Pieces Of Ashley

Happy Halloween! For those that do not celebrate it, I hope you're having a good day! For Halloween, there's traditions you can't get rid of. I know for me I love watching horror movies. So I thought I would some of my favorite movies to watch, during Halloween time.  Twitches One & Two:   Growing up, I loved watching Tia and Tamera Mowry on the 90's hit show Sister Sister. Even after their show I watched whatever movie or show they were in. So it's not a surprise that I would love their Disney movies, Twitches one and two! I like how the concept of them meeting for the first time, is similar to their first episode of Sister Sister. If you don't know the show, well then I would call you crazy! So basically they met in mall when they were teenagers. They had no idea they were twins before that, because they were adopted. In twitches they were a a little older and met at a clothing store. Anyways in the movie not only did they find out they were ...

Here's another throwback for you and I'm really excited to talk about this one! During the girl gang chat on Monday we talked about childhood heroes. Before I continue, if you don't know the girl gang I'll explain. Jemma from dork face blog created this chat and its became a great success! It's on Mondays at 6pm UK time, but for me it's 1pm US easy cost time. There's no secret my mom is my hero, she's the best. But the first question was about fictional heroes from books, television, movies, etc. I didn't have to think twice, I immediately thought about Charmed! This was my favorite show and even though it's not on anymore I still watch it. It comes on TNT in the mornings and it's also on Netflix. I have every season expect 8 on DVD. I'm still searching for it, I guess everyone wanted it. I chose charmed because they proved that women can save the day, kick ass, and look good doing it! It's true, I faithfully watched this show eve...

    It's crazy and sentimental how on this day 4 years I started blogging. Before than I couldn't have even imagined I would writing let alone on the internet using social media. Except Facebook, I've had that a few years before blogging. I guess I'm reflecting on everything I have experienced and the things I've learned along the way. Whether or not blogging is a job or a hobby for you, both are very hard work. Looking back I have come along way from the girl who didn't know how to take pictures or the girl who didn't think her writing was good enough. I'm not exactly where I want to be, but I have made a lot of big steps. I couldn't imagine not blogging, on twitter I would say this a lot. To be honest it's true, I have came across a lot of people who have inspired me. Not to long ago, I talked about not censoring my blog and expanding the kinds of topics I enjoy. I have so many goals and dreams for my blog. No matter how hard I try I ca...

I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon and buy something, just because other people do it. If you do there is nothing wrong with that, so please don't get offended. Now if there is a product that I really want that's a different story. A while ago I brought the Carli Bybel palette from BH Cosmetics. If your thinking, "why is she talking about this now" I get it. The reason I didn't talk about this palette before was because everyone else was and it can be repetitive. So I figured better late than never, right?    Before I talk about this palette, I'm going to start off talking about the person behind this palette. I would also like to state that this is not a sponsored post. I say this because it's ok to admire someone and a product they create without them knowing or compensating you. I began watching Carli Bybel a few years ago and I became a fan. I obviously don't know her, but she seems genuinely nice and true to herself. So when her palet...

  Have you ever looked back on your childhood and compare it to, today's kids? Well I have and I find myself doing this quite often. So I decided to share a throwback, since it is "Throwback Thursday". Don't worry I'm not showing pictures of me when I was younger. I decided to something a little different. I'm sure all of you know about MTV, right? This was one of the hottest networks for me growing up. As I was watching it the other day, I started thinking about what it used to be like.   Clearly a lot has changed as far as television shows and music. Actually I don't even think there's any music shows anymore. Can you see where I'm going with this? TRL (Total Request Live), oh how I loved this show. It ran from 1999 to 2009, if you didn't know. Carson Daly was the host and I tuned in everyday. I feel like kids in middle school and high school today are missing out. That show was a place to discover new music. Although times are chang...

Stress is something we all face on an daily basis and it can be a difficult challenge. Even though the title is tips to manage stress, everyone handles it differently. Stress can cause anxiety and that is not good at all. Anxiety is really not a great feeling to have, I know my chest gets a funny feeling and I start getting hot. Has that ever happened to anybody? I know for me I have a few ways I like to manage stress. It's alright to take a step back and breathe, sometimes you just have to take a break period.   When I'm stressed out I feel like jumping out of my body and running away, if that makes any sense. I won't go into a rant because it would just be me saying how I yell and throw a tantrum like a two year old. Although I am only 24, I feel my patience is wearing thin. For example, the other day I was at the grocery store and it was really crowded. Everyone was bumping into each other and I started getting pissed. It's like "where are you going, the...

  A few years ago I didn't know anything about having a skincare routine. But I realized how important it is to have one, while using Valentia. Valentia's transformative retinol serum fights wrinkles. This serum provides hydration, for visibly smoother, rejuvenated skin. It Diminishes wrinkles, stimulates collagen, improves skin tone, manages breakouts, and conditions skin. Valentia is really the only brand that list their ingredients and actually explain what each ingredient is suppose to do.   Key Ingredients   Retinol (Vitamin A): This clinically proven antioxidant is a triple threat. It works at the cellular level to stop wrinkles from forming, manages acne breakouts, and evens out skin discoloration. Retinol helps reverse the clock, for more youthful looking and acting skin.

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too.   Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

  In my fantasy world I dream of having soft, beautiful, and bouncy curls. But reality has proved me wrong. If you're anything like I am then you have a love/hate relationship with your hair. You are constantly fighting a battle with your hair everyday. Finding the right product for your hair can be a long process. I have always wanted to try the Macadamia Repair Masque, but it's very expensive. Fortunately, Notino is an online store you can buy products you like at an affordable price! So I finally got my hands on this. The Macadamia "Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque" is a revitalizing hair reconstructor for dry, damaged hair.  The good thing about this hair masque is that it's: cruelty free, paraben free,  and alcohol free. I experience dry hair, especially on the ends of my hair. The ends of your hair are the most fragile part, because it's the oldest so they need a lot of attention.     When it comes to taking care of my hair,...
