table talk
What do you usually pack in your carry on?
Karissa: I usually stock my carry-on full. Phone charger, magazine/book, iPad, chapstick, lotion, and maybe even a spare outfit if we have to check luggage (always worried about it not making the trip). I try and preload my iPad with a movie or show to watch when Brad's sleeping- I CANNOT sleep on planes.
Sam: I do not fly that much but for our honeymoon recently I packed flip flops, shorts, 3 books (I finished all 3 whoops!) and a swimsuit. I was so happy to have the flip flops and shorts because our 1 hour line for customs was 85 degrees inside the Jamaican airport. I always like to include makeup wipes to freshen up and lots of gum and snacks. I'm like a kid and can't do takeoff on an airplane without my gum.
I'm planning a trip to Columbus soon, what are some of your go-to places?
Columbus has so many great places! You definitely need to check out Pins Mechanical downtown or in Dublin! We also love going to eat at Condado Tacos, Northstar Cafe, Hot Chicken Takeover, and for more upscale we love The Pearl and Forno coal fired pizza. There are also great places to go like North Market, Franklin Park Conservatory and we love shopping around at Easton!
I want to try more group exercise classes, do you ladies go to barre or have any classes you like?
Sam: I have not tried pure barre but I think I would love it since I grew up doing ballet! I really enjoy hot yoga because you feel like you sweat out a week's worth of toxins. I do find it pretty expensive to do these group classes and I mostly stick to running outside and working out in my home gym.
Karissa: I have been to Pure Barre and Barre 3 and LOVE them. I got pretty obsessed with them last spring/summer! The problem for me that it is soooo expensive - I highly recommend looking up Class Pass to see if it's in your neighborhood, it's a great way to try work out classes in your area for a pretty reasonable price, especially if you want to try things and see what works best for you!
Uber or Lyft?
Sam: Uber! I have had several hilarious and weird experiences but nothing bad!
Karissa: Uber- I feel like they have more regulations about the vehicles than Lyft, but I've had great Lyft rides too!
Can you share some cute spring sneakers? Looking for white, light grey, or a pastel.
Karissa: I've been loving these Superga sneaks but also really these Vans and these KEDS (obsessed with the KEDS x Kate Spade and KEDS x Rifle paper collections!). Also I just got these in Black/Grey but LOVE the blush pink!
Sam: I'm on the hunt too! I need to make sure they are comfortable enough to not wear socks with and refrain from giving me blisters. These are currently in my cart at Nordstrom in all white. I am also craving a pair of pink sneakers like these or these.
