Name: Ashley & Connor
Age: we were both in the 27 club, but we just celebrated Connors 28th in quarantine, thatâs another story lol.
Title: call us Lord & Lady and blame Medieval Times.
Married/Single: taken, dating each other.
Kids: two furbabies, for now. Georgia (Peach for short) is 2 and Ollie is 6 years young.
City you live in: Scottsdale
A typical day in our life includesâŚ
wait, in quarantine or real life? In real life, Connor wakes up at the crack of dawn. He makes himself a coffee, black, and heads off to work as a Realtor. I usually head out shortly after and 9/10 times stop at a coffee shop for an iced matcha latte. I am a wedding coordinator and I also work at a resort. Thankfully we donât work your typical 9-5 jobs so we get home, walk the pooches, usually have some type of event or collab to head too or weâll go out for HH/grab take out. Then there are a few hours on social media, maybe a movie and some online shopping, and weâre off to bed. That pretty much sums up our days, Monday- Friday, but we definitely like to venture to farmers’ markets, go out for date nights and hang out with friends on weekends if weâre in town. If weâre not, were obviously traveling!
NOW, in quarantine, a typical day (which feels like an eternity) is a total guessing game really. Will we wake up and bake a cake? We have. Will we finish a 1000 piece puzzle? We have. Will we rent an Airbnb to celebrate a friends bday for a few hours (safely of course)? We have. Will we create a tik too? We havenât. But thereâs always tomorrow, so weâre never saying never. We typically try to get out, just to make a quick stop at our local favs #supportlocal and see the sun, but then we head back because #stayhome.
We were bornâŚ
in Phoenix, Arizona and Connor was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan.
Our favorite thing about ArizonaâŚ
is the weather 80% of the time, the cotton candy sunsets and the food scene of course. We have a pretty kick ass (can we say that?) community too! Phoenicians are legit. Weâve met some amazing people, especially in our foodie world. And now, we are only seeing people support each other more and more! In fact, we are actively working with other foodies to raise 75K for 35 local businesses. We have already raised over 11K in just a few days! Check out the link in our Insta bio for more info and to donate!
Weâre listening toâŚ
classics like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday in the mornings because itâs such a vibe. Billie Eilish and Daniel Caesar pretty much all day and Carole Baskin trying to convince us that she didnât kill her husband. Weâve also listened to Joe Exoticâs Tiger King album every now and then, we canât deny that.
Our family isâŚ
mine isCRAZY and huge, wouldnât change them for the world. Connor’s family is amazing, literally the sweetest bunch youâve ever met in your life.
If we could have dinner with anyone, it would beâŚ
Connor says Elon Musk. My reply to him, âIâve heard the name, but I canât place him sorry.â My answer would be Kris Jenner, where I then ask her to adopt me.
One thing we cannot live withoutâŚ
is Connor, oat milk, matcha, my phone, and human interaction. Connor says tacos, our dogs and me. That order is undetermined, lol.
When I was younger, I wanted to beâŚ
honestly, I donât remember, but I feel like dolphin trainer was a contender. Connor says a professional basketball player. Our roommate asked him what happened, he said it just didnât pan out.Â
Weâre inspired byâŚ
others really. People who genuinely share their stories, art, passions with the world.
The one person who motivates me isâŚ
Connor! He encouraged me to start AZsipsters and it became âour thingâ.
If we could change anything in the world, it would beâŚ
perspective. That people see the good in others and themselves and that the only pain in life for everyone is champagne. Am I right?
Our perfect day would beâŚ
Connor answered this one: wake up, go to MY favorite tea place (which is Ruze) and drive to the beach. I say that, but we pit stop at Disneyland.
Our first jobs wereâŚ
babysitting and then I worked for my dad a bit and then I wore/sold ASU t-shirts, LOL. Connorâs is better, he was the mouse at Chucky Cheese. YUP.
Our favorite escapeâŚ
The Fairmont Del Mar in San Diego. Itâs our home away from home.
Our lifeâŚ
isnât perfect but we love it.
Weâre currently working onâŚ
making it through COVID-19 and maybe a blogâŚ
AlwaysâŚ
together.
NeverâŚ
not dancing.
Favorite QuoteâŚ
this isnât my favorite, but it sticks with me… âAll you need is love & cocktails.â PREACH!
Our Biggest DreamâŚ
first comes marriage, then comes a baby in the baby carriage?
Our Pet Peeve(s)âŚ
truck drivers and rude people (which feels like one and the same sometimes, no offense).
