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

Fit Review Friday! Athleta In Motion Seamless Tank, Effortless Tank and Semi-Annual Sale Starts Today!

Happy Friday! I'm SO ready for the long weekend, I hope everyone has a safe Fourth of July! I am still exhausted from going to three concerts in five days. 😅 It's been a hectic week. I got to see my favorite band in the whole world play twice. If you're a Cure fan, let me know! I am as passionate about their music as I am with handbags. In other news, Athleta's Semi-Annual Sale started today! In today's post I'll be sharing a couple of tanks I tried on at the store and what my picks from the sale are. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS/XXS in Athleta tops. I'm also a size 4 in Lululemon tops. In Motion Seamless Tank Damask Mauve Size XS This pretty tank super comfortable and the fabric reminds me of a thicker, softer Lululemon Swiftly. I'm wearing size XS and it's a near perfect fit. It's slightly long on my torso but it's super comfortable. The grippy band around the hem keeps the tank from riding up.

New Releases Week of June 27th 2023

I just got home from The Cure concert. Is it just me, or was the upload very small? Not a whole lot caught my eye. Looks like I didn't miss much! I'll be back with a Fit Review Friday. 😊  Define Sleeveless Dress Dark Lavender Scuba Oversized 1/2 Zip Hoodie Dark Forest Gold Zip (I do love this combo.)

Wide-Sleeve Gathered Hem-T-Shirt Flush Pink Cinchable Waist HR Woven Short 3.5" Flush Pink

Fit Review! Anthropologie Maeve Seahorse Cardigan Sweater

How does the weekend always go by so fast? Well, last weekend I went to Avalon and stopped by Anthropologie. For those who don't know, I used to LOVE shopping at Anthro before I found Lululemon. Around 2014-2015 is when my love for Anthro slowly switched over to Lulu. Walking into Anthro, I was mostly disappointed by their offerings on display. But then this beautiful cardigan caught my eye. I pretty much knew I had to have it. I took some photos in the fitting room, but it didn't do this piece any justice. I brought it home and took some photos where I could show it off properly. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS/PXS in Anthropologie and size 4 in Lululemon tops. Anthropologie Maeve Seahorse Cardigan Sweater Size XS This Seahorse Cardigan is just adorable. I love the navy/white nautical theme which is perfect for a summer night out at the beach. I'm wearing size XS and it fits slightly oversized but not too much. I do have the sleeves

Fit Review Friday! Lululemon Wide-Sleeve Gathered Hem T-Shirt, Cinchable Waist High-Rise Woven Short 3.5" & Classic Fit Cotton-Blend T-Shirt & City Adventurer Belt Bag

Happy Friday! What is everyone up to? I know what I'll be doing this weekend. I will be watching 'And Just Like That'. I love me some Carrie Bradshaw. I heard Samantha Jones and Aidan will be in the new season. Aidan was definitely my favorite so I'm really excited to see them back together again. Please tell me someone here will be watching! I'm also currently reading Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. I'm about halfway through and I'll just say it's the best book I've read in a long time. The second book comes out in the fall and I cannot wait! I know it's officially summer and I should go out and enjoy the weather and I will! Saturday, I'm seeing Garbage at an amphitheatre. I'll probably complain it's too sunny and hot. 😆  Today's fit review is all about Lululemon. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
