Persu Collection is a small, independent brand that makes bags for folks with an active lifestyle who value multi-functional pieces. In the past, I've reviewed two of Persu's duffel bags, the Tom bag and Jessica bag, both of which I love. Persu's designs are always so thoughtfully designed with an endless list of features. I decided to fund their most recent Kickstarter a while back in order to ...

Lululemon Bra Comparison: Free to Be Serene Versus Free to Be Elevated
On today's docket: a showdown of two fuller cup size sports bras from lululemon. The free to be serene bra is designed for C/D cups and the free to be elevated bra is for DD/DDD cups.

Machines offers their jerseys in a huge range of sizes, from XXS to XXXL. I originally tried the short sleeve jersey in XXS, the same as my long sleeve jerseys. While it was generally nicely ...
Lululemon Free to Be Elevated Bra Review
The activewear market is flooded with cute sports bra options for smaller cup sizes, but even low-impact options are extremely limited for those on the fuller side of the cup spectrum. Too often, bra designs are plagued by awkward quadraboob or droopy bust lines. Enter lululemon's free to be elevated bra. This newer style is essentially an evolution of the free to be lineup, ...
