My birthday present to myself!





I am officially 37 years old. How am I this old?! I'm closing in on 40 in a few years and that is down right kinda scary. I was pretty depressed when I turned 30 and I wonder if I will feel the same way when I turn 40. I'm a pretty happy person in general, but thinking about getting older can sometimes set off a panic attack. 

This is supposed to be a happy post! Moving on... so I am an online shopper junkie. I'll visit my usual websites every week and that's usually Lululemon, Neiman Marcus, Fashionphile just to name a few. I was looking up Coach 1941 bags on Neiman Marcus to check out the new Keith Haring limited edition pieces and saw this Rexy Dylan bag on sale. I know it's a return because these bags sold out back in December. 


The size of the bag is very similar to my J.Crew signet bag. The Dylan bag is slightly wider at the base but other than that, the dimensions are nearly identical. I absolutely love how the leather looks burnt around the edges of the bag. I think it's a really nice detail.


This is me dressed down over the weekend doing errands. Sneakers- check, sweatpants- check, Down For A Run Jacket- check. The bag is a burnt orange with a hint of marigold that reminds me of sunnier days. It brought a bit of happiness to an otherwise cloudy and rainy weekend. Which of course meant I didn't get to do a photoshoot again.


I also really love the strap!


My husband got me some new fitness equipment! A new bench and a medicine ball. I really didn't know what weight to start with since I wasn't sure exactly what kind of exercises I would be doing with the medicine ball, but so far the 6 lbs is fine. If I really like it I'll get a second one that's heavier. I'm pretty excited about the bench too!


Hope everyone had a great weekend!

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. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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

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.
