Life Via Ashley: The Waiting Game
http://lifeviaashley.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-waiting-game.html
I'm currently back home in CA waiting for my visa to the Netherlands. No, I was not deported (that was a Facebook April Fool's joke). I ran out my 90-day tourist visa and I'm waiting for my au pair. Visa to be issued (my uncle has been told we have verbal approval. We're literally waiting on them to mail the paperwork). I had planned on returning the 18th of April. I still don't have a return date. At this rate, it looks like I'll be here for my birthday next Monday. It's like I got stuck, snagged on a s...

Some days it's better. And some days it's just. 0 pieces of love. Plus-Size" Should Not Exist. I HATE. This. Term. First off, everyone knows that the super skinny ideals presented by the fashion industry are 1) Photoshopped. And 2) unrealistic. They sell the lie. That size 2 is the norm, where that is simply not the case. But you know what's actually the norm? What does that term even mean? According to Google, it means this:. Technically, "plus-size" is US sizes 12-24. The average. Look, I am not. Sayin...

Life Via Ashley: Bye Kupah
http://lifeviaashley.blogspot.com/2015/05/bye-kupah.html
The title of this post is a variation of the term "Bye Felicia", which (according to Urban Dictionary) is "an expression used to dismiss someone. This person is usually irrelevant and annoying.". One of my guilty pleasures is I love watching The Bachelor/Bachelorette. There are so many cringeworthy aspects of this show, but overall it is great entertainment. This season is the Bachelorette. It was off to a rocky start when the producers decided to do something stupid and have two. The topic of this post ...

Life Via Ashley: January 2015
http://lifeviaashley.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Scripture Thought of the Day. I was reading my scriptures today, and this verse jumped out at me:. I also know that as many things as have been prophesied concerning us down to this day have been fulfilled, and as many as go beyond this day must surely come to pass" (Words of Mormon 1:4). It also ties in with one of my favourite scriptures:. And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie" (Enos 1:6). 0 pieces of love. Me and Louise all graduated! Started a new life back in California and got a job at Apple!

Plus-Size" Should Not Exist. I HATE. This. Term. First off, everyone knows that the super skinny ideals presented by the fashion industry are 1) Photoshopped. And 2) unrealistic. They sell the lie. That size 2 is the norm, where that is simply not the case. But you know what's actually the norm? What does that term even mean? According to Google, it means this:. Other people, such as model Hayley Hasselhoff, have defined it as just being "curvy". Technically, "plus-size" is US sizes 12-24. The average.

Life Via Ashley: July 2015
http://lifeviaashley.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
The drought was the very worst. When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst. It was months and months of back and forth. You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore. Hung my head as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a perfect storm. Rain came pouring down,. When I was drowning. That's when I could finally breathe. And by morning gone was any trace of you,. I think I am finally clean. There was nothing left to do. So I punched a hole in the roof.

Life Via Ashley: Book Reviews
http://lifeviaashley.blogspot.com/2015/05/book-reviews.html
So right now I'm on books #26, 27, 28 of this year (I start reading a book, then realize one if due at the library, so I need to start reading that one, etc. Fellow bibliophiles will recognize this problem). I decided I need to do more reviews of some of the books I've read. To kick it off, here are two of my favourites from this year so far:. A Darker Shade of Magic. I also follow the author on Twitter and she is absolutely charming and entertaining (and the same age as me! 27 August, 2015 02:31.
