Mom Tips & Advice

A couple of months ago, in what I would later describe to my husband as an “accident”, I let my 14-day free trial of Instacart roll into a year-long subscription. To quote Bob Ross, it turned out to be a “happy little accident” indeed. In my case, however, my happy little accident cost me $99, but somehow, gave me what feels like my whole life back. Here’s how having my groceries delivered managed to change my entire life—and why I’ll never be going back to grocery shopping in person again.

"Before trying on Leonisa leggings, my only other experience with shapewear was with the classic Spanx. Maybe I didn’t get the right size or maybe it’s because I vividly remember how uncomfortable it was. But my tune changed when I gave the tummy sculpting leggings, activewear leggings and multifunctional bra from Leonisa a try. Shapewear that feels more like a firm hug and less like it’s cutting off your circulation? I had no idea something like that existed."
