AndThat! Shopping Challenge No. 3: Staycation
Darlings, I’m back with my third shopping challenge with AndThat! My challenge this time was to find all the necessary tidbits for a mini staycation right here in town.
So when planning out a little getaway in town I immediately thought of a pool day complete with drinks, snacks and all the necessities for chilling poolside.
I shouldn’t be surprised but I was when I was able to find everything I needed: adult beverages, skin protection, blankets and towels, snacks and more all from AndThat!
This challenge was easy and difficult at the same time. I was able to find everything but had trouble picking and choosing from the huge selection. After making some tough choices I managed to get everything all under $75!
That’s a steal for a mini staycation!

Stay Lovely!
AndThat! Shopping Challenge No. 2: Shop Local
Okay lovelies! I’m back with another shopping Challenge with AndThat! This time I was challenged to shop local vendors that are sold exclusively in AndThat! Jacksonville. It was amazing because I had no idea so many products were made right here in town. I got some delicious oldies but goodies and discovered new brands too that are definitely going to be on continuous rotation.
Did you know AndThat! has this entire food and wine section?! Well they do and it’s top notch. It’s the perfect place to stock up of additions for a charcuterie board for a girls night in.

I picked up everything from a marble cutting board, wine glasses and flatware. I also picked up what might be my favorite discovery, My Pepper Jelly. It is so yummy and perfect on top of a soft cheese.
I also picked up local wine from the San Sebastian Winery in St. Augustine Florida. The chardonnay is a popular choice and compliments a cheese plate so well.
Shopping at AndThat! for a girls-night-in was more of a breeze and less of a challenge. The serving pieces and flatware were beautiful but practical for everyday and special occasions. The jellies and honeys were absolutely delicious! The biggest perk was discovering new local brands and finding them at great prices.
