Have you ever felt like you don’t have time to make healthy meals or prep healthy, well-balanced snacks for on the go?😅Life is busy whether you are working from home or at the office and/or busy being a mama plus trying to fit in time at the gym, time for projects, time for your significant other or your parents or friends, and it can be easy to grab fast food or a bag of chips to hold you over, or as your meal.😬

Jenny Craig came into my life this past year and it has been so rewarding for me. I’ve always been kind of infatuated with “diets” and a lot of the time they work..until you go off track and gain it all back because they aren’t sustainable for long term. I’ve always been a healthy weight but seem to gain weight easily, especially as I get older, and no matter what my weight I’ve pretty much always wanted to lose just another five or ten pounds. Whether I was cutting dairy, cutting meat, cutting sugar, cutting carbs, juicing, it always seemed to work for a bit but then the weight would come right back on after my strict habits ended. I needed a better solution. Something that could help me long term.

Jenny Craig has really opened my eyes to see that I can eat a wonderful balance of foods that includes salads and apples and broccoli but also includes cheeseburgers and pasta and chocolate cake, in moderation, and STILL SEE RESULTS. I used to be so strict about not having any pasta or cake that when I did finally have it a few times a year I’d go overboard. And by not allowing myself any of those indulgences I was probably overdoing it in other areas and still eating the same amount of calories in a day but was left feeling unsatisfied.

I truly enjoy the taste of the Jenny Craig meals, snacks and desserts and love how easy Jenny Craig makes it for me to reach my goals. Meals come pre-portioned for me so there’s no guess work and the daily meal plan keeps my nutritional needs and calories on track.

Once a week I meet one on one over the phone with my dedicated coach that provides guidance and feedback and also answers any questions that arise. She helps me order and schedule my next Jenny Craig delivery and swaps out any meals for me that contain items I don’t enjoy (for me, I swap anything with mushrooms😆👋🏻)!

The food that arrives in my orders is either shelf stable or frozen, arriving on dry ice that has always kept my meals frozen solid. I add in a few of my own fresh fruits, vegetables and yogurt otherwise everything I eat for two weeks is in that box! The variety of meals offered is huge and new meals come out frequently to keep it extra fun!

If you’ve ever struggled to stay on track and eat healthy, well-balanced meals I highly recommend looking into the plans offered at Jenny Craig. I have seen first hand how much it can change your life and would be so excited to see it change yours too!

Hey ladies! Mother’s Day is something I have had on my mind for weeks now but always have such a hard time thinking of something for my mom. I mean, what do you get the lady that has everything?🤪You don’t want to be too cliche, or not do enough so I usually end up stumped for weeks.

I recently learned about a new Seattle-based gifting startup that creates reusable gift wrap and digital bands with a custom message for the recipient. This intrigued me so I looked into it more and, along with gorgeous reusable gift wrap, they offer gifting sets that are unique and special.

I was sent The Ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Set and was so impressed with it I had to share it with you guys! This set comes with a hand-poured candle, 3 ultra-hydration facial sheet masks, a jar of gourmet chocolate bites, a reusable Tokki wrap and a reusable Tokki gift tag.

When ordering from Tokki, they wrap, they ship, and you get to customize it with a digital message; so cool!

In addition to the Mother’s Day gift set, Tokki also offers a baby gift set, a candy set, a dish cloth set, a seasoning set and more! The Mother’s Day candle boasts “Here’s to your unconditional love” and other candles are available for purchase on their site as well with quotes such as “Here’s to more.zoom.cocktails.” or “Here’s to everything you taught us”. There is truly something for everyone and the added bonus of a digital message is sure to make your recipient smile!

Did you know that most gift wrap can’t be recycled?! Because I sure didn’t! Most gift wrap is too sparkly, too thin, too laminated or too saturated to recycle. By gifting with Tokki you are not only eliminating the gift wrap packaging and all that goes with it (no tape, no scissors, no messy cleanup after opening!) but also providing a bag that your recipient (or those they pass it along to) can use again and again. Each time the Tokki is reused to wrap a gift, you are growing the gifting chain and Tokki is growing the forest. 1 reuse = 1 tree planted 👏🏻You can even follow the history of the Tokki gift tag to watch it get used over and over again!

Tokki has been so kind to give me a discount code HALEY to share with you guys! Check it out and let me know what you think of their gifting options. I think it is a fabulous, fun gift that your Mom has probably never received before and the digital message along with cute Tokki wrapping is sure to make her smile!

Hey guys! I’ve been getting a lot of messages asking for my discount codes and promo codes for various retailers so I thought it would be helpful to create a blog post listing all of the current ones that way you can refer back when needed and save money! I will try my best to go back and update it by adding new ones and deleting any that expire so that it’s easier for you to shop them. Let me know if there are any particular shops or brands you’d love a code for and I’ll try my best to get an exclusive code for you there!🥰❤️❤️

Hey guys! Hope you are having a fabulous weekend; I can’t believe how quickly February is flying by! I’m eagerly awaiting spring and hope it shows up sooner rather than later because I’m COLD.🥶🤣We are heading to California for a vacation soon and I may not come back.😆If it weren’t for our gorgeous PNW summers I probably wouldn’t but those can’t be beat!

Last week I shared in my Instagram stories about a “Favorite Things Party” I went to with a few friends and I received soooo many DMs saying how fun it sounded and asking for ideas as to what to bring and how to play the “favorite things” game so I’m summing it up here and sharing my favorites for ideas. It was super easy to play and we had so much fun plus you get to go home with a couple awesome items from your friends!

I’m sure there are many ways to play the Favorite Things Party Game but this is the way we played. It’s super simple and doesn’t require much time though you could pause between rounds for snacks/drinks/talking to make it take longer if desired.

Our hostess had everyone write their name on a piece of paper and set the item(s) they brought on a table next to the slip of paper with their name so that everyone would know it was from them (you could also skip this so it’s a secret or wrap the presents so it’s a surprise what is inside)! We then wrote our name again on a second piece of paper and put it in a hat or bowl. Designate someone (or take turns) pulling names out of the hat/bowl and whoever’s name is drawn is the person that gets to go pick their prize from the table. You continue drawing names until everyone’s name has been drawn and had a turn choosing an item, then put all the names back in for round 2. Repeat for round 3. Then everyone went around the room saying why they love the item they brought which was fun to hear!

We had each person bring 3 of the same items and played 3 rounds (everyone went home with 3 items) but you could change that number as well.

Set a dollar limit. You could have each person bring one $30 item. Or 2 $20 items. Or we did 3 $5-10 items. Whatever your preference.

I brought this $5 lipgloss that has been a favorite of mine for years (my favorite color is the creme brûlée but I have it in a few shades).

A few of my under $10 favorites.

In the $10 to $20 range I included my favorite teeth whitening pen, makeup eraser cloth that erases all makeup with only water and cosmetic travel bag that has been such a game changer for me when traveling!

And last but not least, a few items I found that I thought would be perfect for the game if you’re wanting $20 to $60 items!🥰

What do you guys think?! Will you be playing the game? What will you bring? I’m excited to hear about your experiences with this so keep me posted!

As many of you know, I’ve been following my Jenny Craig meal plan since August and I love the meals and my results on the program! But did you know that in November I took a DNA test to optimize my results by structuring a meal plan based around my genetics?! Well I did and now I’m spilling all of the details about it.

In November I was sent a Jenny Craig DNA Decoder Kit and performed the cheek swabs necessary to determine my genetics (it was super easy)! I then sent the swabs off to the lab in their pre-addressed envelope for testing and eagerly awaited my results.

The Jenny Craig DNA Decoder Plan includes this genetic testing which provides insight into 15 weight loss specific areas such as how your body processes food, how it responds to exercise, and if your sleep patterns could be affecting your weight loss efforts.

​I found the results of the DNA testing so interesting and helpful. I was then provided with a specific meal plan tailored to my DNA results. My plan best suits my genetic needs and then in turn provides optimal results.

Based on my DNA results, I was placed on their balanced menu option. Jenny Craig also has a reduced-fat menu and a reduced-carbohydrate menu for those whose results show that will be best suited for them.

My DNA results also provided me with an actionable report with information like what types of exercises may benefit my weight loss efforts most based on my genetic makeup that I found super interesting. They even included inspirational tips to help me get started!

You’ve all probably heard me rave on and on about the food already but I feel that it’s such a huge determining factor of an individual’s success at any meal program so I’ll say it again; I LOVE the food! It tastes GOOD!!🤤I find the meals and snacks satisfying and delicious and as a busy mama I sure appreciate how quick and easy they are. I used to eliminate items like pasta and burgers from my diet altogether but I love that Jenny Craig provides me with these savory options frequently and pre-portioned so I know that I’m staying on track (while I feel like I’m indulging)!

Another factor that has been helpful while on the Jenny Craig program has been having a consultant that checks in with me weekly to hear how I’m doing and help me brainstorm ways I could be doing better. Knowing she will call and check in keeps me on track and motivated to succeed.

I’ve been very impressed with how easy Jenny Craig has made it for me to succeed. On this program everything is put right in front of me and all I have to do is simply follow the steps by eating my meals and snacks on schedule. There’s minimal food prep involved and the variety of delicious meals is impressive plus the new DNA Decoder Plan customizes it to the individual even more; a recipe for success! Be sure to check out their program and let me know what you think! I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as I do.🤗

Hi friends! Oh what a year it has been! Thank you for all of your support over the year as I transitioned from boutique owner to blogger. It has been a wonderful transition and I so appreciate your kind words and supportive likes, comments and questions regarding everything I share. I’ve rounded up the Top 10 of 2019 determined by the purchases of the Haley Parker Style community. I found them interesting, I hope you do too! A few surprised me and a few did not surprise me at all; what do you think?!

These are my favorite bracelets! I wear one (or more) or their boho cuffs or wrap bracelets daily. The perfect gift for teachers or any woman in your life!

I also have this hat in leopard print and it has been a huge hit with the HPS community as well. Such a cute way to get away with not doing your hair that day. ;-) The Louis Vuitton patch is authentic!

These top selling shoes are sold in most sizes so I linked a very similar pair from the same brand here! I love how they can be worn with both dressy and casual outfits; I wear mine all the time!

The checkered tote is a dupe of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull and I love the size of it! I use it daily as the bag that I throw everything from snacks to the kids ballet slippers in. I also have this purse organizer in it which helps it hold shape and helps keep my life in order.

We got these for our girls before an airplane trip this summer and they love them! I love that it allows them to play interactive games and learn versus just watching a television show. We also purchased these headphones for them to use with the tablets.

This 4 piece set is a great size for traveling or perfect to purchase and try multiple items before deciding if you’d like to order the full size product. I have been very happy with each of the items and they have lasted me quite a while; I will be ordering in larger sizes soon!

My favorite eyeshadow palette for YEARS. Love the mix of matte and shimmery options. Lasts a long time!

Many of you know I used to sell these Doublehood sweatshirts when I still had a boutique and they were my top selling item! Great quality, lots of color and print options and so cute! Highly recommend.

These sneakers are so comfortable! I’ve had this pair for nearly 3 years and still keep going back to them.

I wear these ALL.THE.TIME. Most of you already know that though! ;-) They are so flattering, thick (hides cellulite), and so cute! They also come in moto, quilted, camo, leopard and more! I wear a size medium and find them true to size but if between sizes, size up! I’ve had this pair for over a year, wear them a bunch and they still look great. I love how I can dress them up with heels and a dress, casually with booties and a tunic or dress them down with sneakers and a graphic tee. A closet staple for sure.

Hope you are having a fabulous, relaxing weekend with your family! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions on the above items. I personally own and love all of them.

It can be hard to decide on gifts for children during the holiday season. With more options than anyone could possibly want it can be difficult to filter through the best products so I wanted to share one of our favorites with you!

I was introduced to, and got my girls, Kind Culture Dolls a few years ago and they have been a fun piece my girls keep going back to. Kind Culture Co. was founded by two moms, Victoria and Jackie, with a mission to empower and inspire children to create a kinder world. Each purchase from Kind Culture Co. directly benefits a child in need and I love this plus I love the conversation it opens up for discussion between my children and I.

​“At Kind Culture Company we firmly believe that the best way to raise children with values such as kindness, love, and gratitude, is to exemplify these values ourselves. That's why we have dedicated ourselves to creating a business that gives back and does good.” via the Kind Culture Company website

Kind Culture Co. was so sweet to gift each of my girls another of their dolls to add to their collection. Emma chose The Peace Doll (above, left) which comes with tokens for children to give out as random acts of kindness. She is soft, huggable and comes with both a naming certificate and the kindness kit. Brooke chose Belle The (Purple) Good Deed Fairy. She comes with a tiny bag of 10 purple scrolls for your child to write down their good deeds.

As a mom myself, I am happy to share that Kind Culture Co. dolls are a fun, loving, beautifully made gift that any young girl is sure to adore. They would make such a sweet gift for Christmas, birthdays, baby showers and more. You can visit their website here and follow them on Instagram here.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, I know that if you’re anything like me, Christmas gifts are on your mind! I always try to gift thoughtful items that the recipient will enjoy and use and that can be tough to find or even think of! I’ve created these gift guides to help you when searching for the perfect gift for your husband, mom, dad, friends, grandparents, children, siblings, boyfriend and more in hopes that they make your holiday shopping easier. My tip: shop now so that you aren’t biting your nails anxiously awaiting the packages to arrive at the last minute; mail delivery services will be so incredibly busy over the next month and you don’t want to risk it coming too late to gift!

Click any of the images below to easily shop the items pictured and more in that category!

We all have that person in our life that seems to have everything don’t we?! Whether it’s your mom, sister or in laws here is a roundup of Gifts for the Person that has Everything.

This selection of Gifts for the Outdoor Enthusiast would work great as stocking stuffer or under the tree gifts! If you know anyone that loves hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing or anything else outdoors these are sure to be well received and used frequently in their adventures.

Many of you told me your boyfriend or husband was the most difficult person for you to buy for so I decided to add this gift guides into the mix. Fun, thoughtful gifts for your husband or boyfriend. These kits like mancrates or the hot sauce making kit are all unique gifts for men that they are sure to enjoy (would be great for your dad or father-in-law too). Classic gift items such as watches and wallets are sure to be appreciated as well as anything customized such as a keychain. If your guy is anything like my hubby he can always use a pair of new Adidas sneakers and a massager is another practical but popular piece.

My brother recently purchased a home and it got me thinking about all of the people that have purchased homes over the last year. There are so many things needed/useful that homeowners would enjoy but don’t necessarily spend the money on, especially if they are first time homebuyers purchasing many items at once for the first time, so I rounded up a Gift Guide for the New Homeowner encompassing such items. The knife block set in white and the Barefoot Dreams blanket are on my wishlist!

The hottest items for the techie on your list! Whether it’s your spouse, sibling, child, babysitter, or anyone in between these are sure to be a hit and something fun for the recipient to play with over the holidays, no matter their age! ;-)

If you have someone that’s hard to buy gifts for but has a favorite sports team, you’re in luck! Teams like the Seattle Seahawks have everything from beanies and sweatshirts to Pillow Pets and camping chairs designed after them! Many of the items linked above come in different designs for other NFL/sports teams as well so if the Seahawks aren’t the team you’re looking for (though I recommend them ;-) ) you can still click the links and shop your/your gift recipient’s team!

I received a lot of responses from my question in stories regarding who is the hardest to shop for and quite a few people said they have a hard time knowing what to get a new baby! Although babies don’t need much it’s fun to gift them adorable items that they (and their parents) will enjoy so I’ve included this list of favorites. These would also work as great gifts for the new mama or expecting mama to be.

I hope these gift ideas have been helpful for you and make your shopping easier! I have so much fun shopping for my loved ones and hope you are excited to gift these to yours too! If you have any questions or need a more specific gift idea feel free to message me on Instagram and I’d be happy to see what I can find for you! :-)
