On A Personal Note...Am I The Bad Friend??

It seems like Summer is here already with this weather. It has been pretty warm lately. A while back I wrote a post about friendship. You can see that post  RIGHT HERE. Since then I started to sort of distance myself from certain people due to actions that have done or noticed that they have changed. I was never the friend who really said anything or told someone about themselves when they needed to hear it. That wasn't me. I was the goofy, wild, life of the party friend who always made everyone laugh. I was also there when you needed somewhere to stay or something happened, I was there. I feel like I expected so much out of other people but what was I giving back in return? Was I actually the bad friend and placing blame on others? Friendship was so much easier when we were younger. You just played all day, shared laughs, sleepovers, talked on the phone about boys and school for hours and it was a no judgement zone. You didn't talk about your friend, was always loyal,

Hope you guys have a great weekend see you Tuesday! HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT THIS MONTH'S  BLACK OWNED BUSINESS FEATURE?? ~**Drea Notes**~ I can't believe my son will be going to 2nd grade soon! He is growing so fast! I can't wait to see The Incredibles 2, I think my son is more excited than I am lol.

Black Owned Business Feature: True Products

I am so excited to talk about this next company and product. When I discovered that there was a Black Owned laundry detergent, I had to support and try it. I have not used another detergent since trying this one by True Products. True Products was started in 2012 as a manufacturing and distribution company that specializes in household cleaning supplies. This company is based in Atlanta, Georgia and is veteran owned.  I love that you only need one capful for a load of laundry. Directly from the site,  True Detergent is 4x concentrated and allows consumers to use less soap. It is void of any caustic ingredients and animal essences thus making it a truly safe detergent for all types of machines and fabrics and also safe for the whole family. Powerful and economical, its concentrated nature allows users to use less soap for more cleaning power leading to tremendous savings and results. One of the things that you will notice about True Detergent is the fact that it has low

Quick Fix Daytime Makeup

As a Mom and someone who is always running late or in a rush, I don't have a lot of time to beat this face or look presentable. Sometimes I only have like 5 extra minutes to spare and came up with this makeup routine. I have tried out so many products to get this one that you will see. I wanted to gear this towards other moms and other women who don't have a lot of time in the morning for a full face but want to still look effortless walking into the office. Make sure you watch the video all the way until the end. So that is it for my makeup tutorial. What are some of your quick makeup tips? Comment below and let me know. Have a great weekend and see you guys Tuesday!! HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY  HAIR DEMO/TUTORIAL?? ~**Drea Notes**~ Well, seems like the Cavs may get swept by the Warriors, we will see in Game 4. I am loving World of Dance so far this season and can't wait for Shades of Blue to come back. I'm kinda sad it is the final season cause it is such
