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...

Is there a guide to blogging?

It's been 3 months since I started blogging and I already have 57 followers and I am so grateful and thankful. In a million years I would have never imagined being a blogger. But sometimes I do not feel like one. I mean I know being a successful and known blogger doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes I get discouraged. I have always been someone who is cautious and worries about what people think, so sometimes I feel no one will like what I post. I also feel like, because I am not a well known blogger no one will take the time and give me a chance. I am just being myself, is there something wrong with that? So I started feeling lost and I didn't know what to do; then I thought "Is there a guide to blogging?". Not only did I have these thoughts, but I was also thinking that there are so many wonderful bloggers (beauty, fashion, and lifestyle), so who would even notice my blog. So is there a book to teach people how to blog or am I just overreacting? Sometim...

Color Theory:8 Piece Ultimate Eyeliner Set

I love Eyeliner; eyeliner is my go to look. Anytime I had eyeliner my eyes would look like their dressed up! The only eyeliner I have ever wore up until this point was black; because that was the only color I thought was out (crazy of me right?!) Anyway lately I've seen many girls wear different color eyeliner, mainly on YouTube; so I knew immediately I would have to try it. After a while I forgot all about them, until Christmas of 2012 when I received them. I was so excited because my Mom didn't even know I wanted them; now that I am thinking I didn't even ask! Now I can match up the colors with eyeshadow. Enough of that here's the box they came in and I have the colors listed below. On the back it just talks about the different styles you can do with the eyeliners. For example: The famous winged look (instructions for it are on the back). ...
