On A Personal Note..Where have I been?

I always dread Spring Forward lol. Of course the obvious reason is losing an hour of sleep but my son is always thrown off his schedule and it always a struggle for bedtime lol. Hopefully since he is older, it won't be as tough.

I did announce on my Instagram and Facebook that I was taking a break but not on here. It was something that really wasn't planned but the way life is set up, it just happened. Sometimes life throws you things that are really out of your control and it can be hard to adapt. You sometimes have to take a couple steps back and figure some things out. I am pretty good with adapting to change but this time it was something that really threw me off. 

I will be back soon, I have so much content that I want to get out, products I want to review and so on. I just wanted to check in and say hi and that I'm still here lol. Hopefully you guys are having a great start to the new year and I'll see you soon.

By the way, can we talk about Black Panther really quick! That movie was EVERYTHING! From start to finish, it was such an amazing movie. I was so excited to go see it and it blew my expectations out of the water. My son loved the movie so much, I think he was more excited than my husband and I were lol. I just want to see it again and own it on DVD whenever it comes out. It was so worth waiting over a year to see this movie!

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...

Updated: How I currently store my makeup

Hey guys! Back in January, I took everyone through my entire, well majority of my makeup collection. I showed how I used to store my makeup. You can see that original post  here.  I had everything stored in my empty Birchboxes. It was working for a while until I went to two makeup shows and I didn't have a place for everything! As I was cleaning one day, I saw that had this tall storage bin with stuff that I don't even use anymore and thought it would be a great place to store all my makeup and still have it organized. Here is a picture of where my makeup is currently stored. I believe I purchased this 7 drawer unit at Walmart years ago and glad I kept it! It has come in handy. I'll take you through what is in each drawer. I'll start with the top of the unit where all my brushes, setting sprays (that I haven't used yet lol), OCC lip tars( I couldn't find anything to store them in but that red cup lol. I'll have to decorate it later.) and other items...

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!  ...
