May Haul + Pea-Pine-Fu Smoothie

And another month is up! Time seriously flies as you get older. Here's a snapshot of last month's purchases, which should be my most expensive month ever and won't happen again:

 
 

I've been making a different smoothie everyday for A and I to bring to work for breakfast lately. He's moving on from his usual PB&J and wants to eat more healthfully so has requested smoothies now instead. It's actually very quick and easy to make and prepare so I'm happy with the change and have been picking up lots of fruits and some veggies to make them. Below is a recipe for his favorite smoothie so far :)

Pea-Pine-Fu Smoothie

Ingredients:
3/4 cup peach sorbet
3/4 cup white grape juice
1/2 cup soft silken tofu
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1-1/2 cups peeled and diced fresh peaches, frozen
1 cup diced fresh pineapple, frozen

Directions:
1. Combine the sorbet, grape juice, tofu, and lime juice in a blender.
2. Add the peachs and pineapple.
3. Blend until smooth.

* If you don't have time to freeze the fruits for 2-4 hours, add ice cubes instead to your liking (I use 6).

I pleasantly surprised him when I told him there's tofu in it, which he couldn't taste at all!

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 .

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
