Not So Skinny Jeans?

      Recently I have discovered that skinny jeans are not so skinny anymore. For the longest time I always wore them. I bought them in all sorts of designs and colors. I bought checkered ones, multicolored ones, half black half white, half purple half black ones, plain colored ones. I've had them all! I wore them for a few years and bought them all the time. I was all over them, Then one day I awoke and just lost it. I lost my love for them and needless to say now my little brother has quite the pants collection going on. 

     I believe it hit me that I hated them when I went to Good Will one day and tried on a pair of

flared jeans. Then I fell in love. Oh glorious love. They are SO much more comfortable than skinny jeans and just amazing. One of the best things about them is that I can slip my pants over my shoes! Normally when I went somewhere to try on pants I had to take off my shoes because the skinny jeans and now I don't! Which I love considering I don't like standing on dirty surfaces on my socks! Plus Good Will has quite the variety of the flared jeans and other varieties at great prices! And for those of you who can rock the skinny pant they also have a lot of those! So hurry up and get to Good Will and try all those fantastic pants! Go for a new style Honey! Keep strutting into this Gal's blog for more information on those posh pants!

Wind, Wind, Everywhere! Get out of my Hair!

      Hey Honey's! Today I have been battling the awful, the horrid, the hair attacking wind! This is

absurd and well frankly, I do not like it. I do not like it all. Well Wind, I do not like you here, I do not like you there, I do not like you anywhere! Let alone in my hair! So is there such a thing as wonderful wind. Nope! When it is a light breeze yes, especially when it is nice and cloudy. But not this dust storm. Not this flying dust. So Honey's if you're dealing with fierce winds today (that are fiercer than you) I suggest you put your hair up or hold it tight!

      One good way to get  the wind out of hair a little bit is to either locate inside of your house all day and car or shopping (need an excuse), but the best thing is if you're out and about to put your hair up Honey! I know you have a hair scrunchie somewhere! So braid it, ponytail it, bun it, whatever you want! Just get it up! Or you are going to be dealing with some messy tangled hair (which I am quite the nay-sayer of)! Well now the wind over here is WILDLY howling and I'm going to assume that I can lose connection with ya'll anytime now! So I am have and stay tuned. Here are some wise words from Ashley! Ashley says use this as an excuse and go buy some shoes!

Thrifty Threads!

     Hey Honey! Do you crave thrift threads? Fashionable clothes? Name brands? I bet you're tired of and don't enjoy spending tons of money on a shirt or pants (Unless you love it!)! Well there are tons of places in your area that you can buy such clothing at! Now this is not for everyone even though it should be! Now await the drum roll (insert drum roll) aaaaand the answer is THRIFT SHOPS! There are tons of things that can be bought at thrift shops from clothing to toys to oh my favorite animal shaped candles!
     
      There are many Thrift shops everywhere! There is the Good Will (my favorite) good for everything, Twice As Nice (Nice designer clothing at a quarter of the price), thrift shops, savors etc! They go on and on! The great thing is some of the stuff donated or sold to these shops is in almost brand new condition or new! Which is my favorite part. Most people who haven't been to a shop imagine it as a store with gross stuff. Well that is definitely not the case Honey!

       My favorite place to buy my lovely pants is the Good Will. Oh my goodness do they have some fantabulous pants! Sometimes they even have absolutely precious dresses!  One of the best things that I have found at the Good Will was a fantastic pair of sandals and boots. Oh my goodness they have quite the selection. They also have great knick-knacts! So in the end Honey! If you're looking for great clothes and FANTABULOUS prices go prance into your local thrift store and shop shop shop it up! So keep trotting into this gal's blog for more thrifty tips!

Superb Skin?

     Do you crave Superb Skin? Do you have a love of lotion because I sure do Honey! Oh boy do I love lotion. I am quite the lover of it. Normally my skin isn't too dry but just because Spring decided to spring upon me now my skin is all up in ash! Literally, I hate it! So now I have resorting to putting lovely lotion on my skin twice a day! I do not wear perfume, I don't like it. So I wear scented lotion (preferably fruit scents Mmmmmm) Oh goodness! As I am typing this my skin starting to itch! Nooo!


      I have tried many different types of lotions. From dollar store lotion to fancy shmancy lotion! I loved it all but my FAVORITE of all time would be (Drummmm Rolllll pleasee) BATH AND BODY WORKS! My favorite time of year because of this would be when they decide to smile down upon on me and hold that oh so craved 75% off sale! I am all over that instantaneously! There is a Bath ad Body Works in the mall but I am more of a lover of the online version! They have so much more, sadly my store is more of a flower/perfume scented store, where as I am a lover of the fruit scents! They are fantabulous! I love it all! 
      
      I also love their aromatherpay department as well! Mostly online too! They tend to have it cheaper online which I love (I'm quite the penny pincher). My favorite currently is the stress relief collection the Eucalyptus one! MMMM! Can you believe that they also have shampoo and conditioner? Crazy, but it's fantabulous. But it's also expensive (Thus the love of sales)! Did I mention that they also have fantastic candles? They do! So if you haven't experienced the Fantabulousness of Bath and Body Works Honey I suggest you do! And if you have Sign up online for e-mails on all the sales and check the website often! They tend to put stuff for 50% off often! Take advantage and smell great while doing it! So stay tuned for an essence of Ashley!

Accessible Accessories

      Now I know that I am not the only girl who prefers mini accessories over large ones. Now by accessories I mean, hairbrushes, mirrors, nail file, nail polish, nail clippers, ya'll know what I mean. I suppose they can be called grooming items, I prefer accessories! Sounds sassier! I like to keep knifty items such as these with me at most times of the day (I have long hair and I always brush it, brush, brush, brush!). But how can you keep all these things with you at all times, they take up a lot of space! NOT! 

      Now I love my big hairbrush, but it can't live in my backpack or my truck console! So I buy mini ones! They are so adorable! I keep one in my truck, one in my bag, one in my backpack and one in my locker! I love it because Target and Walmart always have them for only a dollar or two! It fantastic, and they also come in cute colors! Now I know you already know about compact mirrors, so I don't need to go into how precious they are!

       I am a crafty prepared girl! So I have a few multi-tool kits just about everywhere including my purse and truck (I even have a mini hammer that turns into pliers!) It's quite knifty, I love it! So anyway, I recently was given an adorable multi-tool that also has a nail file on it and nail clippers and is PINK! It is so precious, One day I was in the bank and now that my nails are long I'm all over them and I chipped one! Oh no! So I went out to my truck and pulled out my metal nail file out of the multi-tool and BAM! No chipped nail. Now it's lovely again! Ironically these are the pictures of what I have! Aren't they just precious? Lastly I love this mini bottles of nail polish! They are great for touch ups anywhere on your nails! I move a lot so my nails hit and scratch things they do require touch ups! 

So there are the most Accessible Accessories from the Athrill Ashley!
      

Neat Nails!

     Neat Nails Honey! I recently discovered how fantabulous Crackle Nail Polish is! Every week I paint my nails differently because I don't want to do it on a daily base and plus I use the clear polish on top so it stays on longer! Around Christmas time I was bought a huge set of that fancy Crackle nail polish. I have to admit, It took me a few tries to figure out how to make it look nice and not have to use a safety pin to my own cracks in! (Oh my goodness, The Television is blaring, I can't concentrate!) Anyway I fell in love with it when I used it last night! It looks fantastic! I prefer contrasting colors, Like Black and Pink, Blue and Pink, Green and light blue. I love it! It's so just amazing! If you haven't tried using it yet, I highly suggest you try it because it looks fantastic! Sorry this post isn't very long! I am absolutely exhausted! So stay tuned for more cute comments from Ashley! The Gal that is filled to the brim with ideas!

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!

     Everyone get's their hair cut! There are a MILLION things that people can have done to their hair! Today I went to the hair saloon and got my hair trimmed because I'm not brave enough to do something big with it! But that doesn't mean you can't! Now, I don't know how to do hair at all! My friend at school always asks me to play with her hair, HONEY I CAN'T! I can brush it, I can kinda sorta half braid it, but I can't do anything like what you see models have. I can barely do a pony tail for catering events Honey! (Now off topic, I just broke one of my lovely long nails! I'm such a sad Popsicle :c) Hair, Hair, Hair. Too much hair. Too many strands. Too many products. Too many ideas. 
     

     One of the only hair experiences I have is the fact that I have had my hair at certain points in time be Red, Blue, Purple, and bleached Blonde. I am a lover of the streaked hair, but Honey, don't bleach your hair! I have very dark brown hair and believe me bleach does not make it blonde the first time. If you want a painful time brushing your hair bleach it! I find it even more difficult to put streaks in my hair because of the color of my hair it MURDERS the color of the streaks. So I just no longer do much with my hair except for the occasional Pony Tail! I can't even do a bun Honey. Poor poor Ashley!


                 
                                                         All I can say is get a friend to do your hair or learn how to do it

because SALOON'S are OUTRAGEOUS!! I don't want to pay $20 for something that will be gone tomorrow, That will be hard to wash out of my hair, to deal with it! I am a nay sayer of the hair spray! I hate it so much! It makes my hair feel all crunchy which is not what I want me hair to feel like. I wish I could give some tips on cool things to do with your hair, but I can't. That makes me a very sad lady. Very sad. But Honey, Here you go! How I am with hair is, Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow! Keep popping in to the land of Ashley! The girl with knowledge of very much except for Fashion!
