I was searching for comfortable but reasonably cute walking shoes for vacation and ordered these. They feel incredible. Easily the most comfortable shoes I've put on. I hope they hold up well too. (although, now that I link, I realize the ones they sent me are a little different and the wrong ones. But, a serious win so I'll keep them. lol.)
I got an air fryer for Christmas. Anyone have one? I've used it a couple times but I'm not overly impressed. Not sure what to try in it next.
DH got a Ninja Coffee Bar. It's taking a little practice to get the ratios right but we are really liking it so far. Any recommendations on coffee? We usually brew Starbucks but I'm up to trying something new.
bk1 I also got an air fryer. We were not impressed and returned if. The few foods we tried to make (coconut shrimp and fried calamari) did not come out good at all.
Also, I’m 8 months into my second kid and just today got a bottle warmer. We’ve previously been warming bottles in hot water but this is so much easier. I have no idea why I waited so long.

Hmm I'm glad we didn't get an air fryer! One of the DJs on a local station raves about his but I'm glad to know you guys weren't impressed. We got an instant pot (well, crock pot brand) but haven't used it quite yet. I can barely throw something in the oven. Lol. Hopefully soon we can try it!
I HATE zippers on sandals so I like the ones you got too! I'm going to look at ECCO sandals now. My Birkenstocks died from abuse after 1 year and I haven't got the bottom replaced yet.
I got an Instant Pot for Christmas and now I'm obsessed. It's like using a slow cooker but I can cook at the last second! Only issue I have is remember it needs like 10 minutes to warm up so a 4 minute cook time is actually 14 minutes.
Blue Moon: We got a travel one and I think if we had gone with electric I would have tried harder to pump & bottle feed. I want the Breeza thing that steams & purées. A person was selling one online but it sold fast and I'm too cheap to pay full price when I don't know how long I'll need it for.
Should I buy this maternity/nursing dress? Link Today is the last day for an extra 20% off. I don't need more nursing clothes but I love dresses and the dual purpose nature calls me.
suzv we have been using hot water too and it just dawned on me that a bottle warmer might be quicker. Like I said, I can't believe it took me this long to come to that realization.
I had a bottle warmer and hated it. We stopped using it after 3 months. I though hot water was faster, and I wanted E used to drinking cold milk so we didn't have to worry about warming up bottles when away from the house.

It's nms. I never liked nursing clothes that have that band of fabric across the front. To me, that makes it obvious that it's a nursing top/dress.
pooh8402: I have a few pieces from this company and that's definitely true. But as a large chested gal, the style is way easier for me to use so I've just kind of accepted it.

Ah see I'm small chested, so we need different things! I did the 2-shirt method, or wore nursing camis under wrap dresses.
My LLR black leggings are my favorite piece of clothing ever.
A few book recommendations from my recent reads: The Child Finder (it contains hard to read stuff on child abductions, as a warning), The Hate U Give, and The Martian.
Anyone have a good face moisturizer that isn't $$$$?
krystee shockingly I've loved the Palmer's night cream. It's $9 and some targets have it in stock. Mine doesn't so I get it online. I saw a visible difference in skin clarity and tone after a week of using it.
I finally ordered some new bras to try, but I’m still waiting for them to show up. Shipping was delayed last week because of the storms on the east coast, and now FedEx says they aren’t scheduled to be delivered until 1/20. :’(
krystee, I love my Origins moisturizer but it's $25 at Ulta and Sephora. I add a couple drops of rose hip oil from The Ordinary (another like $7) to make it more moisturizing for winter.

What brand did you get? I think you're a small 28 or 30 band size, right? I always hate paying for that size. I ended up getting two 32's at VS during their sale. I know they won't last more than a year, but at $20 a piece it's easier to stomach. Let me know if you find one you love!

Yeah, I fluctuate between 28F - 28GG, depending on where I am in my cycle. My ribcage actually measures 26, so I don’t have much wiggle room to move up in band size without them getting so loose that I lose all of the support, which really sucks.
I ended up ordering three bras from Lively. They’re S/M/L rather than regular bra sizes, so I’m hoping they’ll be a more flexible option with the amount of cup size fluctuation I’ve had since I went off BC. None of my bras fit anymore because they’re getting so stretched out over and over and over again.
katespade , Never heard of that company but those look so comfortable. I now have 4 sitting in my cart. I should probably wait until you get yours before I bother ordering. When are yours supposed to arrive? lol. My rib cage measures 28, so I'm a little closer to the 32 than you. I just hate getting 32's and them riding up my back. Some brands are perfectly tight though.
Can you also let me know if the bralette light padding is sewn in or removable? I HATE removable liners. They get lost and wrinkled.
ETA: Have you tried ThirdLove? They have more expansive sizing.
amaranth - Right now, FedEx says they’re scheduled to arrive on 1/20. I’ll definitely report back once I get them!
I looked at ThirdLove, but they don’t have much in my cup size. Nothing that could pass as a regular bra, at least (everything I found in my size was sports bra style).
katespade: Let is know how they fit! I find bralettes and shelf bras frustrating because they tell me to size up for cup size but that makes the band worthless.
@opal - Yeah, I’m definitely concerned about that. I went with a small, which is the size I buy for sports bras, and I’m just crossing my fingers that it’ll somehow work. lol.
