Hope everyone had a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I’m not totally prepared for Black Friday, but as I order holiday gifts online, I’ll be adding it to the list here. So, basically just items that I’m currently using or purchasing for my loved ones!

WHOLEBEING HAPPINESS

If you missed out on all my stories about the course that changed my perspective and greatly helped me in 2020, you can sign up now. We are doing a private zoom discussion group with me, YOU (anyone that takes the course) and the founder, Megan McDonough. Once you sign up, I personally send you your workbook and a note to get you started. This is a very rare discount, but AJ100 gets you $100 0ff, so you can take the course for under $300. It’s a five week course, but you have 10 weeks to complete it at your leisure. The tools you will receive will remain forever. Check out my blog post about it HERE. I think this would make a perfect amazing holiday gift, too. The gift that keeps on giving.

BACK TO BASICS:

HumbleBrands deodorant. 30% off sale. I think it may be their best sale yet. I wrote a whole post about my switch to pure and natural deodorant THAT WORKS SO INCREDIBLY WELL…. ps- the minis make for the cutest stocking stuffers. Your teens and tweens will LOVE keeping them in their purses or backpacks for sports, school, sleepovers. And I keep them in my makeup bag on set.

HOLIDAY WREATH

I could not believe the amount of you that purchased the fall wreath I got (well, it was awesome and only about $22), so I thought I would show you what I bought already for holidays. And the other ones I’m eyeing right now. The first one below (just click on image to go to site) is hanging on my wall now! LOVE it. And it’s 25% off today, so you’ll get it for less than I paid! It is stunning, easy to arrange perfectly and lights up! We just love it. It’s much larger than it looks below. And I know it sounds like I’m making this up, but it’s so much prettier in person, too. I promise! I’m also ordering the solid white one, as I love winter white.


BEST POSSIBLE GIFT FOR KIDDOS/ TEENS/ ANY AGE THAT WANTS TO CREATE:

If you saw my stories, you know how much fun Hayden and I had with the KIWICO crate this week. He was adorable reading the instructions (they make the most kid friendly instructions I’ve ever seen). He was SO proud of himself when we were done. Honestly, I told my girlfriends from HS and my cousins they HAD to get this subscription for their children and tweens. Use code ASHLEY50 for 50% off your first box. And you can just order ONE month if you want. It’s free shipping and UNDER $10. WHY WOULDN’T YOU GET THIS?? Best Christmas gift. They have a Black Friday sale going on- but it is not a better discount AND does not allow for just one month. You have to get the multiple subscription to get discount, so if you just wanna try it, use ASHLEY50.

MASKS MAKS MASKS. BEST STOCKING STUFFER FOR ALL AGES.

My friend Sydne Summer makes the prettiest, my comfortable masks. Many of you have asked where I get my chain I wear often in stories. Well, HERE! Right now, they are 25%off. Too good. I wish I could say I think my mask wearing days are over, but alas, I think they are here for a while. The below are some of my favorite. And I can match with Hayden. Check out her loungewear, too. With the discount, it’s a great buy!!

FEELING MY BEST:

I think I’ve written about Spanx in a handful of posts here. They are not often on sale… but right now, 20% EVERYTHING site wide!! AND FREE SHIPPING. Grab ‘em now.

SEPHORA 50% OFF SALE.

I’ll report back with what I am personally stocking up on, but definitely new foundation! So much is on sale… and from what I can see, free shipping! Take advantage of this SALE.

Sitting down to breakfast with Hayden, but stay tuned, I’ll be back!! Didn’t have time to add photos, but will be doing so.

xoxo

ps- if you are finding awesome deals, let me know!! I am on the search for a very scrumptious ROBE!! And Hayden is asking me to look for POLICE CAR ORNAMENTS. LOL. Yes, I know. hard to find. If you see any- please let me know!

A lot of good stuff here to reference in the future. Hope you guys find it fun and helpful. On a totally different note, if you happen to watch 911 on FOX tonight, you’ll see me! I heard a lot got cut out, sadly, but it’s the nature of the business with a big show like that with many storylines.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

I love you-2.JPG

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I really do. Last night, as Hayden and I snuggled watching a show, I kept counting my many blessings. Each of you are on that list. Truly, there’s a community that’s developed here and I’m so grateful. I feel the support you give each other. That warms my heart when I see you all commenting to each other here and on social media. And of course, I feel the support you give me. Thank you. Thank you. I’ve written little thank you notes before…and my gratitude just keeps growing every day. When dark days have come and I’ve wanted to retreat, you guys pull me back out of my shell and keep me going.

I wanna try to support some of you, too. Let’s do something fun here.

Today is Black Friday and I am all for a great deal so go get ‘em. It’s hard to beat the Amazon deals out there right now. But tomorrow is SHOP SMALL. Do you or someone you know have an Etsy shop, or an online store that we could all access? I want to encourage everyone to shop locally or shop small businesses tomorrow for SHOP SMALL DAY. Many of these business owners started out of necessity, passion or both. I love hearing the stories. It gives our purchases meaning.

Leave the web address in comments so we can all see and I plan on highlighting some! I would love nothing more than to support you and/or your friends!

ps- just had to share something so sweet. My best girlfriends from high school and I try to do a girl’s trip as often as our schedules permit. We have almost done it every year.

This year, we picked Nashville and were so excited. But, life made a dramatic turn on me and I needed to be in LA or multiple reasons. I wanted them to go ahead and not be miss out because of my turn of events. But, they did not.

They all came to LA. And they came bearing gifts. I know, cue my tears. The shirt I’m wearing was one of gifts, which is similar to the wall mural in Austin, Texas, that we love. I’m telling you, my cup runneth over. (Get the shirt that matches the wall HERE— at an Ety store in the spirit of shop small!). And you’ll see a few more tomorrow.

Here’s to lifting each other up!!
