In this post, I’m going to share all the exciting updates, including how I’m documenting my morning routine and getting ready to share it with all of you, my latest journey on YouTube and TikTok, and how I’m finding ways to make fashion more affordable while still staying true to my style.

Perfecting My Morning Routine: My Highlight of 2025 (thus far)
Okay, so I have to share one of my biggest wins of 2025 so far… I’ve perfected my morning routine! 🎉 I know it sounds a little silly, but seriously, it’s been such a game-changer for me. There’s something about starting my day off right that sets the tone for everything else, and after a lot of trial and error, I think I’ve finally cracked the code. SCORE!
I’ve actually been documenting the whole process—what’s been working, what hasn’t, and how I’m managing to make mornings a little less chaotic. It’s been super fun, and I can’t wait to share it all with you. Make sure to follow along on YouTube and TikTok to get a sneak peek into my mornings.
And here’s the best part: I’ll be doing a full blog post on my morning routine coming soon! If you’ve been around for a while you might remember my post about How To Create A Cozy Morning Routine. This still holds true as well, I’ve just made some updates 🥳.
Disclaimer: I just need to stick to it for a little while longer before I endorse it to the public, but I’m so excited to share the details with you. Stay tuned! 🙌
YouTube Journey: Nearly 100 Videos! 📹
First things first, I’m SO excited to share that I’m getting ready to post my 100th video on my YouTube channel! I can’t believe how far I’ve come since starting this journey. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my channel at @haleyhthomas. With nearly 600 subscribers (thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you!), I’d love for you to be one of them!
Over on my channel, I’m all about the vibes. I share a mix of lifestyle and comedy content with a little bit of everything thrown in. Whether I’m showing you a typical day in my life, sharing tips and tricks, or just goofing around with my two Golden Retrievers, Reilly and Rory—who, let’s be real, are the real stars of the show—it’s all about having fun and keeping things real.
I’ve had a blast creating content, and I can’t wait to keep sharing more of my everyday adventures with you. It’s honestly so much fun, and I’m loving every minute of it! Check out my channel and get ready for my second long-form video dropping soon!

Leaning Into My Personal Style (and Dealing with Life’s Expenses)
Let’s talk about something else that’s been on my mind a lot lately: personal style. 2025 has me really wanting to lean into my own style more than ever before. But here’s the thing… have you noticed how expensive life has gotten lately? 🙄 I mean, I’m all for finding cute clothes that make me feel good, but prices these days are… well, let’s just say they’re not exactly budget-friendly.
I LOVE a good deal, so it’s been a bit of a struggle finding that balance between cute clothes and sticking to a budget. But no worries—I’ve done the hard work for you! 🎉 I’ve been shopping on Amazon like crazy, and honestly, I’ve found some pretty good stuff. It’s not always easy to find high-quality items on a budget, but I’ve curated a collection of my recent finds that I’m loving. If you’re looking to revamp your wardrobe without breaking the bank, you definitely want to check out my Amazon Storefront for some affordable and stylish pieces.
And if you’re looking for even more outfit inspo, I’ve been posting daily outfits over on LTK (formally known as LIKEtoKNOW.it). I’m posting my Outfit of the Day almost every day (which, by the way, means I actually got out of my PJs that day 😅). I’m sharing looks that feel like me, and you can shop them directly from the app! I love that I can help you all find pieces that fit your style, and honestly, it’s been fun to see how my style is evolving this year.

Pinterest: A New Source of Inspiration for Style, Home, and Cooking! 📌
Have you been on Pinterest lately? I’ve been spending SO much time on it, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer for me in 2025. Not only has it been a huge help in curating outfits that truly reflect my personal style, but it’s also been giving me tons of inspiration for home remodeling and cooking!
Whether I’m dreaming up a new look for my wardrobe or saving ideas for future home projects, Pinterest has been my go-to for ideas and creativity. I’ve been pinning like crazy, and I’m really loving how it’s helping me feel more “me” in all aspects of my life.

TikTok: Joining the Fun and Building My Community!
Okay, so here’s something I’m super excited about—TikTok! I recently started posting consistently on TikTok, and I’m already up to nearly 3k followers! 🎉 Now, I know that might be small in the grand scheme of things, but just like YouTube, I’m having so much fun building my own little community there. It’s been such an awesome space to share more lifestyle content, my GRWM (Get Ready With Me) moments, workouts, and of course, dog content—and when I say “a lot of dog content,” I mean a lot!
TikTok has been a great way to connect with even more people and share bits of my day-to-day life in a super fun way. I love how interactive and casual the platform feels—it really helps me connect with all of you, and I can’t wait to keep growing my little corner of the TikTok world!
In Conclusion…
So, that’s what I’ve been up to lately! From posting on YouTube to discovering my personal style, and even getting inspired by Pinterest for my home and cooking, 2025 is shaping up to be a really exciting year. I can’t wait to see where it takes me and share even more with you along the way.
