Fun Things + A Giveaway

Foodblog-4131

Target is really knocking it out of the park with the Threshold line. My only complaint is that everything is spread out by department so you really have to dig to find the pockets of goodies in the store! I wish there was a complete Threshold store – or at least a big corner of Target dedicated to a display. Our Target is a bit of a haul to get to, but I went up there recently and just hadtohave this linen tray. It’s currently sitting on our dining room table with a really cute lemon lavender candle I also picked up. Love the painted mason jar look!

I have also almost purchased every single one of their kitchen canisters on various visits – like this one, this one and this one! Sadly I haven’t bitten the bullet yet because I can’t convince myself to give up counter space. And how cute are these little ones!?

The other thing I picked up – an adorable salt box! This guy does receive counter space!

Foodblog-4132

Previously our salt was in an ancient little bowl-thingy with a flip-top lid that Matt loves because Alton Brown uses one. Sure, it worked well, but it was so clunky. See it open here –>

Foodblog-4079 this !

I came home with this salt box and Matt rolled his eyes, but I love how cute it is!!! It’s much prettier on our countertops and retrieving some kosher salt from the box is easier to me than the big metal guy from before.

Have you ever heard of Pacha Cacao? It’s a “Cacao infusion” that is like tea. Caffeine free too! When I received an email offering me samples, I responded that I was intrigued but that I had disliked most chocolate teas I’d tried. Convinced I would like it, they sent me a sample anyway.

It’s actually really delicious!! I like it after dinner with a few pinches of sugar and a splash of milk. It’s not too watery (my biggest complaint of other choco-teas) at all. I wouldn’t call it full-bodied, but it’s really satisfying. I’ve been using a loose leaf tea strainer to brew it.

Holla at BareMinerals for their amazing Moxie lip gloss! I am NOT a lip gloss person – I always find it way too tacky. My hair gets stuck in it and I can’t kiss my little man without leaving goop on his cheeks. But I LOVE this kind that I picked up at my latest visit to Fashion Square Mall. I got it in Dare Devil (as recommended by the gentleman who matched my coloring) and love the look and feel. It tingles!

Moxie

These beers!! I worked with Nate of Endue baby clothes on a post for BERF and knowing we’re into craft beer, he sent me a few beers from his cousin’s brewery in California as a thank you for hosting a giveaway. All four of these Uncommon Brewers beers were delicious and creatively brewed, but I really loved the Baltic Porter! It has a touch of black licorice root that really gave it a fun twist. They are organic to boot.

And now for our giveaway! I was put in touch with Albion Fit after Caitlin had such a great experience with their bathing suits. I absolutely loved the Jaw Dropper suit she wore on her cruise and wanted something similar for all the water activities we’d have in Key West. I’m happy to sport my two-pieces, but for real playing on the beach, a one-piece is one less thing to worry about. LOVED the suit, and it fits perfectly in every way and was so comfortable for sporty activities. I liked wearing the tie in the back for a sleeker look.

Along with the suit, Albion also sent me a few of their workout clothes to try out. They are all super soft and well cut. And the best part – the ruffles!

      1. Go Long Crew  – little gray stripes and loose enough it’s perfect for layering.
      2. Petal Pant – fold-over ruffles! Plus classic black leggings.
      3. Sweet Stripe Zip – I have already gotten so many compliments on this. Love the long length.
      4. Love Racer tank – classic + supportive.

    I’m in Canada so I can’t enter the giveaway but i wanted to say you look great in the bathing suit! It’s really cute! I need something for the beach this summer (other than triathlon gear, I have very little in the way of swim stuff), so I’ll check out their line!

    I am really interested in trying their workout clothes. Do you find that they tend to run true to size, large or small? I like my work out gear a little snug so it doesn’t get in my way. I’m loving the grey/green lately!

    Reply

    • KathEats says

      I think perfectly true to size and not inflated size. Everything I ordered based on measurements was a medium and I usually wear smalls in stores.

    Hey Kath — I previously submitted a comment but I’m not sure if it went through because my internet window said there was an error with your web host (?).

    Anyway, I love the suit but was curious whether the sash got annoying after you went in the water? (Sometimes I find that extra fabric on a suit can get annoying when wet).

    I LOVED that suit on you from your vacation pictures. I would love to have one too, although the workout gear is also super cute.

    Thanks for hosting!

    I have the same problem as you with lip gloss, my hair always sticks to my lips when I wear it. I started wearing it again lately and thought it had been abnormally windy because I was constantly brushing my hair away from my face and lips, but when it happened inside I realized it is the tackiness of the lip gloss causing the problem.
