Lululemon is Self Care

Can you remember the first day you got your first pair of really good leggings? I can. It was the Saturday prior to Mother's Day in 2019. I wasn't even certain if I would fit into the brand, because according to their size chart at the time, it wasn't likely. But, nothing I owned in my athletic wear wardrobe was remotely staying up.

So, I did what any sane new mother would do: Took the entire family to Lululemon before lunch. On a Saturday. To the busiest mall in the area. Yes, I set myself up for a disaster.

It was anything but.

I met my first educator and asked for help. She immediately told me the size I selected would be too big (I wasn't so certain) and set me straight in the changing room. We had to go down two more sizes before I found the leggings that made me feel awesome.

From then on, when I wear my leggings, I feel better. I am not as tired. I feel like I can lift more or push myself further. I feel more confident and comfortable in my body. All through a pair of leggings.

Since that fateful day, my collection has grown. A lot..... much to the budget's dismay. But, in a 2020 where self care is hard to come by, and workouts are still happening, Lululemon is my self care. Needing to size down in the middle of a global pandemic has helped keep me on track and that, to me, makes the leggings worth every penny.
