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!

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...

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...

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...
