Pieces Of Ashley

I decided to do a mini review on the "Conair Curls 'n Curls Curling Iron", because I wanted to let everyone know what I thought about the product. First I want to start off by saying that the only hair tools I use are from the Conair brand, with the exception of my Instyler. I have short hair right now and my hair stops at the end of my neck. So curling irons I've used in the past that had a bigger barrel did not give me the tight curls I was looking for. When using the curling iron, the end result would usually be a flipped hairstyle. I would think that something was wrong with my hair, because I could not even make a curl. That was not the problem, the problem was that I wasn't using the right size curling iron for my hair. To be honest when I would buy a curling iron, I didn't pay attention to the size (call me crazy) it was my mistake! So anyway I saw this and I knew I had to have it and the good thing about it is the price. It's ONLY $10.00, ...

I love Eyeliner; eyeliner is my go to look. Anytime I had eyeliner my eyes would look like their dressed up! The only eyeliner I have ever wore up until this point was black; because that was the only color I thought was out (crazy of me right?!) Anyway lately I've seen many girls wear different color eyeliner, mainly on YouTube; so I knew immediately I would have to try it. After a while I forgot all about them, until Christmas of 2012 when I received them. I was so excited because my Mom didn't even know I wanted them; now that I am thinking I didn't even ask!  Now I can match up the colors with eyeshadow. Enough of that here's the box they came in and I have the colors listed below. On the back it just talks about the different styles you can do with the eyeliners. For example: The famous winged look (instructions for it are on the back).                                ...

It's been 3 months since I started blogging and I already have 57 followers and I am so grateful and thankful. In a million years I would have never imagined being a blogger. But sometimes I do not feel like one. I mean I know being a successful and known blogger doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes I get discouraged. I have always been someone who is cautious and worries about what people think, so sometimes I feel no one will like what I post. I also feel like, because I am not a well known blogger no one will take the time and give me a chance. I am just being myself, is there something wrong with that? So I started feeling lost and I didn't know what to do; then I thought "Is there a guide to blogging?". Not only did I have these thoughts, but I was also thinking that there are so many wonderful bloggers (beauty, fashion, and lifestyle), so who would even notice my blog. So is there a book to teach people how to blog or am I just overreacting? Sometim...

Sometimes I cannot stand how my eyebrows look. Going to get them wax on a regular just doesn't fit with my time. Besides after their waxed I start to get bumps on my eyebrows. Am I the only one this happens to? Anyways when I went to Sears not to long ago, I saw this kit and I had to have it, especially since it was the last one they had. As soon as I got home, I immediately opened it, tried it, and I loved it! It didn't cost a lot and I figured why spend $10 or more on eyebrow waxes every time you go, when you can buy the kit at a store. For me I know what I want my eyebrows to look like not anyone else. This complete brow grooming kit includes:   Trim and Shaper Precision Shaper Brow Comb/ Brush Brow Grooming Pencil  Instructions on using all of these products Trim Shaper: Used above and between the brows Precision Shaper: Used underneath the brow for the perfect arch Brow Comb/Brush: Used to keep brows in place Brow Grooming Pencil: Keeps...

Life throws many things at you, and I don’t mean lemons! To me life throws challenges, obstacles and lessons to learn at people. The main reason is to see if you can handle them or not. Life is all about taking risks, but a few years ago I was not trying to hear that. As a sixteen year old high school I guess was preparing me for the “real world” … but that is not true. Teachers would tell us that they are preparing us for the reality of life, maybe for college and needing an education and getting a job but, that is only the basics of life. They never got into details about what exactly we need to be prepared for. For example, they didn’t tell us that we would encounter mean people; they didn’t tell us society would judge us for being ourselves, nor did they tell us that life was hard. I always thought that society painted an image of how we all should act or what we all should look like and I found out that I was right. Teachers prepared us for the reality of school and jobs not...

        Happy New Year's everyone!  Every year when December 31 comes around I get a little sad, it takes me a while to get use to change... especially a new year. But anyway enough of that. I always make a new year's resolution and one or two things happen: I just don't follow them or I start, but never finish. So last year in December I told myself to stop making resolutions if I am not going to go through with them. So for the year 2013 I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE ONE!! I decided that I am just going to be a better me than I was the year before. I do not want to focus on just one thing to change, like the previous years. So I am going to be a better me. I feel like this is a clean start for me. I feel like I am evolving into the young woman I was meant to be. I have always been the mature friend, cautious person, and responsible one. But I wanted to do something more. I have started a blog, created a twitter( which I said I would never do) and met a lo...

I am finally 21 years old! I remember when I was younger and I could not wait for this age. But then my feelings changed as soon as I started counting down the minutes I had left as a 20 year old. I remember as soon as the clock turned 12:00am, December 16... I was like I am legal! But then I started to cry, not because I just turned 21, but because I wanted to be a kid again. I was not ready to be an adult... part of me still wants to be little again watching cartoons and not having to worry about the real world. But then my mom reminded me that just because I am 21, it doesn't change anything... that made me feel better. I am learning to embrace being 21 and my mom like always was right, being 21 does not change anything. I am still the same Ashley the only difference is I am another year older.  My birthday came so quick and I think I was so overwhelmed; maybe it's because I am afraid of growing up, I mean I wasn't prepared for this.. but I guess no one is prepare...
