In my previous post, I went over the bloggers I like who keep more professional websites that would be a great substitute for a resume. Now I am going to to go over some bloggers who I just enjoy reading when I have a minute to myself.
Dyann Lesnever is probably one of the funniest, friendliest, coolest people I have ever had the privilege of meeting. She also keeps up a pretty cool blog, that I am totally going to plug to you right now. She mentions her job as a radio personality for 99.5 Gainesville Party, but she also has these great tid-bits of inspiration that make you want to strive for your dreams. Check her out, you won't regret it.
Another good friend of mine is Jesse Pagan. His blog rubs me in all the write (lol, I meant right, but I will be "write" there for pun's sake) places because it is about one of my very favorite topics in all the land: movies. I love movies and I could spend hours cuddled up, watching and analyzing movies of all genres. His blog keeps you in the loop about what upcoming movies are about and why you should or shouldn't check them out.
Finally, I have Elizabeth Beisel's blog. She recounts her life as a swimmer and even making it to the Olympics. You can tell by reading her posts how important swimming is to her.
Whose blogs are you always reading?

Checking out fellow bloggers
Blogging is one of the best ways to express yourself, brand yourself, and share your feelings with the world in your own way. Whether you blog about crazy things that happen to you, the kind of foods you like to eat, pop culture, or you keep a website as a portfolio, it is a great way to have all of your writings, pictures, and videos in one place.
One of my favorite bloggers is Rochelle Alleyne. She is a reporter for WUFT and her website is a great example of her keeping track of her work and displaying all of her best packages. You can really get a taste of her style and writing by taking a look at her page.
Now, I am not into sports, but being a UF Gator you are no doubt going to be hearing about basketball and football at the very least. Come football season, the crowds that come from far and wide to tailgate and celebrate UF are amazing. It is crazy to see all the support that our Gators have here. Robert Scheppke and Benjamin Bornstein both report for WUFT's sport's section, so if there were any blogs that I would read to get my fill of sports news, it would be theirs, no doubt.

Ashley's Bio
Hey guys!
I realize that I do have a short about me tab right on the top of my page, but here I have decided to get a little more in depth about who I am and what I love, that being fashion.
I was born in Miami, Florida and lived there until I was in 6th grade. From there, my family and I moved to Fort Lauderdale so that we could be closer to my sister's university. Much of my ideas about fashion and style come from my mom and sister. When I was younger, my mom did not allow me to just sit in my pajamas all day, she would make sure that no more than an hour after I got up that I was fresh, clean, and dressed for company, as we usually had family or friends come to visit randomly and she wanted us to have our best foot forward. Now, it doesn't take me hours to get ready, I am pretty low maintenance as it only takes me (after showering and teeth brushing) about 5-20 minutes to put on make-up (if you read one of my prior blogs, you know that I don't even know how to use a lot of make up), but even if it's just something as little as going to the store to pick up some milk, I take a few minutes to put together a sundress and cardigan or cute shorts and an awesome pair of sandals because you never know who you are going to see.
My style sense came from my sister. I own a few pieces that are really bright and loud, but for the most part, my clothes are earthy, darker colors, with calm patterns. That way it is easier to create a variety of different looks with limited amounts of clothes. If you can't afford to have the world's biggest closet, you biggest friend is to stick to earthy color, solids, and calm patterns because when you re-wear them and style them in different way, it is easier to make it look like an entirely different piece of clothes. Like on one blog I wrote, I could easily re-wear all of those pieces of clothes in different ways because they easily go with a ton of other things. Nothing there is too busy and too crazy to wear multiple times a month. Having a closet like this, is also a huuuge budget saver!
As you know, I am all about the deals. I love finding cute clothes for low prices and some of my favorite places to shop are Sandy's, Plato's, and thrift stores in general. Not much feels better than to put together an amazing outfit from head to toe, and it costs you no more than $15.
On top of clothes, I love accessories and playing around with nail polish. Little do some people know, that sometimes it is the smallest things like a cute belt, earrings, or purse that can put an outfit together. I hope one day to be a on-air correspondent on E! where I get to talk about fashion, style and people's fashion all day. It literally would be a dream come true, so if you know Giuliana Rancic, let her know I say "Hey!"

Bahama Mama part 2
Oh hi there,
As you may have read in my previous post (which you should totally do if you haven't) I recently went on a fantastic cruise to the Bahamas this past week for my Spring Break.
My very favorite part of the trip, besides getting to spend time with my 5 best friends of course, was going to the world-famous Senior Frog's. People travel from all over to go to a Senior Frog's.
There are limited Senior Frog's around the world and it is known for being a bar in which you can truly let loose.
There are a few in the U.S. but in the Bahamas, where the drinking age is 18, you can just image how crazy things get during Spring Break.
However, on top of their amazing drinks, they also serve delicious Mexican food and they have a souvenir shop where you can buy memories to replace the ones that you will be sure to forget.
Next time you go on a vacation, check to see if there is a Frog's where you will be staying. I promise, it will be an experience like no other.

Hey guys!
So, it's around that time for us college kids... Spring Break has either just passed or this week is your Spring Break. Either way, it is pretty much the best week of your entire school year and you wish more than anything that it would last more than just 7 days... more like you wish it was 365 days.
I booked my cruise with Royal Caribbean and I must say, I think I will be cruising with them every single year.
The service was impeccable. I have never been around so many people who seemed to genuinely want to make me happy. Literally, there was a waiter or server or attendant asking if my room was ok, if I needed a drink, or food, or handing me a list of activities to partake in around every corner.
I had never been happier.
Our cruise left from Miami on Monday March 3rd, we were in Nassau the 4th, Coco Cay the 5th, Key West on the 6th, and back in Miami on the 7th. I am not sure I will ever fully disclose what occurred on those days.
To get ready for my trip, I did a bit of shopping, as seen in my previous post. Most of my shopping was done at Sandy's, one of my very favorite places to shop, but I got my bathing suit from Pacsun, and didn't mind paying more for a bigger, more supportive top since I am a bit more... well-endowed than some.
So if your break is over and you're having the Spring Break blues, I know exactly how you feel, if you are in vacation mode right now, or your vacation is coming up, take a shot for me!
