Happy Hour

hat | sunglasses | sunglasses chain | cover up

I’m looking for new black barstools and I have credit to Wayfair, so I was going to check there first. Can you link a few you like?

one | two | three | four are all very clean and simple barstools

I want some cute and inexpensive sunglasses for Summer.. maybe some from Amazon. Can you link your favorite sunglasses for less?

Yes! I have every single one of these sunglasses linked below:

What are some of your summer makeup “must-haves?”

Anything with a glow/dewy finish! Here are some of my staples for summer:

I want some new sheets for summer! Something light, cool, and affordable.

Our favorite sheets for a good price are at Target and we both have this set! But if you’re ever looking to spend more on sheets, these are worth the splurge.

What bars do you like right now? I need to stock up on some to have around for emergency snacks.

At first we were like.. bars?! We aren’t going to bars hah! Heather sticks to Perfect Bars and loves the Peanut Butter, Almond Butter, and Mint Chocolate Chip ones the best!

Alix likes Perfect bars as well and have actually been getting the kids size ones from Target because they are the “perfect” snack size. I also like Rx, Lara, Go Macro, and Bulletproof collagen bars when in a pinch.

Can you link some cute hair accessories for the summer?

Love throwing my hair in a bun and adding a headband to look pulled together- esp during the summer months. Here are some cute accessories:

Can you link your cute, customized Starbucks cup from that Etsy shop I always see on Instagram stories?

Here is the Etsy shop I got my cup from, but it looks like she is just selling downloads right now and not the cups. She gets really backed up, but keep checking to see if she restocks. You can use the code THECHAMPAGNETHEORY for 10% off. I also found this shop selling a similar cup!

I am just getting into matcha tea and want to make my own lattes at home. What matcha mix do you recommend and what do you add to it, if anything? I tried one matcha mix that was super sweet and realized it had 8 g of added sugar and then I tried another with no added sugar and it was gross.. so I need something good but low sugar! Help!

Yes so many matcha powders contain added sugar (errr Starbucks) and that’s why they taste so good lol! I just got this matcha from Whole Foods, but Moon Juice makes a good matcha and Vital Proteins makes a matcha collagen powder I’m interested in trying. Four Sigmatic is a brand I love and they make a good matcha as well. There are other good options on Thrive Market. Basically look for a ceremonial organic powder that does not contain added sugars. If you want to sweeten it up a bit you can add a few drops stevia or maple syrup.

I typically whisk in a tsp of matcha powder into a few ounces of boiling hot water then add in my steamed almond or oat milk. Oat milk is sweeter and creamy so tastes good with the matcha, but if I use unsweetened almond milk I will add a few drops of stevia to it.

Do you have any Miranda Frye jewelry and if so, what are your favorite pieces? Do you have a discount code?

We don’t have a discount code but so many bloggers do.. Itsy Bitsy Indulgences, Fashion Jackson and Somewhere, Lately all have codes so check their pages but here is what I (Heather) own and love/wear daily/shower in: Fashion Jackson Bracelet London Bracelet Mila Necklace + Hope Charm

Are you girls eyeing anything on the Lululemon online sale?!

Love the sculpt tank, my favorite long sleeve for runs, on the fly pants are so comfortable, and the in movement tights are awesome for high intensity workouts. Align pant on sale and this belt bag is on sale for $19! You know I’m obsessed with mine 😉

Alix- can you link the white and black striped leggings you were wearing in stories?

Here they are and size large is the only size left. They are on major sale so if this is your size snag them! I found a similar pair from Lululemon that I love!

What is the difference between the align pant and the align II pant from Lululemon? I also need a new pair of leggings (mostly for lounging) would you recommend the align or wunder unders?

I didn’t exactly know the right answer to this question so I chatted online with someone from Lulu (yep I’m a nerd!) and they said the difference is that the align II pant has a hidden waistband and the align pant has a standard waistband. I like these wunder unders more for working out, but they are still comfortable if just walking, running errands, or hanging out. If you want leggings strictly for lounging then 100% go with the aligns…nothing is more comfortable! The align joggers are a really nice option for lounging too.

Thanks for your questions this week! Send us more via champagnetheory@gmail.com or via Instagram!
