An about me is supposed to go here.. okay. Well…
My Name Is Ashley Tamarra. Most people know me as Ashley, but the ones I really rock with call me Ash. Pleased to meet you.
‘About me’ in a nutshell… I’m a 37 year single mother of two. (21 and 5 currently… chile ) 7 year old entrepreneur (*talks to self* entrepreneur for 7 years?? Woah) who’s always had a ‘spark’ about herself. Always trendy, always fashionable, always cool as a feather, funny, and uniquely pretty. Lowkey, gorgeous. I think somewhere in the back of people’s head I was/am that girl. Heavy on the back for me, I don’t give myself too much credit. And I never will.
Anyway…
Lately I’ve been half reading the Atomic Habits book by James Clear. I really need to get in the habit of getting in the habit to read, because personal development is key right now… then it’s lord I need to get this money… to wow, I’m a single mom at 38… and single is SINGLE.
This is the first time in my life I’ve practiced celibacy, self care, and loving me.
This is my first time truly feeling what unconditional love is.
To keep it real (I always will) lately I’ve been crying a lot… like, I don’t ever cry this much.
I curse my friends out in the name of love and truth, and talk on the phone less and less and watch even less television. Speaking of friends, my two faves are Libras.. one is a male and the other a female. Lord. Help. Me lol. I’m an Aries in case anyone cares.
I’m going through these beautiful changes in life and it feels good, but it’s scary as fuck.
That is as much ‘about me’ I’m willing to share right now, because baby it gets DEEP.
Lately, I’ve been personally investing more into being a ‘Fashion Blogger and YouTuber’. Long story short I’m identifying with who I want to be. Hence my little but enough knowledge of Atomic Habits are somewhat working. Note to self: keep reading the darn book.
I started Eat n’ Bougie because I’m always eating, always fresh to death, and I’m ghetto but bougie as hell. I’m a mess but have my stuff together, somewhat. At this point I have the understanding that to create a masterpiece is to start with a mess. This was an idea that brewed during a brisk walk in Seattle, Wa. Thinking… I should show someone what I’m doing out here. Fast forward, here we are.
That’s what Eat n’ Bougie is all about…. my life, fashionable AF, eating, and being bougie. Fashion, food, and lifestyle to sum it up. My purpose is to give it to you as beautifully and as ‘me’ as I can.
Food. Sometimes I’m fasting, sometimes I’m vegan pecscetarian, it just depends on where I am in life. Either way I’m finding the best eats. You can guarantee to see some good food here. Fashion. I’m a shopaholic. There I wrote it. If I see it and like it I buy it. This is not limited to the thrift store all the way to Prada dot com. To know me is to know… I’m going put that ish on. Lifestyle. I heavily invest in self care and self love. I love my plants. I strongly support black and women owned business. Lowkey love interior design, art is next to air to me, and I take random trips to do the coolest things.
My friends call me a ‘bad b***ch’ so I refer to my lifestyle as the Bad Babe Lifestyle. I’m ready to share it with you.
Enjoy Baddies,
-Ash (Peace, love, and light)
