Night and day…

Met three dear friends for an early dinner that went on until after the sun set. Great food and conversation with some great women!

The dress is @adamlippes and I borrowed it from @renttherunway. The bag is @jcrew and a splurge but I regretted not buying it the last time they offered this bag and this color is SO me. I mean, look how great it is with these many years old suede heeled sandals? Meant to be!

This color combination makes me so happy, and this dress was comfy even after a decadent meal. We all deserve to experience comfort and joy with our wardrobes! 💛🩷

If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

Are Jaybird Vistas Worth It? An Honest Review of the Waterproof Headphones

are the jaybird vistas worth it a review

Dude. The Jaybird Vista earbuds are amazing.

You know I'm serious when I use the word, “dude” as a full sentence. But seriously, I love these earbuds. I'm wearing them right now as I write this.

But dude, the Jaybird Vista earbuds are hella frustrating too.

Are Jaybird Vistas worth it? Let me break it down why the Jaybird Vista earbuds are awesome and why they are not so awesome, and why I compare them to a Wheel of Fortune prize puzzle vacation.

Are Jaybird Vistas Worth It? What Are They Exactly?

Jaybird is a brand that creates headphones for athletes. They launched their first wireless earbuds in 2006 and have been creating cutting-edge earphones ever since. Based in Park City, Utah, Jaybird strives to create well-fitting earbuds that perform in regard to activity as well as the sound you hear from them.

are the jaybird vistas worth it? I review these waterproof earbuds

The Jaybird Vista is only one of several styles of earphones offered by this brand. The Vista is unique because it is dustproof, shockproof, waterproof, and sweatproof. The battery is so long-lasting, you can get 32 hours of uninterrupted independent bud use from them. They charge fast too: five minutes of charging provides an hour of playtime with these 16-bit stereo earbuds.

The Jaybird Vistas are $179.99 on the Jaybird website and they offer free shipping. These earbuds are also $179.99 at Best Buy. Most colors are $179.99 at Target, but colors occasionally go on sale for $150. On Amazon, you can find Jaybirds starting at $125. I purchased mine online at Best Buy and they arrived at my door the next morning.

Shop Jaybird Vista Earbuds Online:

The Jaybird Vistas have a one year limited warranty and a 30-day money back guarantee. I found it took over 30 days to decide whether they were a keeper because as I mentioned above, they are both awesome and frustrating. I personally found the awesome outweighed the frustrating and decided to keep them.

Why are Jaybird Vista Earbuds so Awesome?

Why are these earbuds so amazing? My top reasons:

  • They're noise-canceling
  • They're waterproof
  • They have great sound
  • The battery lasts a long time
  • They're cute

Reason #1: Jaybird Vista Earbuds are Waterproof

Yes the Jaybird Vista earbuds are waterproof! Like you can swim laps in them waterproof. You can wear them in the hot tub or the bath. You can take a long shower while wearing them. And if you're one who tests the limits of sweatproof headphones, these will pass the test. I have yet to find any other pair of earbuds that can do this AND sound great.

Reason #2: Jaybird Vista Earbuds Have Great Sound

The sound from my Jaybird Vista earbuds is far better than my Powerbeats Pro earbuds, and rival the over-the-ear headphones I used for travel. Clear, crisp, great bass, good balance, I'm highly impressed. Jaybird is known for audio quality as well as technology and it shows.

reviewing the jaybird headphones app

On top of that, the Jaybird app helps you customize your sound for your needs. Listening to hip-hop? Podcasts? You can create different profiles. They even had this cool program where you slide up until you hear sounds so it can factor in your specific hearing.

Reason #3: Jaybird Vista Earbuds are Noise-Canceling

The noise-canceling aspect wasn't something I thought would matter during the ‘demic but it has been a Godsend. When the family is living life and I am on a deadline, I can put in my Jaybird Vistas, even without playing any music, and can better get into a writing zone. Construction outside, kids fighting in the living room, partner or roommate on a conference call, the chance to take a mid-afternoon nap… there are so many times when a pair of noise-canceling earbuds feel like a necessity.

Reason #4: The Jaybird Vista Case and Earbuds Hold a Serious Charge

The battery is great, better than my Powerbeats Pro. I don't wear these all day (see below why), but I can wear them for an hour, leave them out of their case all night long, wear them again for an hour or so, leave them out of the case all day long, and that evening put them in and they will state they are 90% charged.

The case holds a charge super long; put your dead Jaybird Vistas into it and within ten minutes you're at 50% charged. I can see how helpful this will be when I am traveling again; I can tuck the case in my pocket or bag, even pin it in place or hook to my keyring and have a place to store the earbuds and ensure they're truly getting recharged.

Reason #5: I Think the Jaybird Vistas are Cute

And from a completely superficial standpoint… I love it when earbuds are available in fun colors. These come in black, gray, but also a gorgeous shade of teal and a beautiful deep green. The case is a nice slim shape, has a magnet closure for security, a strap to make it easy to carry or weed out of a bag. The only negative is when charging the case, the charging light is SUPER BRIGHT. But the light goes out once you unplug.

My husband got the Jaybird Vista earbuds for my birthday this past January and they are one of the greatest gifts I've ever received. And while I love them… they also suck. Let me explain…

Why are Jaybird Vista Earbuds Not So Awesome?

Reason #1: I Struggle to Get a Good Fit with the Jaybird Vistas

The Jaybird Vista earbuds fit in my ears relatively comfortably, but not for a long period of time. Less than an hour is my max before my ears start hurting. And while they'll stay in place for a walk or washing dishes or even taking a shower, they easily pop out if I tried doing any major activity. I think they'd be fine for swimming laps, but if I were trying to do a flip turn, I'd likely have one fall to the bottom of the pool.

are the jaybird vistas worth it

The earbuds come with size 2 ear gels on them and two more sets of ear gels – one bigger, one smaller. Thing is, the size 2 ear gels are the only ones with the little loop that fits into your ear cartilage to hold them in place. I think I'd do better with the smallest size, but without that do-hickey on it, they fell off if I shook my head.

Let's be honest, this is pretty standard for earbuds. Either they don't stay in, or they hurt… and a lot of them can claim both issues. They are comfortable enough to listen to a podcast while cleaning the bathroom, take a shower so long I run out of hot water, or furiously write this review while my daughter is doing virtual school without headphones and my husband is riding the Peloton, also without headphones.

Reason #2: The Jaybird Vistas Aren't Reliable

When you own a pair of waterproof earbuds, the whole family wants to borrow them. My daughter wanted to listen to her favorite tunes during a shower so I let her try my Jaybird Vistas. She came to me after the shower looking so forlorn and guilty. “I think I broke your earbuds, Ma.” The right earbud stopped working mid-shower.

I dried them off and tried them with my phone… and they worked just fine. I said it must have been a glitch, she did nothing wrong. But then that night when wanting to listen to a Peloton guided meditation before bed, the left earbud wasn't working.

I did some Googling, and found others who had similar issues of having one or both Jaybird Vista earbuds stop working. I found a tutorial for a hard reset and tried it. It worked… but the next day the left earbud stopped working again. But the following morning, it was right as rain. Then two days later the audio was so faint on both earbuds I had it to max and could hardly hear. Next day… normal.

The Jaybird app isn't just for creating custom music profiles, it also has fitting guides, how-to guides, and support. I went to the Vista support tab and followed the instructions in it to hard reset, soft reset, and all its other methods of “fixing” the problem. This also helped temporarily but a few days later again one earbud stopped working.

jaybird vista review

But what I realized was the hard reset stopped the audio level issues and the non-working earbud issue was always temporary. And sometimes, I could press the earbud to turn it off or on and that would resolve the situation. And the times that it didn't resolve it… it was still better than no noise-canceling waterproof earbuds. Just like a meh vacation is better than no vacation at all. Because when you're in the middle of a ‘demic, you're willing to take meh just to have a getaway. So yeah, I think the Jaybird Vistas are worth it.

What About Cheaper Waterproof Headphones?

When I received my Jaybird Vista earbuds as a gift, I didn't even know waterproof headphones were a thing. But I did some research and yeah, there are a bunch on the market, many created specifically for swimming.

And if you are looking for waterproof headphones specifically for swimming, I found that the ones that are connected by a cord are the most popular so you don't have one fall to the bottom of the deep end when you do a flip turn.

Shop Waterproof Headphones and Speakers:

The thing is, all the rave reviews for other brands of waterproof headphones focus on security and fit, but admit the sound quality is kinda meh. And they're not usually noise-canceling. So they are great, you may find one better for you, but for my needs, I'm loving my Jaybird Vista headphones.

The Jaybird Vista Earbuds are Like a Wheel of Fortune Prize Puzzle Vacation

My husband and I love Wheel of Fortune and watch it almost every night. We both grew up on the show, and are pretty good at solving puzzles before the contestants.

But our favorite part is guessing the location of the vacation prize puzzle, and then rating the resort or hotel for the prize based on the photos and video clips used on the show.

Ooooh… that hotel chose to only use close-ups of lattes, palm trees, and the corner of the pool? That's going to be like that hotel they put us up in one night when our 1999 vacation flight home was canceled. That hotel had a nice lobby but roaches and bedbugs.

But that vacation from last Tuesday's Wheel of Fortune episode? That hotel looks decent. Kind of reminds me of the one we were in before our flight was canceled. The food was really mediocre and the room didn't appear to have been updated in 30 years but it was clean and the staff was helpful and it was a fun trip. If I won that prize puzzle, I'd take that trip.

The Jaybird Vista earbuds are like that prize puzzle vacation that is good enough that you'd take. They're not an all-expenses-paid trip to the Four Seasons, but they're a Wheel of Fortune getaway to a Caribbean locale on a chilly winter weekend. So are Jaybird Vistas worth it? These earbuds aren't perfect but they're just what the doctor ordered when you need some quiet and the feeling of escape and luxury in the middle of a pandemic.

This is not a paid review; my earbuds were purchased with our own money. I have no relationship with Jaybird. I am not an expert or an athlete and when looking for Jaybird Vista reviews they were all by review sites, paid reviews, or by athletes. Wanting a review from an ordinary person like me inspired me to write this review. I hope you find it helpful!

    Earbuds always hurt my ears or didn’t stay in until I tried my husband’s set that came with memory foam covers for the ear bits. Game changer!!! They conform to fit your ear canal perfectly.

    Our sets are cheap Mpow ones from Amazon because we have small children so we can’t have nice things. But I’m pretty sure they sell the memory foam bits on their own so you can try them on your ear buds.

      I have the MPOW Mpow M12 Bluetooth earbuds from ye ol’ Amazon and really like them. Total game changer for the gym, where I was always catching and yanking out a corded earbud. They don’t have memory foam covers but the small cover works well. They charge fast and last a long time. The listing says waterproof, but the description says splashproof so I wouldn’t chance a swim. I paid around $35 CDN, so I’m guessing dead cheap in the US.

      They look super dorky but whatever, for the price and functionality I’ll take it.

    Thanks for this great review. I have Soundpeats wireless earbuds purchased from Amazon (yes, I know) for about $27.00. While I don’t know if they are considered waterproof, I do sweaty jump rope workouts and they work and fit just fine (although very occasionally one will fly out of my ear). My point in mentioning this product is that it does much of what the Jaybirds do for a fraction of the cost and if someone wanted to try out the wireless earbud concept, I recommend these as a great place to start.

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

Ladies who lunch…

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.

I’ve been raving about my Printfresh pajamas for years, my family also wanted to try them. Thank you Printfresh for gifting these for our annual three generation girls’ getaway to Rehoboth Beach, DE. We had a great time and being all matchy matchy in our pajamas was a fun addition! 🐅🍃🥰
