Back today with another 1 Girl, 5 Outfits post. This one has a little bit of a different twist and I think you’re going to love it! Hi everyone! My name is Haley Ashcom and I currently live and work in Washington, D.C as a full-time government employee and part-time travel enthusiast/blogger. Almost two years…
To be totally honest and transparent, I have banned my friends and family from buying me anything. If you saw the state of my office, you’d understand why. I have my dream job (i.e. blogging), that allows me to buy pretty much anything I could ever want AND it comes with this job perk of being sent…
I mostly spent gearing up for the holiday season. This is always the busiest time of year for me work-wise. I know this to be the case, but every year it still seems to sneak up on me. Please know that while this does mean there will be more sponsored content throughout the coming weeks,…
Before we get into this post… I want to ask you guys: WHAT GIFT GUIDES DO YOU WANT TO SEE? I want to really focus my gift guides this year– focusing on quality over quantity and hitting different price points. I have a few ideas, but I want to hear from you guys and make sure…
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, today’s post is all about staying at the Ritz in Paris. It was such an incredible hotel experience that I felt like it deserved its own post… plus I got so many DMs asking about how my stay was because other people were planning their Paris trips. I spent…
I wanted to make sure my entire trip was in one post instead of spreading it out between different posts. As a result, it’s long and photo-heavy. I hope you don’t mind… at the very least, consider this a 20-minute escape from your everyday. Ideally, I wish everyone could have tagged along for the trip…
I personally just wrote a list of things I want (errr, need) to do before the end of the year. Top of the list? Organize and stock our pantry. In my old apartment, I had so many great cabinets and storage space in the kitchen. This apartment’s kitchen is tiny yet surprisingly functional and all…
I’m going to be doing a detailed itinerary of what we did in Paris, but first I thought I’d round up the outfits I packed. Not going to lie here… I did an excellent job of packing the right things. Packing is one of the stressors I have when it comes to traveling. (And it…
Tonight, we turn our clocks back an hour. Even though it makes things pretty dark in the evening, I prefer it just because I find it way easier to get up in the morning when it’s brighter. Plus, gaining an hour is a lot better than losing an hour. I am actually pretty lucky this…
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
