New Releases Week of October 4th 2022

There was a drop last night but I was too busy with dinner and work. Better late than never I guess! Lots of Smoked Spruce and Tidewater Teal. I'm really happy to see that Tidewater Teal keeps popping up. The Hooded Radiant Jacket is back! I love the cut but the sleeves are just too long for me. The Scuba Full Zip in Green Jasper is really pretty. The biggest drop from last night has got to be the new Strongfeel Women's Training Shoe but I'm just not feeling the design. I already tried a couple of pairs of the Blissfeel Running shoes and haven't been impressed. Unless someone requests that I do a review, I'm going to pass on these as well. Let me know if you got anything from the drop! 






















New shoes were dropped last night! I'm not a fan of their shoes from the two I've tried, so I won't be ordering a pair. I might have gone for a pair of the training shoes, but they aren't appealing to me.

  1. Hi Leslie. I was curious about the strong feel shoes as they’re not running but training shoes. I wanted to try them for pickleball. Do you think they’ll make a good indoor court shoe? Can I request a fit review? Do you know their 30 day trial policy? Will they give you a refund if not satisfied? And what do they do with all the returned used shoes?

    1. Hi there, I am not sure if they would be good for pickleball, I've never played that game before. I can do a fit review but I'm reluctant to try them for 30 days since I am not sure what happens with the used shoes after they're returned.

    2. It says on their website the returned lightly used shoes will be sold in their Like New section. They now have a buy back program

    3. Oh yes, I see that now. I would need to know what they consider "lightly used shoes" though. I just placed an order, but I'll wait and see when they get here before I decide if I'll actually test them out or not. I'll at the very least do a fit review.

  2. I went to one of my local shops in NY and bought 2 pairs of strong feel sneakers to try. I’m an avid lifter fyi which includes Olympic lifting. I did a 90 minute session with my strength and conditioning coach this afternoon in my new sneakers. They are super comfortable and truly awesome for lifting. Their soles are stiff and very stable. The bottom of shoes are designed so they provide very good traction on wood platform. I highly recommend. I’m sz 7 and bought 7. In my experience these run true to size.

  3. I forgot to mention that I’ve tried Lululemon run sneakers and they actually hurt my feet. I’m a distance runner also and the Lululemon sneakers were actually very uncomfortable for a 5 mile run . So I was weary of trying there lifting sneakers. I’m so glad I did because they are really comfortable.

    1. Hi there, Wow! Thanks for your review! What color did you get? I was leaning towards rose/raspberry. I'm not a fan of their runners but I'm happy to hear the Strongfeel shoes are worth a try.

    2. I got black and the dirty looking cream color which I got because they look “vintage” to me to be honest I really like every aspect of these shoes. I saw them online and went to the store. When I saw them online I thought maybe the design was a bit boring. They look much better in person

  4. hi Leslie! Nothing from this week's drop for me, but I received my Venice Jogger in Rustic Beige and I love the colour! Thanks for the recommendation!

    1. Hi Karen! Awesome! I'm glad you love it! I think pairing it with a Natural Ivory top would look amazing.

  5. I was interested in the strongfeel shoes as I lift but don't run (not since orange theory!). However, I'm not sure if I'll like the design - the front of the shoes look rather blunt. I like it more tapered... Nothing for me this week! Was tempted with the black ebb with *words on the strap but do I need another black ebb?!

    1. Hi Blueberries! Agreed, I'm not crazy about the design, but I'll wait and see if it's better looking in person. I would get the Quilted belt bag in black, it's a little bigger!

  6. Green Jasper is a gorgeous color but too bad I’m not a big fan of green. I wish LLL brings back Night Diver, hopefully in a Plush Scuba!

    1. Hi Andrea! I ended up not keeping the Heathered Pink Taupe. The color was just a little off for me. I didn't love it in person!

    2. Oh that's too bad. :( Can't wait to see your fit review!

  7. Nothing new for me this week! I missed out on the Icing Blue HR HH 2.5s in my size but am not too upset since I already have them in the FYP Shorts. I don't really solely lift anymore, so I won't be ordering the Strongfeels. I do like the color combos and the soles, though. The Chargefeels are my fav and go-to's for workouts.

    What do you think about the Psychedelic [something something] print in the mini belt bag? I kind of love it but am not sure how I would wear it. Maybe a bra?

    1. Hi LZ! I do like the Psychedelic Peri Purple print. That looks interesting and would like to see it in a bra or shorts.

    1. Hi Janessa! So true, all the sales will be happening in a month, so I need to try and be good also! =D I love my natural ivory scuba too. Very happy with it!

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. 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.
