Latest Yogasmoga Order

As I posted yesterday, Yogasmoga has added some new product to their website for women! They are also in the process of getting a men's line together to be expected online on May 1, 2014.

What I forgot to mention in yesterday's post was that not only do they have some new items, they also have new colors in old favorites (ie Klarit Red Run Jump N' Play Crops, just one of the many examples) AND they have a new material called Aurum Stripe.  This is supposed to be a softer, more lightweight version of their original material, Aurum.  The picture below is of the new XOX Tee that is a combo of the original Aurum material and the new lighter weight Aurum Stripe material


                                                Made from a combination of our two exclusive
 high performance wicking fabrics - Aurum 24 and Aurum Stripe, 
you get double the punch.

I have to say that I am excited about the new lightweight material.  I  have a few tanks made of Aurum and while I do like them, I am less inclined to wear them if I am going to be sweating lots as I don't find that they breathe as well as lighter weight materials.  Don't get me wrong, they are lovely tanks with great wicking properties but I just find them best to wear when I won't be sweating as much.  

I've ordered the My Stripey Racerback in Carbon 6 ($48).   I'm also excited that this tank is a little longer than their original Yantra Tank.



I will post a review of this new item when it arrives!  I'd love to hear any feedback that any of you have on the new Yogasmoga items!  Feel free to comment/post!

Cheers!

YOGASMOGA SALE!!!!! SLIMMIE PANTS

If anyone has read my Yogasmoga reviews from earlier posts, you know that I am a big fan!  Got an email a few days ago with an offer to purchase a pair of Classic Slimmie Pants (LOVE THESE - see earlier post dedicated to the Slimmie!) and you would get a second pair free of charge!  The email said it was for selected Yogasmoga clients (I figured that just meant people on their email list who bought things in the past). The second pair would be in your size but the color may be a surprise.  This made me a little wary as I am not overly adventurous when it comes to the colors of my workout bottoms.  I was relieved to see that all of their bottoms are either Carbon Black or Caviar Grey with a colored waist band.  Good deal for that price! ($109 per pair but you will get two pairs!!).

Then just this morning I noticed that this sale was advertised on facebook so it is now open to anyone ordering Classic Slimmie Pants!  I highly recommend them!  They fit like a glove, wash like a towel, and never pill!

Enjoy and Happy Friday!!

Latest Gylder Review: Paradise Sports Bra and Lotus Tank

I've recently received my latest Glyder Apparel purchases and couldn't be happier with them!!

First, I need to take a minute and talk about the importance of a really good sports bra.  We come in all shapes and sizes ladies, this is true.  Myself, I am rather small-chested and since I am a pear-shaped gal, I am much smaller on top than on the bottom.  Since I am not overly abundant in the boobie area, I am able to get away with some less supportive bras in low impact situations - ie yoga, pilates, barre, and some strength training workouts.  I just need them in place during those types of activities and so a heavy duty bra isn't necessary for that. Now, if I am running, jumping, or doing any sort of high impact work, I NEED a supportive bra. Yes, even us itty-bittys need support.  No one wants them to jiggle when they workout. Well, I don't anyway!  I like my girls to be locked and loaded at all times, especially when I run!  Enter the Paradise Sports Bra from Glyder.



This bra is very pretty.  I love love love the straps!  When I saw it first, I wondered if it would hold me enough for anything high impact.  It is lightweight and the material is buttery soft!  The straps in the back make your back look awesome too ;-)  I ordered a size small (I am a 34C - a small C, but still a C) and I usually buy size 6 in Lululemon bras (that may help put it into perspective for others).  There is an excellent sizing chart on the Glyder website as well.  This bra offers slits on the inside where you can put in cup inserts. No cups came with my purchase but I have loads from all of the other yoga type bras/tops that I have and they all seem to fit.  When I tried it on I was incredibly surprised at how supportive this bra was!  I think it is the 2 straps on each side and the criss-cross action that helps it to hold the girls in place.  I tested this bra out right away of course!  I took it on a 5K run just to see.  Well, I was totally impressed!  The bra stayed in place, the girls didn't move throughout the run!  THEN I went to a Power HIIT class afterwards and found the support level to be just what I needed when doing high knees, jump squats, plyometric jumps, etc!  Love it!  A new fav for me for sure.  Now, I am not sure how this would work with a larger-chested lady!  I found the coverage to be ample for me, but like I said, I don't have a whole lot to cover so you should refer to the sizing chart before purchasing for sure.

My other new item was the Lotus Tank in Cozumel Teal Space Dye. 




This top is so pretty!!!  Love the mixture of pinks and blues!  This tank fit beautifully and the material was lovely!  So soft!  I also found it compressive, which I love!!!  It stayed in place nicely when I did burpees and it left my arms, shoulders and back free and unrestricted when I was lifting weights.  This tank came with a built in shelf bra that also had slits for cups (also not included with the purchase).  This will be a great tank to wear to yoga, barre, pilates, strength training and low impact workouts.  I bought a size small (I usually wear a size 6 in Lululemon tanks).  I will definitely be adding more of these to my wardrobe!!!

Glyder has been mentioning on facebook that new items are coming soon to their website and I am patiently waiting for this.  Well, I've not really been that patient.  I've checked the facebook page and website daily to keep an eye for new styles/colors/sizes!!!  I also want/need a pair of the black Ninja Crop Leggings!!!  I'm waiting for them to come out in a size small.  Also I want/need two new pairs of Mantra Crops in Navy Space Dye and Grey Space Dye (waiting on my size for those as well).  Keep an eye out for new items!!  I'll post as soon as I see them!!!!
