Happy Hour

Can you link the faux olive trees you shared in stories a few weeks ago? Would you recommend them?

I have two faux olive trees in my house.. the first was a find from the Restoration Hardware outlet and was a major score because the one’s on their website are crazy expensive. And while mine was still pricey, I figure it pays for itself since I’m not killing a real one month after month 🙂 My other one is much more budget friendly from Pottery Barn (got the bigger one) and fits great in my guest room. My only problem with it is that the leaves are white on one side and green on the other so it takes some “fluffing” to make sure the leaves are turned the right direction! Otherwise, I think it’s a great option. I don’t have this version but heard it’s a good one, though!

I need a nightstand tray to place miscellaneous items like rings, a candle, my book, etc. Can you link some cute ones?

I just got this one from Target and put this candle on it along with other bedside items! But if you think it’s too big for you, I love this option. As for a little “trinket” dish, I love something like this.. something simple!

I need a new Nespresso machine and with so many on the market, can you recommend your favorite?

I have this one from Amazon but the WHITE VERSION is catching my eye (and if mine ever breaks the white one will be coming home with me). I will forever buy this coffee machine because I love it and we’ve had ours since 2016 and haven’t had any issues. Makes regular espresso but also has a milk frother attached to make foamy lattes!

I need a new home diffuser for all of my essential oils.. any recs?

Funny you ask this because I recently had this same thought.. I am ready for an upgrade and this terracotta stone diffuser is so chic. Anthro also has it in stock in other colors like this black version. But I’ve also had my eye on this one for over a year and I think I’m ready to pull the trigger.. I just think she’d look so pretty in my house 🙂 If you want more budget friendly, I just saw this one in the store and thinks it’s a great option!

I would love a new graphic sweatshirt and they seem to be so popular and popping up everywhere I look. Can you link your favorites?

Yes! I am going to link all budget friendly options because you can find seriously GOOD sweatshirts that look expensive everywhere right now (pro tip: look in the men’s section of H&M and Target for really good finds):

I‘m going to pull the trigger on a pair of Golden Goose, but can’t for the life of me decide which ones to get. Which would you guys go for from a more neutral perspective?

You won’t regret it! Here are our top picks for a neutral pair that will go with everything!

I will be 31 weeks pregnant and heading to warmer temps for a babymoom. I don’t want to spend a lot, but would like a cute new bathing suit for the trip. Any recommendations?

Here are some cute and affordable options:

Alix- we are getting a second pup (lab mutt) and I know you guys just got a pup too. I was wondering if you recommend any toys in particular for helping things go more smoothly. It’s been so long since we had a pup I can’t even begin to think of what we need to buy to keep her from chewing everything up!

Congrats! I just wrote a post here about how our transition into puppy life is going. It gets better every week and I’ve heard the first month is the hardest (potty training, crate training, chewing, etc). I don’t think there is a specific toy in general that is SAVING us…I just got a bunch of toys and make sure she always has something to chew on. If she starts nipping/chewing we immediately put on of her toys in her mouth. We have the Kong, but she’s not super into it yet. She loves playing with this fishing pole toy with Quinn, she loves these bones and these teething rings, and loves this ball, We also got her this toy the pet store guy recommended. She doesn’t totally get into it yet, but I think it will keep her busy when I put bigger treats in there eventually. I’ve heard this heartbeat toy is great for puppies for week in the crate…we never got for Daisy because she did pretty well in the crate at night from the beginning. Good luck!

I’m wanting to start a new probiotic…is there one you recommend?

I was taking SEED pre/probiotics for a while until my naturopath recommended this one and I’m blown away how much better this one works!
