March Haul + Antioxidant Smoothie

Now that it's April, here's a summary of my purchases from last month:


I don't think I've been doing a great job of minimizing my shopping since I was unable to fit everything into one photo this time but I know I'll never fully be able to stop shopping so am content with how things are going. There are two items I haven't mentioned in any posts above and I just want to quickly say that Zappos has great customer service so I had a free gift card to use due to an inconvenience so decided to pick up a bunch of things to try and ended up keeping Flojos Jane 2-pair Variety Pack flip-flops, which are surprisingly very comfortable with a cushy foot bed and the Obey Berlin Laptop Case, which is also very cushy and I don't feel like my current case is protective enough for my Macbook Air (which I got for free - somewhat - from using my credit card points!). If you shop as much as I do and haven't been paying attention to your points, try taking a peek at how many you have - it can be surprising how much you've saved up! :)

A likes to drink protein powder when he works out so I decided to try making a smoothie with some to see how it would taste and I have to say I actually enjoyed it. I won't be making this too often since I prefer to eat rather than drink my calories but it will definitely be a great option when I need something quick on the go or to have half of it as a  post-gym snack.


BRIETTA'S ANTIOXIDANT SMOOTHIE
Ingredients:
3/4 scoop protein powder
1 cup blueberries
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 tablespooon honey
1 cup almond milk

Directions:
Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Leaving you with the fortune cookie quote, "Keep your plans secret for now."

February Haul + Breakfast Bagel Strata Recipe

Image
The very last item I picked up from H&M that broke the buy and return cycle was a $2 striped tee that I thought would be a nice basic to have - I can't wait until the day I can have a bigger closet so I can actually see all the pieces I own - I might end up finding a few more basic stripes tees but when I picked it up, I didn't think I had one. :) I was browsing Insta Stories and came across some cute Target finds so made a large purchase at 3AM when I was up from baby B: Left: Denim Trucker Jacket in XS Light Acid Wash . Right: Button-Front Quilted Jacket in XS Blue.

Hermes Toolbox 20 Review!

Image
A long time ago, I used to covet the Hermes Birkin bag, as I'm sure many have since it's so elusive. Since then, I switched over to pine after the Hermes Kelly bag instead, after I saw it on Wendy Nguyen from Wendy's Lookbook here . She's a fellow petite and it just looked so nice on her! Over time though, and especially after baby A, I see how such a bag is definitely not practical for me and if I were to spend a small fortune on a bag, I'd want one that I would actually use more often. The Kelly has a thin strap and is quite structured, which is what I like about it, but in reality is too classy for my weekends. It wasn't until I went to Athens, posted about here , that I tried on the Hermes Toolbox 20 and fell for it. It was in a beautiful royal blue color but I already have a Celine in that same color (seen here ) but that bright color and how it hung on me were the reasons I really liked it so much. I realized I wouldn't love the bag in a beige or deep

Canada Goose: Fusion Fit Reviews

Image
I'm finally done with exhausting all the options of Canada Goose coats and have to say that the Fusion Fit is definitely made to perfectly fit petites. Out of the three that I tried on, the Rossclair , Shelburne , and Trillium , they all have the perfect sleeve length but the hoods are all still too big in proportion and cover my whole face when worn. The Canada Goose Rossclair Parka Fusion Fit definitely fits much better than the normal Rossclair as shown here . I still like this Military Green color the best along with Black and like these large buttons better than the small loop ones on the Kensington but still prefer the ease of snap buttons to these. Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit in XXS Graphite The Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit is the only one of the three that does not have an adjustable bungee cord at the inner waist so the shape of this one is much more boxy. The sleeves of this one are also a bit longer than the others, though still much be
