Most of my closest friends live in different cities than I do. One of my longtime besties lives in Los Angeles and every time we get on the phone, we both just start listing out the things that we have been obsessed with. It’s usually anything that deals with making our lives just a little bit easier, skincare, weight-loss/fitness, time management tips and mom hacks. So, I thought I would do the same for you today. Give you a list of the things that currently have my attention because I haven’t done a post like this in a while.
Alice & Olivia Dia Cropped Sweater. In Houston, we recently had a city wide sale happening for charity. Lots of stores participated in the 20% off for holiday shopping and I noticed Alice & Olivia on the list. Let me just start by saying this designer makes clothes that fit women well and make them look fabulous so naturally, when I saw them on the holiday sale list I had to go by. I grabbed a few things but this perfectly peachy pink cropped sweater is my current obsession. I wear it almost every day. The pink is a pink that flatters everybody and it fits really well for an hourglass shaped person but hides tummy imperfections, if you moms know what I mean.
Amazonite bracelet from Love Ashlina Jewelry. I recently got my jewelry website back up because the orders on instagram were sucking the life out of me. Thank goodness it has helped so much. Anyway, the stress of the election, Mercury Rx and just all the things has been incredibly tense the past month or so. I knew I had to start wearing more Amazonite because it is the crystal of calming the emotions and soothing anxiety. I am obsessed. I wear it daily along with this moonstone.
L’oreal Voluminous Superstar Waterproof Mascara. Omg. This mascara is amazing. First of all, I am all about wearing the mascara primer, it really helps the lashes to lift up. So, I tried this one while traveling because I wanted a 2 in 1 mascara/primer combo to save space in my makeup bag and even though I have a few $30 high end mascaras, this one is my go-to. Something about how it lifts and curls the lash is just different. I wear the washable blackest black.
Globe Electric Mushroom Lamp. My girlfriend Allison is moving to Paris and was hosting a garage sale of sorts. I snagged these gold/brass mushroom lamps for my office because they were exactly what I was looking for and I am in love. They each have 2 lightbulbs which means really good lighting for the room they are in (which I use in my jewelry studio). All I have to say is that if you are looking for some chic modern lamps, these are awesome. And they come in rose gold too.
Leichtrum A5 dotted notebook in berry. We all know my obsession with bullet journaling. I’ve actually found myself writing slower because I am running out of space in my current journal. The other day I was at the art store and saw this berry colored notebook and it stopped me in my tracks. I snagged this one for 2021 and I could not be more obsessed with it. I may even have to start it sooner.
T3 Single Pass 1 1/2” Curling Iron. So, I have been recording lots of videos for the House of Bliss and Soul Aligned (my new 21 day video course) and so I decided to splurge on this and start learning how to curl my hair. It’s so pretty to look at, it actually makes me want to get up and make some effort on my hair.
Adidas Silver Luxe Running Shoe. I’ve been working out with my trainer consistently for 3 months and I have been so proud of myself for the commitment. As a treat, I wanted to get some shoes and I am obsessed with these Luxe Silver Running Shoes. They are so sleek and pretty. I am so excited about these.
Arbonne Ginsing Energy sticks, Strawberry. I started using Arbonne supplements when I learned about my leaky gut situation (maybe ill do a post on this soon). I made the decision to quit coffee for 30 days to see how my body would react and these energy sticks literally changed my life. I actually started using these at the start of the year and I have 2 every single day. One in the AM and One in the afternoon around that 2:30 mid day slump. They give me the boost of energy I need with a little fun, fizz and flavor. I add my grapefruit Lacroix for an added sparkle and I am obsessed. I also add a digestion pack to it in the AM. And for the first time probably ever in my life, I am not bloated everyday. More on that in another post but honestly. I love these too much not to share. (I also signed up as a distributor, so I do make $$ if you buy these using my link but no pressure. I truly am just sharing what I LOVE!) Side Note: On mornings when I workout with my trainer - i drink this pink drink when I don’t drink coffee)
Dr. Teals Cannabis Sativa Bath Salts. OMG. This is just divine. My girlfriend Cara introduced me to this because we both are bubble bath-a-holics. This is totally not what you think, at first I was apprehensive about the smell but it smells so beautifully in my bath it feels like spa. It’s a must try.
I hope you find this fun list to be helpful and inspirational. I always love sharing my current obsessions with my girlfriends. Feel free to leave me a comment below and let me know what you are obsessed with. I always love to try new heavenly things!
Love, Ashlina
