On a personal note......

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and cold weather! This is something that I've been seeing a lot of lately and I'm kinda fed up with it. I honestly debated on writing about it but it has been on my mind for a while and I just had to write about it. I've been trying to wrap my head around why women do more tearing down of each other instead of being more supportive. I see a lot of this on social media and it's sickening. One thing I saw was a recent YouTuber that hit 1 million and an Instagram page posted a picture of her congratulating her and the comments where so uncalled for and ridiculous. People were basically saying that because she's light skin, she's not black and just being straight up ignorant for no reason. You just couldn't say congratulations on her hitting a milestone, you had to be disrespectful for no reason. I just can't understand why people feel the need to be Internet bullies and say whatever they feel in the comments of people's pages. If you don't like the person, video or picture.....just ignore it. I see a lot of this in my community and I'm tired of it. I'm supportive of everyone, no matter what it is you are doing, what color you are or anything. It is just sad. I'm sick of the battle of natural hair vs relaxed hair. I have had both and just so happens that my hair being in its natural state works better for me. I don't bash anyone that still relaxes their hair, I'm supportive of healthy hair. I'm sick of the light skin vs dark skin. We are all the same race, does it really matter??? We don't support each other enough and then complain about not seeing enough of us hitting 1 million on YouTube or on social media or business owners. We don't support each other!! On the other side of it, I do see women supporting each other, reposting each other, purchasing their products and saying nothing but genuine and good things about them. Why can't we see more of that around? Why can't we just use our good judgment or common sense? I don't know what is wrong with some people. I'm going to continue to be supportive of everyone, even if I don't get the support back. It is okay because I know who I have in my corner and who truly supports me. I'm so appreciative of everyone who has been trying to help me with this blog and make it better and giving me that constructive criticism.I'm going to be more supportive of my fellow bloggers and YouTubers.  I love blogging and hope to start doing tutorials soon. I know that ignorant comments do come with that and ignorant people.I'm surprised that I have 31 subscribers on YouTube and hope to gain more. I hope to gain more readers and commenters on my blog. Its okay if I have a little or huge following. I do this because I love it. I hope that women can come together more and be more supportive instead of tearing each other down.

I'm sorry but I just needed to say something about this. Hey this is my platform here and feel like I should be more personal sometimes and speak about things.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you guys tomorrow.

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!  ...
