About BoxofMess
Sounding quite unique and maybe even strange to some at first glance, but once you delve in you will understand just how wonderful Box of M.E.S.S is. Created by then 16 year old high school student-athlete Erin Ashley Simon, as her pandora’s box, with the intent to provide a platform and voice for herself, her classmates and friends to converse about all things pop culture and stuff that interested them most: Music, Entertainment, Sports and Style!
Encouraged by friends, family and fellow blog enthusiasts, and with a lot of hard work and dedication, founder and chief editor, Erin Ashley began the box of mess blog in 2008 as a creative outlet for her to flex her journalistic chops. She always loved telling important stories and writing about things that peeked her interest and made a positive impact in the world. Surprisingly, Erin found an audience who enjoyed reading about what she and her contributing friends had to say and even really liked how they said it.
