My 21st Birthday


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 prepared for this. Anyway, I received birthday wishes from family and friends and I also received some birthday cards. Later on that day I went out to eat with some of my family... we went to Chili's and their food is the best. I had a great time with my family as always. One of the things I got besides birthday cards was a gift card for iTunes! I am so obsessed with iTunes! The next day I went shopping looking for makeup brushes and I came across an ULTA store and purchased ecotools earth-friendly beauty: Bamboo 6 piece brush set. I love them! They have them at ULTA and Target.


This includes: Blush Brush, Eye Shading Brush, Eyeliner Brush, Lash and Brow Groomer, Concealer Brush, and a Cosmetic Bag.



I also brought elf's eyelid primer from Target. I had brought two eye shadow bases from sears weeks prior to this and there is a big difference, I like them both but my favorite is the eye shadow base!


I hope you enjoyed reading my birthday post! Have you tried any of these products?

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I h...

BH Cosmetics Eyebrow Tweezer

  Going to get your brows waxed costs money, so with that being said I rather do my own. Although I am not a professional I think I can manage. I do not wax my eyebrows. To be honest I have never waxed or tried to wax my brows. If you're like me in the department of not waxing, you find other ways to style (fix) your brows. For me I have only tried two products; one will be in this post and the other is linked here: Brow kit !     I have learned to love my brows just the way they are. But they do deserve to pampered at the same time. If I have a few eyebrow hairs that do not belong, I want something quick and easy to fix this. That is why I have my bh cosmetics eyebrow tweezer. I have written a few posts on bh cosmetics products, but I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just simply love their products because its still high quality products, but at a cheaper price. This is great because not everyone wants to spend a lot or are maybe on a bu...

Self Love Is So Important!

  Has there ever been a time where you felt unworthy? Unworthy of someone loving and caring for you. Have you ever disliked yourself so much, to the point where you would go into a dark place? I ask these questions not to necessarily get an answer back, but to let you know this happens to a lot of people. Self love is so important and everyone should feel good about themselves. Unfortunately in today's world that isn't the case at all. Society puts a label on what people should and should not look that. People judge one another 24 hours, 7 days a week and it's wrong. I've wanted to write this for a while now, but sometimes it's difficult. You don't want to offend anyone, but you also want to bring awareness to this topic. I'm not an expert on how to love yourself, but I do know what it's like to not have confidence. I know what it feels like to not think you're good enough, even when people tell you that you are.    I use to think I was I wa...
