10 Day Challenge

I thought it would be fun to do an ALL ABOUT TARA challenge. That way you get to know a little more about me 

&

Heck I even get to know a little more about myself!

This weekend I went to one of my high school friends beautiful bridal shower and we played this game called, How Well Do You Know The Bride.....well, I only had 3 right!! Blasphemy!! It made me realize maybe I don't know my friends as well as I thought. Or maybe they were just silly questions, yeah we are gonna go with that. HAHA :D I still love you Sash!

DAY 1:  ONE PICUTRE-of yourself!

 Done!

XOXO

{Heart} to {Heart} Friday-Take 2

I LOVE THIS!!!!

I'm currently reading 'The Help' and I was inspired to dedicate my friday post to those who don't believe they matter or that what they do isn't noticed or important.

Do not ever let anyone make you feel less important or less of a person for any reason!!!

It is important that YOU know that!

Always remember that and please never forget...

Our Families are IMPORTANT

Our Friends are IMPRTANT

&

Those we don't even know are IMPORTANT too!

Lets remember to cherish them and show them some love.

Your to do for the day:

Send a message/text/email....heck even write a sticky note and leave it for a co-worker, a friend, a roomie, anyone and tell them how important and awesome they are.

And don't forget to tell them to pass it on!!

Lets spread the LOVE people!!!

It just might make their day.

XOXO

Jumping in Feet First

When I decided to re create my blog a year ago, I did so with the intentions of it being a creative outlet for ME to express my feelings about life, love, and all things Tara!! I never really thought about it being anything more than that. And now that a year has passed, I am realizing what great opportunities a blog can have. And in doing so I have decided that my blog needs some TLC and that I have been slacking, since I obviously only reach out to a handful of people.

I believe I have some great things to say and that my posts can be beneficial to others. When I personally read a blog I become inspired and I want to give that to my readers. I want to put a smile on their face for the day and remind them that this life is beautiful!

I know there are many bloggers out there that want and hope for the same thing when it comes to their own  blog so I hope that in one way or another I will be able to find my "niche" and create something people want to see!

I have a vision of what I want my blog to be and how I want it to grow....I just need to jump in and DO IT!

~ My Goal ~

• To reach a good number of loyal followers because we all know that just because you have 3,000+ followers doesn't mean that they all read or comment on your blog.
• To begin giveaways to promote my artwork
• Open a shop of my very own to sell said artwork
• Make many blogging friends
• Begin having guest posts

I can see this taking off AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPY!!! But I have to do it the right way. So I have been researching a asking fellow bloggers how to do this. It's a process, but I believe it is worth it!

Will you support me with my vision?

What are some things you personally would like to see on my blog?

Email me- taraphillips86@gmail.com I'd love to hear from you!!!

XOXO

A laughing relationship is a happy relationship

This is my best friend!

He's my rock.

Sometimes we....

Check each others teeth....

Take random photos in elevators...

Swim with our clothes on...

&

Make silly faces!!

This is what we do.

And it works for us.

What are some fun silly things you like to do with your boyfriend or husband that remind you how much you love them?

XOXO

{Heart} to {Heart} Friday-Take 1

Last night as I was driving home from work there was the most beautiful sunset and the weather was beyond perfect!!

AND

In that moment, I was reminded

I am thankful for those moments, that make you realize how beautiful this life really is.

I wish I could remember it more often than I do, but I think this sudden weather change here in AZ was a blessing that came at the right time for us all.

And this morning when I got in my car this song came on making my day once again

:)

Let us not forget those we love and the moments that make everything all worth it!

Today, I want you to do something nice for someone. It doesn't have to be big, it could simply be sharing a smile or holding the door for someone behind you.

Any act of kindness or service that gets you out of your comfort zone is what I want you to do!!

XOXO

Tara Ashley
