Review & An Awesome Purchase! Down For A Run Vest, Athleta Vortex Jacket, Transitions Jacket, Downalicious Deluxe Vest

Post holiday sales have been nice to me lately.  I went to the Burlington store and they had HUGE markdowns.  I'm talking 50% off.  I saw the Down For A Run Jacket for $99 in Tender Violet in my size, which was super tempting.  But I passed it up when I saw the Down For A Run Vest in Berry Rumble marked down to $69!  Major score since that is my first pick in choice of color.  So now I'm unsure if I want to keep the Forage Teal Vest I scored on WMTM for $99.  Lululemon problems!


Down For A Run Vest in Berry Rumble Size 4.  $69!!!

I'm wearing it over my Be Present Jacket.  

I went to Athleta and tried on a few pieces.  The one that stood out to me most is the Transitions Jacket.  The fit was true to size.  I'm always a size XXS at Athleta.  The price tag is off putting to say the least especially since it's made out of 100% polyester.  I really did not think it is worth the price at all.  I would cap it at maybe $130.  It's thin and more of a Spring piece.  It is called Transitions after all.  







I've been eyeing the Downalicious Vest for awhile since it went on sale.  But at $118, I think I'm happier with my Down For A Run Vest.  This looked pretty nice over the Transitions Jacket.  If the vest went on further markdown for say $75 I might go for it.  I like the edgy look sometimes.  It's the inner goth in me.

The last piece I tried on is the Vortex Jacket.  This wasn't bad, but I am afraid the fleece parts will not hold up well in the long run.  I like that it has a hood.  The fit was true to size.  But again the price tag is off putting.  $148.  I'll reconsider if it goes on sale.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed a love/hate relationship with c

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in. It's a tiny chip that I didn't even notice until my dentist pointed it out to me during my last visit. I'm not looking forward to it at all since I will need local anesthesia. Anyway, today I have a belt bag size comparison review for you all! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.

I'm already thinking about all the dim sum I'm going to cram in the 10 days I'm there! 😆  Today I have a review of the new  Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap  compared to the original  Everywhere Belt Bag  that is slowly being phased out. 😢  **** Update - The original Everywhere Belt Bag has been phased out completely.
