Glyder Ninja Crop Legging Review

I recently received my new Ninja Crop Leggings from Glyder.  LOVE them!  The material is super soft and they fit really well.  I usually wear a size 6 and am a pear shape so I went with a size small with these crops (same size the I have in the Mantra Crops from Glyder).  The material they are made from is called Forma 101 (88% nylon, 12% spandex).  It washes extremely well - no pilling or fading.  I bought a few pairs in black.  The only other color that they come in right now is called Hot Tangerine and although they are very pretty, I just don't think that I could pull off that light of a color as a bottom so I stuck with the basic black.

As you can see, I've been taking awkward selfies again :-)  I really wanted to show how cute the gladiator cut outs on calf of these crops are!  LOVE THIS FEATURE!!  A few friends and I bought them and we love them!  These are super functional, fitting, fabulously sexy crops!  I say, if you are going to get sweaty, you might as well look good doing it!

You will notice the tank I'm wearing in these pictures is also from Glyder.  This is the Lotus Tank in Cozumel.  I love this tank so much!!!  I bought it in a size small (I wear 34C for reference) and it fits like a glove!  Great compression!  I usually wear it during strength training and yoga classes.  The material is deliciously soft!  Although this tank has bra cups in the shelf bra, it doesn't come with the cup inserts.  I have lots of inserts from other workout tanks and bras so I always add them for a little extra support.

I highly recommend the Ninja Crop Leggings if you want a great workout crop that fits well and hugs your curves.  If you are small in the hip area be sure to measure carefully and check the sizing chart on the Glyder website before purchasing.  If you are in Canada, unfortunately we don't get free shipping, but the price on these items are very reasonable, in my opinion, for the quality ($68).

I also highly recommend the Lotus tank with one drawback:  I'm short in the torso so this tank works for me (I'm 5'5 for reference) but I wouldn't want it to be any shorter, so perhaps you taller ladies may want to check the sizing chart for coverage that you are looking for.

Yogasmoga My Stripy Racerback Review

When Yogasmoga came out with their new items last month, I quickly ordered the My Stripy Racerback in Carbon 6 (PS I have a thing for stripes...LOVE them).  This particular tank was said to be made from a new material called Aurum Stripe, which was supposed to be softer and more lightweight than the original Aurum material.  I live in Canada and Yogasmoga ships out of NYC.  This tank was in my mailbox after only a week!  I usually wear a size 6 or small in workout tanks, so I ordered this one in a size 6 as well.  Perfect fit! I love the shape of this tank - it dips down in the front and back for optimal coverage.  It is long enough to skim my hip but not too long (I don't like when tanks cover my bum when I am trying to run, jump, etc while I workout).  For a reference point, I am 5'5 and short in the torso.  As you can see from the awkward selfies below (sorry, I am not an avid selfie taker ;-)) I am a pear-shaped girl and am curvy in the hip/bum area and this tank hugs my curves nicely when I workout - I need my gear to stay in place when I workout.  You will also notice that the color seems a little messed up - it's just sweat!  I had finished a crazy tough Friday morning full body class right before snapping this shot.  This new material really wicks the sweat away from your body as you work!

Love this new tank! Love this new material!  Can not wait to order another Yogasmoga My Stripy Racerback tank!  Next time I think I will go with the Verdi color!

Happy long weekend!!

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!!
