Jared Post - Our New Home and How IKEA Furnishes It

Hello there. Leslie’s husband doing the post today. For those that are new to Leslie’s site, occasionally she’ll have me write a post. In the past, I’ve written about our experiences with meal delivery services such as HelloFresh or when I covered for her while she was away to take care of her grandma for a stretch of time. You all seemed to like how I covered the weekly drops. She wanted to cover our recent move and go into a bit of detail into why we tend to favor IKEA and our thinking behind some of our purchases. In the past when people would visit our place, they would be surprised that nearly 80% of our furniture comes from IKEA. Now I know IKEA gets a lot of shit (I mean, just look at this “Fight Club” scene from 1999 ) and has this reputation of being the place where you go to furnish your dorm room or your first apartment/house, but you can have a lot of IKEA items and not have it feel like an extension of their showrooms.

Review! Go Forth Goods Florence XL Crossbody Bag

  Happy Friday! I can't believe January is pretty much over. Who crushed the No-Buy Challenge this month? It wasn't terrible, right? It gets easier the more you practice at saying no to buying stuff. I do have a few things on my wishlist and February is my birthday month so I will definitely place an order or two. We're officially moving out this weekend and it's my goal to get back to posting my regular fit reviews soon. Thank you all for your patience and riding this out with me!  Today's review is the big sister to Go Forth Goods Florence Crossbody Bag. I have three in the original size and I was curious about the larger size. I love the size of the original, but the added two inches in the XL gives it a more flattering silhouette in my opinion.

The leather is super lightweight, and very soft in the pliable s...

New Releases Week of January 27th 2026

Today's drop is very Valentine's Day focused. Lots of pinks and reds. Not really my cup of tea. This might have been the easiest No-Buy Challenge so far. I've been so focused on the move, I haven't had much time to really look at things. Four days to go, but I think I will have to break it because Go Forth Goods is discontinuing one of my favorite leathers on January 31st. 😢 I'm going to place a last minute order with them. In other news, Vuori price increases have arrived. My favorite Vuori Performance joggers are now $110 as is the Halo Modern Hoodie. More details below! How is everyone doing on their No-Buy, Low-Buy Challenge?  Brushed Cotton Reversible Crossover Sweater Misty Pink (This is cute, but so cropped though.)
