Update on Pink Status

So.... I am now $790 away from Pink status.... Seems kinda out of reach... Trying to stay positive though! I was introduced to Periscope last night thanks to one of my friends and if I have time tonight I think I might try it out and do a little Q&A on there! My user name is BlondeOneAsh if anyone wants to follow me and ask any questions!

I am prepared to not get the Pink status and Prepared to keep going after it in the next months because there is no reason not to keep going for it!

I have had so much fun playing with the make up learning all I can about the products and interacting with new people! 

This weekend Kris and I are set up to meet with a photographer and have her take a few pictures of us with the dogs.

I am getting excited little by little. I have some ideas in store to show off us being us and capture us at some meaningful places. 

Oh and here's a funny moment from lest night I will share with you.... Clyde and Audrey were chewing on Cow hove bones last night and well they smell... I was hoping with the lighter color they wouldn't smell but I was proven wrong. Well the smell was bothering Kris and he said, " Ugh why did you get them these Jeopardy Bones? Gosh Can you please not get these Jeopardy Bones again?"

so I am sitting there going what? Jeopardy Bones what is he talking about?  I finally asked, " What are you talking about? What is a Jeopardy Bone? he said those and pointed to the dogs chewing their bones. They smell like do do do do do do do (in the Jeopardy Theme) 

I laughed so hard at that! 

Yep, That's the guy I am going to Marry in September!

Hope that little moment helps you smile today!

It's a crime not to Prime.....

Good morning! Today I am going to share with you some info about PRIMER! Do you use primer when you put your makeup on? Do you even know what Primer is? Do You really need PRIMER? Is it actually worth the investment? YES!

 Let's Chit Chat about Glorious Face & Eye Primer! 

Whether you want to blur wrinkles, mattify, minimize the appearance of pores or even out skin tone, primers do this while creating a velvety base for make-up and helping it to stay put for longer.

My fellow Y-Sisters have a saying of It's a Crime Not To Prime! Never understood why until, I made a video last night showing the difference using Heartbroken Eye Mineral Pigment. It almost made it look like a whole different color from how bold the primer makes the color set!

Pretty Neat!

Hope you all Have an AWESOME day!

I need to RANT!

Sorry in advance if you are looking for a happy post... That will come next...Last night, my heart melted and has caused my bad mood today. PEOPLE! How inconsiderate PEOPLE are.   

Clyde had his training class last night, only it was cut short. We always get there for enough time to walk him around twice so he calms down, gets used to his surroundings, and is ready for class. Well during our laps. A lady desperately wanted her Dodson to see Clyde. Which made me nervous because, Clyde has only been around Audrey his whole life. Audrey is a tough booger and Clyde doesn't do anything to hurt her but they know eachother's limits. I tried to walk away but she kept on.  FINE... well her dog rolled on her back and Clyde put his leg on her and she squealed which scared him. I was like okay lets walk. Enough with the visit. The lady insisted that they keep playing. I kept walking and saying No Thank you! 

Well Kris took him over to the class area and I paid for new bones for him and Audrey. Came over to class and we began. He was doing great. 

Next thing we know, we are being given the next instructions on how to strengthen the STAY command. Staff members go over to a sign hanging from the ceiling and cut it down. BAM! 

Clyde booked it under one of the chairs and laid there shaking.

The trainer got so mad at the Staff... Seriously, not the time to do that you have now scared the student. 

The trainer was great she helped us coach him back from under the chair but now he just looked back and forth to every noise and now the light fixtures bothered him.

The trainer and we agreed to end class and take him home. She told us she would count it as half a class and we could do another half class. She didn't want to push him and he end up not liking classes or her. 

Which she walked us out and she went to say good bye to him and he hid behind me. She was like see this is what I don't want. 

I was a mess last night. I was able to keep it together but once we got home and I started texting my mom I lost it. I cried so much because I feel absolutely terrible for Clyde. He wasn't loved and brought up the right way and here we are trying to help him and do the right things. Trying to help him learn his role in life, Help him be how a dog is suppose to be and Other people have set us back.  

I was so bothered by people's actions last night, and shame on me for carrying it over into today but I just don't understand the lack of respect people have for one another and how heartbreaking it was to see him so scared last night. To know that something happened to him in his previous home to make him that scared. 

I am all about Dogs being good people and its all in the way they were raised is how they act, but if I am telling you that's enough... Back off and leave my dog alone. You may know yours and all but Clyde is Special and I honestly don't know how he is going to react... That's why I am doing classes with him so I can get to know him and know how to help him. He is such a goober and oh so loving at home.

I took him in and I am going to do everything in my power to help make his life better. 

People need to stop assuming! All dogs are different! 

Respect that and go on because I say no for your safety, your dogs safety, and mine.  

I hate to give Clyde that negative thought, but you just never know what could trigger him and I don't want anyone hurt.

Alright... Rant over... Mic Drop... all that good stuff!

Hug your Fur Babies tight!

Lip liner

Hey everyone! I just learned a new make-up trend. Lip Liner as a full lip color!

Who Knew?  I only thought lip liner was just to line your lips not to have full color from the liner.

I have tried the trend and I am in love! I have even mixed it with lip gloss colors as well! 

I now have an urge to buy all of the lip liner colors and experiment!!

So far I have the lip liner Pouty and Perky

Here is just the Pouty Lip Liner.

Here is Pouty with Loveable Lip Gloss

Here is Perky!

Pouty is a great nude color. I have worn Pouty with the lip gloss Loveable. It really toned down the Pink of loveable. 

Today I tried Perky and added Lovesick lip gloss to it. I really like it. Very nice bold hello look at my lips look!

Have you tried this trend? Let me see your combos?

Comment Below and Let me know!

Or Just say Hi!

Younique Blog Party!!!

Blog Idea...

Hey Hey Hey! So I have had this idea and I have actually contacted some bloggers to see if they would like to participate.

My idea is to have a Beauty Blogger have a Younique party on her blog for 10 days. I make a blog post of 10 different products for 10 days straight and what ever hostess rewards come from that party that beauty blogger would get to have and use. Sort of a I help you if you help me deal!

I may do a mystery hostess Younique party for anyone who orders that follows my blog! 

I am trying to come up with new ideas because I am so close to my goal it is unreal! 

I am also going to start making videos as well and of course I will post them on here if I can.

I really am so excited to be able to do this.

I had a girl ask me on twitter what color eye shadow she should wear with her new lipstick. She didn't order anything from me and none of her products were Younique but it felt so cool that she reached out to me and I was able to help out!

If you are Interested in all in having a party yourself on you blog or on Facebook contact me and let's get you those hostess rewards!!!

Also I just wanted to say Thank you all so much who have taken time out of your days to read my blog. The page views I have been getting recently has been so crazy! I have never had more then 10 page views and the past few posts have been close to 100 views!

A day at the beach

Sometimes it's good to just get away and spend the day talking with your friend. That's what my soon to be sister in law and I did Saturday. We applied sunscreen twice had plenty of laughs. It was a great day. 

We went to lunch and that's when pain hit. We got so sun burnt from just being out on the beach for an hour. # LOBSTERSTATUS

I have never gotten that sun burnt before... it hurt to move... it hurt to breathe.... IT HURT! As red as I was you would have thought I had been out there for DAYS!  

I caked myself in Aloe and laid with the ceiling fan on full blast.  I was so hot and in PAIN. The next day wasn't much better I stayed in bed all day. Kris was such a sweet heart and brought me breakfast in bed and also dinner in bed. He took care of the fur babies. It was so nice. I was still in pain. 

Monday, I stayed home from work. I still hurt and was too uncomfortable to be at work. So I read how to soothe Sunburn and I found that brewing Black tea would help and let me tell you it did! 

It did take it away completely but it soothed it longer then the aloe did.

I was able to work yesterday and I am at work today.

I still hurt a little bit but it's no where near as bad as I was.

Life is better when they are around....

Hey everyone! So the Fur babies have been going on adventures together here lately so now they have to walk on their leashes when we go outside. I lost them one day for 40 mins. They ran across the road...down the street... I cried. It was really a mess of a day. 

Audrey was the one who made them go on the adventure. Clyde followed behind. She got made that I told her to not mess with a dead frog in yard anymore so she bolted on in the front yard next thing i know Clyde took off after and poof they were gone. Note to self * Get back to the gym!

Thankfully the power of Cheese came through and they finally came back home!

Clyde has been doing a great job.... when he isn't following Audrey.   

He had his best class last night. He learned the commands Stay and Come. I know should have learned that last week.  He really shocked me with how well he did.  I say that because he doesn't stay focused very long. Treats don't hold his attention as much as they do Audrey's.

That boy loves Audrey though. I caught them cuddling in his crate yesterday!  Sometimes he just whines to just have her around. 

Clyde can be such a baby when it come to a lot of stuff but that baby turns into the Hulk if he hears something that he should protect me from. Last night, as people walked by us he made sure he blocked them from me....but then that could have been so he would get petted since his wiggly butt was in full force.

Next class we will work on Stay and Come more and then walking on the leash for the next 2 classes and Audrey will get to join us for his graduation!

I think he might get a cake for graduating! 

Speaking of cake.... His birthday is coming up! We will have to have a Paw-ty! I can't wait!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

<3 Ashley, Audrey, and Clyde

Here to help!

I would love to post on here more of the products not to sell them to you all but more so to help get ideas to help you out your everyday looks. Give you that something that was missing that is now making you feel fierce. Give you tips and information on why you use the products how you use the products.

I feel very fierce today! Don't know why? BUT I DO! I want you to feel the same way. So if there is any questions or tips you would like to know please please please feel free to contact me. You don't have to buy anything from me. Helping and connecting with others is really all I care to do.  

So today I am going to share the Iron Man and Captain America looks because I did tell you that I would share those so lets kill two birds with one stone.. kinda thing... haha 

So I would never mix eye shadows just always wear the one color over the whole eye lid. Which works some days and others its fun to spice it up.

If you were like me I would try it and look like someone hit me in the eye. Yeah, not the look I was going for.  

For Captain America I used Perplexed from the Palette number 2 as an all over color. Then used Heartbroken mineral pigment with the "hooded" technique which is making a "V" from the middle of your eye as you outline your crease and as an eyeliner  and then blend.

Iron Man look. I used the splurge cream in Tenacious and then Heartbroken in the mineral eye pigment using the same hooded technique. 

I hope y'all have enjoyed this post!

If you all have any questions please contact me and let me answer those for you!

You Wanna?

I am looking for two lovely ladies who would want to be a part of this amazing company. Yes, it would help me be able to achieve more goals but really I want more women to feel better about themselves.

Younique has helped me in so many ways. I am happy with myself completing the challenges. Trying the different products has given me the little boost of confidence. It's really a fantastic feeling. You can join and not sell. You just buy the presenter kit for $99 and you get the 20% off anything you order for yourself! You could sell to just your friends and family and still get 20% off their orders and yours or you can just get out there and sell it! You don't have stock constantly showing up... It is all done online! it is all shipped to them. Now if you would like to do at home parties and vendor events you can! It's your business!

I honestly love coming home and trying different looks! I am no makeup artist and I am sure I don't apply some of the products the right way but I get ready and put make up on for me. 

The compliments that come with it are a bonus! Trust me I end up getting a lot and the guys at work love it when I wear the lip stain.... so I haven't worn it to work since haha

The debit card they give you with your money from your sales has helped with Vet visits for Audrey and Clyde and getting extra products just to try or ones I need replenished. 

I would love to help anyone feel better about themselves not just with make up but as a friend and being part of this company you have so many friends that come with it that help answer questions that cheer you on.

What you do that makes you feel beautiful makes you look beautiful! 

We have the power to do anything!

I would love nothing more then to be Supergirl to anyone and everyone! 

You can visit the webpage and check out all the products.

Get Nerdy With Me

As you all know, Kris and I love going to see the Marvel movies together it's been our thing. He takes me to the movies and spoils me in one way or another.

We normally got to the fancy movie theater and get wine with our Pop Corn chicken. Well Gift cards had us go to the normal movie theater all for FREE!

Last weekend, Kris and I went to see the Newest Marvel movie Civil War! What an Awesome movie! I'm going to be a bit of a nerd in this post so bear with me... but the share some makeup ideas with you.... that's still kinda nerdy... 

So...Get nerdy with it...

Civil War in case you have no idea what I am talking about is Marvel's new movie... You know comic book... Superhero movies with Captain America and Iron man going against eachother. You know, Now I am explaining everything in my Girly Nerd way.... so Nerds don't be getting mad at me... I am one of you in a small sort of way... 

Anyway, The action was off the hook! I loved it. I think the movie is in my Top 3 favorite Marvel movies and Thor wasn't even in it! 

Spider Man..... Umm let me tell you I have hated the Spider Man movies here lately. I could care less for that Actor that played Spider Man  ( Andrew Garfield) . I'm Sorry but yeah he made me not like Spider Man. Yes, Toby Maguire was a very tough act to follow from his role as Spider Man. Which I was introduced to the Spider Man character. In Civil War they introduced a new actor playing the Spider Man role ( Tom Holland) AMAZING! He did an awesome job! I loved it! I think he has made Spider Man a favorite again!  I can't wait for the next Spider Man movie to come out now! 

Now my only issue with the Spider Man remodel is the young Aunt... That doesn't sit well with me... I guess that is a small thing compared to how AWESOME this Spider Man actor is though! I will hush then.... haha 

Totally awesome movie! I can't say that enough. The intro to Black Panther... um wow.. what a bad ass Superhero he is.

Black Widow... still my favorite kicking butt girl in the movies...

The movie was about who's side were you on with the actions and beliefs that took place

I may have been wearing a Captain America shirt to the movie but really I like Iron Man haha I couldn't find an Iron Man shirt before the movie... whomp... 

I was team Iron Man at heart!

Now, I do like my shirt I got from Kohls and I have worn it quite a lot since. 

So you know me... When I have a date or planning to go somewhere my hair.. makeup...and outfit have to be just right...

 Just told you about my shirt and I wore jeans and flip flops... nothing too special

And... Rain stopped me from Waving my hair... but it was fine...

My makeup though.... I was so Proud of myself for even trying this and doing this and and and Yeah!

Before getting ready I asked my Facebook Younique group page which look I should go with... even though I already knew I was going to wear my Captain America Shirt but still.... They didn't know.

I will be posting how to create those looks your self  with the link to order those colors, because maybe you can use those ideas for something other then the movie... I believe I will be using the " Iron Man look" for Game Days of the Washington Redskins especially if I go to a game this year...

Just a Thought....

Thanks for reading today! Thor is still my Favorite! 

Have a Super Day!

<3 Ashley

If you can't wait for the next post Re read this funny Post!

Talk Nerdy To Me!

Still such a funny memory!!!

"Frozen" with this thought

Good morning everyone! I had another post scheduled to happen today but after reading an article this morning my brain started thinking hard.

In no way am I trying to upset anyone or hurt anyone, just wanted to share my thoughts on my blog. 

I read that they are thinking of making a sequel to Frozen showing that Elsa is Gay.

I don't agree with that thought. Now I am, all about you loving your self and who ever you do out in this world. One of my favorite Characters in a show turned to be gay and it was kind of hard to understand at first but how I was feeling other characters felt it to... of you love that character and it was a learning experience for the other characters and the viewers. Now I was also in high school when that subject came into talk/ thought. 

The story of Elsa has already been told. She is a strong Woman that is Independent and showed children that love between sisters is what can help you through life. That was the happy ending.  Just because Frozen had it's moment of the happy ending wasn't a princess finding a prince. It gave it's own story just like a lot of the movies do. 

Each princess show you a different life and a different journey. Elsa had powers and happy ending I just feel adding that to it as well will just make you look over the original story.

So I feel like if they are wanting to make a gay princess then start with a brand new character. Let us go on her journey from start to finish that is focused on that. Just the only thing that bothers me about that is when you watched the Princess when you were young I wanted to be each one of them.

 Snow White made me not like apples.....Cinderella made me want to dance with my prince.....Sleeping Beauty made me want to act like I was asleep all the time in hope that my prince would find me.... So now if I was that young girl would I watch this new Princess and want to be gay just like her.  

Again, I am not saying it's a bad thing to be at all but I feel like in my day that didn't come up until middle school high school ages. So is it going to have that same affect on children that aren't experiencing those kinds of issues/feelings. They look at the princesses as who they want to be when they grow up.   

I understand that times have changed and that rereading all that I am typing it's making me sound really old now.

It's really hard to understand what happened to the world to where we now have to be careful with everything we say or do for it not to offend everyone and it become such an issue. Why is everyone feeling so left out with everything  going on? Am I so stuck in my own little world being my own person that I have missed something? 

My intentions with this post wasn't to hurt or offend just simply a place where I can type out my thoughts. You can get your own blog and do that too!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Training to be a Champion....

Last Night was Clyde's first training class. He already knew the commands we went over last night and it was more for the Trainer to get to know him.

 Right off she said he's such a good boy he just doesn't have that much self confidence. He doesn't know him role in your house and then when he is scared not to tell him "it's ok" because that is telling him that there is something to be scared of... Which worked out... there were Balloons by the training area and he freaked at first but once we said, " You're good." He didn't pay attention to them anymore! We may try this with the ceiling fan!

He really surprised me with being so welcoming to everyone. Not saying I was waiting for him to attack or anything but he has been so skittish to so much that in a way I kinda saw a happy dog.  

The trainer said that she can tell Kris is his favorite. Which was so funny because when Clyde is nervous he will go straight to Kris and keep rubbing up against him. He doesn't want Kris to go far. 

Not only did Clyde make me proud but Kris really did too... Dogs are not his thing. We have 2 now though. He has totally become such an awesome helper with them and seeing him asking questions and doing the training last night with Clyde, was really such an awesome thing to see.  Both my boys have come a long way. 

I can't wait to see the results at the end of this class. Hope you all stay along for this little adventure!

Have a wonderful day!
