In The Moment: Things I Love on November 7, 2019

What a week, friends! Between the day job getting hectic, taking on a small freelance project, and getting ready for a girls’ weekend getaway to New Buffalo, it’s been a little cray!

I’m going to keep this short and sweet and jump right into the things I love …

In The Moment: Things I Love on November 7, 2019

1. Lily & Drew Tote Bag | 2. Adidas Tennies | 3. Yellow LOFT Scarf | 4. Now and Then | 5. At Home Yoga

Lily & Drew Tote Bag

The makers of The Backpack did it again with their new travel tote design. They were sweet enough to send me one to test out and, while it will never replace my Longchamp, here are a couple reasons why I love it. First, it has so many pockets! Everything in my Longchamp just gathers at the bottom, but not in this guy. The organization freak in me is happy. Second, it’s padded – it makes me feel a lot more comfortable slinging my bag around when my laptop is in it. Third, it has a zipper on the back that opens up to let you slide the bag over a suitcase handle – basically, it will be great for travel!

Because the team at Lily and Drew are basically the best, they’re giving all my readers 20% off their backpacks and some of their new tote bag designs. Use this link and you’ll see the discount in your cart at checkout!

Adidas Tennies

Since the weather is cooling down and fairly unpredictable, my workouts have been venturing outside of strictly running. I’m pretty picky and spend a lot of money on my true running shoes and I was getting annoyed that I was breaking them down in workouts like dance and strength training where I don’t need as much support. I got these barely lilac Adidas shoes for under $40 on Amazon, and they’re perfect for what I need. The reviews mentioned squeaky soles, and they were right, but they also said that it stops after a couple of weeks – I’ll keep you posted!

Yellow LOFT Scarf

I see you, LOFT, with your cute spring / summer stuff on mega sale!! I’m talking $8 dress, $6 shorts, and tons and tons of accessories. I grabbed a couple of summery scarves for cheap and love this yellow floral. Is it April yet??

Now and Then

If you watch my Instagram stories, you’ll have seen the major news (that came out in August but I somehow missed). My favorite movie of. all. time. Is FINALLLLLLLY streaming on Netflix! So yes, literally 2 hours after I saw an article about this, I sat down to watch Now and Then. If you haven’t seen it yet, please make your weekend plans accordingly. If you have, I know you’re already heading toward the remote.

At Home Yoga

I mentioned above I’ve been exploring new workouts given the chilly temps and a couple weeks ago I talked about a new at-home fitness app I’ve been using called Obé (going to talk more about them next week). One night last week I started a fire in the fireplace and put down my yoga mat for the most glorious half hour of “candlelit” yoga before bed. I also did a session in the morning over the weekend which was a lovely way to start the day. Yoga in a class is fine, but yoga at home while your cat tries to snuggle is honestly even better.

PS. If you’re interested in Obé Fitness and don’t want to wait for the full report next week, sign up using code CLAIRE30 for a free week trial and 30% off your first month!
