Out with the Old & In with the New!

I recently wrote on social media that I felt lost in my blog. I also wrote about a big change happening to my blog. So let me explain; this year will mark my 4th year in blogging, which is pretty awesome! But to be honest I haven't really been completely happy with my blog. I have grown as a writer so my posts aren't the problem. I kept changing the design of my blog but, I still wasn't completely satisfied. Then it hit me recently, I wasn't happy with my blog url or the name. They don't match each other, it's obvious. When I first started out I had no idea what I was doing. Jerseygirl1216 was my screen name for YouTube. So I decided to make it my url. The name makes sense because it's about me but, as a url it's not working anymore. I have outgrown it. On my blog I talk about change and how I'm afraid of it, well this is an example. But I feel it's for the best although, I'm a little emotional.

I will also be changing my Facebook name and url to match my blog! So the only time you'll see the name jersey girl is on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest! I refuse to change that! My new blog name will be "Pieces of Ashley" and it's refreshing for me. I have also decided to get my blog organized. I have a journal to write all of my post ideas and I have a planner. I realized I do need a little assistance! I hope you guys stay on this journey with me. I'm so excited for this new chapter of mine. I have become more confident, because of blogging and I want it to show. I want you all to feel like my blog is a place to hang with me and talk. So I will adding 2 new series on my blog, "Throwback Thursday and Late Night Chat"! Don't worry if you know and you read my blog a will have a redirect link for you to click on. For the next week or two I will refer you to my new blog. I'm still new to this. As a disclaimer "I am not deleting my blog I've worked to hard on it, I'm just changing it name/ url". So if you're a reader of mine, don't be confused if you see a different name, it's still me!

If you have any questions feel free to ask! I would also appreciate it, if you shared this post so everyone will know. Thank you for reading!

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

  At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means.  During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no one was r

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 ha
