I wanted to ask your opinion on Olipop. I love them and wondering if they are too good to be true. They’re labeled as a prebiotic which isn’t something I’ve seen much. Is it hype?
Personally it gives me a stomach ache. I tried to like it especially when pregnant for a fun drink, but I couldn’t get into it. Compared to soda (or even kombucha) it’s a good alternative because it’s low in sugar, carbs, and cals. It’s touted as being good for gut health because of the fiber content and prebiotics (which is basically the food for probiotics). The ingredients in the drink are all safe and have potential health benefits, but they don’t tell you how much of each ingredient is in the drink, so you don’t really know if you’re getting an effective dosage. Drinking the soda for pure health reasons isn’t worth it, but if you like the taste and tolerate the fiber dosage- go for it!
Who do you recommend for massages again in WA? I think it was in Ballard. How about on the east side if I don’t want to cross bridges lol!
We go to Meghan Davenport in Ballard. She has her own studio and is truly a master at her craft. If you are unwilling to drive to Ballard or just too far away, I love Yuan Spa in Bellevue and the new one at Totem Lake in Kirkland or the Pro Club in Bellevue!
Can you link your everyday wine glasses?
Yes, these are my favorites because they are the same ones Olivia Pope used on Scandal IYKYK! If the tall stem scares you, I also have these and love them.. super modern, clean and sleek.
Alix what is the sleep stone you mentioned on IG earlier this week? Is it a stone? A lotion? A pill? What does it help with?
These “stones” are basically lotion in a solid form. You massage the stone on your body and it kind of melts and lathers your skin. It’s so moisturizing, smells great, and fun to use. A little goes a long way so it does last a while.
I can’t find a pair of New Balance sneakers cuz they always sell out in my size. Any cute shoes that look like them but I can actually snag?
Yes!! Nike has an adorable pair as does J Crew and Madewell! All under $100! Also, I just ordered these that look very similar to the New Balance.
Can you link the Apothecary jars you used to stack the oreos on your counter? I want to display my bath soaps in one!
Cute idea! Here you go!
Any good Super Bowl recipes you’ll be making? Need inspo!
I plan to make Kristin Cavillari’s game day nachos– so good! I will also make these buffalo chicken meatballs– another game day fave. This taco dip and artichoke dip sound so good! I might make one of those with with a bunch of cut of veggies and Siete chips. This chili recipe is always a crowd pleaser.
I’m looking for a new pair of jeans that are not skinny, but not flared. I’d also prefer no huge holes/distress and a lighter wash (not super dark)? Oh and I don’t want to spend $250 lol. I know that’s a big ask, but any recs?
My go-to jeans are always Levis but they have NO GIVE so you really need to know your size before ordering (I typically order up). I have and love these, these and these. I also love Agolde jeans and these are really cute but they are ”boxy” at the bottom (but I like that) so these are a good alternative. Lastly, Citizen of Humanity have always made a solid pair of jeans and I like these a lot (and on sale!).
Cheers, H&A
