Hello! I’m Ashlea, and my blog With Love, Ashlea is my digital niche to finally share my passions, my beauty tips, health & wellness suggestions, fashion inklings, and my advice! This is a place to help girls get through life...whatever stage you’re in. This blog is dedicated to the girls who fear their dreams but go for it anyway. The ones who pave their own paths, dance to the beat of their own drum, aren't afraid of the road less traveled and create their own future. I created this online retail space to help women from all walks of life feel more confident, starting with the mindset they have and the outfit they put on.
I truly believe that my purpose and passion in life is to help uplift others to achieve what they are meant to do on this earth by sharing my insight any way I can. We are all trying to prepare for the future while still trying to be mindful of the present. Working on being the best version of ourselves while still accepting our self for who we really are.
I'm a 26 year old woman, went to university and always knew that I wanted to own my own business. I was raised by strong parents who instilled my reach for the stars mindset. I have also been blessed to be raised by strong women my entire life. My mom, my grandmothers, my aunts, my cousins who are my sisters at heart and my friends. My support system taught me that a woman can be fiercely independent and ambitious, you can be successful in your career and have family values, you can be firm in your beliefs but soft in your delivery. They taught me how to be a fearless women and to hold integrity and how to be a women with success but still remain humble.
My passion grew from this hunger to help women feel as unstoppable as they actually are. I want girls and women everywhere to know that it's okay if you don't have it all figured out, but be confident enough in your dreams and ambitions to know that you will get there. Invest in yourself, invest in your education, invest in your passions and be an unwavering force to be reckoned with! Be proud of the woman you are and are becoming, know that beauty is skin deep and what is most beautiful about you is the way you treat others. Be accepting of what makes you different and express your individuality. Own your ability to be unique, own your culture, own your skin color, own your values and morals. Don't hold back!
The most important take away I want all women and girls to know is that you are powerful, you are worthy and you are valuable. Even if you don't believe in yourself yet, know that you can change the world, and you will. Your dreams are never too big, your timeline is never too short, and you will never be too ready. Move forward with your head held high and a strength that can't be denied. Remember that you can be the success you are looking for. You don't need to marry that CEO, you can be that CEO, or that doctor, or that lawyer, or that surgeon, or even an artist! Shatter that glass ceiling and be the woman you wanted to look up to when you were younger. I hope my sprinkle of opinions and knowledge on this blog is a destination where you can unwind and free your mind. I can't wait to see your success, hear about your passions and watch you move mountains. I believe in you!
