Pieces Of Ashley

This year will mark four years as a blogger for me. During this time I feel like I haven't shown my full potential. Am I making sense? Here's what I mean; being on the Internet can have its consequences. Everyone is attacked for speaking up or even talking at all. I was afraid to talk about certain situations or topics, because of the criticism I would receive. Those thoughts stop now. This is my blog and I can do whatever I want. I am not someone who wants to try new things out of my comfort zone. But I feel like I shouldn't censor myself, because someone might not like what I say. If you don't that's fine, but this is my opinion and I'm entitled to have one right? Since I started blogging I've grown a lot. I want my blog to be a place where people can relate to.

Losing friends isn't bad   When entering high I didn't think I would loose friends. Let's just say I was naive. But I guess that's because I would make better friends in the long run. I accepted the fact that I lost them. But for awhile I didnt understand why. I was the type of friend that was there. But I guess they didn't feel the same. You know...

Lately I've been doing a lot of research on natural products and the benefits they on our bodies. I have experienced what it's like to use products with harsh chemicals. Our bodies natural oils, whether it's our skin or hair become damaged over time. Valentia is one brand that does not harm the skin. The Valentia Brightening Moisturizer is a lightweight fast absorbing cream that illuminates the skin, while providing all day hydration. It Lightens dark spots while evening your skin tone. Not only that, but it restores radiance in your skin and diminishes fine lines. This paraben free and it's great to use for all skin types.        I really like Valentia products; as I have mentioned before their products/ ingredients are natural. Another great thing about them is the fact that their ingredients are listed on the product and the meaning of the ingredients as well.
