Blood Red Nails..... on your finger tips

Good Morning! Happy Manicure Monday! it's going to be a great night for me to get my nails ready for the 4th of July! Can you believe it's that time already! AHHH! I honestly can't decide how I want to paint my nails I have the colors but I just can't make up my mind.....

Don't forget Accessories with your bikinis are a must this summer! Hats are a must! Coverups are a must! Koozies are a must! I am obessed with my koozies ! I have 3 now and I use the one that matches best each day I am out by the lake or pool!  As well have one one it's way!

I will post my nails on here for you once I have painted them and made that final decision! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hats off it's Sunday!

Good morning! The Wifi is working so I am going to post and write up and many as I can so you will have some reading material while you are lounging by the pool this week!  Accessories with your bikinis are a must this summer! Hats are a must! Coverups are a must! Koozies are a must! Beach towels are a must! This post is dedicated to the hats! Whether its a baseball cap, floppy hat, or a straw fedora hat! They each bring cuteness to your day in the sun! 

 Fedora:

 

Floppy:

 

Baseball Caps: 

Of course the Baseball cap I have is a monogrammed one! Which you can purchase yours at Design Diva That's where I purchased mine from and I love it!


Enjoy your day! Remember apply that sunscreen!

Happy First day of Summer!

It is finally Summer! YAY! It's my favorite season! So while I was in Nags Head I realized I missed the memo of each day you wear a different style bathing suit. For instance, one day was your black bathing suit, next was your sequin bathing suit and then the next was the bathing suit that matched your baseball cap. My Smurfette Bathing suit didn't fit in with any of those. 

For my next trip... I think I am prepared! I bought this cute Sequin top and black bottoms from Victorias Secret! (the links below is the exact top and the bottoms are that style just in black)

Happy Summer! Be Safe Have fun and remember the Sunscreen!

Leave some summer lovin below!

I just wanna stop..... and Thank you Baby!

Good Morning! Happy Friday! Hope everyone has had such an awesome week! It has been a hot one here and I love it! 

On Facebook an article was being shared on my news feed 36 Thank you messages for your everyday Prince Charming so I clicked on it and WOW! Every one of those applies to Kris and I so well! I loved it! I tagged him in it and we laid in bed together reading them. well he has a photographic memory one of his many super powers so now he is saying numbers from the article that apply to the current situations! 

My 3 favorites from the article were:

3.Thank you for all of the dorky pictures I make you take with me, and then for not complaining when I post them all over social media for every one of your friends to most likely see.

26.Thank you for sitting through countless chick flicks and girl dramas. ( of course you know that is Pretty Little Liars)

34.Thank you for that look in your eyes that reminds me that I am yours. It reminds me of my connection with you, and that through it all, you really and truly see me.

It really was an awesome article you should totally read it! It kind of made me want to write my own "Thank yous" and post them around the house at random times. It is always nice to do little things for one another. 

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Tell your loved ones Thank You! 

Thank you for reading!

Gotta give myself a little pat on the back!

Good morning! Happy Thursday! I had an eventful night last night! Have you seen the cold water challenges that are going on on Facebook? Where you get COLD water poured on you and if you don't within the 24 hours your were nominated you have to donate $100 to a charity of your choice? Well thanks to my friend Brittany, I had to do mine last night! I am very proud and yet think I'm crazy! It was so cold! My boyfriend Kris poured the water on me and my friend Lindsay filmed it for me. Tonight, since I nominated my friend, Stephanie, she is coming over to do hers and I am going to fix her tacos because I feel bad.

The water challenge was fun! If you have had to do it leave a comment below telling me about it! 

Hope you have a wonderful day! 

Thanks for reading!

I'm so obsessed!

Monogram.... it's just 3 little letters on something and yet it is so stinking cute and I gotta have it all! So for Summer if you need cute gifts for a friend you should totally get them a koozie that is monogrammed!

The drink koozies came from O' Sew Cute

My friend and I also have a red chevron with Royal Blue letters for July 4th that we will picture as soon as they come in!

Father's day!

Happy Father's day to all the dads out there especially mine! He is such a wonderful man and I am blessed to be his daughter. He has been the coolest guy I have ever known and always knows how to make me laugh. My favorite times with him was when I was little and he would pick me up from preschool and we would go to "Gin Jail" which was what I called Western Sizzlin I don't know where I got that name from but it kinda stuck. Also he was so cool that he always called my play kitchen forks Dinglehoppers ( from Little Mermaid) and I would scratch his back and comb his hair with them.  He worked hard to pay for all my dancing I did growing up. He is a die hard Redskin fan and I have become one over the years so I can understand his "language" more. He is such a great leader with everything he does I have never heard any of his co workers say anything bad about him. He is a great role model and I hope to become have the person he is today for my kids that I may have in the future.


Today was a nice laid back pool day with him and he excitedly showed us all of his redskin gifts we have given him over the years had a place in his Redskin room.... told you he was die hard fan!

Hope you all had a wonderful day with your dads! Have a great week!

Bikini Ready?

Hello Happy Friday!! It has felt like Christmas around the house because I have been buying bathing suits for the summer and the cruise and they have been showing up! Look out for posts with pictures on them very soon! I have bought bathing suits from Victoria Secret, Delias, and Charlotte Russe. 

Here are some links to some cute bathing suits!

 

Also  I wanted to tell you about this new product I tried and I love! That will help you look bikini ready!

Nair shower power with Argan Oil

Normally after I save and then go lay out I will start to get those red bumps and it's so uncomfortable and from using this Nair I haven't had any issues and it washes off clean in the shower no pain at all! I was so excited! It also lasted about 2 weeks before I had to do it again! 

Hope yall have a fantastic Friday!

Tonight!

Good morning! Who is excited about tonight? Pretty Little Liars is back on tonight at 8pm on ABC Family! Do you think we will find anything out or will we end up with more questions? 

I can't wait! I think I might miss it tonight though....I know.... What?....How can this be? 

Well my Boyfriend's niece is graduating from Preschool and I wouldn't miss that! I love that girl like she is my own! She always knows when to give those special hugs and to be that silly little one to make you smile! She is crazy at times but she is loved by so many for just being herself! I remember the first day I met her, I haven't been in her life but for only 3 years but she walked into my work and smiled at me and I waved to her and she froze, from then on she found out my name and everyday she would walk in and say, Miss Ashley..... and I would say hello and she froze. Then once I became Kris's girlfriend she gave me so much love I became her Ashley! Tonight she will be up on stage singing songs and showing us that she is a big girl now! 

Being a Pre-k teacher I have seen some gifts given to the graduates, my favorite is the little ones given the book, " Oh The Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss and the family members write in the book each graduation kind of like their yearbook. I cry every time I read this book to my classes this time of year. It's perfect! I want to read it to Savannah and start this tradition with her and so forth with the kids I will hopefully have in the future. 

Congratulations! 

Today Is your day.

You're off to Great places!

You're off and away!

And will you succeed?

Yes! You Will. indeed!

(98 and 1/4 percent guaranteed) 

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So I'll need to grab a box a tissues for tonight! Everyone enjoy their day and Pretty Little Liars! 

Read "Oh The Places You'll Go!" 

or just hug your loved ones because remember you are lucky to have them!

Best Friends Day!

Good Morning! Did you know yesterday was Best Friends day? Well with my bad week I had it was nice to have spent the weekend with the friends that truly care about me. I cried to them and each one said you have us and said how strong I am and it will get better because Karma has a funny way of coming back on people that did you wrong. Lindsay's mom gave me more insight to Lindsay and let me know that we both are the same about friendship that you could roll a car over us and we are still your friend, that we have a hard time understanding why all of a sudden the people you love and care about most somehow don't. That's totally how I felt. I don't understand how ones sleep at night. 

Anyway, back to how awesome my weekend was...Saturday, was a surprise party for Lindsay and her boyfriend did an awesome job pulling it off. She had no idea! Of course, she text me asking what I was doing and well I was at her party waiting for her so I looked at Kris and I was like, "OMG! What do I say?" he told me to say sitting and watching TV. Well I said just sitting with Kris then she asked my plans for the night.... oh none yet why? well because I want to see you and hang out... oh ok well text me when you get home then! Ugh! I was so nervous! It was all pulled off and I couldn't have been more happy for her!

Sunday, was a day on the lake with the girls laying out and the boys playing with their Jet skis! Although, I did get to end the day with a long jet ski ride with Kris.We even jumped waves! It was awesome!  

So in the long run of this weekend, I really found out who was worth "melting" for and I couldn't be more happy to have the friends I have!

Hope you all enjoy your week! Have a great Monday!

PLL Playlist

Hello! Hope everyone is enjoying their day! Today marks 4 more days until Pretty Little Liars is back on air for Season 5! Do you think we will get to find out who A is? Let's hope Ezra is alright! Anyway, in the summer on the weekends I mostly spend my days laying out by the lake or the pool and if i'm really lucky I get to be laying out on the beach! So to assume the position of laying out.... I need my drink in a koozie and my Summer playlist to be playing! I know you are probably going wait you went from Pretty Little Liars to laying in the sun... Well I will be adding this artist new to me that is going to have a song featured on the show. Her name is ZZ Ward and I absolutely love her songs. They have a blues kinda feel and she reminds me of Adele from the feel of the music and having a unique voice. 

My favorite songs from ZZ Ward would be:

Put The Gun Down 

Charlie Aint Home

Last Love Song

Til The Casket Drops

Then also you know Lucy Hale just released her Album Road Between 

I have it but haven't listened to it all yet I pre ordered it and I haven't gone back and gotten the rest of the songs.So far though my favorite song is Goodbye Gone

Hope you all enjoy your Summer days Soaking up the sun with the songs from these awesome artists!

Comment below if you have any artists I should check out and add to my playlist!

Does it really pay to be good?

That is a question I keep asking myself over and over. I like being a good person and I sleep just fine at night but with some events that have taken place recently it has really made me wonder. I work 3 jobs and still struggle here and there and don't make a big deal of it because I am doing the best I can and well I make sure I don't spend all of my money shopping. Sometimes life throws a little curve and I end up not saving as much from pay check to paycheck because of it. I see others spend all their money and yet have others giving them money," oh yeah sure I'll pay you back." and yet they never do and still keep getting money. How about ones that do the same rude actions over and over and still get whatever they want. When does it stop? I don't understand but I am happy to be the good person I am it just saddens me that others are so rude and hurtful and get away with everything because I know if I was every to do the same actions I would get in trouble right away.

Hope you all have a wonderful day

JUNE!

It's hard to believe that today is June 2nd! I feel like it was just yesterday I was talking about outfits for Valentine's day! It is totally fine though I love this time of year! Yesterday, Kris and I rode the jet ski and it was so nice! I can't wait for every weekend to be doing that laying in the sun and riding the jet ski! 

June is an exciting month! Pretty Little Liars will be back on June 10th, Lindsay, Natalie, my sister, and Kris have their birthdays, and I have the Pre-k graduation! 

Hope everyone has a fantastic JUNE! Comment below any special events you have going on! I would love to hear all about them!
