I'm wanting a new band for my apple watch...something a little nicer when I'm not working out.  Any ideas? I hear ya!  I like these mesh bands ($$) and got a really inexpensive rose gold one off amazon like this one. I feel like it loosens up and I'm having to tighten it a lot throughout the day, so maybe the more $$ one would work better? I also like these wrap bands, this leather band, and if … [Read more...]

My husband and I are heading to Napa next month for a wine tasting trip with friends and I'm struggling with what to wear.. it will be warm so I want to stay cool but don't want to wear anything too short that might be inappropriate in a wine tasting setting. Help! You already know what I'm going to say.. ROMPER! Or a dress but rompers make life easy (minus using whole having to pee part). I … [Read more...]

Alix- what are your favorite smoothie flavors from Daily Harvest? I've liked pretty much all of the smoothies I've tried so far!  The only ones I haven't loved is the cold brew + almond (which I was so excited about!) and the dragon fruit + lychee. My favs are pineapple + matcha, chai + coconut, mint + cacao, and blueberry + hemp.  I have an apple + greens coming my way this week I'm excited to … [Read more...]

What is your favorite nursing bra and tank for those first few months when you're tender and sore from breastfeeding? Heather: I always wore Cake maternity sports bras during postpartum. They're a little pricey but worth it to me.. the material is extra soft and my boobs had no business being in any sort of real bra with underwire or straps digging into my skin. I needed comfort all day long. … [Read more...]

Did you use an app for tracking breastfeeding? Alix: No I'm old school and like to see it all written down. I kept a little journal with my feeding times (aiming for a minimum of 8 feeds/24 hours I believe) and a tally for poops and pees (for Quinn- not me haha). I think I did this for about a 1-2 weeks until she was gaining weight and we had a little routine down. I also had a hair tie I wore … [Read more...]

What does a healthy toddler diet look like? How much protein? do they really need from cow's milk, etc? First I'll say - every kiddo's needs are different so always ask your pediatrician for specific recommendations.  I would also consult with your pediatrician about your child's need for cows milk and discuss how else your child is getting adequate dairy intake (cheese, yogurt, … [Read more...]

Alix- good luck at your half marathon this weekend! I'm curious what you're going to wear since running 13.1 miles takes comfort and practicality but of course you want to look cute! Thank you! I'm starting to get nervous, but will be glad to have it done! I don't know for sure what I'm going to wear yet, but here are some options I'm considering. If I wear pants I'll be wearing these lulu and … [Read more...]

I need a pair of flats for work and was looking at the Nordstrom Half Yearly sale for options. I can't seem to find any I like. Can you help? I've only come across a few pairs from the sale that are purchase worthy. Marc Fisher can do no wrong (in my opinion) and these, in any color, would be perfect. Halogen has a similar version here. If I was still working, I'd be rocking loafers/mules every … [Read more...]

I had a baby a month ago and with summer right around the corner, I'm in need of a flattering bathing suit that holds everything in and covers my imperfections like the dark brown line going down the center of my tummy (will it ever go away?!) Any suggestions for one pieces or high waisted swim suits? Yes, that "line" (also known as the linea nigra) will go away but it takes time.. have … [Read more...]
