Empty Promises & Daylight Savings are the worst.

Valentines Day Pretties

I feel like my blog has become a bad relationship. Making empty promises saying I will follow through and then inevitably abandon for a few weeks, just to pop back up at the worst time when my blog is over me. Thank God for my "annoying blogging nag" fairy - she knows who she is. 

I've read a few blogs and I realize a lot more are just simple, straight to the point entries. Short and sweet - like me, ha! Maybe that's what I need to do, keep it short and sweet. There I go again with the empty promises, anyways....

Spring is upon us and Daylight Savings is this weekend. Who came up with this idea that we should lose an hour of sleep once a year?! I don't know about you but I have a hard enough time catching enough Zzz's in general.

Soon to be longer days and warmer nights, despite the horrid time change I'm most excited about dusting off my shorts, floral skirts and bright colored tank tops. My girl Tana wrote a great little piece on what the ladies should pull out of their closets for the new season (check here: Spring Fever). The sun just pulls me outside to run to the beach or hike a trail. Unfortunately LA's ever popular and beloved Runyon Canyon will be closed most of the summer but there's always Griffith Park or the Hollywood Trial... OR if you're up for an adventure go on a hunt for the Abandon LA Zoo. If you're really feeling active you can always brave the Santa Monica Stairs, which might kill you if you're not careful - that's my goal for the summer.

What are you all most excited for this Spring? Share with me in the comments.

New Year's Resolution 2016

 I'm back!!

Or I'm trying to be... I've been gone since June. Life got busy and I lost sight of what I really wanted to be doing and that was writing and sharing here - my own little piece of the blog world.

I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions because the whole "New Year, New Me" thing is utterly ridiculous. I see very few people holding to their resolutions, I generally just aim to grow and be a better person each year. This year I've decided on an actual resolution and it's to start and continue posting in blogs every week; I'm going to start with every other week but I hope to reach once a week before the middle of the year. 

I was talking with my best friend Tana (aka The Styled Society - check her out for some amazing fashion) about being busy and worrying about not having anyone interested in reading what I wrote about... and she's basically told me to "man up" and stop worrying about whether or not anyone is reading it or not; really that's what best friends are for. I've decided to write for myself, I enjoy it and if I'm doing something I enjoy the readers will come. I'm aiming to write something fun and interesting in the New Year.

Until Next Time

Hey, hi, hello there!

Salutations to all you wonderful people!

My name is Ashley Suzzanne... it's pronounced SUS-zah-n, almost like "Susan" but not quite. I wish there was a way to place some audio here like on a translation site hahaha.

Anyway, this is my intro to the world of blogging. I've been wanting to start a blog for quite some time and just never had the courage to really do it, which is strange because I'm not the type to be nervous about sharing my thoughts and feelings. I think it was more of a unfamiliarity with the world of blogging and not sure of what direction to take my blog. I have some amazing influences though their styles and content are very different than what mine will be; I think I may have possibly put pressure on myself and felt a need to fit into their ways.... but I have come to grips and realized I was being silly. 

I once was an avid writer. I used to write DAILY in journals or diaries, whatever type of notebooks I could get my hands on. My mom knows... she spent plenty of money on buying me spiral notebooks or even investing in leather bound journals as I was growing up. They are piled in my hope chest in my old room at her house, thankfully she doesn't mind holding onto them for me until I find a big enough place for myself.

Writing used to be a great outlet for me. There's something about putting your thoughts on a piece of paper that just feels right to me. I'm unsure of why I lost touch with doing so but I'm excited for this because life is beautiful, extraordinary and tragic as you all know and I really can't wait to share it with all of you.

My main goal is to spread positivity and happiness, not just through this but in my life. This way my reach can hopefully be a little bit further, I have short arms so it can be hard.

Today I'm going to be posting TWICE, exciting right? 
Introductions and then the real fun begins :)
Stay tuned...
