I remember when I first found out about Pura Vida bracelets — I had seen Lauren Conrad mention them as good gifts on her blog. The bracelets are  so cute and colorful, but were kind of expensive to me at the time. I bought one of the Style Packs on eBay at a big discount and I really loved them. Since then I have bought a few more, but it wasn’t until recently that I thought about making my own!

On our recent trip to Alberta, Canada, we visited Nourish Bistro. Nourish Bistro is an entirely vegetarian/vegan-friendly restaurant in Banff, which we had to try out. I love it when restaurants know what “vegan” means and I like to support restaurants that are 100% vegetarian/vegan.

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. SeeĀ Disclosures here.

I recently discovered insulated water bottles and I’m not sure how I’ve managed to live this long without them. If you haven’t had an insulated water bottle, you definitely need to try one. Especially now that it’s summer, having ice cold water with me is so great. I bought a 25oz S’well bottle about a month ago and am ready to do a full review.
