Here's to New Beginnings!

Hello there! Welcome! My name is Ashley and well, here it is... my very FIRST post on my very OWN blog! I have been talking about this project for months now and I cannot believe the time is here to let her go "live" for everyone to see! I am excited that you are here!

My passion for creating this blog stems from my husband's decision to go back to school. While he has been preparing for that new journey (starting September 2014) I was looking for an outlet for myself; something that I could start to do in my spare time as he will soon be busy with classes and studying.

To start, the name of my blog stems from the fact that I work full-time as a registered nurse. While sometimes it's easy and comfy to spend 36 hours a week in scrubs, I am also a shopaholic and love to try new styles and patterns. Since I will be the sole person working in our household I will have to become more budget-conscious, therefore: closet remixes, sales and deals, and DIY projects! These are some things that my blog will tend to focus on as well as some of my favorite recipes. I will also be teaming up with Michelle Marie, owner and stylist at Bloom Beauty Boutique, for some hairstyling tips and tutorials!

I am so glad that you stopped by and I hope that you will join along with me on this adventure! So I ask, raise your glass this is a toast: Here's to new beginnings and all that is in store for this new journey! Cheers!
