@nhilinhnguyen4191 2 года назад

One thing that Wolven has over other brands that use recycled materials is that their high-support sports bra is amazing for people who have a larger cup but smaller band size that need more support! This is an aspect of sports bras that I feel like has been neglected by many ethical and sustainability-focused brands, and asides from Wolven the only other brand that does good, supportive bras is Athleta (they’re B-Corp certified) and Outdoor Voices. Just another thing to keep in mind!

At 10:33 - 10:37 you could totally model for them!! Maybe a full video of just your workout and meals. You're looking GREAT! 👍🏼 ™️ I think stands for Trademarked Btw..no video is too long when it comes to you! Your videos are so informative and relaxing to watch.

So happy I found your channel! I’m trying to support more ethical and sustainable brands and it’s awesome that you were so descriptive! ❤️ Super minor tip but this would be so helpful for some viewers - but placing the price (even in CAD!) and size would be helpful, and indicating if they have international shipping worldwide would be great, since I’m from the Philippines! :)

I wish you made this video sooner because I was looking for sustainable sweat pants and loungewear a few months ago, I saw your post about pangaia so I didn't purchase from them but it was really hard to find ethical and sustainable options. The two UK/EU brands I found were "Named Collective" and "Consciousthelabel"

@inspiroue 3 года назад

Aw I wish I did too - wanted to take time to test pieces out and make sure the quality held up!! And I completely agree, it took me months of searching to find ethical/sustainability-minded options! I'll definitely check those two brands out! Hope you were able to find some comfy options x

I don't get along with my Girlfriend set at all sadly, but their lounge wear looks soooo cosy. They're still not shipping to the UK though and I'm holding out hope that a local retailer will get stock because I have no idea how much tax I might have to pay if I buy directly. Great video as always Cynthia! 😊

I have a few pieces from Girlfriend and I absolutely love them!! So happy you included them in this video:) Also, do you happen to know if lululemon is a sustainable brand? The research I’ve tried to do on the subject is pretty unclear :/

@littlereddragon 3 года назад

I don't think lululemon is sustainable and I've heard that the owner is pretty misogynistic as well, so better off buying secondhand.

@inspiroue 3 года назад

Girlfriend is the best!! And agreed with Arub - lululemon hasn't really shown any interest in fabrics, production processes, and even the scale of how much they produce (global stores too)

Hi Cynthia! Thank you for always putting out such thought provoking content. It really helps to remind us about the bigger picture or in the grand scheme of things. I was wondering what your thoughts are on kotn or frank and oak, if you've ever given any of those brands a shot or do not intend to? I hope you and your family are continuing to stay safe and healthy 💞

@inspiroue 3 года назад

Aw thank you for saying that! It's what I strive for so this makes me super happy to hear! I spoke about Kotn in my brands to know part 2! Mixed feelings about frank and oak but haven't looked at them in a while - will maybe touch on them in a future video! Hope you and yours is as well 💛

(doesn't have to be a sports bra btw, could be any sort of bra/tank top/etc kind of thing!)

@inspiroue 2 года назад

of course! and ou very good question, off the top of my head: - mary young ones are the least compressive so wouldn't reco for this case - girlfriend compressive crop bras (also double as crop tops) I'd say are most compressive - back beat co reversible crop bras I find help squish my lemons in a bit too (comparable to what a sports bra would do for me - but I have a small chest so not sure how compressive they'd be for a larger bust) - I find the hara the label bodysuit/bandeau tops are a more compressive fabric too (similar to back beat co) hope this can help x
