Happy Hour

| swimmie top | bottoms |

Where do you get the Everything But the Bagel seasoning because I need some!

You can get it from Trader Joe’s in the spice section!

Have you potty trained Cameron yet? We are about to potty train our second child and would love any tips and tricks you have. I have bought and read “Oh Crap! Potty Training” and plan to do that method, taking a few days off work, but there is nothing in there about the difference in potty training first kid vs. second and I imagine there will be some differences.

Cameron is not quite 2.5 years old so we haven’t started potty training him yet. I didn’t potty train my first son, Jackson, until he was close to 3 because I knew he just wasn’t ready and I also didn’t have a week free to stay home with him and get it done until his Winter Break from school. So that’s my plan for Cameron.. I will be potty training him this December while he’s out of school for a few weeks and just before his 3rd birthday. I honestly don’t think there is a huge difference in potty training between kids if you stick to the same method. Sure, my two boys are very different and have achieved milestones at different times but I think if you stay consistent with your method, it should be fine! I also use the Oh Crap potty training method and it worked for Jackson in about 3 days.. fingers crossed the same goes for Cammy.. and your second!! Good luck! Let me know how it goes!

What is your favorite overall body lotion?

Heather: I just use drugstore stuff.. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Skin Therapy Oil but I’m always on the hunt for a good skin lotion. Leave your recs in the comments!

Alix: I’m into the brands EO and Alba. You can get both brands at Target or Whole Foods.

Best planner.. ready, set, go!

We both have The Happy Planner from Amazon and LOVE! Most people don’t use planners these days but we absolutely do because we need to see our days, events and deadlines in front of us in black and white! Something nostalgic about writing it all down, right?! Anyway, this planner is great because it has space to write down top events for the month, goals for the week, an area for notes and a day by day space to write down specific ideas or reminders.

Currently searching for a good pair of joggers to wear home from the hospital with baby #2 and let’s be real, pretty much live in while I become a nursing machine!

Congrats, mama!! Joggers are the perfect going home outfit and pants to live in once you’re settled with the new babe. Check out the Lou and Grey joggers… they are ultra soft and comfortable. You can still look put together but comfort is key those first few weeks after giving birth. Our other favorites are the Lululemon Align Joggers that recently came out.. we both own a pair and wear them constantly as athleisure-wear! Love these from Lulu too!

I need a new throw blanket for my bed or couch.. what’s your favorite?

Easy. Barefoot Dreams all the way! I (Heather) carry this blanket with me all around the house and sleep with it every night.. it’s butter on my body! I have the leopard print one but if you don’t want to be that extra, get a solid color!! Expensive but not kidding.. it’s worth every penny in my opinion!

Can you both link the bento boxes you both use to pack your kid’s lunch in?

Yes! We love our bento boxes. It makes packing a lunch SO much easier, fun, and helps with portions and offering variety. Heather has these ones and Alix has this one for Quinn.

Alix can you link your leopard watch band?

I got it last week at Nordstrom Rack and cannot for the life of me find it online! I found this, this, this, and this one that are all similar and super cute!

I’m seeing you guys posting about Fabletics. How is the quality? What do you like there and how is the sizing? I’ve always wanted to try, but unsure about it.

So we have both have purchased new workout clothes from Fabletics recently and we are into it. We feel like the quality for the price point is great. Some pieces are total hits and some are misses like anywhere. To get the serious discount you need to sign up for the VIP membership and you can skip the monthly charge as often as you want. (*TIP*s get a phone alarm to go off the 1st of every month and skip it if you don’t want anything that month)

Here (absolute fave), here, and here are some bottoms we like. I (Alix) tried on these shorts and I didn’t love…I’ll stick to these Lulu for my running shorts. We both were NOT fans of the mesh side crops…they fit funny. This tank is fab and this pullover is SO comfortable!

What are your thoughts on tie dye trend? I’m seeing some bloggers wear cute shirts and sweatshirts but I’m unsure if I should invest?

Neither of us own anything tie dye (yet!) but definitly think it’s really cute. I (Alix) talked about being smarter with my trendy purchases, so hello Forever 21! This muscle tank is so cute, this kimono, this sports bra, these joggers, and this tee. I’ve been eyeing tie dye sweatshirts and love these: one, two, and three. I think this will be a fun trend for the summer!

Thanks for your questions this week! Email us at champagnetheory@gmail.com with subject Happy Hour or DM us on Instagram.

xx,
Heather & Alix
