Love my Lulu

Back in May, Steve and I stayed in a very posh resort, the Arizona Biltmore.   It was heavenly to lay by the pool and soak up the warmth of the sun, especially considering that we still were not fully out of an extremely long and cold winter back home.  I was also in training for an upcoming Ragnar Relay race in June and was feeling the panic of being unprepared.  This time away from the children was not only recharging my batteries and adding an extra jolt to my marriage (love our getaways, baby!), but it was also giving me some much needed training time in the sun.  Unfortunately (or fortunately for me, as it turns out) I had failed to pack a good running bra.  Steve, my ultimate "athletic supporter" (haha, I couldn't resist) insisted that we check out the LuLu Lemon store at the nearby mall.  As I slipped on my first piece of LuLu athletic wear, I was in love.  The running skirts, tanks, shirts, bras...the fabric!  Not only functional, but SMART functional, and pretty.  The clothing is designed to take you from the gym and into your day. Everything I picked up that day has since become my favorite running gear.  Last month, on our little girl trip to St. George, Kelsey and I buzzed over to Las Vegas to do some shopping and I introduced her to LuLu Lemon.  She, too, was immediately sold on their products and I had her Christmas presents bought and wrapped for under the tree in that one short store visit.  Turns out that she went home and told her husband and in-laws also, because they all added to her LuLu Lemon collection.  Well, after seeing all of the cute things she got for Christmas, I had to go back to LuLu for myself.  Oh my, you should just see how smokin' hot I am in my new tights, long sleeved shirt and jacket...and it feels so incredibly good on! The best treat of all:  Lulu Lemon in coming to Trolley Square in February. Love my LuLu!
