Active wear monthly subscription box

Good morning!

It seems like there's a monthly subscription box for everything these days...

Last month, I came across an advertisement for Ellie...showing a workout outfit for $49.95 and it came with exercise equipment.....

I said, "wow that's a great deal"...

"Gosh, you can't even buy pants for that"....

" Let me check the reviews"

Well, I did and I saw how many people were pleased with the subscription that well I went ahead and joined.

Cause lets be honest having a good outfit and make up makes you have confidence to go anywhere...

Any extra boost to get me to the gym... I'll take it!

I found out that the July box was totally made for me!!

 My favorite color coral was part of the collection!!

Now I'm going to show you what I got......

This sparkly box  was waiting for me the other day on the porch!!!

Opened it up and it was like Christmas for the gym lover!!!

Came with an Ab Wheel

Also a chilling towel... I can't wait to try that out!

then in this sparkly bag was what i was most excited for.....

Sports bra in a charcoal grey with black outlining.... 

Hair ties that matched the outfit

A tank top that is not form fitting... Thank goodness there is room to breathe!!!

Then a pair of leggings!

I am very pleased with this outfit! I am going to wear it to the gym tonight to test it out!

They were really good with the sizing and you can change from Box to box... they ask each time and tell you how the sizes run. 

Just think I got a 3 piece matching outfit for $49.95!!!

I mean for real what an awesome deal that is...

Now this month you get options with the August collection Box....

You can get the outfit for $39.95

or you can get the outfit and equipment for $49.95

If you are interested in getting your own box visit the website here

Let me know that you think!

I am totally going to get the August Box... That outfit is super cute too!

Now to find new shoes to match...... uh oh... this might be bad... 

Maybe I should go to the gym first....

Have An Awesome Day!!!

Did you know Younique is more than just makeup?

I read a quote the other day and it still has me thinking....

Also, it made me think of Younique.

" One of the most courageous decisions you'll ever make is to finally let go of what is hurting your heart and soul." - Brigitte Nicole

Many of you might not know but, Younique is much more than makeup and didn't start as a makeup business...

The Younique Foundation was funded by one of the CEOs of Younique Products, and it came before the makeup!

 The makeup was created to fund the foundation! 

Every purchase you make with a Younique presenter you can choose to round up to the nearest dollar, all of those proceeds go straight to the Younique Foundation. Or you can get on their website and donate there! 

Proceeds go to many things for the foundation, but one of the most important is the Haven Retreat. 

It's a 3 day stay in Utah where women who were sexually abused learn how to #ReclaimHope.

This haven is entirely funded by the Younique Foundation. It houses 90 women per month that are survivors of childhood sexual abuse - all for FREE. These week-long retreats include meals, music therapy, group sessions, nature walks and more... all to set them on a path of healing. 

How awesome is that?!?

1 in 4 Women are sexually abused as children. That statistic is gut wrenching. 

If you are an adult survivor of sexual abuse, it is free to apply online for the opportunity to attend this retreat! Please visit the website to learn how Younique is defending innocence and reclaiming hope.

Younique helps women be courageous and Let go!

Younique helps women heal

Younique Empowers women

I am so proud to be a part of Younique and know that I am helping out by spreading the word about this company and helping get those proceeds made. 

Please if you have any questions on this amazing foundation visit their website

YouniqueFoundation.org or Facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/youniquefoundation/ and share with others

Remember to round-up to the nearest dollar at check out. You are helping real women heal and cope!

So this silly little make up business is much much more....

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions

Remember you are beautiful and have an awesome day!

<3 Ashley

Tissues please....

Hey!

Hello!

Good Morning!

 I have recently started binge watching This Is Us and actually I am now all caught up. The show is absolutely amazing.

Now I wanted to watch the show because of Milo Ventimiglia since he was one of my favorite actors/ characters on Gilmore Girls. 

Also Mandy Moore, one of my favorite singers to blare in my car when I started to drive. Plus she is the voice to one of my favorite Disney princesses! Also, the actress of my FAVORITE BOOK, A Walk To Remember, when it became a movie which was terrible compared to the book but she did an awesome job as the character. 

I have to say I have so much respect for both of them as an Actor and Actress with their performances on the show and really all of the actors and actresses. 

I either tear up or really cry each episode from how good of a show it really is.

 I can't say that it hits home but I just find myself feeling for the characters in the show.

The show goes through the everyday struggles we as real people have or know someone that has. Plus I am happy to see that the couple didn't have kids until the dad was 36.

Something I am hearing now everyday, " hurry up have kids... ya'll aren't getting any younger." No we aren't but I also don't like my husband much these days he's been quite annoying because his time and attention has been on a truck and well I am jealous of a truck...

The thought process of about to turn 30 has been one I am struggling with this month. Seeing that they are in their 30's and not having it together makes me feel some hope and relief. I know it's a show and they aren't real people but it's a nice calming effect.

I love how each has their own story and we get to find out why they have that struggle or where that struggle came from.

I can't say that I have a favorite character because each plays such a strong role.

Anyway, I don't think I have cried hard to a TV show since Denny died on Grey's Anatomy... When I refused to watch another episode because it made me cried so hard.

This week's episode of This Is Us, titled Memphis, made me cry that ugly, can't breathe cry.

It was such a beautifully told story and those actors deserve every award for their performance in that episode.

The story was so powerful that I saw a duck today and started crying!

Now this part might be a bit of a spoiler.... I was trying not to spoil it but I can't not mention this one part!

My favorite part or the most touching part to me was William talking about how he had already told the girls good bye with them looking up at him and not down. The whole looking up and not down just something like that and a different look or meaning towards something we may do everyday or at that one moment just made it change and look different to me now.

I never thought of that motion like that and its what I love about this show, It is so eye opening!

I think that was my favorite episode thus far.

What was your favorite part?

Was that your favorite episode?

I hope I didn't spoil the episode for you.... if you hadn't watched it yet.

Remember if it is a nice day... roll down your windows and turn your music up loud and enjoy your ride!

Get Your Motor Running!

Hey!

Hello!

Happy New Year!!!

Hope you all Had an AMAZING time bringing in the new year!

Motivation is running wild in me!

Tomorrow is the big day!

Guess What?

Kris and I watched UFC fights!

Ronda Rousey and Amanda Nunes

I asked if we could. I know strange... I have never watched one before and I am glad we did.

Not so much for that particular fight cause well let's be honest... I blinked and it was over....

Watching each fighters dedication to getting ready for the fights made me hype to start working out!


I'm ready to get to my training and have decided I am going to be a badass this year... 

I want people to confuse me with Harley Quinn....

What motivation watching those fights was!

I saw...

Marriage

Beach Body

Health

All good things to focus on this year I think!

I have been running around all day getting things together to help me succeed.


Classes:

Zumba

Kick Boxing

Yoga

Line Dancing

Barre

Gym :

Elliptical

Stationary Bike

At Home Work Out:

Resistance Bands

Zumba Toning DVD Sets


Now for that Beach Body... I came across these charts and I thought what a great thing to share!

30 day Challenges.... which will be great to start doing this month because even starting on the 2nd you still get 30 days to challenge yourself!

Push Up Challenge

Crunch Challenge

Squat Challenge

Burpee Challenge 

Also need a good Work Out Playlist....

I have a song that has recently become one of my favorites and has helped me get up and move. I either want to walk the runway to it or work out hard.....

Work B**ch by Brittany Spears

You want a hot body... you better work B**ch...

I actually used that song for the bouquet toss at my wedding.

Those girls worked!



Also...... Me Too from Meghan Trainor!

If I was you... I'd want to be me too!

Those songs just give me confidence!

Oh Girl!


GET IT!

We are going to get That Beach Body this year!!!

Now what are some songs that you have on your Work out playlist?

Are you ready?

Do you have your goals ready?

We can reach these goals together!

Don't forget....

Just know that it's not going to happen over night and this is a goal for the year!

365 days...

Baby steps...

It's progress in the right direction...

Let's do this!

<3 Ashley

New year is upon us

Hi!

Hello!

How are you?!!

Can you believe we are about to start a new year?!

Where did this one go?

Do you make resolutions? I kinda do but it's more like Goals to accomplish during the year!

My Goals For 2017!!!

Here We Go:

1. Lose 20 pounds
2. Tone up
3. Cook new things
4. Try a Kick Boxing class
5. Post 20 posts in a month, every month on here.
6. Go on another cruise
7. Level up in Younique
8. Do more adventures with my Mom
9. Go to the shoot range and take a class
10. Team up with another Blogger.

Now, of course I am going to say Lose weight and be fit..... I want to continue this the whole year... I'm going to be turning 30! I want to look fantastic! 30 is just a number! I want to feel that way when the time comes!

I'd like to get to where I get 10,000 steps on my Fitbit at least once a week!!! 

Now I do want to start cooking different things... I know sounds like it kinda defeats the purpose but for most of the days and night I hope to be sticking with Weight Watchers and doing Zumba like it's going out of style!

Just saw at my favorite outdoor mall that they do a Cooking class. Which you end up cooking your dinner during this class! 

Try a kick boxing class! Looks like fun and would be nice to Punch something and not get in trouble, since punching people if frowned upon. 

Have at least 20 posts a month on here! Considering there are 28,30,or 31 days in a month... I think I could do this.... I'd love to get more followers! I see people reading my posts but feels like I am talking to myself sometimes!

Go on another cruise! Yes! I would love to see The Virgin Islands...  That's our next want to spot to travel to! 

I want to have more dates with my Mom... I would love to go do more with her. Even if it is cook her dinner or something!

Level up in Younique! I would love to start selling more and level up. I have a lot of work to do to get that done. I need to take more PICTURES! I need to do more VIDEOS.  I feel like with getting healthy again I'll have the motivation to look good and feel good all working for me. 

Team up with more Bloggers to guest blog or do a fun post featuring both of us! Yes! I would love to work with another Blogger. Fashion...Makeup...TV Show...anything! I would love to share the styles or opinions of others and have a kick butt post because of it!

Sounds like an exciting year!

If you are a blogger and are interested in teaming up..... Please please please Contact me!!! I would love it!

What are your goals for 2017? 

Share them with us!

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe NEW YEAR!

Happy 2017!!!

Can't wait to see what the new year brings and work hard to get these goals accomplished!

<3 Ashley

Say it with your chest....

Good Morning! 

Hi

Hello

I am sorry this post isn't going to be an exciting one. 

I am also sorry I haven't posted in a few days.

 Haven't really had "blogger block"... I have plenty ready to post.. just missing pictures... Just haven't been ready to set them free. 

It's been a long week!

Now, I could sit here and complain about how tired I am.. How I don't want to work.. How I'm hungry... how I haven't had time to work out because I have been busy helping others... All the stuff that is bothering me....

BUT

I'm not!

There has been SO MUCH negativity around me lately... I thought it was just the election... but then family drama started... and All of it has made me very exhausted...

 I can't change it or fix it...

Can't make everyone happy

I heard a Kenny Chesney song this morning and I have heard it before several times.... but do you ever just hear a song at the right time and it either has a whole new meaning or you hear a lyric that stood out more then ever before? Well that's what happened listening to this song...

Which it's super crazy I am talking about how great I think Kenny Chesney is considering I was against him for a while... cause he sang about feet... 

True story

"Sun Tanned TOES tickling the sand... cold drink chillin in my right hand"  ( When The sun Goes Down)

Anyway the song this morning was......

Never Wanted Nothing More

Well, I'm What I am and I'm What I'm Not

And I'm sure happy with what I got

I live to love and laugh a lot

And that's all I need

For some reason just hearing those words this morning made the weight of the world come off of me... 

Like here I am!

Be happy with me or not... I am Happy with myself

I love Kris and Audrey and going home to them everyday is the perfect ending to my days...

The material things aren't really what it's all about...

I wish everyone else could feel the calm and happiness.

The being thankful for what you have.. not thinking/complaining about what you don't have.

I mean I am all about working towards your goals and such but do it for you not because your friend has it.

Be Yourself

I grew a better appreciation this week for some family members... They really work hard and they go unnoticed thanks to the others that are always looking for handouts....

There's my vent for today... I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense 

I want for everyone to tell a friend... a Co- worker... and/ or a Family member that you see their hard work in whatever they may do and that you appreciate it! 

Kindness is a label that don't go out of style...

Hope everyone has an awesome day... Throw on some Kenny Chesney to help you!

<3 Ashley

I need to grab the remote and take control again!

Good morning everyone! I have to apologize and fess to my actions and remind you and myself that I am able to do anything!

I'm sure you are reading this and going whaaat?! What happened? Where's the happy Ashley? That's a question I have been asking myself a lot here lately too. I cried to my mama last night and although getting a hug from her would have helped a lot more. 

I went to the doctor Monday and it was for a check up but I also explained to her that I haven't been feeling good the past 2 months. I have been having headaches off and on. My body has been hurting and weak feeling as if I am getting over being sick. Plus I have been so tired. 

My Fitbit stats went from 5,000- 10,000 a day to now getting 3,000-4,000 a day. I just haven't had the energy and my body has hurt.

The doctor was thinking it was my thyroid but I have yet to hear from the doctor since the test results have come in.

So after my cry session, I have decided maybe I am just making up excuses. 

I am BETTER then that!

Monday, I will start back with Weight Watchers! 

I did it last year and I can do it again this year!

I have already lost 3 pounds since the doctor visit on Monday.... So I am ready to push forward and get moving!

I have even more sources at my reach to get healthy again.

Weight Watchers.....Gym Membership at American Family....Zumba DVD

NO EXCUSES! 

I will Share with you all my progress and down falls.  

I am ready to feel like me again and there's no reason why I shouldn't.

I always like to have a goal to go after a long term and a short term.

 My long term goal is to go for the weight of 120 that is the weight I had gotten to last year and then everyone told me I was looking sick. 

Short term goal is to lose 5 pounds next week!

I will do my weigh in day on Friday next week and share with you. After that it will be on Mondays. I like starting fresh and kicking off the week with that goal.

If you would like to join along let's do this!

If any of you have tips you would like to share....Any recipes....I would love anything form you!

I want to make all of you proud but even more... MYSELF!

<3 Ashley

Happy, Healthy, and THANKFUL

Happy Friday! Hope everyone is Happy, Healthy, and thankful for everything they have around them! 

I am so happy It is Friday! my plans this weekend are to sleep and play with my makeup! I want to make how- to videos. Show off some more products! Anything to get that $800 taken care of to get PINK STATUS! 

The presenter I have signed up under me asked if I could help her out last night that her party had no activity.... I was blown away with how many videos she has on there.... Like whoa I need to step my game up for sure! 

Also, I am so excited and thankful... I have one of my friends wanting to do a make up one on one.. Totally down for that!!! 

Then my soon to be Sister In Law is well pregnant she is due in August. her Photographer friend would like to have her model for Maternity pictures and wants me to do her make up and advertise me as the makeup artist.

Like What? I am no make up artist by no means... but I am so excited that  I am going to get that opportunity!!

  Share with me some of your happy news!

Please stay tuned to see what all comes from all of this especially if I make Pink Status or not!
