The height of summer means many of us are spending our days baking in the sun. Despite my best efforts to slather on sunscreen, I can't help but notice how much sun has been battering my poor shoulders. As much as I love tanks, I find myself occasionally wishing for tops that provide just a little more coverage while still delivering on performance and keeping me cool. I scoured the internet ...

Follow-Up Reviews: What’s Stood the Test of Time
One of the things that I've always wished could be a part of my reviews is the long-term piece. I always make an effort to wear a style a couple of times for a workout before reviewing it, but what about after that? Once I've had a style for a few months, do I still like it and wear it? Did it fall apart? That's the purpose of this post. Below, I'll go over a few items I've had and worn for ...

Lululemon Time to Sweat Bra Review
Lululemon has come out with quite a few appealing sports bras lately. For a while, it felt like they were only releasing cute bras for smaller cup sizes, but I've been happy to see more options at lulu for mid-range cup sizes and even a few additions for larger cup sizes as well. Most recently, the time to sweat bra caught my eye. I fell in love with it and have gone back for multiple colors ...
Athleta Stripe Contender Tights Review
Stripes are one of my all-time favorite patterns for workout pants. When I saw these contender tights from Athleta, they had my name written all over them. I purchased these in XXS, my usual size in Athleta. In my opinion, they fit true to size. The fabric is mid-weight with good compression. The compression feels similar to lululemon's luxtreme. The fabric feels slightly thicker than ...
