GIRL MEETS BIKE: A LOVE STORY ASHLEY’S ALL-TIME FAVORITE CHRISTMAS GIFT
Strolling into BLF lawyer Ashley’s garage is a bit like walking into a gym. Over the last six months, she’s stocked the space with free weights, resistance bands, and all kinds of other fitness paraphernalia. The pandemic kick-started the process, but it was really inspired by one special piece of equipment: her Peloton bike. “My husband got it for me as a Christmas gift in 2018, and it was delivered in Jan. 2019, almost two years ago now,” Ashley explains. “It’s a stationary cycling bike, but it also has strength training, bootcamps, running, Pilates, yoga, and meditation. Any type of workout you can imagine is available through the bike and the app.” Peloton made a lot of headlines last year, but Ashley was a fan long before its controversial ad came out. As an avid cyclist, she says the bike was the perfect gift for her, but she really doubled down on using it in August of 2019 when her father passed away.
“It was my way of taking some time for myself,” she says. Once she started using the bike more regularly, Ashley truly fell in love with everything its programs have to offer. In fact, she’s the first to admit she might be a little obsessed. “I use it as my way to escape and get myself feeling better mentally,
After the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Ashley started cycling on her Peloton every day and got more invested in the sport. She’s done about 400 rides and 200 strength training classes on the bike now and says she’s in the best shape of her life. If you’re on the hunt for a Christmas gift (even for yourself), the Peloton could be a game- changer.
“People always say the Peloton is too expensive,
physically, and emotionally,” Ashley says. “All of the instructors are awesome, and it’s like one big family. I’ve gotten more and more into the community since I got the bike. I keep up with the news and other stuff they put out on social media, and I’m following the instructors personally.”
but it actually cost less than what I was paying to go to 24 Hour Fitness in my neighborhood,” Ashley says. If you want to give the idea a spin, Ashley is happy to share her experience and even her discount code! You can email her to talk cycling at Ashley@ ButtonLawFirm.com.
GET COOKINGWITH OUR TEAM! ‘FLAVOR OF LAW’ IS HEADING TO YOUR MAILBOX
Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to seat every one of our clients and friends around a giant Thanksgiving table this year. There’s social distancing to consider for one thing, and then we’d need to find a table big enough! After we gave up on that idea, we realized we could do one thing to help you celebrate the holiday: send the makings of a delicious feast to your doorstep. With that in mind, our team put together “Flavor of Law,” a cookbook packed with homemade recipes from everyone in our little family. In addition to appetizers, main dishes, sides, and desserts from our team, you’ll also find anecdotes and family photos scattered across the pages. “I started collecting everyone’s recipes and putting it together, and it’s been fun!” Ashley says. “Everyone had to come up with something they would normally cook. It turned out to be a nice little representation of who we are, and every recipe has its own personality depending on who submitted it.” Ashley admits that she isn’t much of a cook, so she’s sharing her husband’s mac and cheese recipe and her Cuban grandmother’s black beans and rice. For his part, Russell contributed recipes for two classics: roast and green bean casserole.
“We consider our referring attorneys, clients, and other contacts to be family,” Russell explains. “Even though we can’t do Thanksgiving with everybody, we wanted to do more than an email or a postcard. Ashley and Tiffany really took the cookbook idea and ran with it!”
If you haven’t already gotten your copy of “Flavor of
Law” in the mail, it should arrive any day now! You can also expect a digital version in your email inbox. Once you’ve flipped through the cookbook, check our Facebook page (Facebook. com/ButtonLawFirm) for details on a fun Thanksgiving contest that goes with it. It’s a tasty challenge you won’t want to miss.
From our family to yours, have a happy Thanksgiving and happy cooking!
