Just In! Allbirds Lunar New Year Wool Runner 2

 

Happy Friday! Janaury is coming to an end! So I confess, I broke my ban for these Lunar New Year inspired Allbirds shoes. I am a sucker for limited edition items. How is everyone else doing? We only have five more days to go. If I end the month as it stands right now, with Allbirds as my one purchase, I'd be pretty happy.

For reference I'm usually size 5.5 in Allbirds.

Size 5.5

I don't have any kind of beige shoe in my collection and what I really love about this pair is how the dark red accents complements the beige really well. Red and gold are the traditional good luck colors for Lunar New Year and Allbirds did a great job with these shoes. The Botanic Red pattern on the back of the shoe remind me of clouds you would often see surrounding dragons in paintings. It's a very subtle but I dig it.


Love the red trim around the ankle and stitched eyelets.


Sizes are mostly sold out, but they are being restocked on 1/26 (today!)



I bought my usual 5.5 in these and the fit is perfect with some thin ankle socks. If you prefer wearing thicker socks, you may want to size up. If you're a fan of the original version of Wool Runners, these are sturdier and thus feel more stiff, which takes time getting used to. They also break in slightly after a few wears and the newness/stiffness softens up a bit.



I can't wait to wear these out! I'll be wearing them a lot this year in hopes they will bring me some luck. By the way, if you happen to be a Rooster (which I am) when it's the year of the Dragon, the Rooster benefits the most. The Dragon will bring the Rooster a lot of luck this year. I'm hoping it's true. That's it for me, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

    1. Hi AC! I'm always surprised how many have stuck around and welcome new faces that drop by and say hello.

      I am loving the LNY Wool Runner 2s. I'm sad it's been rainy all week, I want to wear them out already!

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
