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
For once, I caught it early! I'm on the west coast so by the time I got up at 7am, the East already has 3 hours of shopping the wmtm :( usually popular items and or sizes are gone. This time, however, I got so many things. Maybe too many. I went a bit overboard lol. I bought 10 plus tops, 6 invisiwear, 3 swim pieces, and one pair of leggings (unlimited in Navy). I can't believe Lotsa neutral or core colors are included! Happy shopping! Would love to know if u bought something :)
ReplyDeleteWow that's a nice haul! I think the sale was up by 11 pm eastern time last night. I ended up getting In Alignment Bra in the smoky topaz, it just looks so pretty, the WU iridescent foil (will have to get those hemmed) and I took a chance on the Lululemon Lab Waterproof Shell Jacket. I've been kinda looking for a jacket in that style, not 100% sure of the color may wash me out, but we'll see!
DeleteHi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI only checked out the sale just now and there's nothing interesting on the Canadian site. Maybe a lot of things were sold out already. I, however, managed to get a size 2 Black color Insulated Waterproof Jacket which was probably a returned item! I went straight to check out without having time to use my gift cards LOL. Lucky me and I will let you know if I like it.
Hi Andrea! Woo hoo! Glad you managed to get the jacket, I know you've been eyeing one. Hope you like it!
DeleteBahhhh they’ve cancelled my order! :(
DeleteOooooffff that stinks! Sorry Andrea. =(
DeleteMaybe something else will pop up for you.
I bought All Yours Tee in black and white, Like A Cloud Bra in Smoky Quartz, and Cool Racerback Tank Shorter Length in Rain Forest last night and 4am EST this morning. It looks like the popular sizes went fast. I am happy that I did not go crazy this year because the prices are not as good as last year's. There are plenty of other BF sales to spend $$$ on though :).
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Leslie!
Hi AmherstLulu that Smoky Quartz color is really beautiful. I agree about the prices. They're okay but maybe they will do another cut for Cyber Monday but likely it will be the left oversizing. Totally agree, the BF sales have been crazy!
DeleteP.S. Happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteI got the ribbed turtleneck and the warpstream joggers 7/8 length. Hoping they're petite friendly but have been eyeing those babies for a while! I was on at 11:30 p.m. and already alot of what you're showing here was gone. Though Canada may not have had the same things.
ReplyDeleteHi Tri Like Mary! Oh wow, Canada sounds like a lot of competition! There was still nearly full stock by the time I posted everything here in the US. Glad you were able to snag a couple of items. =)
DeleteI got the Micro 3L backpack in Clementine (yay - finally something in Clementine for me!) and the black scalloped Aligns. I had a few other things in my cart but decided to boot them out. Happy shopping, all!
ReplyDeleteLZ- Good for you! Clementine is pretty but not something I can pull off, but a small accessory sounds perfect. I definitely tried to only purchase something that I really didn't have anything like it. (besides the bra I got.) Happy shopping!
DeleteI got the Swiftly Breathe in Capture Blue/Capri, Align 23" in DD Lunar Rock True Navy, Unlimit 25" in Black and Key to Balance Tank in Black!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I contemplated the Swiftly in Capture Blue. Ended up passing since I don't need another tank... I have a lot. Sounds like you got an amazing haul coming to you!!
Deletehee hee! You too! I'm looking forward to your review of the Lululemon Lab Waterproof Shell! I like the simplistic design and the length of that jacket! I'd also love to see your review of the Wunder Under Foil. It looks beautiful in pictures. Just don't know if I can pull off the floral pattern!
DeleteHave a wonderful thanksgiving!
I got the hold tight short sleeve in black! With the deep scoop neck and quarter sleeves. I got the item today and it's so soft! Definitely runs looser but TTS! Not too tight at all. Also got the big bow scrunchie in twill green but that hasn't arrived yet. I bought so much from Aritzia
ReplyDeleteWow you got your items fast.. I am still waiting for my packages... they were supposed to arrive yesterday but nothing. I guess everything is jammed up from all the holiday shopping.
