Blue Mercury’s Promo is only going on for a few more days, ends June 8th! Use code: SUMMER at check-out. If you’ve had your eye on anything lately, now’s the time to score it at a discount. Plus, if you spend $250+, you’ll receive an awesome bag with lots of great samples. The items above are many of my ultimate favorites!
These PowerGlow Peel pads are at the top of my faves list! They work so well and make my face feel amazing after I use them. So clean, fresh, my face feels tighter and it’s glowing.
Love everything for Skinceuticals, but CE Ferulic is my absolute favorite! I apply it after I wash my face in the morning and love what all it does to my face. So good! Have been using this for years!
Speaking of Skinceuticals, this Triple Lipid Restore is my favorite night cream. I apply it as my last step and moisturize away!
I normally don’t say something works well unless I give it at least a month of using it, but let me tell y’all, I’ve been taking these HUM gummies for about three weeks now and I can already tell a difference in my hair. These are packed with folic acid, biotin and all sorts of wonderful vitamins. If you’re wanting healthy hair, try these!
This tinted eye brow gel works so well! It takes hardly any time to apply and it’s just subtle enough to fill in the sparse spaces on your eyebrows. I wear the light brown and love it.
I’ve been applying this blush on my cheeks for honestly almost ten years. I’ve never found anything else that compares to the orgasm color. Gives my face a subtle glow.
Just like the blush I mentioned above, this bronzing powder in Golden Light has been my favorite for over ten years. I still use it all over my face as my base powder. Plus, a little goes a long way!
Hands down, there’s nothing better to help repair your hair than Olaplex No. 3! If you don’t believe me, try it for yourself and you’ll never go back to anything else. It’s amazing how well it works. I try and apply it at least once a week to help repair my hair.
I love so many different lip glosses, but this one in Bare Pink gives my lips the subtlest pink color and it stays on so well.
When I started going blonde, this is the only shampoo I used. Helps it in so many ways, plus it smells amazing!
Obsessed with these gel patches! I love putting them on before going out or sometimes I’ll use them in the morning. Anything to help moisturize the under eye area, right? I also love the cucumber ones and the cloud ones. Both all work so well!

I got these pjs in that I shared with y’all last week and I’m in love! I’ve never tried the sleeveless style before, but I love it for summer. The color combo is a major fave! For fit, they’re pretty true to size. I size up to a medium for a looser fit and they do shrink a little in the wash.
Loving this swimsuit I wore on vacay. So flattering! The rear coverage is great and it has padding. Plus, the fabric is a great quality and the straps are adjustable. Runs big. I’m wearing a small.
Some of y’all have asked recently about my favorite bath products. I’m obviously in love with my Molton Brown shower gels. It’s about time for a restock. They’re currently on sale with code: SUMMER.
We went to the New Realm Grand Opening last week and these little Fruity Pebbles treats were delicious! It took the place of Dockery’s on Daniel Island. Loving their Hazy IPA too!
Wore this dress with these wedges. My dress has almost sold out, but it’s still available in a few sizes. Love the fit! True to size. I’m wearing a 4.
We leave for Charlotte today and I can’t wait to see my sisters! We’re heading to one of my nephew’s birthdays today and my sisters and I are throwing another baby shower for my youngest! Can’t wait! Thinking I may wear this dress I got a few weeks ago to one of the parties. Wearing a small. And I may wear this one tomorrow.

Hey Ashley,
So beautiful as always! I LOVE your blog and your family is gorgeous! Quick question…do you keep all the things you showcase on your blog? Just wondering because your weekly purchases equal what I spend in half a year. No judgement, but if you could explain and/or disclose how you do it, that would be great. We actually have a friend that works with Lanier at Merrill; so, I get what is happening there. Also in wild turn of events, my mom and Luck know each other! Small world for sure!
I did go to Charlotte Latin and am a native Charlottean. Will forever love the Queen City as I grew up in Myers Park. Like you, I have a lot of kids, but all boys! They are very close in age as well…14 (twins), 13 (10.5 months later!!!), 11.5, 10.5 (11 months later!) and we are doing this again in 3 weeks…SURPISE triplet boys at 36! Multiples are in the family for sure! 8 boys…SOOOO excited but still shocked!
Thanks, Ashley, for being transparent. Your blog is my go to, and it is gorgeous. The spending is mind boggling, but since this is your business, I get it! I am pretty jelly of your daily sunnies and dresses….especially since I am preggers! I just love that you get where I live, and you always look so pretty. You are one lucky, lucky girl. Thanks in advance for some answers. I think it would be beneficial to me are your loyal CLT readers. We love you!
PS-Watching Wheeler and Effie just warms my heart. They are such lovely young ladies. I love the middle name you chose for Wheeler so touching. One of my upcoming triplets, Pierce, will have a similar story.
Great to hear from you and all the connections we have! I’ve been doing this for over ten years, so all the hard work has its perks! At this point, I’m able to shop many of my favorite brands and get them for free in exchange for sharing it with my readers and followers. It’s fun, but still takes time to shop for the right style, put an outfit together, while also doing everything else at home with four kiddos. Plus, making sure whatever I order fits well and all of that. You’ll notice some weeks I just don’t have time to blog, while others have more time. I’m very lucky with the job I have, but it took a long time for me to get where I am today. It’s hard to explain that to many people, I know because they don’t see it that way. Just looks like I get free stuff all the time or that I spend tons of money on clothes all the time. It’s definitely a job and I rarely get time where I’m not thinking about posting or things I need to post. I also work with companies that pay me a flat fee for posting, while other things I do buy for myself and share. But no, I do not pay for everything you see me wearing. But when I do, I usually receive a commission, but I always compare it to a store…where someone goes in to shop at a store and they don’t expect the person working there (helping them choose clothes to buy and styling them) that they buy everything that’s in the store if that makes sense. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and thanks for reaching out!
