Upload! July 5th 2022

First drop of the month! And it's a big one. Lots of hiking items, if I did hike, I would be pretty excited. Some of the items look really cool. A couple of new colors debuted today- Dark Oxide, Laurel Green, Altered Nature Multi. Lots of shorts today as well! Finally! Let me know what you're interested in from today's upload and let me know if you would like to see a fit review. Leave me a note in the comments! 


(This could be a fun print in something small)

(Nice deep plum color, I like it!)







(Very pretty!)


(Also in Wild Mint!)







(Also available in Silver Blue but why is it super high-rise?! 😩)

(Love the look but these lengths are long for petite folks!)









(This is cute!)

  1. I'm patting myself on the back for talking myself out of several items today - nothing for me after all!

    I was really looking forward to the convertible hiking joggers, as I do hike, fish, and other outdoor activities which require lightweight pants. The price, though!! Mayyyyyybe on WMTM - otherwise, no.

    HK also got a Lightweight 1/2 Zip Mesh Pullover that looks really nice. No matter the price, I think I'll grab it if/when it launches in the US. I know I'll regret it if I don't. I almost settled for the Rulu 1/2 Zip Pullover that uploaded in a couple of colors today, but I know the collar will drive me crazy. I dislike Defines for the same reason. The colors that released last time weren't my favs, and Pastel Blue *is* one of my favs, but no.

    The Ribbed Knit Cropped Tank in Lemon Sorbet (love that color but still waiting for the right item) looks nice, but I don't really wear lounge-y pieces - and for $78?? Another no.

    1. Hi LZ! I agree, there are lots of interesting items from today's drop, but the prices are high, and it's a reason why I didn't place an order. I would like a few more pairs of shorts, but will wait for more Hotty Hots. Those are the ones I really want, even though Align Shorts are my second go-to. I am almost swayed by Poolside... but $64!

      I wish the Ribbed Knit Cropped Tank was full length, I'm a little tired of crops these days!

  2. I’m really liking the Dark Oxide color and decided to purchase the Tech Fleece 1/4 Zip Pullover. I’m not really a hiker but think I’d still wear it in the colder months up in the mountains here. I’m hoping to see more fun color combinations!

    1. Dark Oxide is really pretty and would look so nice with Pink Clay. I would want to grab something in that color for sure. Sometimes I do miss the colder temps from the north! Especially now that I'm melting down here, lol!

  3. I enjoy hiking, but the hiking line is too rugged for my taste, lol. I prefer the Lulu pieces in my existing collection for both outdoor and indoor activities.

    I could not resist the Softstreme Relaxed Shorts in White Opal. It does not look super high rise on the models. So I am hopeful.

    1. Hi! I was eyeing the Softstreme Shorts in White Opal too, please report back on the rise!

  4. I ended up getting 3 pairs of shorts to try. I'm expecting to pick pair I like most and send the others back. I got the mint and the black drop-in pocket high rise 4" hiking shorts, each in a different size. I'm not sure about the split in the front. I wish it was straight across or maybe slightly less noticeable? I like the look of the shorts in the zip away pants, once the legs are zipped off, but not the pants themselves, haha!! I would have bought a short just like those if they offered them solo! I also got the black cargo shorts that loaded a few weeks ago. I need a deeper pocket for my phone when I go on shorter hikes and I don't want to carry a backpack or bag with me.

    I added in the hiking skirt to try out. I wear some Athleta ones that are similar to work. Longer undershorts in a skirt when you teach little kids is a must! The Lulu ones have some cute details, so I hope it works out! But, for $98 plus tax, it's going to have to give me emoji heart eyes to be a keeper.

    1. Hi Stacy! The hiking skirt is my favorite from the collection, then the zip away pants come in a close second. But $98 for the skirt, it has to be love! Report back on how you like it. I think it looks really sporty in black. I'm even tempted to try it. The rip away pants at $198? Yowza. That's a pass for me. But yes, the shorts look fantastic.

  5. hi Leslie, I didn't order anything from Lululemon, but the new Seasoft Wide Crop Pant from Athleta has caught my eye. I really like it in Tinsel Purple! If I come across a promo code, I'll have to order it.

    1. Hi Karen! I was looking at those Athleta Crops too! Did you see the tank? I am totally ordering both as a set to try. I think they both come in black, but I wouldn't mind a mix and match either. My only concern about the crop, is they look super wide and that tends to make me look shorter. =T

    2. hi Leslie, Yeah, I saw the tank in dusk purple and thought the set may look good together! If you end up ordering, please do a fit review. May be we can pull off super wide leg pants if the length is right!

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. 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.
