What should I look for in a vitamin D supplement and how much should I take?
This is a very easy to understand article on what vitamin D, what is does in the body (spoiler alert: it has MANY important roles) They show the recommended dose as 600 IU/day which I find to be on the conservative side especially if you live in the PNW and don’t get a lot of sun. It’s ideal to get your D levels checked first then chat with your doctor about how much to take.
You want to find a vitamin D3 + K2 (I use the AG1 drops) per their website: “Athletic Greens Vitamin D3+K2 liquid drops contain the active forms of vitamin D and vitamin K2. These two essential nutrients work synergistically to support the heart, vascular system, immune system, and respiratory system, all while optimizing the delivery of calcium and minerals to the bones and teeth to add strength and protection from the deterioration caused by age, vitamin deficiency, and poor diet”.
I want a cute pair of high top sneakers, but don’t want to break the bank with Golden Goose and I don’t like converse. Any suggestions?
Alix and I just saw this super cute pair in Nordstrom this week and they are definitely in the wish list. Heather sticks to Nike’s as we have learned 😉
Can you link the new Nike’s you guys both just got?
We wear these as athleisure aka walks or just errands while looking “fit” haha. They are so comfortable.
Have you guys tried the Ambercrombie YPB activewear line? So many bloggers are posting about it, but I’m wondering if it’s actually any good?
I (Alix) have tried a few things. I like these shorts, this tennis dress, and this top. I have ordered their leggings in the past and hated them! We like to stick to Lululemon for higher end pieces and Target (best sports bras) and Amazon for more affordable options.
I love your big chunky gold earrings you’ve been wearing.. can you link?
Amazon baby.
What’s the sweater/cardigan dupe for Jenni Kayne again?
Quince and I (Heather) just got a bunch and they’re gorgeous at a fraction of the cost of Jenni but still so high quality.
What is the best book you’ve both read recently?
Heather’s favorite is Carrie Soto is Back and she’s currently reading Daisy Jones & The Six and is hooked.
Alix just finished The Family Remains (sequel to The Family Upstairs) and I really liked both. I’ve also recently like The Things We Cannot Say and The People We Keep.
I want a new workout tank that’s not super crop (no skin showing please) but not super long either. Everything seems so cropped these days.
Totally! The waist-length and Lulu is the perfect length. Covers your stomach, but it’s not going over your butt. I just got this tank and love the length, fabric is so comfortable, and the color is gorgeous (indigo blue).
xx, Alix & Heather
