00:00 Hi, I'm Ashley Sanchez of the US Women's National Team
00:02 and Washington Spirit, and these are my essentials.
00:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:07 Always incognito.
00:12 Not that I'm famous or anything, but you just
00:14 got to not let people know what you're up to, ever.
00:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:19 I have a really small head, and I felt like these
00:23 were the only ones that fit.
00:25 So I just got them, and I wear them every day.
00:29 Soon as the sun's out, you got to bring the shades out,
00:31 you know?
00:32 Oh, my gosh.
00:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:36 I feel like when you're just in the sun all day,
00:38 and you put sunscreen on, you don't want to be white.
00:41 You got to get the tinted one, so you still
00:43 got that good little glow going.
00:45 And it doesn't have benzone in it.
00:48 You have to wear sunscreen if you
00:49 want to stay having young skin, especially when
00:52 you're in the sun all day.
00:53 The farmer's tan comes with the profession.
00:56 You know, you could wear a tank, but there's
00:58 not much you can do for that, specifically.
01:01 It's more like the shorts tan.
01:03 Shorts tan is the worst.
01:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:07 My next essential are my Sombas.
01:10 They became very popular very quick.
01:12 But they're a great everyday shoe.
01:16 I feel like they go with everything.
01:17 And they're kind of like little old school shoes,
01:19 so that's what I love about them.
01:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:23 My next essential is my championship ring.
01:27 Well, this is our club's first championship,
01:29 so I feel like it just was a big moment.
01:31 And my first championship with the team.
01:35 Hopefully, we can get another one.
01:37 But yeah, it's just really special.
01:39 It's kind of like the first big thing I ever won,
01:41 so pretty important.
01:42 It says the year on the side, NDB South Championship
01:46 with our logo, the name, and number.
01:50 It actually says a score on the inside.
01:51 I never noticed that before.
01:52 I probably have never worn it before, honestly.
01:55 But it's still really cool to have.
01:57 But I keep it at home in a box.
01:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:01 My next essential is my mini iPad.
02:03 Romance books only, obviously.
02:05 Come on.
02:06 Let's see what I got on here, actually.
02:07 Let's see what the last one I finished was.
02:10 Oh, Mia Sheridan, Archer's Voice.
02:14 Great book.
02:16 You know, it's very versatile.
02:17 It's really whatever you want it to be.
02:19 And it's very handy.
02:20 You can just put it in a bag, not taking up too much space.
02:24 And it's a cute little color.
02:25 It kind of matches my nails, so.
02:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:29 Honestly, it's the only pretzels that have some flavor.
02:32 We always have them at camp and at every away trip.
02:35 We try to grab them in the airport or have on the plane.
02:40 They got some garlic and spices.
02:42 That's all you need.
02:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:45 Let's see what it says.
02:46 I think it says a million trillion probiotics in it.
02:49 9 billion living probiotics.
02:51 Usually, it's synergy, pineapple, the raspberry one,
02:55 or the strawberry one.
02:57 I actually do drink this one.
02:58 This is just like the regular original one.
03:00 It tastes pretty good.
03:02 It's good for your gut health, so I just went for it.
03:05 I'm not like a junk food eater, but I do like eat candy
03:10 sometimes.
03:11 Anything sour, like Sour Patch Kids, Sour Ropes.
03:16 Like if I have kombucha, I have it with like a healthier meal.
03:19 If I get my candy, I just do it on the side.
03:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:23 I saw it on TikTok, and it kind of went viral.
03:26 So I was like, maybe I should try it out.
03:28 I think it's just like a little hydration toner situation.
03:32 Been pretty good ever since.
03:33 It's really important when you're
03:35 traveling a lot into different climates and just weather
03:38 in general to just have a routine.
03:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:43 This thing is a gift from God.
03:45 When you have a lot of baby hairs and flyaways,
03:47 it really just like sleeks it back.
03:50 I found this a couple of months ago,
03:52 and I have like 15 of them now because I use it every day.
03:55 I mean, I'm not really heading the ball that much,
03:57 but I mean, you're on TV.
03:58 You want to look good, so.
04:00 I honestly looked really wild before.
04:02 You know, no one told me how crazy I looked until this
04:06 moment when I got this.
04:07 It was bad.
04:08 It was really bad.
04:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:11 Naomi told me that I needed to get it,
04:13 and she was like yelling at me about it.
04:15 And I was like, I'll see, and then I went into Sephora,
04:18 and I smelled it, and I was like, you're right, girl.
04:20 I got to get it.
04:21 As soon as your teammate gets something that's really good,
04:24 you talk about it, and then everyone just
04:27 starts buying other things other people have
04:29 because you're always together, and you respect their opinion.
04:32 So I don't wear perfume on the field.
04:35 Outside of the field, any other place, I definitely wear it.
04:37 I wouldn't want to smell bad on the field,
04:40 but like it's not really something I think about.
04:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:44 You know, you want to have a purse when you're traveling,
04:46 but you don't need it to be like something crazy when you
04:48 enter a soccer team.
04:49 So I feel like this is a good little casual bag.
04:52 I got my wallet.
04:54 I got a camera from Trin's 21st birthday.
04:59 Got my passport.
05:01 And a drip drop, very essential.
05:04 Just like electrolytes.
05:07 Dump it in some water and chug it, and you're good to go.
05:10 This bag fits a lot more than it looks.
05:12 I do travel with quite a bit of things,
05:14 and it all seems to fit in here.
05:15 So GQ, thank you so much for having me.
05:18 I hope that you guys learned a little bit about me
05:20 through my essentials, and see you in Australia.
