I want to thank Jodie for commenting on my last post and nominating me, if you haven't already you should definitely check out her blog because she's beautiful and her blog is A++. I really like the idea behind this post as it's about introducing more small bloggers to one another, which is really sweet and I'm up for being friends with all of you because you're all fabulous. So over on Jodie's blog it says that after you are nominated you start by posting 11 facts about yourself, then answer the 11 questions that blogger has written and finish with your own questions and nominate other bloggers. So without further rambling my eleven facts are:

1. Liverpool is basically one of my favourite places ever.
2. My favourite food is roast potatoes and gravy, I would eat this as a normal snack if I could. In all honesty I just really like potatoes. Orange juice is also my favourite drink (without pulp if you want to be really nice and buy me some).
3. I'm pretty sure I'm part cat, I make cat noises without meaning to and curl up in a ball which I'm certain isn't normal...
4. My geography is terrible, don't ask me anything about anywhere because I will not have a clue and will embarrass myself very badly.
5. If I could do any job in the world it would be either a teacher, or something like a radio presenter or something with writing. 
6. I use the word fabulous too much in one day.
7. At some point in my life, I need to own a french bulldog as they embody all that is good in the world. LOOK AT HOW FRICKING CUTE THEY ARE, I CANNOT COPE.
   
8. I used to be able to read tarot cards and play the ukulele, I haven't in a few years and I really want to start both up again.
9. I'm a Leo and I believe and love things stuff astrology wise.
10. I love summer, the sun, the heat and being tanned. That is when I am at my happiest.
11. I cannot handle spicy AT ALL, even most potato wedges are too hot for me. Which is extremely distressing.

And now on to the questions that have been asked:

1. Describe yourself in three words.
   I think I would probably have to go for strange, imaginative and ambitious.
2. What is your favourite past time?
   Probably laying in bed, listening to music and reading blogs!
3. If you could be one age forever, what age would you be and why?
   I don't know why but I feel like by 26 I'll be a bit more grounded and have more of an idea of what I'm doing and where I'm going to I feel that would be a cool age to stick at. Not too old and not too young.
4. Pick a movie character to describe your life.
   One of my closest friends once compared me to Wednesday Adams off of the Adams family, so I feel that is a brilliant one to go with! Or Tina from Bob's burgers (not a movie I know) as we are basically the same person.
5. Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life?
   Definitely either Kat Dennings or Mila Kunis. They are fabulous, sexy and great.
6. Favourite person and why?
   I don't know whether this means people I know or like famous people?! SO MANY CHOICES so I'm gonna do them all. People I know I'd say my favourite person is my mummy, because she's my mummy. Famous person it has to be John Krasinski, Ryan Gosling or Scott Disick.
7. What can you not leave the house without?
   My phone is probably my main one, as it basically just has everything I need on it and also headphones because I love listening to music whenever and wherever I can.
8. What's the one thing to give you a guaranteed pick me up?
   Going out for a coffee somewhere cute or feeding me endless bags of twirl bites.
9. If you could raid anyone's wardrobe who would it be?
   This is so difficult oh my god. It would probably be between Alexa Chung, Kylie Jenner and Vanessa Hudgens. I love all of their individual styles, and couldn't pick one because I just want all of their clothes please? If I HAD to go for one, it would be Vanessa Hudgens as she will literally wear anything that she likes and looks good in it all and I love everything she wears.
10. Finish this sentence: If I could be anywhere right now it would be…
    In a super hot country laying on the beach, shopping and exploring.
11. Most importantly, why did you start writing/creating your blog?
    I wanted to start it because media has always been a huge passion of mine, especially after studying it. I've also always enjoyed writing and rambling, but when I started sixth-form I got much more into beauty and lifetsyle bloggers and vloggers and since then I always wanted to start a blog of my own!

Thank you so much Jodie.

Hi my name's Ashleigh, and I'm an Instagram addict. I'm kidding obviously (or am I...) but I've always thought that its really sweet when you get bloggers who do little monthly updates of their lives through the photos they've taken. I post quite a lot on IG, but I've never felt any of the photo's I've taken are particularly note-worthy. This month however I have taken quite a few and so I thought why not give this post a go and see if I can keep it going, simply because I just think it's a really sweet and fun idea. These aren't in order, so I'm sorry, but I'll explain them in order of date just so it makes a bit more sense!

At the beginning of this month I went with my friend Zach to Essex university to visit our other friend Sean. With both of them being at different universities and myself working full time, we don't get to see each other a lot and so it was so fab to be able to spend the night drinking, dancing and just having fun with them. I definitely miss them both a lot *queue sad music* anyway I'm going to stop before I have them both read this and mock me for being soppy.

Second is the photo of the sunrise, I live in the middle of the countryside and I have to walk to my bus stop pretty early in the morning and this sunrise was so beautiful and had amazing colours so I thought a cheeky snap wouldn't hurt!
The next photo is of the little horse, which is the Chinese zodiac of 2014. The reason I took a photo of it is because I found it's eyes really funny and big, I'm quite clearly more of a child then I let on. This was a night I went out to try a Chinese all you can eat restaurant and the food was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

The next photo is of my lovely valentines card. I didn't receive any this year and it's probably one of the first years I've been single for valentines day in a while, which I'm totally okay with but also slightly passive- aggressive towards which I have no shame for. I got this from someone I work with and it made laugh so much because it was done on a post-it note and took about 30 seconds, if that isn't adorable I don't know what is. The day after I went and spent the day in Norwich, which was great because although I've only been a few times I just love the place and think its beautiful and awesome. I also got to try my first wagamama's which I was slightly apprehensive about as me and spicy food are not exactly friends so I was worried I'd have to force myself to eat some spicy food and die inside. However, I got this lovely chicken and noodle dish which I really enjoyed.

The last two photo's are from a night that I spent with my closest friend Frasmine. We haven't seen each other in a few months, but as soon as we're back together it's like nothing has changed and we're exactly the same as we use to be. We spent the night chatting, wearing face masks and watching keeping up with the Kardashian's (we cry all the time because we don't look like Kardashian's) and the last photo is of the extremely funky PJ bottom's I had to buy because in my tired state I forgot to pack some pajamas and Jasmine told me I HAD to buy these bottoms because they made us laugh so much. I'm glad I did because oh my gosh are they comfy!

So that's my month! I know there is still a week left, but I haven't got a whole lot planned in that time and as I've been a bad blogger recently I felt a post was in order. I'm going to try and do this monthly, if I can carry on taking photos at the rate I did this month! Did you enjoy this kind of post? Let me know!

After roughly a year of umming and ahhing about starting a blog, I decided to spend a few days planning everything in detail and here I am! In the past I've made blogs and written a few posts, then gotten bored and deleted it! So I'm hoping that this one will be different as it's something I've always wanted to do. As this is my first blog post it seems that I should probably do like a slight 'about me' type post.

Who am I?
My name is Ashleigh and I'm eighteen years old. The reason I decided to use my blog name as AshleighRhiane is because Rhiane is my middle name and unfortunately I couldn't come up with anything better and most of what I was coming up with was pretty tedious and boring anyway. So I thought why not just use my name as it'll be easier for people to remember? BAM, AshleighRhiane is born. I've recently finished my A-levels and instead of going to uni I'm just trying to figure what I want to do with my life and blogging and writing has always been something I really enjoy so I thought I'd see where this takes me.

Whats this blog for/about?
For years I've been in complete awe of fashion,beauty and lifestyle blogs. In a day I read about 5/6 different blogs and I can sit for hours and hours reading constantly like I'm in a trance, I have so much respect for bloggers and vloggers and so I've always thought "why not give it ago myself". This blog is going to be for fashion, beauty and lifestyle posts so it will include anything from reviews to posts of days out that I have so I'm sorry if it starts a bit slapdash and random but I'll try and organise my thoughts as soon as I can for anyone lovely enough to read my mess!

Why I decided to start this blog?
I decided to start a blog simply for the fact that I absolutely love to write and be creative and express myself. I do this on a number of different social media websites such as twitter and tumblr, but I've always wanted to do a proper blog on something I'm passionate about. I've always been interested in fashion and beauty and I can read articles on the latest collections and watch hours of tutorials purely because I adore it all so much. However, I never started one earlier because I've always thought that I'm not 'glamorous' enough and that I'm too plain. I'm the type of girl that lives in skinny jeans and jumpers, but I always wish I could be more adventurous. I also struggle a lot with my self confidence and that is as much as I'll say on the matter but I'm hoping by starting this blog I will be able to become more like the person I have always wanted to be!

I think for my first post I've rambled on for long enough and so I shall end it here! If you are lovely enough to actually read this please let me know as I'd be really interested and pleasantly surprised if you do! If you have any questions that you want to ask feel free to contact me by posting a message on this particular post or contacting me on twitter or tumblr.

Have a photo of my face!
