky and I never lost faith that things would start to look up. I knew things would get better and I'm glad for these first few steps. I'm really working towards what I really want to do and see myself in 5 years.

So that is it for my personal and blogging goals. How are you making out with goals you set for yourself?? Comment below and let me know. Enjoy your weekend and see you Sunday.

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...

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!  ...
