Most Memorable Moments of 2015!

What it izz?! Happy New Year World… Hoping each and every one of you had a great holiday season. Special birthday shout out to one of my besties, Jess… Hope you had a fun day 🙂 And while I’m at it…. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL MY FELLOW CAPRICORNS (and Aquarius babies lol). January is always a big month. I know so many ppl with bdays back to back. (My Mommy 🙂 , sisters, niece, nephews, friends & more family!) Here’s to another year of life! :*

So it’s that time of the year again, where I like to run down my fave moments. Only this time, I’ve decided to throw in some random & not so fun facts. Lol Here we go!

My 10 Year Class Reunion – This was awesome. I just knew I had to go back home for this event. You only get one 10 year reunion and I wanted to be there. 🙂 This trip gave me a chance to not only visit with my family & friends, but really catch up with people who played a major role in my childhood & teen years. Boy, did the memories come floating back! Everyone looked the same – just a lil’ older. If that makes sense. Lol I think it’s always important to go to those kinds of events with a positive attitude, and expect to have a good time. Thank You to the student council & all those who made that night possible. Rest in Peace to those we’ve lost along the way and much love & success to you all. One time for Shorewood High School… Class of OH Five! (Shorewood, WI)Class Reunion

Celebrating Halloween – My time had finally come. I put in the effort and the outcome was awesome. I decided I would dress up for Halloween! Lol See I had been slacking in October these past few years. So I planned a gathering (ya’ll know how much I love hosting 🙂 ), decorated my home (I had a field day in Walmart! What an adrenaline rush lol #lame), put on some scary movies, and dressed as the one & only, Selena Quintanilla!

I’ve heard people say that Halloween is the “Devil’s Holiday” and it may be, technically. IDK. I haven’t’ done all of my research. Lol But I do know that I’ve always been the kind of girl who loves being festive, playing games, being competitive, participating in Spirit Week for Homecoming at school, “Wear your Christmas Sweater to Work Day” lol etc. So I’ve always used this holiday as a time to dress up and indulge candy – and I see no harm in that. It’s also a fun time to pay homage to those who inspire us! Thank You Selena 🙂 RIP. Selena

Where Have My Curls Gone? And here goes my bitter rant. I’ll TRY to keep it short. As you all know, I’ve experienced heat damage. Few months ago, my hair was straightened, I washed it weeks later, and my curls were gone 🙁 It’s been about 4 1/2 months since, and I’m more at ease than before. I’m learning how to deal with it. Maybe it was God’s way of getting me to learn about my hair, appreciate it & learn how to take care of it. (I’m trying to find the good in all of this, guys! lol) Really though, I’m doing more reading and finding out basic things I never knew before. I always thought my hair was good & healthy because I’ve always been natural, never used chemicals, and rarely ever went to salons. But there is so much more to healthy hair…Taking care of yourself, managing stress, eating habits, your water intake, harmful sulfates in shampoos, the importance of satin bonnets & pillow cases! The list goes on. I’ve been doing my own hair since K5, guys. Ha! I’ve just always loved styling it. I had never read books or taken advice from a professional. Now I’m educating myself. Hair

Ya know, I guess it’s like having a natural talent, then having to still sharpen your skills. Long story short, I’m fine. Uh. Lol More mindful of what I put in my body … wearing more protective hairstyles, etc. My damage isn’t as bad as some other YouTubers I’ve seen, that have come a long way. So I’m hopeful that this time around, my curls will be healthier! Nooo, I haven’t decided to do a big chop or anything, buut it may be a good time to try something new… ?? 🙂 Hair Collage

Don’t Cry On Christmas – I went home for the holiday & left feeling so grateful. Thank You to everyone who made the time to visit with me. I know how busy schedules can be, esp during the holidays, and I appreciate all the efforts. Still didn’t get to see everyone I wanted to, but I did see the majority of my family. 🙂 We did our first gift exchange. I hadn’t video recorded on Christmas in years! As a child, my mom pulled out the video camera every Christmas and filmed the family opening gifts. It was nice to bring that back. 🙂 I’m an adult now, and forget that as I get older, so does everyone else! Haha. My siblings have kids, and it’s their generation for gifts! Gotta love the little ones, right? 🙂

As I left my mom’s house, I looked back at my youngest nephew standing in the doorway with my mom. Both with the biggest smiles on their faces. I had to walk back up the steps for another hug and kiss, see ya later. (I’m tearing up as I type this 🙁 ). As I got in the car, I began to think about how 5 days wasn’t enough… how Erin was down to ride all over Milwaukee with me (and not complain about how many times she watched my performances at each family member’s house lol)… I thought about how rushing or just feeling rushed takes away from being in the moment. I was so happy to see my family and was just reminded of how blessed I am. It was a reminder to relax and not get so caught up in everything else on life’s “To Do List.” One thing at a time. One day at a time. Be in the moment & don’t forget to enjoy it. Twins

RANDOM FACTS:

  • My eye has been twitching the past few weeks. Stress? Eye strain? Tiredness? IDK. But here I go diagnosing myself again… Maybe I’m on my smart phone and computers/laptops too much. I hate that much of what I do requires me to be online or looking at a screen. Just put the phone down.
  • “Nashville” has become one of my favorite new shows. Yes, I know it’s been on a few years, but I’m just now watching lol. Thank you Queen (my vocal coach) for putting me on to this show! I just finished the first season today and cried. Smh. When did I become such a crier?
  • Not so excited about managing loans, filing taxes & making appointments; but we all know it has to be done. So much more responsibility comes with getting older. Put your Big Girl Panties on.
  • I’ve recently realized & accepted that waiting in certain lines & big crowds gives me anxiety. HA! Seriously, I get an uneasy feeling & stressed just thinking about it… How long will the wait be? Will I lose my spot if I go pee? Will someone accuse me of skipping when I come back, EVEN though the person I came with is still standing there?! … Is it gonna be cold outside? Why does this remind me of waiting for the Milwaukee Transit city bus everyday in the middle of winter? 🙁 … I should have arrived earlier to the concert … OMG I can’t even see the band! … Will someone pop off once they realize I’ve been sneaking my way closer to the stage every five minutes? Annnd scene. (sigh)

Hi guys! I have some NEW performance footage for you! This past July I performed at the first International Bicycle & Music Festival (IBMF) in Stone Mountain, GA. I think this was actually my first time at the Historic Stone Mountain Village. It reminded me of Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward. 🙂 (Then again, everybody’s “downtown” or historic districts look pretty similar. Lol) MKEI loved the feel of it. This festival was just a big ‘ol block party! Well known cyclists showed off their wheels, vendors on site, FOOD, face painting, live entertainment, plus ALL of the local shops were open for business! It was so hot that day. It’s funny, I remember we all kept talking about the weather and immediately after we got off the stage, it began to rain…hard ya’ll…with gusts of wind! Lol So praise God for cooling us down, then bringing the sun back out. post 

We ended up staying the whole night! (Shout out to my good friend, TJ, who always comes out to support us.) We ate barbeque & lots of Italian ice 🙂 Good times. Thank You to Star Dillard for having me! I hope to attend again next year.

(Much love to Patrice, a woman with so much energy, a beautiful spirit, and who gets ‘DOWN on the dance flo!’ You will hear us doing a little call & response during the performance. Haha! Nothing was planned, but it was all on beat! I love it.) #CrowdParticipation #EnergyExchange Patrice

Thanks for watching!!! Love ya’ll 🙂

SMH. It’s been way too long since I’ve talked to my people. Please forgive me. Seeing as this is the last Friday of the month, it’s only right that I bring you Fun Fact Friday for July! Let’s play catch up!

  1. I snuck home for the Fourth of July. HOME

Edward & I took a quick road trip to the Midwest and thankfully I got to spend all of my time with family & a few good friends in Milwaukee. That’s how I wanted it. (Thanks to my peeps that stopped by the crib to see me & the fam.) 🙂 Next visit, I’ll stay longer.

  1. Jay-Z, Beyoncé & I were all in the same room together.OTR2

Okay, maybe it wasn’t a room. Lol but I had the opportunity to attend the On the Run Tour — Praise God! I was shocked I was actually going. How was the show? AMAZING. I’m all out of words at the moment. But no worries, I recorded a new diary for ya’ll to watch. It’s coming soon! *Pinky promise* (Check out my last edition of AshleYYY Diaries here!)

  1. Another reason why I love Liam Neeson.

I recently saw the film, “Non-Stop” starring Liam Neeson and posted my thoughts via Twitter.

“He plays these secret agent/bad guy fighter roles well lol don’t you just love his voice too.” This is a great suspense/action movie that has you on yo toes guessing who the bad guy is! Ya’ll know how Liam do. His roles are never disappointing. So if you’re visiting a Redbox tonight, grab this flick! (SN: I enjoy reading the hashtags on social media to see who else has watched the film. It’s always cool to see others with similar thoughts. This lady & I almost tweeted the exact same thing. lol)

  1. 14 Things Good Hosts NEVER Do! 

Okay so my sister, Erin, put me on to this site called WISE BREAD – Living Large on a Small Budget. I receive daily emails from them & just love reading their articles. I learn a lot! This last one I just had to share… When the host has no toilet paper in their bathroom: “I’d die of humiliation and then come back to life as the ghost that haunts that terrible host forever.” Lol! Obviously the person who wrote this was bitter & wasn’t afraid to admit it! I loved their sense of humor & the examples given. I picked up some pretty good tips too! (Read the full article here!)

  1. Quote of the week: “Take Your Pleasures Seriously.” -Charles Eames, American Designer

I pondered on this for minute. I thought about how much we stress about work and how serious we are when it comes to business. But what about when it’s time to just enjoy yourself and do you?! It should be just as serious, right? Always make time to relax and/or do things You LoVe! And don’t let anybody make you feel bad for doing so! – I then learned Charles Eames, turned his pleasure (design) into his work. 🙂 I love that. Either way, take your hobbies & interests seriously.

PLEASURE

Happy Friday World! 

“..Have some fun” 😉

Yours truly,

~AshleYYY 🙂 *Ms. Triple Threat*
