Cyber Week is honestly one of the most overwhelming weeks when it comes to sales, so I'm making it easy and sharing the places I shop and a few things currently in my cart.  For clothing, I have this striped sweater and this pink feather dress (this feels a little out of my norm but love with silver heels for a party  in my cart. I also bought the kids these Magnatiles, they are obsessed. I also have these pink wine glasses on my wishlist. If you need a hostess gift, get the Hotel Lobby Candle in Holiday — the absolute best candle and no headaches. What are you shopping for? xx Ashley ...

Everything You Need to Organize Your House

Alright, you guys, this is a post I've been meaning to write for a while now and I'm happy to finally launch. Whenever I share my makeup drawers, vanity, or pantry, I get some questions about what I use to organize. Truth be told, we're not organized 24/7 (honestly who is?) but for the most part, I like to keep things tidy. For us, it's all about getting products that make organizing easier aka having a spot for everything. ...

I Tried 10 White Button-Downs and These Were My Top 3

Like many of you, my closet consists mostly of wardrobe staples. And a white button-down is pretty much the key element of any well-curated closet. I've recently learned that not all button-down shirts are the same. And in my effort to find the "perfect" shirt, I decided to test out 10 different styles, brands and sizes, in hopes to narrow it down to my top choice. I tried shirts from Equipment, Everlane, Banana Republic, Target, Madewell and Old Navy, just to name a few. I was surprised at which one I ended up loving the most! ...

Helpful Graphics to Share With Your White Friends and Family About Racism, Privilege and Equality

Source: @ohhappydani Something I've learned over the last few weeks is that one of the main reasons white people, myself included, do not like to talk about racism, privilege and equality with our friends, family and peers is because it's uncomfortable. And a message I've really taken away from the Black community recently is that if we ever want to help create change, we have to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. ...

Since I know the trend can be intimidating and a bit tricky to navigate, I wanted to find the absolute best options. Depending on if you're pregnant and want something comfy, aren't looking to spend much, or want a top-rated flattering pick, there should be a good option here. ...

3 Ways to Style Black Denim Shorts

If you guys can't tell, I'm still on the longer-hem denim shorts kick. They're seriously the shorts I've been waiting for my entire life (dramatic, but you know what I mean) and they're versatile which I love. I ordered these black Paige shorts (budget style here and here) when researching for this post and I've been obsessed. They are definitely longer than my usual shorts but again, I love the style and that they provide more coverage while still feeling on-trend. I've thrown them on for walks with George, for coffee runs with Austin, and even for a couple of work meetings where I needed to look pulled together. ...

10 Low-Carb Snack Options We Keep In The House

If you follow me on Instagram Stories or are in my private Facebook Group (request to join and I'll accept you!), you know I've been pretty open about our F-Factor journey and what Austin and I have done to lose weight and make healthier choices. Our goal this year was to shed a few extra pounds and actually stick with this as a lifestyle. A lot of you have requested "grab and go" snacks that would support a low-carb/high fiber diet, so I wanted to share what we keep on hand.  ...
