In a TikTok video, Ashley Garcia thumbs through a fat stack of $20 bills from her boyfriend. She shoves it into her purse, saying, “Look how stuffed my bag was,” before filming exactly how she spent that cash—at Zara purchasing outfits for the boyfriend’s upcoming trip, on coffee, shopping at Sephora, and on food at Trader Joe’s that she would later cook for the two of them.
She ends the day walking her dog with her partner and heading to hot yoga alone. “That’s all I did,” she says with an audible smile. The comments are littered with women who, when not asking for recipes or where she got a pair of shoes, fawn over Garcia’s “dream life.” Garcia, a self-proclaimed “stay-at-home girlfriend,” does not disabuse them of the notion.
