Sweets, Food, and Jenifer Lawrence..

To all of you negative Nellie's who can't just be happy on Valentine's day I would like to remind you that Valentine's day is not just about having a boyfriend or a girlfriend to share it with. It's about being with anyone and everyone that you love! Yesterday I had a lovely day with my roommate and some single lady friends Sarah and Belinda. We all enjoyed some delicious Italian food from Pinocchio's and an assortment of scrumptious treats!

 

 

Speaking of sweet treats I must tell you about my new found love for an adorable, and dangerously close to the apartment, cupcake shop! It's called Yummy cupcakes and it's PINK inside!! They offer a different assortment of cupcakes everyday, they also have cupcakes in a jar, cute little mason jars! So far I've had the red velvet, apple pie, and a sampling of these sweet flavors!

 

This place is a for sure to-do when you're in Burbank!

 

 

Well I'll go ahead and keep the theme of food going with my new obsession of my crock pot. Do you have one? You should, it's genius! You just wake, put a bunch of food into the crock pot, let it cook all day and voila dinner is served right when you come home. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that it makes your home or apartment smell divine! Last week I made Chicken tortilla soup in our crock pot, it was mostly chicken soup though because we hardly used any tortilla's. It turned out just like this...

 

Like I said, not a scrap of tortilla's.

 

Now moving off the topic of food, although I could talk about it all day if you'd let me. I got to film an Oscars related bit for the show Extra! This whole thing was through David's Bridal, as if I didn't love my job enough. Basically it's a bit about what all the stars would look good in for the Oscars! I was a model for it and my looks were for Jenifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain, two women whose talents I admire greatly! The show will air the week of the Oscars, I'll be sure to update you with all the details!

 

 

Well I feel like we covered a lot of ground today folks, I shall now leave you with this gif of the lovely and talented Jenifer Lawrence..

 

 

 

XO,

Just another Manic Monday...

Mondays, the most dreaded day of the week, however I like to make mine as productive as I possibly can. My day begun with a trip to the gym, go me! It was followed by a glorious shower, some delicious oatmeal, and about half of my to-do list is now complete! Take that Monday! I'll also be going to work later and then baking some delicious Lemon bars with my baking partner in crime Jenny.

 

I'm sure ours look will look just as fabulous, if not more fabulous.

So another event that I must discuss on my blog today is my unfortunate car break in from last week. Yes, you read that right, my car was broken into. Now I realize that this is something that happens to a lot of people and it's nothing personal but that doesn't make it any less shitty. The car thieves took my navigation system (which was in my center consul, not in plain sight). They also popped my trunk and took a blender that my mom gave me from Christmas that I had still not taken out of my trunk, (which I realize should've been taken out of my car months ago). So I called the police and they came and finger printed my car, then the window repair people arrived and kindly vacuumed up all the broken glass and installed a new window for me. What a morning...at least I got this awesome picture with a police officer out of it!

 

Another thing that must be addressed today, Beyonce's Superbowl performance. First of all if I could be blessed with half of her fierce woman powers I would be forever happy. Second of all hearing Destiny's Child again reminded me of my mom, sister, and I all dancing to their music is the car at stop lights. However aside from all that she was just so incredible, man, her strut alone has more power than all the Victoria's secret model's runway struts combined. I'm just saying. Also that hair, every single time she whips it around I'm thinking, "Woah don't mess it up," but have no fear, Beyonce's hair will always return to it's natural state of being....fabulous.

Now on a more serious note, Breaking Bad. (Insert that noise that people make when they want it to sound like something just blew their mind) I watched the first episode yesterday, it was awesome. I realize that I'm a bit late jumping onto this bandwagon, but hey at least I made it. There's so much at stake for everyone involved in the story, it's amazing to see everything unfold! I highly recommend it, in fact I'm going to bring this post to an end so that you can log onto netflix and begin watching!

Well I can't let you go without a cat picture first...

Your heart just melted didn't it?

 

 

Enjoy the rest of you Manic Monday,

Ashley
