Crewneck sweatshirts are so boring and originally

Crewneck sweatshirts are so boring and originally were made for men. So it’s time they get a makeover.

Here’s how I elevated the basic sweatshirt and turned it into a brunch worthy, drama worthy statement piece that’s also so comfy you could sleep in it!

🍷Brunch Sweater🥐

✔️ Tapered waist for an oversized but slimming effect
✔️ Princess seams with hidden pockets obvs! (And princess seams on the back too)
✔️ DRAMATIC sleeves with pleats for major VOLUME
✔️ Wider neck so your makeup doesn’t get messed up
✔️ Thicc and soft ☁️Cloud Fabric☁️ bc only the best for you duh
✔️Hip length
✔️ XXS- 3X

K what do you think? It’s currently my go-to @popflex_active sweater and omg you need to experience it. TRUSTTTTTT

PS: I’m wearing the S/M and I normally wear small. I like my sweaters big. I’m 5’5”. Avail now on popflexactive.com in 6 colors! (My black one was dirty so it’s not in the video)

Growing up, there were so many things about my eth

Growing up, there were so many things about my ethnicity that made me feel ashamed.

The fact that my parents had an accent.

The fact that my lunch looked and smelled different than my classmates.

The fact that I spoke a different language at home.

All of these things made me feel like an other, an outsider, when all I wanted was to do was blend in with the “real”, “American” kids who could afford to eat lunchables for lunch.

But one of the things I hated most about myself was my last name:

Ho.

It was 6th grade. I remember the snickering in the locker room. Girls talking about my weight. Taunting me about the unshaved hair on my legs and arms. Then the multiple times the popular girls would walk up to me asking me why I was “such a hoe.” TBH, I was so innocent then that I didn’t even understand why they were comparing me to a garden tool.

It wasn’t until my parents moved our family to Union City, CA that everything changed. I remember walking into my first assembly and having a complete culture shock. Everyone had dark hair and dark eyes. They looked like me, talked like me, ate like me, and I didn’t feel like I had to explain anything. It was in high school that I finally allowed myself to embrace my Vietnamese and Chinese cultures, instead of rejecting them.

Today, I carry so much pride behind my name because I’ve fought so hard to prove myself. I feel bad for ever feeling ashamed of my roots. My parents escaped a war torn country in the 70s to give me and my sister an opportunity to succeed, and I wouldn’t be where I am, literally living out my dreams, without their sacrifices.

Although I wish you all a happy Lunar New Year, I’m sad that the the year had to start off the way it did. Last night, a mass shooting in Monterey Park - a predominantly Chinese neighborhood. 10 dead. 10 injured. On what’s supposed to be the happiest celebration of the year for our community. Please stay safe and tell your loved ones you love them.

You: I HATE REMOVEABLE BRA CUPSSSSS!!!! Me: OKAY.

You: I HATE REMOVEABLE BRA CUPSSSSS!!!!

Me: OKAY.

Testing out my first sports bralette with no removeable bra cups and I’m curious what you’ll think! I usually don’t mind bra cups because they cover the nips and they give me extra oomph which for my A cups, I appreesh. But I empathize with the twisted cup situation bc FO REAL that’s annoying!

So, depending on how you guys like or don’t like this, it will determine future styles and if @popflex_active makes more of these!

✨Celeste Mesh Bralette✨

✔️ No removeable cups. I used spacer fabric inside the bust area. It’s cushioned and stretchy so it molds to your boobs. It’s like cups but sewn in!
✔️ Contoured underbust seam with darts to match the natural shape of your boobs (cuz comfort duh)
✔️ Longer length to give the feel of a bralette not a traditional sports bra. I love this length bc it stops around the small of your waist and really accentuates your figure.
✔️ high neck with a low neck illusion
✔️ angled armhole for that shoulder pop 💪
✔️ XXS to 3X

This bralette is perf for low impact workouts like Pilates, yoga, barre but also it’s so soooo comfy you could totally lounge in it too.

I’m a 32A so I’m wearing size extra small here!

What do you guys think? Are you a bra cup or no bra cup kinda girlie?

♥️ Cassey

PS: The Celeste is avail right now on popflexactive.com in 3 colors and 9 sizes. Enjoy!

Pancake of the moment 🥞 These were a staple thr

Pancake of the moment 🥞 These were a staple throughout my 90 Day Journey to muscle - I mean ✨25g of protein✨, but also, they actually just taste really good! I was salivating as I was editing this 🤤

Here’s the recipe for my Supersculpt Pancakes:

This recipe makes 6 small pancakes like in my video.

▪️2 scoops Blogilates Sculpt + Debloat Protein Powder in Sweet Cream (Chocolate Shake works too) - you can get this at Target 🎯
▪️ 1 TBS tapioca powder (this is the secret ingredient that makes it soft and fluffy! Trusttttttt)
▪️1/3 c liquid egg whites
▪️ 2 TBS water
▪️ 1 tsp baking powder

Calories: 182 | Protein: 25g | Fat: 0g | Carbs: 14g | Fiber: 5g | Net-Carbs: 10g

Every time it’s a winner! Soft, fluffy and full of protein. If you use the exact ingredients above, you will get the pancakes I made. I cannot guarantee that another protein powder will work this way. I’ve made hundreds of protein pancakes throughout my life and many turn our rubbery. Not sure if it’s the whey or what - but the blend of pea and brown rice protein in the Blogilates powder is soooo good for cooking!! Cookability, specifically pancakeability was tested throughout the development process 👩🏻‍🍳 Enjoy!

She’s changed.

And I think you’re gonna like her 😉

Took several months to make small changes to the @popflex_active Twirl Dress because I don’t just restock things to restock things. I take time to make them better. Ready for Gen 2?

Here’s what I changed:

✔️ made the total torso and skort a teensy longer for slightly more coverage
✔️ increased the length of the inner shelf bra to help accommodate larger boobs
✔️ removed the front seam so it’s truly anti-🐫

Here’s what I kept:

✔️pockets
✔️waist snatching drawstring
✔️circle skirt for ultimate twirlability

I’m wearing sz XS but I’m normally a small. I just like my dresses extra tight and short 😘 It’s avail right now on popflexactive.com! I’m wearing the color “peppercorn”.

Ps: I need to go take my heels 👠 classes again! I recorded this 20 second dance like 25 times and kept running out of moves somehow.

Decided to mate my 2 faves and create something new 😉 Took the plushness of the Cocoon Coat and the stapleness of the Cloud Hoodie and birthed the @popflex_active ☁️Faux Sherpa Cloud Hoodie☁️

I’m the type of person who runs cold all the time so this warmth makes my body so so happy! I am 5’5” wearing the s/m. This cut is slightly more cropped than the normal cloud hoodie so if you want a lil more coverage or length feel free to size up!

This comes in 3 colors and goes from XXS/XS to 1X/3X. Just uploaded the 3 colors to popflexactive.com so you can get it now!

Hmm now all I need is a matching something on the bottom…

Wait.

Wait.
