Happy Tuesday Upload!

Happy lululemon upload!

What did you like best from today’s upload? I bet you ordered the align tank! I have a few pieces in my shopping cart right now. The lululemon lab Textured Grid High-Rise Short. I felt the lululemon lab Textured Grid Cropped Pullover in store a few days ago and it is incredibly soft and cozy. I was tempted but I didn’t buy it because it’s cropped, and I’m done with cropped tanks and hoodies – except for the align tank. The lululemon align tank is ❤️. The length of the lululemon shorts are the perfect inseem! Also in my shopping cart is the new Ribbed Micro-Modal Tank Top in two colors. I love the blue and the linen, but I might add the black later if the fit is great.

Call out for writers:

The Sweat Edit is ramping up content in the next few weeks and I’m looking to add some writers to my team. I’ve had guest blog posters in the past specifically for fit-reviews, but now I’m wanting to welcome some editors, and contributing writers to my team for longer form content.

This is a great opportunity if you are already a content creator, blogger, or influencer and have an interest in writing more articles, and you would like to share your voice with our community.

If you have experience writing, or have an interest in writing, and you would be interested in a side-gig writing articles, email me at [email protected] with a writing sample. I’d love to add editors from our own community.

lululemon what’s new

by Cristina April 12, 2022

this weeks lululemon upload

Happy Upload! Can you believe we are already in mid-April? It feels like mid-February was only last week.

Today we got a great new color introduced. Java! I’m a sucker for rich browns. The Java align crops are currently sitting in my basket. I’m excited to see new nude tones in the Energy Bra (twilight rose, contour, pale linen, java). These colors should be standard in all the bras.

These colors are so great for monochromatic outfits, but I also really love them for wearing under light, slightly sheer tops. I have a white essential tank top I love but all of my bras show through and a nude color, even a dark nude like java would look so much nicer.

By the way, I tried on the Relaxed Mid-Rise Cargo Crops at the lululemon near me and they are a no go for me. They look nice enough but they fit on the smaller size (lack stretch) and the material feels warm. The Metropolis Maven Hi-Rise Crops from last year are my favourite and I think I was hoping for the same cottony feeling light-weight material. Hopefully we get those back this year, or a version like them.

Did you guys get anything today? Let me know in the comments.

Beauty Body Hair Removal

All about sugaring hair removal and sugar waxing

by Cristina April 11, 2022

written by Cristina

This is everything you need to know about brazilian sugar waxing

Bikini season is upon us, and many women are seeking hair removal alternatives that are less painful and less expensive than traditional waxing or shaving. You’ve probably heard people mention sugaring, or sugar waxing, but you may not know what it is or how it works – and that’s where this guide comes in!

Sugaring hair removal involves the use of a sugar paste, which hardens quickly when applied to skin and can be easily removed with warm water.

Are you looking for an alternative to waxing? I was. My skin is extremely sensitive and doesn’t react well to traditional waxing. By all means you should definitely give sugaring a chance!

What is sugaring hair removal wax (also called sugar paste)

The wax is actually a caramelizad sugar ball (or paste) that uses caramelized sugar, water and lemon as the main ingredients. It’s cooked to a specific temperature creating a soft moldable paste that you can form into a ball. Considered to be the most natural and organic method of hair removal, it uses all-natural ingredients. This is great for people who want to remove hair from certain areas of their bodies but don’t want to use products made of potentially toxic synthetic chemicals. It’s also great for those of us with very sensitive skin.

Here is an at home recipe for sugaring wax

What kind of results can I expect?

This hair removal is a gentle hair removal process that doesn’t use wax, so it’s kinder on your skin than the traditional waxing method. This paste removes hair from the follicle at its root to prevent regrowth, unlike shaving or other depilatory methods that only remove hair from the surface of the skin. Sugaring also helps exfoliate your skin gently, helping prevent ingrown hairs. It’s important to realize the reduction in waste from sugaring. If you shave or use a depilatory cream, obviously you may see short regrowth in day or two. With sugaring, most people experience smooth skin for three to six weeks after their treatment.

Regrowth timing depends on what body part has been treated. Bikini wax or brazilian, you can expect 5-6 weeks. Armpits take about 2 weeks to regrow. Surprisingly, regrowth will grow back softer and finer as well making each subsequent treatment easier and easier. In the long run, you are better off sugaring than shaving more frequently.

Who is a good candidate for sugaring hair removal?

So who is a good candidate for sugaring? Everyone! It’s safe on all skin types and colors because no heat is involved—which also means it’s great for sensitive areas like faces or bikinis lines. It’s especially great for those of us with sensitive skin who can’t use other methods.

Just remember, you can’t sugar wax, likewise any type of skin removal waxing if you have used retin-a products recently. To clarify, you should be two weeks from your last retin-a treatment.

What is the aftercare for sugar waxing?

1. The day of your sugaring appointment – Do nothing! make sure you’ve not exfoliated for a few days prior to your appointment.

2. Two days after your appointment – Exfoliate with a dry bod brush and follow up with moisturizing body oil.

3. Repeat every other day until your next appointment.

Given these points, will you be trying sugaring hair removal or sugaring Brazilian hair removal?

Here are the best products for post sugar waxing care

lululemon what’s new

Let's see what's new this week at lululemon

Happy Upload! This weeks upload is so good! We have the new contoured fit wunder trains that dropped today. I’m not sure what that means fit-wise but I wonder if it’s the same as ‘Asia fit’, rebranded for North America. We also got some new Spring bottoms called Relaxed Mid-Rise Cargo Crop and pants. I ordered the crops in black to try out so I will share a fit review when they arrive. I LOVE the look of the new Relaxed-Fit Gathered Cropped Jacket, but I can’t justify a new jacket. I may break down though if it’s still available in a few weeks.

Did anything stand out for you this week? Let us know in the commentts what you ordered, or if you’ve tried on or have intel on the contoured fit wunder trains.

Soooo. Who watched the Oscars on Sunday? What did you think? Kinda icky all round. In situations like that I don’t think there are any winners. Nobody is left feeling good at the end of the night, right?

Did you guys catch my review of the lululemon blissfeel running shoes? I did a first impressions look at the fit, and the features. I’ll do another review once I’ve tried them out for a few runs.

Right now I’m eying up the V-Neck Midi Dress, and the Ribbed Modal-Cotton Dress.

Trying out the lululemon blissfeel running shoe

by Cristina March 28, 2022

written by Cristina

My lululemon blissfeel running shoes arrived…

I’m really glad I ordered the new lululemon blissfeel running shoe right away last Tuesday before selling out. lululemon running shoes sold out in most colors and sizes in just a few hours. I ordered the Water Drop blue , in a size 9.5. I’m a size 9 in shoes usually but i do like sizing up a half size in running shoes I plan to use for running, and not just for gym use. After ordering I double guessed myself slightly and thought I should have ordered the Flare. Flare is beautiful but I’m really happy with the Water Drop.

My first impressions

These shoes are fantastic. I have to be honest and tell you I wasn’t anticipating such a substantial legit running shoe when I first heard lululemon was developing shoes. I was expecting a cute gym shoe. lululemon has done well to round out the lululemon running gear collection to include lululemon women’s running shoes.

The Blissfeel Running Shoe is on par with my Asics Gel Nimbus, but the fit is even better. Here’s why:

the new lululemon shoe

These shoes where developed specifically for women’s feet, which is unlike any other running shoe on the market. I can absolutely feel that specialized fit.

The mid foot feels more contoured around my foot, and the toe box is nice and roomy. The best part though is the arch support. The arch support feels more substantial than any of my other running shoes. I have flat feet and really appreciate good arch support. It helps take the strain off my knees and hips. This is a bigger concern for women, especially with our wider hip to knee ratio. The stability and cushioning in these shoes is fantastic and would make for great ‘all day’ shoes. My foot feels really hugged in and supported inside the shoe while still being completely neutral. The lower ankle profile supports my ankle in a much better position. I did a few squats and had zero heel lift.

Other features I’m liking is the unique contouring around the ankle. The tongue on the front of the shoe is very low profile and dips in nice and low. This is something that tends to bother me in some of my other shoes when doing squats especially.

The sillouette of the shoe seems classic at first but it’s a very flattering elegant fit. I love that the side of the ankle dips down lower, and the front of the shoe is lower profile as well. besides feeling better stability wise, It really helps elongate the leg.

Here you can see a full squat below parallel. No heel lift, and no cutting in around the ankle. There is a slight 1.5” heel lift.

Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried them on and how you like them so far.

How cute is that reflective logo in the back of the shoe?

it's the lululemon blissfeel running shoe upload!

Today is the day! The lululemon blissfeel women’s running shoe is finally available. Which color did you order? I ordered water drop but was torn between that color, the mink berry, silver drop and butter pink. I wear a lot of blue so I figured water drop would look best with most things in my wardrobe. I really love the reflective glittery logo at the back of the shoe. you can’t see that in the web photos but I’ve seen a few sneak peeks showing the refective patch. I’ll definitely have a fit review when the shoes arrive. I’ll do two actually – a fit review for regular wear and a running specific fit review.

Another item from this upload I’m in love with is the Waterproof Cropped Trench Coat in Deep Artifact. It’s stunning in Deep Artifact.

The other star of this upload is the new reflective line – Spray Camo Silver Blue Multi Sirius Reflective. I ordered the Women’s Fast And Free Ponytail Running Hat. The jacket is very cute.

lululemon what’s new this week

Happy Upload!

Hope you’ve all had a great week. I threw my back out last week so I’m currently writing this post with a heating pad on, and my lululemon double roller next to me. Thank goodness for my double roller and active release balls, and my heatitng pad. I’ve thrown my neck out many times before but this is my first time throwing my back out. I feel for those of you with chronic back issues. It’s awful.

This week, I’m loving all things Mineral Blue. Definitely ordering the Scuba Overesized Half Zip in Mineral Blue.The new Butternut Brown/Warm Apricot swiftly is stunning too and I’m debating waiting for the SS or just ordering the LS

Happy International Women’s Day! lululemon, what’s new this week?

Last night, lululemon announced that their new running shoe was coming March 8, 2022. It turns out it was just the promotional info that dropped today, but we did get to see all the colorways and product details. Check my blog post to see tons of photos and pricing info. The actual release date for the first running shoe style, lululemon Blissfeel Running Shoe, is March 22, 2022. This at least gives us time to pick our favourite colors.

As for lululemon what’s new this week: The highlight for this week’s lululemon upload – Distorted Noise Mineral Blue print in the Ebb To Street Cropped Racer Tank. That style doesn’t work for me so I’m hoping we see other options for this print. I wanted to buy the All Yours Tank Top in Marmoleado Tie Dye but sadly, Canada did not get this one.

Let me know in the comments if anything caught your eye today from the lululemon lululemon what’s new drop, and if you are excited to try out lululemon’s new running shoe.

lululemon Shoes Launching Tomorrow

by Cristina March 7, 2022

written by Cristina

lululemon shoes are launching tomorrow **(website now says MARCH 22, 2022)!

Check out lululemon’s sneaker debut here with the upload post

lululemon Blissfeel Running Shoe Available on March 22, 2022

lululemon has just announced the launch for the new lululemon shoe design. The new lululemon sneakers are dropping March 22, 2022! There are several models, and a pair of slide sandals which will drop Summer 2022. The color options are fantastic.

The new lululemon Blissfeel Running Shoes are designed for women using data from over a million foot scans. I wonder if some of the data pool may have been gathered from Seawheeze 2019 where runners got their foot gate analyzed for free custom orthotic insoles. If so, that is a very cool way to gather runner specific data, post run.

The price for lululemon Blissfeel Running Shoes is $148, and the price for the Restfeel Slide is $48.

*I’ve updated this post with tons of photos of the new lululemon Blissful Running Shoe model, and all it’s colorways.

Read about lululemon’s previous shoe collab here Lululemon x Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL)

'Most performance shoes are designed primarily for men, and often for elite male athletes, and then adapted for women, Yet, on average, women have distinctly different shaped feet. Women also move differently and have unique biomechanics – from where their heel strikes when they run to their centre of gravity.'

Mark Oleson
