June Goal Results and July Goals

I had such an amazing weekend! I went to an event in New York (it will on the blog soon) and hung out with friends. What did you guys do this past weekend? Today I am bring you the results of my June Goals and ones I have set for July. You can see last month's goals HERE!!

Create a schedule for Schoolwork and Blogging (including a YouTube Schedule)

This had to be done because I was just all over the place trying to get things done and it was driving me a little crazy. I wasn't making enough time for everything and was falling behind on some things. Also recording and editing videos is very time consuming and I would sometimes be up so late at night trying to get the next day's post up and I would be so tired going into work the next day. The schedule really seemed to work and helped me so much. I have days were I would record videos, prep post, do my schoolwork and time for rest. With this schedule, I wanted to have day were videos go up on my channel. I was just all over the place with that as well. Now videos will be on the blog and channel every other Thursday and Friday.

Bring Back Workout Challenge with DVD's

*Sigh*.... I've come to notice that I cannot force the workout unless I'm willing to make the time for it. I know that I want to be healthy and be active but I have to find a way to fit it in my busy schedule. If that means that I have to workout after work or early in the morning then it will happen. I actually did workout for two weeks and started to see results but just fell off after that. I will get it together at some point, especially with the wedding coming up.

30 Day Accountability and Inspirational Journal

I was very successful with this one, well the month isn't over yet but this has been so helpful. This is from Life According To Her by Ahyiana Angel. I met her at the I Need New Friends event I attended in April. You can check out that post HERE! Ahyiana's business is a community that is all about uplifting and supporting women. It is also a place for resources on business advancement and just learning. This journal unfortunately is unavailable but please check out her website RIGHT HERE!! I have learned so much about myself doing this journal and it has made me aware that I need to have more accountability for myself and things I am trying to do.

Here are the goals that I have set for July:

Get through a book
Stick to schedule for schoolwork and blogging
No meat during the week

Did you have goals set from last month? How did you make out? Comment below and let me know. See you guys Thursday!!

~**Drea Notes**~

Can you believe July will be here already?? I'm ready for this holiday weekend!

I'm curious about that Strawberry Acai refresher with Coconut Milk at Starbucks but its been sold out. It must be good then lol!

I'm going to look at wedding dresses again this weekend. I'm excited that things are starting to come together.

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

On a personal note....Update on Blogging and Personal Goals

Happy Football Sunday!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it is this week! I can't wait to spend time with family! I thought about giving an update to the personal and blogging goals I set for myself last year with the Resolute Beauty Blogger series. You can check out my results post HERE!! I completed this in May of this year so let's see how I've been doing since then. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- Since then I have not attended another event. I was so happy when I did find my one event to attend. I have been keeping in contact with those bloggers I met and reading their blogs. I have been finding events but there are scheduling conflicts. I hope to find another one very soon. 2. Set A Blogging Schedule- I am still sticking to my Sunday, Thursday and every other Friday schedule. It has been really working with my hectic schedule I already have. 3. Change Up Current Style-

Fall Fashion Trends 2017

I keep saying it but I'm going to speak it into existence, I'm going to New York Fashion Week one of these days. It has always been a dream of mine to go and I always miss when it is or have a conflicting schedule but I'm determined to get there. Speaking of fashion, I wanted to share some of my favorites Fall Fashions trends I've seen floating around. Plaid Image taken from the web I feel like plaid is one of those classic patterns that is always in style. It may not be in the forefront but you always see it. I love plaid, I don't wear it often but I just love how you can dress it up or down, be casual or dressy with it. I would normally wear a plaid button up shirt but would like to venture into different pieces. Sleepwear When I first saw people doing this, I wasn't a fan but the more I saw different versions, I started to like it. I like this trend when it is done right. I feel like this can be worn on a night out, something you
