Happy Hour

Can you link your favorite beanies for the upcoming cooler temps?

My favorite are Carhartt because they are warm! I have one in every neutral color.. black, white, grey. But if you want to splurge, Rag and Bone has cute ones as does AllSaints. We also love a good pom beanie 🙂 I have this one I rotate heavily in the winter. These are my favorite for your little babe!

I need a new pair of statement boots for fall. Any new ones you’re eyeing?

So I (Heather) just purchased these boots and it’s a step outside of my comfort zone but I think they’ll look so cute with my Spanx leggings and oversized sweater.. I mean they are a statement! I am also eyeing a pair of western style boots but I just don’t think I’ll get the wear out of them here in Seattle. If you want to keep it more classic but still make a statement, I love this pair and this pair (in all three color combos).

It’s time for a new fleece.. do you still like the Abercrombie one?

We do and they go on sale often this time of year! It comes in a lot of color combos! We also really love the mini puffer jackets in fleece and leather.

I want a leather jacket but don’t want to spend more than $50.. help!

No problem! Look how good this one is 🙂

Mule season is approaching and I don’t have the budget for the Gucci loafers so can you link a good dupe?

This one just came out and so if they have your size, snag it now!

What’s a good gift to get the girls in my book club? Something cute but not too expensive since I have to buy a bunch?!

Any of these gifts would work for a girlfriend in your life.. I think a really nice gift would be fuzzy slippers like these (we both have and love), an initial necklace, or a Monogram mug with Hershey’s kisses in it!

I want a pair of Golden Goose sneakers but nothing too flashy.. also, do they run TTS?

These are the ones I have but are sold out because I got them years ago! When you see a pair of GG’s that you like, you gotta snag them because they don’t remake them. These are my current favorites that are understated but still cool as are these.(these ones have a silver star). I am an 8.5 and sized down in my low tops but sized up in my high tops because I wanted to be able to wear socks with them.

Alix – what are Brazil nuts and where do you buy them? Do they say Brazil nuts on the packaging? What are the benefits of eating 2 a day?

I get my brazil nuts at Trader Joe’s. They are easy to find in the nuts and dried fruit section. I like to store them in a glass jar with lid this these in the fridge so they last longer. I take two a day to meet selenium needs…super easy and tasty. Why selenium is important…. brain function, thyroid regulation, anti-cancer, fertility, heart disease protection, immunity booster, anti-inflammatory, and more.

Is Kinsley sleeping through the night and if so, what is your system? What sleep sack are you currently using? Does she take a pacifier?

Knock on wood… she is sleeping through the night. She was waking up once/night for a snack and I was planning to cut that out, but she seemed to do that herself. Right now she takes two 60-90 minute naps and one last 30-45 min cat nap. Every night we do bath (she loves) lotion + baby massage, jammies, book if she’s not too tired/fussy, and bottle. She goes down between 6:30-7pm and wake up around 6:45-7:30am right now (don’t worry Quinn is up around 6am though lol). We are still using and loving the magic merlin sleep suit (she is not rolling yet so this is still a safe option). She doesn’t take a paci which was actually worked out well because I don’t have to stress about it falling out and waking her up. She loves her hands and uses them to sooth herself. I’ve learned to put her down awake for naps and bed time and she usually chit chats to herself for a while and then falls asleep on her own which is a good tool for her to have if she wakes up at night- she can put herself to sleep without needing to be rocked.

What were the bath salt you use for Quinn’s bath?

I found this epsom bath with vitamin c and elderberry at Target and put them in her bath every night. Great cold the winter and cold season and it smells so good!

I’m thinking of sending a friend who just had a baby some Daily Harvest, but I have not ordered from them in a long time. What are your favorite flavors? Can be smoothie or other items too!

Great idea! Smoothies we love: pineapple + matcha, strawberry + peach, mango + greens, and ginger + greens. We like the flatbreads and the sweet potato + wild rice hash bowl.

xx, A+H
