Hi! I'm Ashley. I'm a legal specialist, a blogger and a radio personality with a makeup and shoe addiction based out of Boston and the Pioneer Valley. These are my (mis)adventures.
As tempting as it was to go out, treat myself and splurge on something brand new to wear for Valentine’s Day (I was absolutely smitten with a heart-printed sweater from New York & Company I had spotted a few weeks ago- but they ultimately sold out of it before I had the chance to snatch […]
I know Valentine’s Day is a fairly divisive holiday that gets a mixed reaction depending on who you ask about it. Some people love it- making grandeur plans, wearing a lot of red or pink, decorating everything with heart-shaped-what-have-you, the works- and other people absolutely hate it. Often calling it a “Hallmark Holiday” used to […]
I am a lover and in some ways a collector of various perfumes/fragrances- and although I have some longtime favorites and scents I prefer over others- I try not to stick to one brand/product only. I like to mix things up every few months and try something new, revisit things I haven’t used in a […]
To some, it might seem a little strange that I would enjoy spending a perfectly good, warmer-than-expected afternoon wandering around the overgrown grounds of what was formerly a psychiatric institution- but Medfield State Hospital is surprisingly more peaceful than it is frightening or ominous.

Although I was rooting for the 49ers (and specifically, Jimmy Garoppolo,) during last night’s Super Bowl- it was still really fun and pretty intense to watch- and I’m happy for my friends from Kansas City who have been undoubtedly celebrating all night and well into the early hours of this morning. If your team isn’t […]
Another blogging tradition I’ve tried to keep alive and well over the years is reflecting on the month that was as it draws to a conclusion. With tomorrow marking the beginning of February (and Valentine Season-) I wanted to take the opportunity to revisit the past few weeks. I know we’re only in the very […]
When the end of the month approaches, I like to take a little bit of time to share some of the things I particularly liked and enjoyed over the previous weeks. This can range anywhere from products I discovered, random things I purchased, gifts I received- to music, games or television shows I got hooked […]
