Hi! One of my favorite types of posts to read is personal posts so I can get to know the person behind their blog better. I've heard a lot of people say that on others posts too, so today I'm going to do the 50 facts about me tag. I've seen this tag around, and I would love to see more of my blog friend do this with me!
Other than my monlthy update posts which is just essentials what I've been up to, I haven't done many personal posts about me and what my interest are, etc. Let me know if you guys like this post and I will do more like it!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked this post Miriam!! And I would totally hold on to that half inch too haha!!
DeleteAnd thank you, but I promise my hair is just an illusion lol, I have to make it be nice otherwise It isn't haha! I guess we all probably hate our hair though right!
Awww, thank you so much for this post, Ashley, love love LOVE getting to know about you! I don't feel that bad about my height now, I've always grumble about my height because I'm 164cm which is 5ft 4 and half, I think but I'll shut up about it now. LMAO!

LOL Shireen!! You always make me laugh!! yes GOT has a lot of that in it, but I feel like the other seaons of it don't have as much (or maybe I just got use to seeing so much boobage LOL).
DeleteAnd I'm so so glad you liked this post!! You should do this tag too! And I actually like being short for some reason haha!!!
I'm almost finished Season 3 of GOT Ashley! LOL Is it Season 5 that's about to start? I'm trying to catch up. You're young, but very wise girl! That's good! I'm wayyyyy older than you! HAHAHA Let's just keep it at that. You're 5 feet and I'm 6 feet! HAHAHA Very tall! I want to travel overseas also. Especially London and France. Girl, I've been so scared to go, with all these things happening to planes. I'm not scared to fly, because I always did when I was little to now, but gosh...it's scary now. I think you're so talented when it comes to applying makeup. I want to attend a beauty conference! On instagram, I saw @themakeupshow and it travels to different states. Maybe it may come to Michigan? Check it out.

Yes seasons 5 starts on Monday!!! I'm glad you like the show Kim, now we can chit chat about it when you catch up!
DeleteAnd I totally get what you mean about traveling and flying, things are scary sometimes!!
Thank you so much Kim!
I think probably the first thing we learn from a new language, if learned from friends or coworkers, is how to say hello. The second is swear words and insults LOL. I think it's pretty cool to work in a place where you're not familiar with the culture. I work at a Vietnamese restaurant owned by Chinese people, and even though I'm not fluent in Mandarin I've learned a few phrases here and there. We have people that speak Spanish working in the back, and it's pretty funny cause they know more Mandarin than I do. And I'm learning some Spanish from them too! So I think that's a pretty cool thing.
ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed you're a lefty! I'm sorta ambidextrous, I am a dominant righty but there are some things I can do better/feel more comfortable doing with my left hand than my right which is a little weird haha. I don't have naturally cute hair either, I can brag that it looks pretty alright on day 2 but once it's past that I have to put effort into it :P
becky ♡ star violet
Hahah I agree that's always the first things we learn in a language! And that's so cool about where you works too!! I really love learning about different cultures!!
DeleteAnd hahaha I can't do anything with my right hand except use scissors, but that's cool you can use your left hand for some stuff!!
And same here with my hair!!
tomatoes are gross in anything other than pizza or spaghetti! hehe. i have headaches a lot too.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!!!!
DeleteI loved reading this Ashley!!! You are too cute and funny when you write! I hate tomatoes too! And flying. I'm making a trip next week and I am already having panic attacks about the stupid plane! I also didn't know we were almost the same age :) I used to play WoW too until school got so busy!
ReplyDeleteHaha thank you Margo!!! And that's why I hate flying haha I will sit and think about the stupid plane ride welds before I go on it and freak out lol! Glad I'm not alone!!
DeleteAnd you use to play wow too!!! Ahhh I wish you still did so I would have someone to play with!!
I would've never guessed you were a lefty lol. Loved reading this! Legend of Zelda Minish Cap is still my all time favorite video game to this day. I've also read HP a bajillion times - every summer to be exact!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed reading this!!? Minish cap is definitely one of my favorites too!!!
DeleteI loved reading this post Ashley! These type posts are so fun! I hate tomatoes as well! I also love pizza and mac and cheese! I haven't been on an airplane yet, but I already know I probably would have some anxiety lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked reading this!! The only good thing about flying is you get to places faster! But ugh I hate it. Even talking about it gives me anxiety haha!
