WMTM & Random Musings

Not much of a WMTM update today, but a few things I'd like to mention. I surprisingly really like this yoga bag. I just don't have any real need for one!



So now that I have a full time job that requires me to actually dress up, and by dressing up I mean business casual. I've been looking at clothing that I could wear to the office and outside of the office. A turtleneck would work, but I think I would just get too hot and there's nothing worse than sweating and not able to take it off! But I love rulu and this definitely caught my eye. If you get cold easily this might be for you. 

Here's another option. This one is even more work appropriate, it's more fitted. 


How is everyone's week going? How is your frugal February going so far? I'm wrapping up my first week at my new job and my ban is going fantastic. I'm so busy at work and by the time I get home and do everything I need to do, I just pass out in my bed. I literally have no time to surf or shop online! It's like I have no time to spend money! It's great! I do have a computer at the office, but since I just started, I do not want to take the chance at being caught surfing the internet just yet. 

I do have some unfortunate news. I won't be posting a Fit Review Friday tomorrow. I know a lot of you look forward to my fit reviews but with the traveling to New York and starting my new job this week, I do not have anything lined up. However, I will be taking tons of photos this weekend so I should be back up and running with a more normal posting schedule next week. 

Last thing I want to mention is how much I am loving my new Signet Bag! I needed a more appropriate work bag and decided on the Signet bag in soft blossom. I purchased this from J.Crew for full price just a couple of weeks ago and of course I get an email today that J.Crew is giving 20% off full price items. The black color is on my wish list so I'm hoping my DH will read this and order me one for my birthday since I'm on a ban, ha ha ha!


The size is perfect for a small everyday bag. It fits my wallet, iPhone, keys, a pair of sunglasses, my lipstick and inhaler with more room to spare. Sorry for the craptastic modeling shot below but it gives you an idea of how big it is. The bag actually looks bigger in the photo since it's in front of my body. 


Here is another shot, please excuse the mess! It's more accurate size wise. The strap is also long and I tied a knot in the back to shorten it. 


The leather is really soft and pebbly. There's an outside pocket to stash receipts. There's also two inside pockets for cards and change. The hardware is a very subtle gold which I really like. The color is a soft pink and it matches my Fitbit. =)

I want to mention how sweet my husband is. He had flowers sent to my office on my first day at work. Aren't they just gorgeous?! I should really take some more photos of them before they die. 


Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

Look forward to seeing your fit review post this weekend. :) I bought the midnight navy swiftly tank from this upload b/c it matches all my bottoms, read this one was nice, and swiftly tanks are my favorite workout top (yet I only had 2 before this... shocking lol). Eyeing the plum swiftly tank on wmtm too.. :X

    1. Wow, I have close to 10 Swiftly tanks, I think actually 8. The plum is very nice but I have something similar. I also have something similar to the navy too... but not as dark. Both are great colors!

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.
