5 Do’s and A Don’t with Ashley

Today is another day of 5 Do’s and A Don’t! 
This week I asked my BFF Ashley to share hers with us. She is one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. She is loyal beyond belief to her friends and someone I refer to as my rock…on more than one occasion. Plus she is not above cleaning up someone’s vomit…nope not mine…Im classy guys. 
Here is Ashley!

Hey y’all! I’m Ashley, and I blog over at Ashley’s Carnival Ride.

Y’all might have seen me around A Complete Waste of Makeup a few times 🙂
I am super excited to be joining in my bff’s 5 Do’s and a Don’t series!
My list is all about Christmas!
DO: Get yourself a new outfit. You have to look cute for all of the pictures!
DO: Decorate your house to fit your style. Be non-traditional if you want. My tree? Purple, pink, and silver!
DO: Give yourself a break and enjoy the holiday food. Calories don’t count on holidays! 🙂
DO: Be nice to the Salvation Army bell-ringers, even when you really want to shove the little bells down their throat.
DO: Spend time with the special people in your life. For me, the most important part of the season is all about having fun with my family and friends.
DON’T: Please, just…don’t.
Thanks for having me, Neely! xoxo

    I hate those damn inflatables. I had a friend in high school and her family’s inflatables were stolen out of their yard. I was secretly so happy hahaha
