A Life in Harmony Starts at Home

Comfort

Colorful Comfies

I have finally reached the point in life where nothing gives me greater joy then dressing up as a colorful tie dyed marshmallow.

If I am going to be spending more time at home, I might as well spend that time in comfort and why not experiment with looks that I would never dream of wearing outside my home. It’s not that I don’t like tie dye, I totally do, I just also recognize that it is not the most flattering/appropriate look for a somewhat well adjusted adult. Then lockdown happened and all rules were thrown out the window. I started seeing tie dye sweatsuits popping up on every corner and at every price range, and while I am not willing to throw 300+ dollars at this trend (the amount of sweatsuits in this price range is astounding), this $40.00 (Sweatshirt & Joggers) set from Target does just the trick!

The material is insanely soft inside, making this one of the most comfortable outfits I own. I love the pink and purple colors (there also is a mint green and blue set which I also love!). Is this the most flattering outfit out there? Absolutely not. Does it still spark joy? You betcha!

Align Leggings: My Wardrobe All Star

Normally I get inspiration for blog posts when I am out about. Since these days, I am all about staying in, I had to look a little closer to home for inspiration. In fact today’s post is a love letter to the pants I am currently wearing, my Lululemen 28″ Align Leggings.

I would argue these pants are truly great in many situations: traveling, working out at the gym, dressed up with a nice longer sweater or top. I personally buy the longer length because a) I am tall b) I feel like you can then wear these pants for even more occasions versus a more cropped legging.

Lately, I have been wearing them every single day for the activities shared above. My life may not be the most exciting right now, but gosh darnit am I comfortable. These pants feel like butter, and are perfect for laying on the couch and then moving five feet away to complete an at home workout. You can sit in them comfortably all day working on your computer, and you don’t have to change at the end of the day when it’s time to take the dog for a walk. Weight fluctuations a complete non issue with these bad boys. They are stretchy (but never stretch out) and comfy no matter what.

This “shelter in place” order won’t last forever, but my love of these leggings certainly will!

Target Pajamas

1. Grey Stripe 2. Green Tie Die

I always look at these pajamas whenever I am at Target. They feel so soft, and look so cute, and yet every time I am at my local Target they are out of my size. Until last week that is, when I was finally able to take one of these glorious pajama sets home.

What a week it has been :-). I seriously have worn these pajamas every night since I brought them home (don’t worry I have washed them). The material is soft and cozy but also super breathable, so I don’t wake up in the middle of the night overheating (a sadly common problem). They are also perfect for lounging at home at night and on the weekends. At only $24.99 for the set they are an awesome deal and worth every penny.

I am already looking forward to bed!

Cozy Weekend

Happy Friday from the coziest pup on the planet!

Snow is headed our way tomorrow, so I hope your weekend is as comfy and cozy as a puppy snuggled up in not one, but two, faux fur blankets!

Have a great weekend, see you back here next week!

Fallbirds

It’s Monday morning, so it feels only right to start the week off on the right foot! The temperature is dropping and everyone is starting to spend more time indoors. However, I will argue if you find yourself homebound the minute the temperature starts to drop, you don’t need to move to a warmer climate, you need to invest in better clothes.

Since walking is not only my favorite mode of transport but also a big part of my mindfulness routine, I refuse to stay inside just because the temperature drops. In fact I find cool fresh air invigorating, will take cool dry days over hot humid ones any time! That being said, I don’t particularly enjoy feeling cold, so over the years with some trial and error I have but together the perfect cold weather essentials for every temperature.

For these cooler days that still hover above freezing I highly recommend the allbirds wool runners (2&3) pictured above. They keep your feet nice and warm, but still breath so that your feet never become over heated or sweaty. They are also super comfortable and require zero break in time. I just wish it was socially acceptable to wear these shoes all the time. If you are living somewhere that is still warm, the allbirds tree sneaker (1) which is their most breathable sneaker is probably your best bet. In addition to their standard colors, allbirds recently released their fall limited edition colors pictured above (and there are even more color options on their website) that are sure to fit right in with your fall walking wardrobe.
