Things You Should Do Daily

Over the years, I've been working on carefully refining my daily routines. Spontaneity definitely has its time and place, but I've found that I am pretty routine-oriented through and through. I need some sort of structure in my day-to-day life or else I find that inevitably various aspects of my health will be neglected. I'm finally at a[...]

I’d dreamed for the longest time about getting professional pictures in the city and really being thoughtful about my clothes and vision so that the aesthetic would match that of my blog brand. I’ve always loved photography, so getting any pictures[...]

I’ve shared some of my favorite Christian and inspirational songs on the blog before, like in this post here, and today I thought I’d share ten songs I’ve been enjoy[...]

Recap of January: What’s Working, What’s Not

As I write this, the sun is finally shining through my house, casting light off the solid dusting of snow we’ve had for this month. I’m already dreaming of warm days, and all this sunshine teases me into thinking we’re already there… With that said, it’s hard to believe the first month of the year is already over with! I mention[...]

What Opening Presents Shows Me About Living in the Moment

When it comes to opening presents, I’m still a kid at heart. I remember on Christmas Eve this year, a few hours before supper, I asked my mom, “When are we eating presents?” I had meant to ask when we were eating, since we always open our presents after supper, but clearly my excitement got ahead of me. As the moment finally ca[...]

How Designer Fashion Taught Me to Dream Big

Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve had a fascination with fashion. You could definitely say it’s become more of a passion with age, but there was always that spark there. My mom has shown me a lot of pictures of me when I was a baby and toddler, and she always picked out the cutest outfits for me, so maybe that’s what instilled in[...]

The Glamorous Side of Fashion: My Best Sparkly Purchases

I’ve always been attracted to the glitz and glam in life, along with pink, of course. Since sparkles are a key element in my personal style (as they are in my blog name, haha), I have made it my mission to incorporate as many sparkly fashion items into my wardrobe as possible. Unfortunately, this isn’t always easy to do, since sparkle[...]

Hi, I’m Ashlee!

Hi, I’m Ashlee!

Welcome to My Blog

I am passionate about sharing and living for Jesus, authentic storytelling, moving design, and all things girly, just because. Here on my blog, I love writing about all the things God is teaching me in my everyday life to inspire, encourage, and entertain for His glory, above all, and to share an honest, raw view of life, faith, and His light, love, and hope that saves. As an aspiring author, I record my journey of trusting God with all my dreams. I pray this space can help you fall in love with God more deeply, make you laugh, and encourage, challenge, and reassure you as you seek to live a bold, abundant life for Him.
