It is crazy that my son is already telling me his Christmas list! They show too many toy commercials and this list grows everyday lol! Today I am sharing my September Favorites. CLICK HERE TO WATCH MY VIDEO!! So that is it for my September Favorites. What were you loving this month? Comment below and let me know. See you guys Friday!!! HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY LATEST POST ON A  POSSIBLE DUPE??

The Fall weather is starting to come in and I am loving it. I had a pretty busy weekend. I went to the Bad Boy Reunion Tour with my friends and it was one of the best concerts I've been to in a while! We were on our feet all night singing, dancing and I still sound horse lol. My son had a birthday party to go to and I attended a dance class. I have another full weekend coming up and super excited about it! Well today I am bringing a review and possible dupe to a pretty popular product. I first raved about the Boscia Konjac Cleansing sponge with Bamboo Charcoal in my last favorites video. This sponge has made a huge difference in how my skin looks and feels. This is geared towards those with combination to oily skin and helps with minimizing pores and smoother, brighter skin. The charcoal in the sponge acts like a natural antibacterial agent to help deep clean and detoxify pores. One day I was in Walmart and saw the Evri Konjac sponge and thought about doing a post comparing the t

It has been crazy at work the past couple of weeks!! I'm so thankful for the weather being so nice and days off to clear my head and kinda keep me sane. Well today I'm sharing my last Essence Beauty Box....sigh. They have decided to end the subscription and the reason is unknown but I'm kinda sad about it (You will see how I feel in the video lol). I really loved this subscription! CLICK HERE TO WATCH MY VIDEO!! So that is it for my last Essence box. Have you tried any of these products? Comment below and let me know. Also, what boxes are you subscribed to?  HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT THE LATEST WEDDING PLANNING UPDATE IN  HAPPILY EVER JOHNSON?? ~**Drea Notes**~ Did I mention I wasn't happy about this box ending? Lol! Super excited about going to the Bad Boy Reunion Tour on Friday with my friends!! I know we are going to have fun!!

It is crazy how you expect things to be vs reality of things. I can say that I expected different when planning a wedding and it is pretty much not how TV and movies made it look lol. Everyone has a different experience and mine is not like everyone else's. I'm just glad in a way that I'm not as stressed but this every little detail thing...ugh! I can say I have said YES to a dress! It was such a hard decision because I was between two dresses and it was so hard trying to choose one. I went with the one I kept thinking about, kept looking at the picture of myself in that dress over and over. I am so happy with my choice and can't wait til you guys see it. We have started our registries and still trying to put stuff on there. I didn't realize there was so much stuff and just trying to figure out what we really need and what to put on there. If I could I would put everything but you do have to narrow it down so people are not printing out a 20 page registry list. It c

I just realized I haven't updated you guys on my monthly goals and we are well into September lol. You can see my previous post  HERE!  Let's see how I made out last month with my goals. Try out some of those Tasty recipes floating around on Facebook lol I don't get to cook very often due to my work schedule. I know you have seen so many of these recipes floating around. My mom did make the Pesto Salmon and it was so good. Here is a picture of it.  Be more prepared for the next day I am the queen of last minute and running out the house. Lol. I have really stuck to this and it has been so helpful. I pack lunches, iron clothes and make sure everything is packed the night before. All I have to do in the morning is just get everything together and get out the house. I'm not scrambling anymore or running late trying to find something. Sometimes I'm telling m son he can't take all those toys to school lol!  Stick with morning workout I just have to la

I am enjoying this last bit of Summer before Fall but not this heatwave lol! I'm happy that Football season is back (Go Eagles) and looking forward Fall time activities. Today I am bringing you another Valentia review powered by BrandBacker. *I was sent this product complementary to review and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the review of this Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer! Powered By BrandBacker* I have tried a few products by this company and have loved each one of them. I was so excited to give this moisturizer a try. This is a light weight moisturizer that illuminates skin while providing all day hydration. I love how big the container is and you get a lot of product to last you for a while. It also has a pump so you don't dispense too much. I am very particular about what moisturizer I use. I look for ones that have of course amazing benefits for my skin and to help control my oily T-zone. Also, I look for moisturizers that keep

I have a lot of thoughts and things I want to write about on here. Most of the time, I just keep it to myself and sometimes it makes it on here. I kind of hold back some things and I'm not sure why. Maybe because I'm afraid of a backlash or how people may take what I'm saying. I'm trying to really break out of that and just express myself through my words. I am a blogger lol! I know many of you have seen recently that singer Alicia Keys decided to go makeup free. Her reasoning sounded so freeing and liberating and I really applaud her for that. I love those who stand out and are not afraid to be daring and take risks. What I can't stand is people, men and women telling other women they don't need to wear makeup or question why we do. Or those against not wearing makeup and telling others they need to. I have no issue at all stepping out the house without an ounce of makeup on. I'll look like I'm 16 lol but I can step out the house without it. I know some

It seems like Summer is still trying to hold on with this heatwave that is expected. I'm ready for some Fall weather now lol. Today I'm bringing you another tutorial. I wanted to get this up before Summer was over but felt like it could be a great transition into Fall. CLICK HERE TO WATCH MY VIDEO!! So that is it for this tutorial. What are some of your favorite Fall makeup trends? Comment below and let me know. See you guys Friday!!

Happy Tuesday!! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend! I had family over for a BBQ and it was fun laughing and watching my son and his cousins play together. I love when I can spend time with family. Today I am reviewing some new hair products I picked up a few months ago. You may have seen these mentioned in my Living No Lye Tour NYC haul I did in August. If you missed it, you can watch that haul  RIGHT HERE!!  Let's get into my thoughts of these T- Roots products. As I mentioned, these products and the company are new to me. I discovered them at the Team Natural hair event I went to. I'll admit I am a hair product junkie and want to try just about everything lol. When I went up to the table, I loved how each product was explained to me on how to use them, I could feel and smell each one and just get to know about what I was going to purchase. Also this is a Black Owned Company (so go support) and I'm all about supporting small businesses. I was so excited to
