Upload! September 14th 2021

 Lots of fall items dropping in today's upload and with that, I guess short season is over. What do we think of the new Align High-Rise 28" Botanical Bloom Anchor? I kinda like the print but do not like the contrasting seams. Very pretty Align T-Shirt Diamond Dye Lunar Rock True Navy but as I recently learned, do not size up! Let me know if there is something you'd like to see a fit review of. So far, nothing for me this week! I placed a fairly large order from Athleta this week. They had their Friends & Family discount over the weekend. Will be posting more reviews shortly!







(These are a nice staple piece for fall.)











(This is really pretty, I don't usually like high collars like that though, but I do find this top runs large.)



(Pretty! If anyone wants to try this stick to your true to size!)

  1. I didn't order anything, but I think the Botanical Bloom Anchor print looks nice. The floral pattern is neutral and pretty.

    1. I took a second look at those leggings and I agree that the contrasting seams ruins the look.

    2. Hi Karen, there is something really pretty about those flowers. Maybe they will release other items without the contrasting seams.

  2. Nothing for me but I do think that floral print aligns is pretty! I have some printed bottoms I never reach for so I'd just stick to solid colors for leggings. I hope they make a petite friendly scuba half/full zip for the holidays! I would love that. Now that I own several of them... I realize they're comfortable but not that flattering... so I'm not buying any more

    1. Yessss I would love a petite version of the Scuba 1/2/Full zips! Now we're talking. I hope they release the Asia fit here soon.

  3. I saw delicate mint in a crb race length so that's the only item I bought this week. Oh and the groove pants nulu since restocked! Tempted by the scuba full zip twill green but nah, I have one Navy and that's GD enough.

    Athleta is here in Canada now! Never ordered from athleta before (only from gap, old Navy, br)... And I wonder about their elation pants! How do they compare to lulu's groove pants? The price point is similar... Any insight would be appreciated!

    1. Hi! Yes super excited for my Canadian readers. To be honest I have never tried Lulu's Groove Pant or Elation Pant because the inseam is not very petite friendly, so I haven't bothered. But Powervita is very similar to Nulu. Between the two Nulu is softer and more buttery. Powervita is still very soft but feels a little thicker and less delicate, and slightly more compressive but still pretty comfortable. If the 29 inch inseam isn't too long for you, I would give the Elation pair a try. I would need a 26 inch inseam and since they're flares, it just won't work for me even if I got them hemmed. The proportions just don't look right. If you get the 20% off coupon, it would be worth it to try Athleta!

    2. Thanks for your detailed reply, Leslie! I think the 29 inch would be perfect for sneakers for me...so I'm interested! I did get a 20% off coupon for signing up for their newsletter but alas, it's only applies to purchases 150 dollars or over. Maybe I'll wait for black Friday :D Also looked at some sweatshirt items but pretty pricey at $89 cdn. I'd only pay that much for a Lulu lol

    3. Smart! Black Friday is right around the corner!

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.

Review! Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap VS Everywhere Belt Bag Original

  Happy May! Can't believe summer is right around the corner. I'm looking forward to visiting my family later this month. It's been nearly a year since I've been back to NYC. 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. The website has removed the Extended Strap from the name. The updated version is now called the Everywhere Belt Bag!**** For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.
