Happily Ever Johnson: Changing Plans

Happy Tuesday!! I am loving this beautiful weather and hope it stays for a while. I know in my last post I was feeling pretty overwhelmed and getting a little stressed out. I figured planning your own wedding would be stressful but not this stressful!! Well after talking and a few discussions, we have decided to change this to a destination wedding!! My fiance suggested this when we first got engaged but I really didn't hear him. I just kinda envisioned what I always dreamed of and ran with it. I didn't realize how expensive a wedding would be and I just shut out his opinion in a way. I kept saying "Oh, this is our day, not just mine" but I was acting like it was mine. I had to realize how much we would be saving with a destination wedding and how much stress that would take off of us and myself. It really pays to open your mind to others and really listen to people. I just never thought of having a destination wedding but the more I learn about it and research, the more I'm loving the idea. I have only been to the Bahamas and the thought of getting married on the beach or in a tropical location is an amazing idea. I'm thankful to those who have given me advice and shared their own experiences with having a destination wedding.My aunt and uncle had a destination vow renewal and she is helping me with this process. I'm still growing and learning and I know that I need to work on listening to others and not just sticking to what I want. I just got super excited and my eyes grew bigger than my pockets. We have so many other things to consider besides this wedding. I'll admit that I'm kinda sad about giving up the venue we picked but I believe this will be an experience we won't forget. So now I'll be taking you along as we plan this destination wedding. This will be pretty interesting. Now I need to start dress shopping because I know that will be process for me lol! Did you have a destination wedding? Have you attended one? What was your experience? Comment below and let me know. See you guys Thursday!!

    Congrats on making this decision - your destination wedding is going to be so much fun! I was a bridesmaid in a wedding in Bermuda and it was absolutely beautiful.

    Destination wedding sounds exciting! I've never attended one and can't wait to read your journey. Tropical destination sounds fun and relaxing.

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

Naturalle Drea Is.....

I have been back and forth about this for a while. The end goal of this blog and my brand that I'm trying to build is success. I have been just trying to figure out my next moves and what steps to take next. This particular move scared me a bit but I feel like I need to take that step out of faith and fully jump into this. You know the saying, if your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough.  Starting August 2nd, Naturalle Drea is will be moving to Word Press and officially naturalledrea.com! I am excited for this move and so thankful for those who started this journey here with me! I started this platform as outlet for myself to talk about the things I love and I have grown and learned so much from when I started over 4 years ago. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I first started but I fell in love with writing and creating content. I never thought I would start a Youtube channel either and I love creating videos (except for editing late at nig
