Knot happening today!

Hi!

Hello!

Gooooooooooood Morning!

How are you doing today?

I was terrible....

See...

My hair is causing issues!!

Hot Mess Express coming through!!!

Choo Choo!

If its not already in a knot it will be...

By lunch time...

Can't stand wearing buns all the time or braids..... IT'S COLD!

Thankfully I have an awesome friend that works at a hair salon suggest to me to use this spray!

Redken One Spray

Now, I already use Redken Shampoo and Conditioners and my hair has felt so good using them.

Plus, I always have had an issue with using a shampoo... Falling in love and a month later.... It turns on me showing me that... I need to wash my hair after I just washed it!!!


Ugh!

So Thankfully my friend came to the rescue and introduced me to these Redken products.

Now this is new product to me.

I love!

It's smells fantastic!

I have seen such a difference it has made!

Now this Spray has 25 benefits that increase manageability, protection and beauty!

Provides and lightweight conditioning.

Softens the touch and texture

Reduces hair dryness, detangles and helps strengthen hair.

Everything I am seeing since I started using the spray!

It can also act as a primer for styling and helps prevent breakage from brushing.

Which I agree with all of those things I just mentioned.... My hair has been super soft!

I'm in love again!

If you are having the same issues, give Redken one spray a chance!

Hope you all have a great day!

All in one weekend

Flash Black Friday

.......Left one job...got engaged...started new job.... 

I'm not Miss Ashley anymore.... sad but it was time to go. I had such an awesome class to leave on so there were only happy goodbyes. The last of my babies went off the Kindergarten and I went on to have a Big Girl job... Now I work in an office.... Something I never thought I would do.... always said ,"Eww I can't just seat at a desk all day." Well I do now and it has been really quite fun. I type out invoices for the work the mechanics have done on tractor trailers and such. Totally different from being a Pre-K teacher.... although the "men" around here do throw tantrums so at the same time.... not so different.  

That night we "celebrated" by going to see Chase Rice in concert! What an awesome time!

So I woke up a little upset but nervous and all I got a call the next day did I want to go get my nails done.... I replied with, "No I really don't have the money," To then be told she didn't ask if I had money but did I want to go. Well then I found out it was just going to be a big girls day. Kris's mom, his sister in law, niece and me!

We got our nails done..... went to lunch....went shopping...well that night Kris and I were going to go see our friend's band play. I told everyone come on out. We got there to see everyone did come out. No way!

It was such an awesome time I found a new drink there that was very yummy and on my 3rd one right after the band played "Gettin Giggy With it" The band stopped and said, " oh hey guys we have an annoucement..... To the driver of a silver Ford F150  and he read the licence plate..... it of course was Kris's truck. Someone hit your truck so we need the owners on stage. Kris said come on and I said, " um no that's your truck." well all of a sudden I am being pushed onto the stage. Tipsy and freaking out a little Kris bent down and asked me to Marry Him!!!!

I was completely speechless and cried the rest of the night!!! haha I really did! August 29th will never be the same! I called my mom and dad....called my Dee-ma.....Facebook status.... Istagram pictures.....all the above.

Such an awesome night! That will never forget! We are planning to get married September 10th of this year. Planning a wedding is very very VERY stressful. 

We were going to do destination wedding..... SUPER EXPENSIVE! 

Now we are looking for venues around home.

I got my dress already with my mom and funny thing is... THE FIRST WEDDING DRESS.... I tried one. That was such a fun day! My mom and I just went to go look and ended up leaving with the dress.

Now I need to get focused and start working out and doing Weight Watchers again.

ummmm about that....

In 2014 I made goals for life and my blog and didn't meet most of them to the fullest I would have liked to, but a lot in life did happen so I can't be too mad at myself.

So let me explain..... 

1. I got really bad migraines and had to drink soda but it's not my first choice anymore and I only drink it when I really need it.

2. I have not cut my hair it has been growing! 

3. yeah... I was doing good and well life happened

4. no one new joined

5. I feel as if I did a little more

6. I did a Diabetes walk for one of my students but not a color 5k

7. I teach a creative movement class at work where i do zumba moves at.

8. I sing in my car everyday..... does that count?

9. I feel as If I have been there a little more for my friends and my family

10. I saw Deirks Bentley and Thomas Rhett in concert!

11. I did cook new recipes!

12. oh yes every month I have gotten a massage!

13. I did take my mom to the zoo for mother's day

14. I didn't do a day trip to the outlets but I did shop on my cruise at Jamaica ,Grand Turk, and Nassau... does that count?

So maybe life did go as I planned but 2014 was so amazing! I am very thankful for everything in my life and for the person I am today!

I'm Sorry but I'm not Sorry

Hello! Good Afternoon! Oh....wait what? Who am I? I'm sure you are all wondering since it's been forever since I made a post.... I am so sorry! 

Anyway, last night was an new adventure with Kris, our first time going Downtown together and we survived. I have to say though being older you know since the last time I went downtown I was 23.... 4 years later is a big difference. I people watched like crazy! I laughed so hard which I know is not very nice but it really kept me entertained and from falling asleep because let's be honest 10pm is bed time so I was quite proud to be coming home at 3am. 

I did dance a lot but my feet started hurting and then my back and I was hot and creepers were all around. 

Speaking of creepers, which this is going back to people watching and laughing at them dancing....Sorry... but I know we get so into the night and having fun and you are in your own little world and feeling confident and having fun but I just sat watching thinking... you know quite a few people had to be thinking they were like Michael Jackson on the dance floor....and really they didn't but every guy had to come up to the girls and start grinding up on them which is one of my biggest pet peeves... I can't stand that... I don't have that issue anymore since I'm with Kris but to me I love to dance so on my nights out that was really all I was there to do was dance...so don't come at me all bumping and grinding on me... Ask me to dance that would score you a brownie point right there...because lets be honest not many of them had rhythm so they would mess your zone up and you would then feel like a girl from the Night at the Roxbury! A lot of times I would stop and say BYE! to them and yes I was mean but I think it was mean to ruin my dance time with you grinding up on me....

Really, the creepers stood by the bar and just watched their prey and then swooped in for the kill with these geeky-not to the beat moves and then were like oh man she's crazy..... right......

So yes I watched and laughed.... loud

Also, beings that I went downtown of course the thing to do is take a bathroom selfie of your self so I did!

Hope you all enjoyed post hopefully it made you laugh a little.....took you down memory lane...or even made you smile because well I love to make people smile!

Thankful Thursday!

Good morning! oh goodness today is going to be a bittersweet day. Today is my current babies last day of Pre-k come Tuesday they go off to Kindergarten. Time sure has flown by! I am in a way ready for the new start of little ones coming in and I think I have met all but 3 of the little ones that will be starting in class Tuesday. Tomorrow we get to clean the classroom and decorate it for the new class....which means putting up Fall decorations.... yuck... only thing about Fall that I really like is that Football is back on strong!

 Good news! I got an email saying my boots have been shipped so they should be here before the wedding and hopefully before country night next Wednesday so I can break them in!

whoot whoot!

Hope you all have a wonderful day and remember to be Thankful for where you are in this moment!

Worried Wednesday

Good Morning!! How is everyone? Hope you all enjoyed your night last night! This is just going to be a rattling post. So enjoy this read!

PLL Fans how did you like the Finale? Holy cow! Still no real answers but there was a death and I don't think Allison did it. Her hair is darker then the blonde that was in the hoodie that did away with Mona! CeeCee? Or do you think this is where they are going to play the Allison has a twin story? I heard that is how it is in the books.... so we shall see! 

Ok so I'm starting to panic.... my cowboy boots still haven't come in... the wedding is Sept 6! In 10 days! Holy cow! My necklace I think I am wearing with the teal lace dress should be in today with my Wetseal Bundle of goodies! 

Tonight is Back to school night where I get to meet all my new kids for the year! I can't wait! Although it saddens me that it has to be tonight so I have to miss country night..... TOTAL BUMMER! 

I have been practicing Fake Id ( you know the dance from Footloose) Kris isn't going to be learning it before the wedding that's for sure haha I haven't really tried unless it's what we do this weekend but it was really hard to teach myself and I have the first 3 8 counts in my head but my feet aren't doing it yet haha

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Off to work I go! :)

Good morning! Happy Friday!

Good morning! Happy Friday! I have had such a wonderful week off of work! I miss my kids but I have been able to relax and enjoy some things I have been missing in my life! I mostly laid out by my parents pool and soaked up the sun! felt so good! I also transformed our bedroom from feeling like we are sleeping in the wilderness to now comfy-happy sleeping. As well as made a new collage frame....which I love!!!

Last night, I made Kris watch Can't Buy Me Love since it was now on Netflix and it is my mom's all time favorite movie!  The movie is from 1987 ( great year) Patrick Dempsey starred in it. If you haven't watched it you totally should! 

It was funny to see the fashion from back then that is coming back in style now a days. Like I am waiting on what they call a "Fishing shirt" which is a long sleeve button up shirt that is monogrammed on the back to wear as a bathing suit cover up and yet... Cindy Mansini had on a button up shirt herself as a cover up...

I hope you all had a wonderful week! Today, is going to be another fun day for me! We are throwing my Deema a tea party birthday party she is going to be 80 years old on Monday! we ware wearing our big hats and dresses and then having a pool day! I am hoping to take lots of pictures because I can't wait to see how beautiful my mom has everything prepared and plus I can't wait to wear my big hat and dress! :) I feel as if I will be looking like I am from the Hamptons today! Let me get my princess wave ready! 

Have an awesome day and check back tomorrow for the pictures of today!

Happy Birthday to me!

Good morning! It's been so nice waking up to birthday messages on facebook, instagram, and text messages on my phone. I took this week off to enjoy time with my parents as well as some me time! I plan on getting a 2 hour massage, a pedicure, and laying out by the pool! sometimes you just need some time to stop relax and take a moment to realize what all you have to be lucky for since the steady routine of life sometimes blocks you from remembering that.

Hope you all enjoy your day!

Thinking on this Thursday....

I have found that the high school behavior we all go through in life never really stops....whether it happens with co-workers, family members, or your friends. There is always somebody that likes to stir the "drama pot" and it's a shame. People are busy with their own lives and I guess once you hit the age of understanding that and not looking at it as people are ignoring you....then will have much more respect for others. Life is hard and it's horrible to think that a "friend" would make it tougher on their "friend" causing those issues. People don't have to talk to each other everyday... it's not them being rude...it's not them ignoring you....it's them living their life that they have to live to pay the bills....

hope this doesn't offend anyone but it was just my thoughts and wanted to know if anyone else feels this way...guess i'm thinking a lot with turning 27 next week....

<3 Ashley 

Hey! Funny thing about today... I went to see my mom, dad, and Sugar at lunch today and Teen Vogue had been sent there for me... I didn't order it or even know it was going to be sent to me...I will be 27  this time next week and you wouldn't know that from looking at me tonight... I have locked myself in my bedroom, been flipping through the magazines, while listening to Jessica Simpson songs.... Sometimes acting like a kid again is what you need!

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!!!

Firework outfit!

Good morning! Alright so what are you wearing to go see the fireworks?  What's the outfit you picked out that will have you walk by with a bang?!

Are you going for a dressy outfit? Like a red dress with blue and white accessories?

Or are you going to take the casual looks? Skirt with a tank or tee with jeans shorts?  

Either way I know you will look fabulous! I will be camping so I am going with the casual look I have my Mark tank ( its from last year but I love it) and I'll be wearing my jean shorts but I think I will pack my red maxi just incase!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

American Woman...

Hello! Happy Wednesday! How is the week going for you? Moving slow or can you not believe it is Wednesday? Everyone is usually spending the day at the pool having a cookout or at the beach or at the lake or bay or wherever in that cute Patriotic bathing suit! Well, Normally I never have one because I feel like I don't want to spend money on a bathing suit that I would wear one time but this year I decided why not and I found a way to make it not be so bad.

I ordered this monogram bikini top from an Etsy store TheSouthernGoldCo

then I ordered the bottoms from Charlotte Russe

 

The koozie I ordered from the Etsy store  O'sew cute designs

I am so excited about the 4th Of July! I can't wait! 

Hope you have a wonderful day and a safe 4th of July!

Bikini Bottoms underneath but the boys' hearts still skip a beat

Good Morning! As I said Yesterday, 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 Cover ups! Cover ups can be as stylish as your bikini for the day! A quick little style to get to to and from the beach, pool, or lake! They each bring cuteness to your day in the sun! 

Links below are some cute coverups you may want to add to your collection. Also don't forget to check out Marshalls and TJ Maxx for some cute desginer ones at your cost!

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day! It's a short week this week! Whoot Whoot!

Don't need no designer tags

 So believe it or not but lately my shopping has been going on at Walmart! I am not ashamed of it either! They are a great buy and probably my favorite pieces in my closet right now!

 I have gotten 4 maxi dresses $15 each there and I have gotten the most compliments on them! Also I have bought $7 sandals there too!

The dresses are beautiful! One is Pink and Black chevron , one is Black and White Chevron, one is tan and black chevron and one is tropical colors!

They also have $12 maxi skirts and they are adorable as well!

I just love maxi skirts and maxi dresses they are so comfortable and make such a cute casual outfit or a dressy outfit!

Just adding different  accessorizes you can change your whole look! A fedora hat, denim vest, belt, scarf, and jewelry!

Words...

Actions speak louder then words, but sometimes words can hurt more then anything else. Words don't have power to hurt, unless the person who said them means a lot to you. Think before you speak! Once those words are said they can be only forgiven but not forgotten. We all do it... we talk about people to others whether it is venting about them to others or just straight talking about them. Be mindful of who can hear. you may be hurting that person who over hears more then the person you are talking about. 

That's my wisdom for this Wednesday! Like Thumper said, "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all."
