Blogger Behind The Scenes Tag

My Christmas tree is still up lol. That is only part I don't like about the holidays is taking everything down. I will get to it soon, hopefully. So during my Christmas break, I was reading through everyone's blogs and commenting and came across a tag Rhondine at Napps & Sass did. I thought it was a nice tag so I decided to do it myself!

Where do you blog?

I am always on the couch with a glass of wine, laptop on lap and sometimes watching tv. I sometimes blog from my tablet or phone but majority of the time, it is on the couch.

Where do you find inspiration for your blog post?

I try to map things out ahead of time so I can figure out what I want to blog about, what products I want to review and videos to record. I love talking about beauty products that I've tried and love, my subscription boxes, hair and fashion so the inspiration comes from there.

How long does it take you to do a blog post?

It really depends on the type of post. If it involves a video, that takes the longest. I'm bad with pre-recording, most of the time I'm filming the night before, editing, taking pictures, waiting for it to upload. That take a few hours. If it is a review on a product, it can take about a half hour to 45 minutes. If it is a personal post, it takes about a half hour.

Do you plan your blog post? If so, how?

Yes I plan my blog post. I use my task calendar on my tablet to keep track of what I want to post for the month. I usually see what products I've used to review, have one or two personal posts, my subscription box and favorites. I just go through the month and map out what post I'm going to do each week and try to plan ahead with the picture taking and filming.

What is your favorite type of blog post to write?

I really like when I review my beauty samples. It is fun trying out new products that I've received from subscription boxes and seeing what works and what doesn't. I always discover new favorites and exposed to companies that are new to me.

What kind of camera do you use?

For my pictures, that is all my phone lol. I have the LG5 and love the camera on it. When I record my videos, I am currently using the FujiFilm Finepix S. I am in the market for a new camera to record with and take pictures with.

What editing program do you use?

Adobe Premier

Do you use a notebook to track your ideas?

I use to but now I use my tablet for that. It is easier to carry around lol.

Do you take your own pictures?

Yes I do!

Who knows about your blog?

My family and friends know about it and those that follow me on here and social media.

Are you an organized or messy blogger?

I will say that I am in the middle. I do plan out my post ahead of time but always doing things last minute lol. I'm working on it!

Biggest Blogging Pet Peeve?

Hmmmm.... I don't think that I have one lol.

So that is it for this tag. I tag all of you who read this to this as well. See you guys Friday!

HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY PREVIOUS POST WELCOMING YOU TO THE NEW YEAR??

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!  ...
