Goodness. Where do I start? I have been a huge fan of Ashley’s for a few years now. She was one of the very first people I found on YouTube when I got into the whole online beauty community. Ashley was of particular interest to me as she works for Sephora and who knows beauty products better than someone who works for Sephora? J I mentioned her in a previous post about my favorite “YouTubers” here. My favorite thing about Ashley is her personality. If you watch any of her YT videos you will see what I’m referring to. She is incredibly down to earth, hilarious, sarcastic, and seems like someone you have just known for years….just, real! These days she is focusing more on her blog which I also love! Another thing I adore – she always takes the time to respond to my questions/comments on Twitter, Instagram, etc. There are a lot of beauty gurus who don’t and I have so much respect and admiration for those who do. Keep doing what you are doing girl! You have taught me oh so much. Now, onto the questions J
What is your favorite gym routine? - I hate going to the gym lol I like having the whole thing to myself so I can do whatever I want. I cancelled my 24 hour a while ago and use my apartment gym since there is no one ever there! I usually warm up with cardio then do some weights and jump back to cardio and do intervals.
How often do you work out? - not as much as I should! I get hardcore for a few weeks then I take a week or so off. It's a bad habit, I just need to stick with it.

Favorite places to shop? - I love a bargain! Most of my clothes are from Marshalls and TJ MAXX. I also love Forever21, Target and H&M !
Favorite Starbucks beverage? Depends on the weather. If it is cold and snowy I ordered a Soy Vanilla Chai mmmm. If it's nice out then I usually get an iced green tea latte or a passion tea!
Favorite drugstore cosmetic product (brands and items?) I LOVE MASCARA!! I'm pretty sure I have tried everyone! I really like Maybelline products too! I always have had good luck with that brand!
Favorite high end cosmetics (brands and items?)- Well this is hard since I work at Sephora :) As an all-around brand I would say Smashbox and NARS are my "go to" brands. They have products for everyone and great options! I have always been obsessed with the Smashbox HD Foundation. It looks amazing in pictures and in real life too! Never heavy! NARS blushes are wonderful and they have new eyeliners that are great!
Favorite foundations? I have a love hate with foundation cuz I am so oily, nothing stays on me. Nothing! BUT, I do love the Smashbox HD, Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, and Givenchy Photo Perfexion!
