Today.

Part 1-Choosing Happy

Enjoy today. 

Look around you. You may not have the perfect life you have always envisioned but never, ever let that stop you for enjoying the moments and little things of today. Today might be the day for divorce papers, saying goodbye to a loved one, a new promotion (you deserve it!), a boring day, or the day of your wedding (congrats!). Whatever day it may be soak it in. You have an awful no good day? Bad days are inevitable but if you think about what is good and positive at the moment then maybe that bad day wont be so bad. You may have lost your job but that still doesn’t make you any less of a person. You are an awesome human being that now gets a chance to explore a new job or even make a life change in your career. Think about how amazing that is.  Take the time to enjoy the traffic jam on the way to work; you can discover great music that you may have never heard otherwise. Be thankful for the person who spills coffee on you—you needed to get rid of that shirt anyways. It is all about perspective. It can be a really, really good boring day or it could be a really bad boring day. The choice is up to you. Today is now and there is no going back.

10 Reasons I (and now probably you) want to be British.

Why I love America but belong in the UK:

TEN REASONS WHY I SHOULD BE BRITISH

1. One Direction. Just seriously. I am twenty years old and I can't lie about the fact that my best friends and I are completely smitten. It's their music, attitude, and pure adorableness that pull me in. My 70 year old grandmother is even fond of them. I feel like that has to say something!
2. Tea. England people enjoy it and so do I. We Would make the best pair then. Who's up for a tea party?
3. The Accent. There are many accents but seriously how does theres sound like smooth jazz? (Horrible metaphor but you know what I mean.) It melts me like butter on a skillet.
4. Clothing. I have seen so many haul videos that include stores like Boots or Primark. WHEN CAN I FINALLY GO TO ONE?
5. The Queen reminds me of my grandmother in the best way possible. She's absolutely adorable and I'd love to hug her.
6. MEN. From what it seems to be they seem to actually be proper. Mind you I have such an american mindset and I am sure there are the assholes as there always is. However, they also seem more resevered. Im a sucker for a shyer man. 
7.Music Scene. BASTILLE, BEATLES, ONE DIRECTION, MCFLY, BUSTED. I have to say my favorite bands hail from across the pond, just another reason I need to be there.
8. The beautiful villages or towns as Americans call them. I watch a lot of youtube videos about people in England and they absolutely live in the most adorable towns. I think that since England has been around for so long it adds such great character to even the towns.
9. London. The mecca. I will probably faint the day I step onto that ground and then run and get a picture of Big Ben. History meets city and that is so beautiful. They have cobblestone streets and lovely looking shops. And now I am daydreaming...
10. Harry Potter. Like come on you were expecting it. J.K. Rowling is a pure genius and the UK is responsible for this. 
Soo, any one down for a trip to England?
Much love,
Ash

Internet People.

I just wanted to take the time out to say something you all ( all meaning anyone who reads this blog where as I am not really sure who does, if you do you are lovely, but anyways on to the post..) so something you probably know by being internet people yourself and that is that you are all blooming AWESOME. I don't think I have ever felt more happy knowing that other people obsess over the same things I do for example: one direction (Liam you have my heart), makeup, being single (and not so ready to mingle), and just for knowing what can make me laugh until I cry. Tumblr and Bloglovin is so responsible for this. Tumblr makes me feel like I am not the lonliest person and the world and Bloglovin lets me live out my dream life in other people's fascinating lives. Youtube to make me love people I don't know and make me aware of products that I simply can't afford. Then Buzzfeed to make me know what is going on in the world but at the same time be HILARIOUS. Is it healthy? No. But I am not talking about being healthy! So thank you Internet for making me laugh until I cry and having the best sense of humor ever. Now, if only a boy could make me laugh like you all.... then we would have another thing comin.
Hehe. Love you all,
Ash
