Fun Fact: In a past life — in reality, about five years ago — I actually loved to write piano and orchestral compositions! 

I’ve been playing piano since age 10 and violin since age 11. Say hello to my best childhood friend Alice (pictured), my beautiful violin from Bearden Violin Shop in St. Louis that I have had since starting orchestra in the 6th grade and have performed with all the way up through college when I was a violinist in the University Philharmonic Orchestra at Mizzou in 2016 and 2017. 

Being a lover of mystery, romance, and drama (I am a YA thriller author – remember?), a lot of my compositions are pretty dark…eerie…ominous…much like my novel. 

Check out my published pieces that are for sell on Sheet Music Plus and if you love them, leave me a review on their website:

For the past three months I’ve literally become For the past three months I’ve literally become so OBSESSED with the Peloton that I had to blog about it as the best at-home workout. 🤪 @onepeloton seriously has me addicted to working out, like I have NEVER been willing to exercise more than once a day or more than an hour at a time until I discovered this magical bike, and I’ve officially hit 50+ rides since October!

Head to the link in my bio to read my newest post “A Fun Workout Class You’ll Become Totally Obsessed With: The Peloton Bike” that includes...

 🚲 All the iconic and personable trainers you never knew you needed (including my all-time favorite baddie @fitxkendall who slays me in shape every single day and pushes me so hard in her metal and punk rock rides to break my own records! And my other favorites SO FAR ➡️ @robinnyc @codyrigsby @alextoussaint25 @milamariana)

🚲 My favorite playlists (with everything from metal, to club bangers, hip hop and pop, throwbacks, and artist highlights like @linkinpark and @badbunnypr)

🚲 Thousands of classes to give riders so much variety

🚲 Plus my experience of actually getting way stronger, unlike typical cardio workouts

Grab a Peloton or a find a new apartment building with a Peloton (like I did on accident when I moved to Chicago) and add me as a friend @ Ashlea777 😝

Happy riding!

You will never catch me without a carb 🍔🍽️ You will never catch me without a carb 🍔🍽️ I exaggerate for effect LOL — I'm no stranger to a carb-less meal but completely cutting them out? No, thank you.

It’s the first week of the year which means not only are a lot of people crowding the gyms but they're trying out new "diets." One in particular I’ve been hearing about a lot is the Keto Diet and using it for weight loss, so I decided to do some of my own research and share my findings about Keto, how it works, and also some of the downsides most people don’t understand before actually trying it. 

✨ Check out my new blog, “Weight Loss & Keto - What They Don't Tell You About This Low-Carb Diet”

For me, the key to eating healthy (and enjoying life) is all about balance, and the BEST way to approach weight loss in general is simply being calorie deficit combined with being somewhat active. So I’m not a fan of this diet or its harsh restrictions, which a lot of people are finding isn't very sustainable or realistic and has even been said to make them sick. 

But I’m curious though — have you tried the Keto Diet and found that it actually worked with lasting results?? And if it did work, what happened when you finally reached your goal and stopped using the diet plan altogether? Let me know in the comments below. 👇🏽
