Update 5/16/23: Hotter Shoes for women is available to shoppers in the United Kingdom and Europe only now. The U.S. store has apparently shutdown, I’m sorry to report. However, if you’re landing on this review from someplace other than the United States, please keep reading. I love this brand, and I’m so sorry that my…
I never gave a thought to the notion of wearing sustainable workout clothes until the brand Baleaf reached out to me. I’ve been wearing their activewear for almost as long as I’ve had my Peloton. I started with their padded leggings and moved on from there. Anyway, these days I’m in their affiliate program. That…
When I first heard of the notion of a Target salvage store, I wondered if there were any near me. My research led me to Marden’s Surplus and Salvage in Maine. (We moved to Maine from Pennsylvania in mid-2023.) In case you didn’t know, a salvage store is where retailers send their excess inventory that…
I’ve just updated this Wantable Style Edit Review. A few years ago, I discovered this online styling service when an ad for Wantable showed up in my Facebook feed. The ad talked about Stitch Fix customers loving Wantable. So I was curious. In this Wantable Style Review, I’ll explain how Wantable works, how much Wantable…
I decided to write this article about the best plus size tankini bathing suits after shopping for myself. You see, I’d recently realized that it had been more than five years since I’d purchased a new swimsuit. Now, granted, five years ago we lived at the Jersey Shore. So going to the beach was no…
Before my daughter told me about Thinx period underwear, I’d never conceived of the idea of menstrual lingerie. But that’s how I got interested in learning more about what I’m calling menstrual lingerie. What is menstrual lingerie? Menstrual lingerie, as it were, goes by many different terms. Some call it period underwear or period panties….
When my girls were little and we were shopping for kids wide shoes, there were usually three defaults. One, I would buy them Crocs. Because even if Crocs didn’t come in a traditional wide width, they fit their feet. Two, if I needed dressy girls shoes, I would go with a Mary Jane style. I…
When it comes to outdoor gear companies and a product warranty, it used to be that Eddie Bauer and L.L. Bean led the pack. That was because Eddie Bauer offered a lifetime warranty or guarantee and a generous return policy. Same with L.L. Bean. However, as I learned in my popular blog post on products…
Unless you watched the reality show “Welcome to Wrexham,” you probably wouldn’t have known that Mint Mobile is one of those celebrity brands with a famous founder. That is, actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased a football club in Wales. I’m hoping to add Wrexham to my list of film and screen tourism places…
Why am I writing this review of Stitch Fix for workout clothes now? Because it’s been a few years since I last ordered a box of athletic wear from Stitch Fix. I’m working out more–what with Peloton power zone challenges, practicing yoga regularly and my strength training routine using the Peloton app. Therefore, I desperately…
I was today year’s old when I learned that magic pants are a thing in the Peloton crowd. Don’t know what magic pants are? They are leggings that people wear that are anything but black. So, they are Peloton leggings (or another brand) that have crazy designs on them. Or they are made of fabrics…
One of the issues that hold people back from signing up with an online clothing stylist service is the cost. Maybe this might be holding you back. You’re concerned that getting your clothes this way will be too expensive. What if I told you there were ways to slice $25 here and $50 there off…
As soon as we got our Peloton bike in 2016, I couldn’t wait to buy myself some Peloton workout clothes. I loved seeing the instructors wearing this cool workout gear, and I wanted some for myself. Lucky for me I’d shared my Peloton referral code with a few friends. So, therefore I had a couple…
To be honest, I never cared much about Euro to US shoe sizes until I started riding my Peloton bike in 2016. Then, I needed to purchase cycling shoes that clip in. Every place I went for my spin shoes, I was faced with sizes I’d never considered before. Or so I thought. Then I…
I write a lot about well-known brands, but until now, I’ve never focused on the lighter side and that is a trivia quiz about famous logos. That is, I recently read this article on famous companies and their logos on Stacker.com. You see, Stacker.com compiled dozens of the most famous logos of companies, corporations and…
I was shocked to discover how many items go on sale in January. I mean, I always knew about certain January sales. For example, after the holidays, you can get great deals on Christmas, Chanukah and other items. In addition, those markdowns often continue into January. However, last year’s Christmas lights or Chanukah wrapping paper…
When it comes to unique New Year’s resolutions, you may think there are none. I mean, most people, when making a New Year’s resolutions list, stick with the basics. Lose weight. Join a gym. Get finances in order. These are the popular resolutions that we hear about each year. However, I can thank the job-search…
It’s always a challenge to find the best men’s dress shoes for my husband’s wide feet. Usually, what happens is this: he finds a pair that fits his extra-extra wide foot and high arch, and then he buys multiple pairs in multiple colors. Do you do the same? Anyway, that’s great for practical reasons–buying shoes…
