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...

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

  At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means.  During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no ...
