Dealership Dessert Bar
Morning friends! How are you?? Hope you’re having a great morning <3 Thanks for the awesome comments to my ridiculously random post 
I’ve had so much fun reading them.
Right now, I’m blogging at the car dealership:
(Car Dealership dessert bar)
The original plan was to get the coolant topped off before yoga (it told me it was low, so I brought it in) and turns out I needed an oil change and something else (? haha) so I’m here chilling in my yoga clothes, enjoying the coffee and free WiFi. Looks like yoga won’t be happening, but Dance Trance later tonight will 
For dinner last night, I enjoyed the second half of the raw tacos meal.
It was really delicious but ended up being a fail as far as raw tacos go- it was more like a raw Mexican chicken salad
#1: The tortilla ended up being chips because I left it in the dehydrator way too long
#2: The taco meat ended up being like faux raw chicken, because I used almonds instead of walnuts and didn’t have any sundried tomatoes on hand
Oh well- you live and learn, eh? I’ll post the full recipe when I tweak it to perfection
I also munched an organic kiwi:
While my meal was less legendary than anticipated, work was so.much.fun last night. We were slow for a little while, so we had a yoga challenge in the store. One person started a yoga flow, then the next person repeated the flow and added something on. We ended up with a CRAZY long flow- it was kind of a blasty
Breakfast this morning was on the lighter side and simple, because I thought I’d be sweating and downward dogging right about now:
Brown rice tortilla + almond butter and jelly
The classic never dies
Plan for the day:
-Book proposal
-Blog + Lunch + work stuff
-BLACK BOOTS! (still on the prowl)
-Dance Trance (I heard a rumor that this week’s new routine was G6? Stoked)
-Rainforest Café (VOLCANOOOOOOOOOO!)
See ya later today!
xoxo,
Gina
Today’s tip: Fave lululemon pieces! Since I’ve divulged my place of employment, quite a few of you have asked what my favorite pieces are.
Here are some of the things I LOVE:
This is my all-time fave. I wear the Cool Racerback or the Power Y almost every day. It’s really light, stretchy and comfy.
The Power Y has a built-in bra with cups that you can take out if you want to. It’s great for power yoga because even when you’re drenched in sweat, it dries really quickly
This bra changed my life. I had a Victoria’s Secret bra that I LOVED (the shock absorber, which they discontinued) and since then haven’t found anything that’s worked out well. When you wear the Ta Ta Tamer, NOTHING moves. I was sprinting on the treadmill and almost shed tears of joy, haha. Bonus: no uniboob. Baller.
Another thing that I wear almost everyday. I love the length of these and like all Groove pants, they’re made of luon, which has a 4-way stretch. There’s a little pocket in the waistband and they’re reversible, so if I don’t want to match the waistband, I just wear them inside out
I don’t have these yet, but hope to get some today or tomorrow. Some of the girls at work wear them everyday and they look SO comfy.

I have to go to the dealership today too. Snooooze. I wish mine had wifi! I have the shock absorber from VS too and I have worn that thing out. I really loved it. I’d love to get a tata tamer too!
me too.. mine was so old and ratty! but it did an amazing job, haha
I would definitely wear Wunder Under crop every day if I could 🙂
The tata tamer looks great — it doesn’t just smash your boobs to your chest!
Love the wonder under crops and pants definitely get a pair (or two)
this was great!! im getting my runner sister lulu clothes for xmas and these are all on my list! let me know if you find anymore cool stuff!!
Oh that’s so cool! I hope you keep posting your Lulu faves. It’ll be fun to get the inside scoop from you:)
I looove lululemon! I have yet to buy anything other than a hairband…but I just love the positive energy of the store and the overall concept. They just opened one literately forty feet from my apt. I can see the store when I look out my bedroom window = dangerous! I am budgeting so that I can buy the ta ta tamer (grad student:).
The only thing I own from lululemon is a pair of shorts I got a couple years ago. I just can’t spend more than a hundred bucks on a pair of sweat pants! But I sure would like to… I know it’s the brand that people are buying but I want to be one of those people too! Whenever I’m at the gym all the girls are in their lululemon stuff and I’m slumming it in my sweats from Old Navy, lol. Sad little me.
there’s nothing wrong with that- old navy has great athletic wear 🙂
what city do you live in??? there are lululemon outlets in orlando, washington state and ny- it would be a great way to try out a pair for less. some stores have sales, too 🙂
I live in sad old Winnipeg, Manitoba… We DO have a lululemon but I’m guessing it’s even MORE expensive than any of the stores in the US. I would do terrible things to get at a lulu outlet!
Lucky for you the Polo Park location in Winnipeg is considered an outlet location!!
This is random, but what color/brand nail polish are you wearing in the third picture? I really like it!
haha, love that the bras name is tata tamer.
i hate being at the car dealership. im not sure why, but i always feel like im never going to get out of there even though they get things done in a decent time.
that’s how i’m feeling about now… trying to be positive, but i’ve enjoyed my wifi and coffee- ready to go
I work at a pilates studio that sells lululemon. It’s a lot of fun! Whenever we get a new order in, people go CRAZY…
So, my lulu wardrobe is expanding.
By the way, I’m new to your blog, and really enjoy it! I look forward to your posts in the morning, and in the evening when I’m home from work. You and I have a very similar style of eating, and I’m getting more good eating and fitness ideas from you. I’m a personal trainer and pilates instructor. Thanks much!!
thank you so much for reading!!
🙂
I just picked up another Power Y and my goodness I adore them. I bought myself a pair of the Power Pose leggings as a treat for completing mat-level Pilates certification and now I want a thousand pairs, they’re really fun. I love crops but I’ve never bought a Lulu pair. I actually have a jacket to return to Lulu (Tadasana jacket, it’s just notttt flattering on me), and I might exchange it for another pair of pants. Or a jacket. Still can’t decide.
too funny that you mention lulu goods today, gina! i was thinking of you last eve as i went shopping at lululemon in the eaton centre (toronto). was drooling over practically everything, but escaped with only the arm warmers (for running) and a 3pac of socks. did compose my xmas list of items i would love to get! the lulu pieces i alread own have never let me know.
enjoy your dance trance tonight!
I just found out you can get a discount at Lululemon for being a fitness professional…I kinda think it’s pointless now that I am pregger, but def wanna take advantage post baby! I love their stuff, it’s just outrageously expensive 🙁 I am used to Old Navy, Marshalls and Target prices…although, i live in workout clothes so it would be a good investment 😉
Gina, what is Dance Trance like? Anything like Zumba? Our Zumba class adds in some hip hop to the mix – they’re always intense! More so than Turbo Fire workouts if that gives you an idea! 🙂 I love them! We did a new G6 routine the other night! SO fun!
dance trance is choreograhped dances to songs that are on the radio- really new, awesome songs! they use a jazz style of dance with hip hop and booty shaking mixed in. it’s RIDICULOUS 🙂
Thank you! It sounds awesome! Hubby and I would LOVE that! Hoping someone starts up a Nashville studio SOON! 🙂
I’m really considering taking the plunge and getting the tata tamer! I’ve heard so many great things about it! 🙂
The cool racerback is my favourite!! I think I have 6 of them now, and I get a new colour every time I go to Lulu (because there isn’t one in my city). You have the best job ever my dear!! 😀
I have serious lurve for the Ta Ta Tamer! – It changed my running life! 🙂
And I am addicted to the Scoop Neck Tanks. – I really need to add some more of thier pants into my life.
I think there would have to be icecream put in my coffee if I were sitting there waiting! Wish I had the bod for the lulu’s.
um, you have a HOT bod 🙂 tom agrees- he said you were a cute little thing 🙂
Thx but it’s a work in progress.
i really need to invest in a ta-ta tamer. like really bad. my old bras are getting too big but i need something supportive!
I’m so jealous you get to wear comfy clothes all day! Jeans are not comfortable, I don’t care what people say. Even the stretch ones stretch out and fall down, etc.
Love lulu – thanks for posting! Seems like a great company to work for. The one by me does free weekend classes. Thanks for the reminder – I miss them!
I think I might official sleep, workout in, and go to work in LULU forever after seeing some of this new stuff! It would work for me. 🙂
Even for Halloween… “What are you?” “I am a LULU Employee”. See I would be covered in all aspects, hehe. 😉
Glad I at least get the Trainer discount. 🙂
Ice cream at the dealership?
HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!! 😀
Thanks for sharing your fav pieces, I need to invest in new workout clothes.
I don’t know why but I find the fact that the dealership has an ice cream bar adorable.
I dont own anything by that brand, but the clothes look great! I am such a sucker for workout clothes, and I am not ashamed that the majority of my clothes are workout.
I need some of those ta-ta tamers. Otherwise I’m a doubled up sportsbra gal.
I just bought the Lululemon “Insight” Crop pant for a marathon I did last weekend and loooved them!! They are supposed to be for dancers but they were great for running too. I love the pockets 🙂
I do love my groove crops and wunder unders! Have yet to get a tank though.
Ahhh I want lulu clothes! I am too poor/cheaptastic. 🙁
So jealous that you get to live in Lulu clothes every day! I swear by the Cool Racerback. It’s the only top I’ll run in and I’m going crazy because I own almost every color. Must. Release. More. (Please!) I also love the Reverse Groove (I think?) shorts and the Groove pants. Aaaamazing. Lucky lady!
I want to work at Lululemon just to wear cute and comfy clothes all day!! This makes me want to sprit to the nearest Lululemon and buy stuff 🙂 There’s definitely a lot on my Christmas list though!!
Ha love the dealership “dessert bar” – so random!
That yoga flow things sounds like so much fun, I would love to do something totally spontaneous and random like that! 😉 Thanks also, for the lulu piece tips, I definitely need to invest in a few of those goods! 😀 Let me know how you like the new pants too!
<3
You are so lucky to be working at Lulumon. I would love to work at a yoga shop one day…or Whole Foods! Haha
I’ve been eye-ing lululemon things for awhile! But I’m nervous about the price and if it’s really worth it! How long have you had your lululemon gear? Has it held up well without getting baggy or rough? And are they pretty true to size? I’m willing to spend the money if I can keep them for a long time! I would just be super bummed out if they started to get old in a few months.
quite the buffet at the dealership, never seen such a thing!
lulu clothes are awesome, i can’t wait for christmas haha then i get some, i have honestly never bought any of my own lulu yet, but i will probably give in sooner or later, they are so comfy
I also live in the wunder unders and power ys. Both are such great pieces! And for running nothing beats the speed short! I’m obsessed. I did your plie squats this morning at the gym and lovveddd them! I could definitely feel the burn when you have to hold the squat position and keep curling.

Thanks for showing us your fave Lulu gear. Adding most of those pieces to my Christmas list now :). I’ve been wanting the wunder unders for a few months anyway and was always curious about the tata tamer. Excited! Gotta love Lulu.

What dealership offers that?
I just ordered some new active wear!
b m dubya
oo la la , no wonder– hah I once was the receptionist at Mercedes and they didn’t have that much fanciness! I want a VW Golf, Audi’s and others are cute, but too $
I am thinking of joining the USCG — is your husband Air Force?
LOVE all of those lululemon pieces! I forced myself to walk past the store last weekend because going inside would have put a serious dent in my college budget. Between lululemon and lucy I could go broke!
Omg nothing quite sucks (for me) as much as cooling my heels in a car dealership…b/c it’s never on my terms. i.e. some random light goes on, you bring it in, and they tell you yes the light is on but you also have abc and xyz things to contend with (and pay for!) too! I feel your pain!
The tortillas into chips…looks good to me. The taco meat into chicken salad, also looks delish!
And all the pants and clothes and I know you’ve mentioned the ta-ta tamer before…I would love something like that! Something to immobilize yet not give the look of a smashed pancake LOL
Have a great day and good luck with your car !
🙂
Thanks for the lulu tips! I was hoping you would do that on the blog. I have a request: Could you share with us which are your favorite long-length lulu pants? Living in Canada…we’ve got to stay warm 🙂
i love the rock on pant 🙂 the groove pants and a little too flared for me
Thanks for the Lulu opinions!! I have a couple of those but I’m interested in the TaTa Tamer for sure
Gina – what kind of tortillas do you eat, I’m looking for some new, good ones!
I am addicted to the Cool Racerbacks, everytime they come out with a new color, I have to have it, it’s a problem! I started with one tank, a pair of crops and a pair of grooves over 3 years ago and now my workout drawer is overflowing with LULU…I just get one piece at a time and work it into my budget. It also helps that I have a boyfriend who supports my habit because he loves how the clothes look on me too, heh! Anywho…my new favorite piece is the Run Inspire crops…they are fantastic for boot camp-type moves and running, and I love the feel of the luxtreme!

Ps… back when you taught a couple yoga classes, did you go through a teacher training? I am thinking about doing it, but am not sure if I actually want to teach. I am looking for advice on if the training was worth it to simply deepen your own practice. Love your blog:)
oh my gosh! If you have to be stuck in a car dealership, might as well be stuck in that one! Nice:)
haha work time yoga flow sounds like a blast! and a supah fun game 🙂
I love anything and everything Groove from lulu. When I got my first pair a couple years ago, I fell in loove!
I also love almost all of their jackets:)
Add me to the thousands who also love the Tamer. I own several in several colors and they’re worth every cent.
