I can’t believe how fast this year is flying by – it’s already May! Spring and summer are always my favorite times of the year so I’m excited for the next few months. But let’s backtrack to last month (and the end of March) I’ve tried a lot of new products, etc and wanted to share a rundown of some of my current favorites. Some aren’t a surprise or new (Levis) but most are new to me!
Six years ago today I hit publish on my first blog post. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for that long! Lately I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how I started blogging and I thought today would be the perfect day to dive into it.
My road to contact lenses started years ago, decades really. In second grade something came over me and I decided I wanted reading glasses as an accessory. Somehow I successfully failed an eye exam and left with lavender reading glasses that had a rhinestone butterfly in the corner. Did I need those glasses? Absolutely not. But my 7- year-old self was thrilled with the new possibility of wearing glasses to change up my look from time to time. My parents had no idea I purposely failed the test and I’m not sure how thrilled they were when I finally confessed to them years later.
I’ve always loved balloon garlands and knew I wanted to make one for Crosby’s party. I cannot even begin to tell you how much research/YouTube watching I did to prep for this garland. I was prepared for battle, but it honestly wasn’t that bad! I want to share what worked for me, in case it can be helpful if you’re trying to making something similar.
What a weekend! I think I’ll be recovering from Crosby’s Birthday party for the next month. Kid’s parties are no joke! I posted some photos on my IG story over the weekend and got a lot of questions on where everything was from so I wanted to get a post up with some of my favorite details.
I'm Ashley, a professional stylist, wife, and new mom, sharing my love of fashion, beauty, home decor, travel, and life in sunny Southern California!
