What I've Been Lovin' in February! :)

I have definitely been lovin' a lot of things this month!
I'm a little bit early -- forgive me or be happy! :)



So first off is my Avon/Advanced Techniques Super-Straight Smoothing Hair Balm. I love the texture of this balm. It doesn't make my hair crunchy, like gels, it's just goes on smoothly, like silk. Its color is just transparent. I love this balm, it definitely falls under the "everyday use" category!!


Aviators! It's under 20 degrees here and I still wear these! Too cute to pass up! ;)


Finally found out the name of this pattern! Damask! Haha! I love this print/pattern, and I want a bag made out of it! It's so chic, ♥



Can't forget the gloss RIGHT? :) I love elf's Hypershine glosses! Thank you elf, for this amazing dupe of Stila Lip Glazes. When I see these, it's such a steal because their a dollar, and Stila Lip Glazes are 22.00+! Although I wish you had a bigger variety and collections!!! :)

Carribean Salsa is my new favorite home fragrance scent from Bath and Body Works. It's so unique. It's said to smell like Luscious pineapple, fresh peach blend, Yuzu flower, and vanilla. I think it smells like citrus & flowers. MMM! :)


One of my go-to PocketBacs! Smells like watermelon & canteloupe! :)

My other go-to PocketBac! Smells like cinnamon, vanilla, and spices.


FOOOOOD TIIIIMMMEEEEE! :o)
Talk about Girl Scout cookies... Tried Samoas? Gotta have em!



Favorite food.
EVER.

Yes, today is the day and I am SO excited!!!! I know exactly what I am going to buy. This time I won't be declined! lol! I am gonna use my free body care item with any purchase of 10$ or more as well! I'll let you guys know what I got when I come back. Gonna take a shower, now. TTYL!(:

Review: e.l.f Hypershine Glosses

This is the way I do my reviews:

  • Two Pros
  • Two Cons
  • Lasting Power 1-10
  • Price
  • Tube (Packaging)
  • Dupes?

NOW we can begin! :)

  • My Pros would have to be that this is not sticky at all!!! It goes on so smooth. My second Pro is the packaging. You have to twist the bottom and the gloss comes out of the brush and you slide it across your lips. I think this packaging is very easy to figure out and it looks professional.
  • My Cons are that e.l.f doesn't have a big variety of colors to choose from for these glosses. I wish they had more unique colors. My other Con is that they don't do collections. Which I think they TOTALLY should. Ex. Thanksgiving Collection! A shimmery, brown color. A gold color. An exaggerated red. And maybe a coral, that looks like orange.
  • Lasting Power 1-10 would be a 6, because they don't last all day but they are pretty good. Plus, I don't mind re-applying gloss.
  • The price is AMAZING. ONE DOLLAR A TUBE!
  • The packaging, as I've said before, is really nice.
  • The one dupe I know of is Stila Lip Glazes. These Lip Glazes are crazy expensive. 22 dollars a tube. And you can get the exact same thing for a dollar at Target. 5 e.l.f Hypershine Glosses = 5$ 5 Stila Lip Glazes = Over 100$. Crazy, right?
I have the gloss in Flirt, and I've been on http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ for info on collections & such, which is where I get my reference.




My Izze Experience :(

To be honest,






I HATED THAT IZZE! It was fizzy-er than soda! It felt like acid on my tongue! It was 100% horrifying and I can't believe I obsessed over them! UGGGHHH. I had the Clementine and the Blackberry, and they are both disgusting. Have you tried them? Ideas for the next post? Comment below your favorite drink!(:

Mine is Raspberry Lemonade for life ♥

Thanks!!(:

Candles. Candles. And Ooh! Did I Mention Candles!?

Hey you guys!(:

PLEASE follow this blog if you like it! And tell your friends to follow it too!

My news is that I smelled an AMAZING scent at Target. I know, Target, right? But it was called Apple Blossom.

It's supposedly a Yankee Candle fragrance, but I've never seen it in there. The packaging is different so I guess it's discontinued? But it smelled AMAZING. There was also a Lemon Cupcake one that smelled heavenly, like a buttery lemon square, still hot and moist from the oven! It did not smell fake/artificial at all. They are priced high, at a whopping 25.00 plus tax, but I might buy them! Delish. ♥


If you have tried these pleeeease let me know the quality! Thankkkkksssss.♥

Afternoon Meal!



The salad I made this time was sort of watery, but it was STILL YUMMY. ♥

I ran out of caesar dressing today, lol.

I am drinking raspberry lemonade, in my adorable Popo cup! :)


Gonna do one more post, homework, then workout. xD

Starting Off Perfect! My Caesar Salad ☺

Hey you guys! I wanted to show you guys my DELICIOUS salad that I just finished eating :)

Done with homework, dog is playing outside, on my blog, diet's going well, life is good :D

I figured I'd show you a picture of my salad....
Ingredients:

  • Caesar Salad Dressing (Any works!!)
  • Lettuce
  • Parmesan Cheese (To add a bit of flavor. Don't overdo it, that will add more calories! )

Don't add croutons if your trying to be healthy (like me). From hearing the word "salad" you might automatically think "HEALTHY" but if you add on more and more, it decreases on the "good-for-you" level!

Thanks!

~ASHLEY♥

Izzes: Mocking Me As We Speak(:

You don't know how BADLY I want one of these! Thoughts on Izze's? On the Facebook Fan Page, everybody is obsessing over them! Especially the Clementine one, which is the one I want! My friend said it's very sour, but our taste buds are different! Must. Try. Lol xD


 

♥♥♥♥♥




Question Of The Day ☺ Thoughts On Yankee Candle?

I love their tarts! 100% recommend them! Orange Dreamsicle is heavenly, a creamy light french vanilla with the tart orange peel mixed in. LOVE! xD

As for other scents, Fruit Salad is amazing. Their candles do not tunnel! Amazing quality! If they do, I have a technique to help you! Will explain in another post, if you'd like ♥

My mom has had this Ocean Water BIG candle, and it smells so amazing, like the sand, and the calm, soothing waves lapping in the distance(:

She's had it forever and it has NOT tunneled! It's a gorgeous shade of blue too! It has black stuff around the rim at the top, (smoke) but you can wash that off easy! Tips in another post? I'd be glad to!(:

As for prices, they are a bit overrated, but the tarts are fine. Although, they could have a mini sale on those, like 3 for 3$, but that's just me! :) I love it overall and you should go there soon!


Thanks for requesting, Julianna! Hope this helped! ♥

FAQ.♥

Today I'm clearing the air for everyone who's been bombarding me with questions! Let's begin ♥

  1. Why do you use hearts so much? Well, I love hearts, and love! I think it makes any sentence prettier ♥
  2. What font do you use for your blog? Gorgeous!! Thanks(: I use "Coming Soon" I also think it's pretty too! Try it sometime for your blog! It's hard to find, when I saw it on Blogger, I immediately feel in l♥ve(:
  3. Why can't you do videos on YouTube? :( I'd watch! I'm touched that you'd like to see them! And safety issues with my parents. When I'm older, I promise. Plus my camera's quality is so bad it's embarrasing! You wouldn't want to see it, doll ♥
  4. Favorite Show? JerseyShoreeee♥. Jerseylicious, iCarly (it makes me laugh ♥), VicTORIous, Glam Fairy, Genuine Ken (online @ hulu), and PRETTY LITTLE LIARS.♥

My New Diet (Not for Weight, for Abs :P)

Hi you guys!(:
Disclaimer: I am not a self-conscious girl who will soon be anorexic. I just want some abs, some muscle :) Is there anything wrong with that? No!

Also, I eat a ton of junk food, and that needs to stop! I'm going on a "diet", not necessarily, let me just explain my routine from now on.

  • Sit in straddle position while watching TV
  • During commercials, do sit-ups/crunches
  • 2 push-ups a day -- add 2 more the next day (should total up to 60 by the end of the month)
  • 30 minutes on the treadmill
  • Run outside 6 times around the loop of street (it's starting to get warm here! )
  • Drink water and Izze's (sparkling juice that's good for you)
  • At least one veggie/fruit a day
  • Watch fitness videos on YT
  • NO chips, candies (one a month), cake (unless it's a birthday party), pizza, soda (I don't drink it anyways), and anything else unhealthy. There are small exceptions
  • Practice volleyball or soccer (sports I play) for 30 minutes a day, unless I have practice with my team/at a camp that day
  • 13 mountain climbers (my lucky #)
  • Lastly, Workout DVDs from Jillian! I am asking for these for my birthday, so this won't start until then!

If you have any tips, PLEASE post them below! ♥

Hopefully this gave you some ideas/direction!(:

♥ you guys! xD

Favorite Spring Scent From Bath and Body Works?

It's a three-way tie between:

  • Peach Bellini
  • Tropical Spice
  • Pink Sangria
Peach Bellini - A scent that smells like Sprite &/ Sparkling Water to me, peaches, and cream.

Tropical Spice - A scent that smells like cinnamon, a nice spicy scent, floral, and vanilla. SO yummy.

Pink Sangria - Pink Lemonade. 'Nuff said, lol.
