The End of a Quarter-Century, The Start of a New Beginning

Every year for my birthday, I strive to do something life changing — and of course, 25 is no different. So, what better way to begin the next quarter-century of my life than creating a visual representation of my favorite experiences! Hence, this blog was born. 

I truly believe in living life to the fullest and making every minute count. I have a never ending bucket list of things to do, places to explore, and of course, food to devour. Now, I get to share all of this with you! (This means y'all can stop messaging me to use me as your personal yelp, stylist, and travel guide and come here instead, jk) Along with my love for all things food, fashion, and travel — I also have a strong passion for digital marketing, dance and social justice advocacy. 

After years of being told that I should start a blog, I finally got around to designing this and I could not be more excited! Here's a quick rundown of how my blog works:

Ashni Meets World is where all of my favorite travel recommendations will be. Having traveled to 25 countries before the age of 25, I've learned quite a few dos and don'ts along the way that will hopefully come in handy when you're planning your next vacation. You can also check out my favorite pictures from all of my travels on Instagram by looking at #AshniMeetsWorld.

The Style + Beauty section of my blog is for my fashion and style tips. There's nothing I love more than styling and repurposing clothes. It allows me to actually explore my creative side and express myself in a way that represents me. My friends are always asking me where I get my clothes from, so it's time I finally reveal my secret. Stay tuned!

Ashni Eats World, well, that's pretty self explanatory. If you know me AT ALL, you know there's not a single thing I love more than eating good food. And if you don't know me, just remember I'm Queen of Hangry, so keeping me fed is REALLY important. Because of that, I've explored some of the most amazing restaurants in New York City and across the world. You can also see my favorite snapshots at #AshniEatsWorld. 

Lastly, Close to My Heart, is a culmination of my work in the things I'm passionate about: politics, social justice, dance, and digital strategy. Here, you'll be able to watch some of my favorite dance videos, read all of my pieces from Huffington Post and any other publications I've written for, and discover my favorite social media and digital marketing tips!

Thank you for being a part of my journey, truly.
