Hello. I have entered my ☁️comfort era☁️ and I am never leaving.

Yes sports bras and leggings need to lift and sculpt and that tightness is perfect for performance wear - but sometimes I don’t wanna perform. I just want to lay on a cloud, dream, and let the softness to engulf my body.

You guys, this Cloudstretch fabric is the best fabric my body has ever experienced. The only way to describe it is ooey gooey. It’s thick and soft and stretchy and cozy - you’ll only truly understand once you feel it against your skin.

This is my first ever experiment into loungewear and I hoping I can do more in this category because it was so fun making chic looking clothes for my 🥔 days. And to be clear: just because I feel like I 🥔 does not mean I want to look like one too! I will be a cute 🥔!

What color is your fave?

PS: I’m wearing the @popflex_active S/M Ooey Gooey Mockneck Sweater with size S Ooey Gooey Lounge Shorts! Everything is very oversized but I like it that way so I am wearing my normal size.

The sweater and shorts range from XXS to 3X, and come in 4 colors! ✨Popflexactive.com✨

Not all leggings are created equal. But, it’s hard to tell from online photos…especially with shady “dupey” brands photoshop everything from colors to bodies so you don’t even know what you’re getting.

I’m going to tell you an insider piece of knowledge: fabric is one of the biggest raw costs of a legging. There’s no getting around that. So if you see 2 leggings that look fairly similar, but one is way way wayyyy cheaper than the other…beware of fabric. When brands cheap out on fabric, you can’t tell in a pic, but once you get into any real activity, that thing will most likely not be squat proof and you’ll be pulling on it all day to stay on.

I’m excited to share that my @popflex_active Anti-Cameltoe Supersculpt Legging is back and in colors for the first time!

✔️pockets
✔️anti-cameltoe construction
✔️no pinch waistband
✔️squat proof
✔️anti-slip (major stretch and resilience thanks to the Buttersmooth fabric)
✔️ v-booty lifting seam
✔️3 lengths (petite, regular, tall)
✔️xxs-3x

Yayyyy!!! Any questions? Ask me below!

One thing about me that you don’t know is that I

One thing about me that you don’t know is that I’m not someone who gets stressed easily. I don’t really get nervous either. But it wasn’t always like this. When I was younger, my body would physically shake when I got up to speak in front of the classroom.

How did I overcome my fear, stress and anxiety?

Well first, it took years and years of practice facing my fears head on…but…in doing so, I came up with a 3 step routine that helped me calm down in high stress situations.

EMOTIONAL: I talk it out with someone I trust. I’m so lucky to have @samlivits to vent to and cry in front of. It’s so important to allow yourself to feel the feels. Don’t suppress.
MENTAL: Once I get most of the feels out, it’s time to be logical and come up with a game plan. When I have a solution, immediately I feel better because it helps me know that the state I’m in is just temporary.
PHYSICAL: With a solution in place, now all I have to do is just do something about it. Whether it’s literally executing the game plan, making space between me and the problem, working out, getting a massage or giving myself a massage with my @therabody Theragun mini (which is on sale for Black Friday btw - it’s $40 off!) DOING is the final step. #therabodypartner

For my fear of public speaking for example, here’s how I dealt:

EMOTIONAL: I was in 5th grade, body shaking, terrified to be speaking in front of people. At this point in my life, I talked to my mom and dad about how much I hated giving speeches.
MENTAL: I told myself I wanted to get over this fear. I told myself I needed to find a way to get better at public speaking. I started searching for classes.
PHYSICAL: In 6th grade, I signed up for Speech as my “fun” elective. Then I entered my middle school’s speech contest. I ended up winning 2nd place. I would later go on to be a part of the speech and debate team in high school.

These days I use the same formula when I’m faced with a challenge. I’m running a business that’s rapidly growing, so literally everyday there’s new problems 🥲 But hey, I’m grateful for these problems because they force me to grow, get better, and get stronger.

Hope this helps you! What stresses you out??

PS: If you haven’t tried @popflex_active yet, go shop my Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sale! It’s the biggest sale of the year! Have fun!! ✨Popflexactive.com

Everything I make, I needed it for myself first. M

Everything I make, I needed it for myself first. My inspiration always comes from problems that I have to solve because I can’t find what I want anywhere.

Since it’s Black Friday, I wanted to give more of you a chance to try my designs by dropping the prices on some of my favorite @popflex_active pieces.

1️⃣ Super 90 Day Journal (54% off), regular price $26, SALE: $12

I used my 90 day journal on both of my journeys and seriously, this was a game changer and a key factor to my success. I was dedicated to writing and reflecting in it daily everyday for 90 days. My food, mood, water, sleep, and workouts etc.

2️⃣ Ella duffle in rose (36% off), regular price $195, SALE: $125

I couldn’t find a cute gym bag that could hold my yoga mat too, so I made my own. I’m obsessed with the waterproof neoprene material! I use this bag on all of my travels as well because it fits my laptop, holds my 64 oz bottle, and has a secret compartment for shoes!

3️⃣ Starry Night 64 oz bottle (58%), regular price $48, SALE: $20

Hydration is important to be: great for my digestion, skin and overall energy! I wanted a super cute bottle that could hold 1/2 a gallon of water and would keep it ice cold for 24+ hours!

4️⃣ Vegan suede yoga mat in celestial dreams (41% off), regular price $59, SALE: $35

I’ve been making mats since 2013, always evolving and improving, and when the vegan suede hit in 2016, it stayed! I love this mat so much because it gets grippier as I get sweatier and the color doesn’t shred off! This is my staple Pilates mat.

I hope you are having fun shopping the sale! What are you grabbing?!
