Leggings, coffee & dry shampoo!! 💓

Who doesn’t love the #legginglife right!? 

Im all for a good pair of jeans & heels every now& then, but that’s most def not my everyday #reallife ... especially being a busy homeschooling special needs Mom! Not that you need a prerequisite to LOVE living in leggings. You basically just need to LOVE being comfortable! 😬

.

So, anyhow, I know I promised you all a product review of my current Fav’s.... the Black Solid Leggings from SimpleAddiction.com

They are the most important basic staple to a comfortable, practical, functional yet easily adaptable wardrobe. 

One can never go wrong purchasing a pair of simple BLACK LEGGINGS because they are a multiple use , basic staple type item. 

 I put these Black Solid Leggings  on & the comfort level is to the point that I don’t even feel like I’m wearing pants!😂😂They are on the thin side as far as the fabric goes (hence the barely even feeling them!)  which at first made me a little hesitant about them if I’m being honest. BUT, it’s actually the very same thing that I wound up loving most about them because it actually makes them all the more versatile! They are still just thick enough to be worn on their own with a cute Tunic or cozy loose sweater ,but yet also 
pair perfectly under cute little dresses or skirts. They fit perfectly snug against my skin with no puckering or 
gathering when I kneel or sit & even a slim fitting knee high boot easily glides right over them with no bunching!

 I have worn mine for everything from Pajamas & lounge wear around the house ,long neighborhood walks and playground fun with the kiddos & then dressed them right up and fit for a “night out” with a cute dressy tunic & knee 

high boots or heels! I’ve also found that they will make the BEST base layer for under the upcoming winter season 

clothing, especially for all those winter activities that require the dreaded layers of winter gear 🥶. At least I know I can 

just slide the snow pants right on over these & upon 

returning to the warmth of the indoors I can slide off the 

snow pants & be good2go! The perfect dual purpose under 

layer turned main layer item!!👌

        I also absolutely love the high waist! It doesn’t dig in at all like others I’ve had and being its thin it doesn’t feel like an extra bulky layer under your shirt. It is a true high waist that stays in place without sliding down which means no matter how low I squat or bend while chasing the kids or climbing around and regardless of my shirt length they always have perfect full coverage without having to tug and readjust! 

Just a really great basic Staple item to have a few pairs of... 

and the price makes that easily doable!! Find them on 
SimpleAddiction.com & while there definitely shop around 
for some other colors and patterns as well as super cute 

tops, dresses, accessories and more!

Or, to get right to the leggings use this link: Black Solid Leggings
I find the fit true to size and because they are thin with a lot of stretch the sizing is forgiving. I went with size “TEEN” which is the equivalent of XS which is my typical size for leggings and I find the fit just right.

Check them out! Hope you love!! 💓

Eating Out while Eating Clean in CT series : “Hidden Gems” part A

Fav hidden gems to Eat Clean in CT!

I won’t waste your time getting all wordy... I’ll just jump right in to the part you’re reading this for... without further ado, just a few of UniquelyBusyMom’s fav little spots to stop in for some delicious food that doesn’t compromise a healthy dietary style & offers easy to order GF and Vegan dishes!

1:Georgie’s Diner of West Haven,CT.

This place is a  small little hidden diner that  classifies as what most would call a hole-in-the-wall diner. It’s adorable tiny little classic vintage trailer shaped diner is nestled right in next to some large vacant looking old factory buildings & across from a shopping plaza off the main path. It’s is hands down the most extensive Gluten free And vegan menu Ive ever personally found anywhere at all! Take a look for yourself below! This is just a sneak peek: 

The prices may be higher than your standard diner, but this is not standard diner fare (though they do 

serve that as well, so it totally pleases EVERYONE!) 

Coffee w/ Almond milk... yes please!! No dairy...no worries... they’ve got you covered!

Classic egg sandwich minus the gluten. Organic, cafe free eggs only!

 

Feeling like a “cheat treat” that doesn’t actually cause you to majorly cheat? How about GF French toast w/ bananas and walnuts and REAL maple syrup!?

.

And don’t think of this little gem as a breakfast only sort of joint... they have such an extensive menu that it’s a wonderful stop for lunch , dinner & dessert! The only thing they’re missing in my book is some later hours for those fun little late night treats!!

2: Shoreline Diner & Vegetarian enclave in Guilford CT.This is actually the sister restaurant to 

Georgie’s... so they’re very similar in menu, with this location being much larger and have a bar as 

well. Their GF breads are baked fresh here for both locations! They are extremely allergen conscious

 and label their menu with the top 7 allergens. They are also a peanut free facility. A TOP recommendation for breakfast lunch dinner and dessert! You pay a bit more , but you are getting it in quality organic and healthy ingredients, fresh made deliciousness minus the worry about breaking your clean eating style!

GF and VEGAN TEMPEH Tacos!! 💯

GF Carrot cake... Ok, so it’s not going to top  the “healthy” chart, BUT sometimes you need cake!! And this is fresh baked, with real ingredients!

Stay tuned for some more Top Spots here in CT....
