Blogmas Day 16: Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I turned 25 years old! That's a quarter of a century, wow. This is one of the most important milestones I will ever face. I can't tell you guys how grateful and blessed I feel. A lot of people don't get this chance, so I'm not taking this for granted at all. I've learned so many things and it has made me a better person and more wiser! This isn't really a post, although it is because of the platform. But this is me talking to all of you. If I have grammar errors, I'm leaving it as is. I may realize it's there or not. The point I'm trying to get across, is that people make mistakes that's life. What's important is that we learn from them and move on. Basically not repeating and making the same mistakes. As I got older I stopped caring, not about grammar mistakes but what someone thinks about me. There are times where I find myself self conscious about certain things, but that's because I'm my own worst critic. As far as other people go, if you can't accept me that's fine. Growing up I realized that not everyone will like me and I am completely cool with that.

So with that being said, what happens now? Is there a guide to being 25? Is there a such thing as a quarter life crisis? Honestly I don't feel too different. I mean I'm the same Ashley as before, just a different age. Although I feel more empowered and strong, if that makes any sense to you. I remember when I was younger, I couldn't wait to be a grown up. If only I could slap myself, don't worry I'm joking. My age is older, but I'm still a kid at heart. Plus people often think I'm younger, so that's a win. I'm sure by now you figured out, that I'm a Sagittarius! I'm a fire sign, so don't piss me off! Again, I'm joking! In my post 10 Things You Don't Know About Me!, I shared some fun facts with you. Well here's another one, I share a birthday with Benjamin Bratt and Theo James! I'm pretty lucky if I say so myself. Again I'm so thankful and I can't believe I'm 25, but I'm excited to see what's in store for me!

Helpful Posts/Sites For Bloggers

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...

My Top 5 Current Beauty Favorites!

I'm not one who has a lot of favorite products, but when I do it's worth sharing. Call me boring, but I'm someone who follows all the trends. Half of the time I don't even buy products that are "most known" or "popular". At the moment I have a handful of products I'm really loving. I'm a picky person when it comes to a lot of things, but these products are great to use. If you are on a budget these products are very affordable and they definitely don't disappoint! Swissco Detangle Brush I love this detangler brush, it works great on my hair. Although I found this at Marshalls you can find online as well. Both prices are $6! That's very affordable in my opinion, compared to brushes that cost double. You can use this on wet and dry hair. I've tried both and it works very good. When it's time to twist or braid my hair I will use this brush. Most importantly I will use this brush before washing my hair and during th...

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...
