February Resolution - Teach Someone To Ski

Obviously I missed January's edition but I made it for February...I taught my boyfriend how to ski! My boyfriend has never been skiing before and my family skis quite often. In order to entice him, I made sure we went down with a whole bunch of friends so we could ski all day and party all night. I even made sure the house we rented had a hot tub so he could relax. It worked!

There were 16 of us who made the trip to the Poconos and it was fantastic. We were all on different ski levels so he did not feel intimidated. Some only learned how to ski the prior year so we tried to keep them all together. I encouraged him to take a lesson to learn the basics. We got there about an hour before the lesson started so I figured I would help him out with learning to put his skis on, falling and getting up, etc. Well he put those skis on and off he went! He is a natural athlete so he picked it up easily. When it was time for the lesson, he already made it down a trail so we decided to skip the lesson and keep on going. I felt like a proud mama watching my child walk for the first time. He really did so good, listened to what I had to say and took some hilarious falls along the way.

It was such a success I even got him to go down a black diamond on the 2nd day! Man we are good. Until next month's adventure...

And It Begins...

The time has come for us to unleash our real beasts. For those of you who actually know us, you will not at all be surprised by the name of this blog. For those of you who don't, we sound more official and poised then we really are. We try hard to project ourselves as the social norm. We dress the part, we look the part, we act the part, only to have one slip of the tongue, some vulgar language escape and people are now blushing when they're around us. Now don't get me wrong, I can country club with the best of them but don't you sometimes wish you could get away with saying whatever you want, whenever you want and not have anyone bat an eye?

This blog will not be all crude and rude so if that's not your style, don't turn away. It's just about speaking your mind and not having someone give you the stinkeye. We plan on keeping up with all things fashion, travel and beauty thrown in with some sex, alcohol and celebrity guilty pleasures. We can please all the Charlotte's and the Samantha's of the world at the same time.

Our goal is to have this blog not only entertain you, but entertain your mother, your sister, your best friend and even your boyfriend. We are two twenty-somethings trying hard to fulfill all of our dreams and we plan on taking you on the ride with us...

With love and pearls,
Ashley
