I’ve been known to be a tad bit spontaneous, even when I can’t afford to be. Like the Thursday night when I came home, got a message from Nora about New Years Eve and suddenly found myself with a plane ticket to San Francisco. Of course it didn’t quite evolve that way and I really [...]
I’ve been a little MIA this week and have barely had time to myself, let alone time to spend writing a post. I’m waiting for some bean soup to cool that my mom made for me before putting it in the freezer so I thought I’d write a short little blog post to update you [...]
I’ve never been more excited for fall than I have this year. Cooler weather, changing leaves, pumpkins and root vegetables, warm spices, soups, rich colors, cute fall sweaters, boots, scarves and light fall jackets. Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons but it has always been followed up by a New England winter [...]
I love books. There’s something about opening a new book, smelling those pages and reading everything put between the covers. This is why I’ve had such a hard time converting over to the belief that these Kindle and other types of e-readers are a good method of reading. Yes, it would be handy for traveling [...]
August 17, 2009 is the day that I left for Europe and completely upended my entire life. I had quit my job, subletted my apartment and sold my things so I could take on a life of spontaneity, a life of up-in-the-air. It’s been a wonderful year. Looking over pictures to put in my vlog [...]
It’s Friday the 13th! Which means absolutely nothing to me since I’m not superstitious (Nope. Not at all!) and nothing bad has ever happened on Friday the 13ths. At least not for me! There is something special about August 13th for me. Or at least August 14th. Tomorrow will mark the one year anniversary of [...]
I know today is Thursday but there was a good topic on Tuesday for VEDA so I decided to delay Travel Vlog Tuesday to today. I mean, Thursday starts with a T right? First things first, VEDA has now infiltrated my DREAMS. I had a dream that involved Ashley (@writetoreach), Ashley (@AshleyD), Nico (@Nicopolitan) and [...]
Oh, Europe. How I miss you. One of the best things I started doing midway through my trip was taking videos. I wish I had done more of that while in other countries but I’m glad I got started in Amsterdam and continued through Spain, Morocco and Paris. I have these wonderful little snippets of [...]
Today is the first edition of Travel Vlog Tuesday, a brand new feature here at Ashalah. You ask me questions about travel (or moving) and I answer them via video (or email, or post). I am taking a small break from VEDA’s topics to do this, but am still vlogging so it counts right? Today’s [...]
I have a closet full of shoes that I can wear on most any occasion. I think every girl should have at least a few pairs of heels, at least one pair of running/hiking shoes, a nice pair of flats and at least one ridiculous pair of shoes that you just had to have, even [...]
