What do you use for whitening your teeth? How often do you use it? Crest white strips. I typically get one pack every year and space them out and do a few sets a month. I’ve been doing this for about 10 years, and realistically I probably only do a half pack a year these days for maintenance.
Deets on your daily necklaces? Ooh they are Parpala Jewelry: Saint Christophe in 18” + Margaux in 14” - I’ve been wearing both since August. Haven’t taken them off to shower, ocean, pool, etc. Can’t speak highly enough of the brand and the quality of their products! EDP fam gets 15% off with code ASHLEY15.
What’s that one bra you love so much? THIS one from B.Tempted - it’s pretty much the only underwire bra I’ve worn the past 2 yrs, even while pregnant!

DIET + EXERCISE
What’s your diet + exercise routine?
Everything in moderation except wine and pasta. Haha! The last two bring me joy and I will never say no.
We have been doing Home Chef for about 2+ yrs now which has helped us so much with making smart food choices vs ordering in every night. Plus it saves us $ and has expanded Andy’s palate. I could write a novel on why we love it. Use code ASHLEYT100 to get $100 off your next month of boxes.
We’ve also started ordering healthy pantry items from Thrive Market, which means when we snack we aren’t eating crap. EDP fam gets 25% off their first order (and their first month free) from Thrive! .
In one year we went from never having food in our house to always, and that’s helped us in so many ways. Especially me working from home and getting hangry/low energy/ ordering in 2 meals a day, etc.
I rarely drink at home.
I swear by The Studio MDR - it has transformed my body and really made me strong. Good weeks I’m going to Studio MDR Pilates 2-3x per week but lately it’s 1.
I walk every morning a little less than a mile. Sometimes I’ll add in some Boxing, Soulcycle or Barry’s - maybe 1-2x per month total.
Living in LA we are blessed with good weather (most of the time) and we definitely try to stay super active: hiking, bike riding, beach walks, etc.

Where’s your rug from? Both are from RUGS USA. Office Rug in RUST + Living Room Rug
Where do you get your pampas grass? These are my fave from Etsy because they are tall, bushy, and a very cool tone. I’m not a fan of the very yellow/orange pampas grass.
Where are your living room chairs from? You can find those deets on this home decor post.
