Ok, so I have been obsessed with the Wahlbergs since I was in diapers! Crushin' on Donny Wahlberg during his NKOTB days and then later for Mark during his pants dropping, criminal record, "Good Vibration" days. I can honestly say that 22 years later and Mr. Mark Wahlberg is still FINE AS CAN BE! He's like fine wine & gets better with age.

What are his secrets? Well clearly he takes care of himself, and does a great job doing so!

Eating clean doesn't have to suck!

I hate the word DIET! Diets are usually fads. Successful at first, but then you miss eating the foods you love so you regress and go in junk food overload to make up for loss time! Never good- so stay away from the dieting!

Try to making healthier choices when eating the foods you love! I found I have not had to deprive myself of anything I love, just learn to make them with healthier ingredients!

Like these pancakes for instances: soooo yummy and made healthier:

3/4 cup of Oates
1/2 banana
2 eggs
1tsp of vanilla
1tbsp of brown sugar
Blend into liquid, heat pan, and cook!!

I don't use syrup I use tsp of brown sugar, 1 tbsp of honey with a squirt of water, melt together in microwave and drizzle over pancakes! Add fresh fruit and enjoy!!!

Scarves

So I woke up to attend church today. Feeling tired and lazy I wanted to put little effort into today's outfit so I stuck with the #sockbun updo, paired with pearls, black BCBG Max Azria VKE dress and leggings but accessorize with this amazing navy, black and white printed scarf (which is also BCBG Max Azria)

You can take any outfit and jazz it up with a scarf to completely wardrobe your outfit!

Just Me :)

Hey all, my name is Ashley & this is my new blog! I am a fitness & fashion-ista. I work in the fashion industry for a high end woman's clothing retailer, assisting women (and men) stay up to date with the current styles and trends. I've done everything from personal shopping, to styling, and revamping closets!

I also am a Beachbody Coach, being that part of my job is to stay current with the fashion trends, it is imperative that I fit in them; therefore, being a coach allows me to focus on my fitness and nutrition. The best part about being a coach is that I get to help others do the same! :) We use one another as motivational support to stay on track with meeting our goals!

When I am not at the gym or styling, you can find me hanging out with my beloved yorkie, Penny Lane. I'm a  music guru loving everything from Louis Armstrong to Lil wayne. I love attending concerts of all genres of music. I enjoy traveling, although I dont travel as often as I would like. There are several places on the bucket list that I WILL be attending, just a matter of time! I live to laugh- therefore if you're a comedian, lets get to know one another!

Overall, I love working and meeting new people. If you are interested in help or advise with fashion or fitness feel free to reach out ashleymstansfield@yahoo.com
