Bonjour!
After an Epic fail of a hockey game (congrats to the US team!), Eric and I slinked off to do WMM2 with our tails between our legs. All was well until we began. My husband proceeded to morph into Richard Simmons. He was doing the most exaggerated poses I have ever seen, pretending he was a yoga master, whirling his arms around, and making loud, breathy noises.
I started with the full plank and crumbled to the ground in laughter at his antics. He started to do the fastest bicycle crunches I have ever seen in my life. I thought he was going to pull a muscle!! It was utterly hilarious.
I. could. not. hold. a pose. for. the. life. of. me.
Need less to say, my abs got a workout, but not in the traditional format! ;)
I concluded two things:
1) My husband is sabotaging me because he wants better abs come Jan 31st.
2) I need to hide a whittle cam in the room.
GAME ON, HUSBAND. GAME ON.
I tried to piece it together, but it is a bit blurry… ;)

Get ready…

‘Cuz us two crazy Canucks might be coming to a city near you!
We found a sale on flights to Florida (Westjet) after months of searching!
The sale was only on for the end of March, so we booked our trip from March 20-April 1st.
We will be staying in Naples with my mom and stepdad. Eric and I are planning on renting a car and road trippin’ around Florida’s coast for a bit too.
I used to live in Florida when I was young, but Eric has never been to Florida before, so it would be fun to do some touristy things for him. I’d also love to plan some blog meet-ups along the way! I’m hoping to find a good deal on a rental car and possibly a couple hotels along our road trip.
73 days of winter to go!
Putting it that way seems long. :(

This is the nicest yoga tote I have ever laid eyes on!
The amazing team from Lululemon surprised me with this awesome yoga tote. I almost died with delight when I opened the box.
Lots of pockets, zippers, straps, and detailing.
As much as I love, love, love this yoga tote, I would love even more to be able to make someone else happy and spread the Lulu love and good Karma.
I am going to give it away to one lucky reader.
Errr…maybe I won’t.
I’m sorry I like it too much. I can’t part with it!

On the agenda for Wednesday is a CSD– ‘Crazy Shipping Day’
I meant to mention that I am throwing an Empower (chocolate coffee) Glo Bar in with the Healthy Resolutions Fit Packs. Empower is quickly becoming the #1 customer favourite, so I figured I would include it into the pack too. When you open the Empower package a wonderful aroma of coffee fills the air. It is a great morning bar.
Namaste!
Ok, dying here. I’m obsessed with lululemon! After checking out their site, I’d love to buy everything! LOL! But seriously, I’d probably buy another pair of their pants. I have the Rockstar Pant and love them, so I think now I’d try the Groove Pant, which is supposedly their top selling pair of pants.
I’d also love to try their skidless yoga towel. I actually got it for my mom as one of her Christmas presents. I can’t wait to hear if she likes it!
GREAT GIVEAWAY!
As for Florida, come to the east coast of South Florida (Miami/Ft Lauderdale area!!!!).
How can I only pick one thing?!? Everything looks awesome, I would want it all! However, I really like the Remix Lulu Hoodie in black :)
I love their hoodies! I’ve been wanting one for a while. Love your site. :)
Oh gosh, I LOVE that bag!! I would love another Lulu hoodie too. I bought my first and only 2 years ago as a treat for landing my first “real” job :).
yoga pants are my number one must have from lululemon. they have a variety of sizes, which i have never ever seen before.
EVERYTHING from Lulu is at the top of my list! As a family of four living on a single income, I simply can’t justify/afford Lulu. But a girl can dream and drool, right?!
I would love to try out some of their pants. I’m 5 9 and its impossible for me to find pants long enough for me, so every workout bottom I have is a capri or short. Buuut living in MN, it would be so, so, so nice to find a pair of pants that would cover all my legs!
AHH i lovve that lulumon bag <3 but my favvvee product is their black leggings, perfect for working out (and going to class!!!)
and have fun in florida!!
Oh wow can I have one of everything =) I thought I really wanted the Remix Lulu hoodie the most, but now I am in love with this bag! When in FL you have to go see the Manatee’s they are so amazing and mystical. We see them at Apollo Beach but you can see them many places just google the tours! Can’t wait to meet at the Toronto Half!
Anything, I don’t own anything from lululemon and I covet it all! :)
I don’t know how far you guys are planning on traveling around but Viscaya is beyond amazing if you are near Miami.
Hi Angela!
My number one LuLu piece that I would die without is my Ta Ta Tamer. I LOVE that bra, and really have no idea how I made so far in life without it. It is light, comfortable, and most importantly supportive for the girls! Greatest bra ever, I definitely recommend it to everyone for running or other high impact sports, or for just walking the dogs.
I am pretty sure my favorite lululemon product is that yoga tote! Pink is my favorite color, HOT pink makes me squeal :) I want that tote and a purse that looks just like it! Too cute! Thanks for giving it away, I am SURE it is hard to part with!
Bahaha. Richard Simmons was on Ellen this morning — so this made me literally laugh out loud. haha
I LOVE Lululemon’s tracker jacket (particularly the grey/white combo — soo pretty!) …but pretty much everything on their site calls to me! haha
Wow what a beautiful yoga tote! I keep saying when I get to goal I will look at the web site and or go to the store to treat myself to something from them- So I have no faves yet- but that bag is beautiful! :)
I had a gift card and ordered the Still pants the other day. I’m also coveting the Gather Together jacket. (my girlfriend has a black one with a hot pink zipper and it looks AH-
Naples is lovely area. Our friends have a condo on Marco Island (where we stay when we go down) and we drive to Naples frequently (Wynn’s Market for organic groceries, Tin City for a fun early evening out and Coastland Center for shopping)also if your family has seafood lovers, Snook Inn on Marco Island is a top rated (yet very casual) restaurant where you can sit and watch the manatee swim as you dine.
I would love a pair of basic black Lululemon yoga pants…I don’t think I’d ever take them off!
No suggestions for Florida, as I’ve never been. Sounds like fun, though! :)
OMG! I love that yoga tote! It’s gorgeous and pink (the brighter the better) is my favorite color :)
I would love anything from Lululemon, since I don’t have any! A jacket and yoga pants would be nice to start off with :)
Oh goodness, you are so right, this tote is perfection!! I own one Lululemon yoga top and adore it. Next on my wish list is the Run Hills Pullover – saving, saving, saving! :)
Awesome! I know there are at least 3 bloggers in Miami :) Or if you are in the Gainesville area, that could possibly work for me since I’m up there once a month.
The shape jacket! I have one and I LOVE it. I know I should branch out but I can’t. I wear it constantly so I feel like it’s the piece of theirs that I get the most bang for my buck!
Your trip sounds amazing! My parents have a place in Ft. Lauderdale and I love it. It’s great to go down there and escape the Wisconsin winters :) You guys will have a blast wherever you end up!
I have a looooong Lululemon wish list. The Remix Lulu Hoodie in Fruitie Tootie / Pow Pink is at the top of that list right now. It would look fabulous with that yoga tote, no? :)
Oh wow, that yoga tote is fabulous! I’ve been eyeing a speed skirt from Lululemon for a long time now.
I love the Florida Keys!
Gorgeous tote!
I found your blog from … somewhere, I forget. But at least we’re both easterners (NL here) living in Ontario!
I recently purchased two pairs of running pants from Lulu, and actually received them in the mail yesterday. So I won’t pick those as my favorites. Hmm. Okay, I piiiiiiick: the tracker jacket (Loving those bright colors!) http://shop.lululemon.com/Tracker_Jacket/pd/c/550/np/550/p/1784.html
Good luck everyone!
I have a very loooooooooong Lululemon wishlist, but among the many things are their super comfy tanks and amazing/infamous yoga pants!
Have an AWESOME time in FL!
Angela, you’re too awesome!! Thanks for the giveaway!
All my friends say that lulu yoga pants are bum perfectors, so I’d love to try their Groove yoga pants!
A new remix hoodie, mine is almost 5 years old and it’s seen better days!
So sad about team canada :(
My favorite Lulu items at this chilly time of year are the relaxed fit yoga pants and Remix hoodies. On my wishlist – a Lulu yoga tote. I got a yoga mat for Christmas LAST year and I’m still carting it around ‘naked’.
I sooo want the gratitude/savasana wrap but it is either sold out everywhere or out of season! Really need a bag for my massive manduka yoga mat too so this would be wonderful!
You must visit all of us Orlando folks! You could hit like, 10 birds with one stone :) And as a fellow vegan, you’d love some of the vegan-friendly restaurants we have here (more than I’ve found in any other city in Florida!)
I want the Tracker Jacket in faded zap/sidewalk
I’m from Jersey so I really only know all the tourist spots! Actually heading to Daytona next week, can. not. wait.
OMG So pretty!
The item at the top of my wishlist would be the Leader Of The Track Skirt. From the pictures, it appears to have the potential to make one’s backside look large or unshapely, but for a skirt that cute I don’t care!
I’ve never been to Florida, but I would of course recommend packing some GloBars for snacking. Have a great trip!
I have been in need of a new pair of plain old lulu yoga pants, my last pair lasted me 4 years! love lulu xoxo
Thanks for the awsome give away missy:)
OMG – 333 comments!
I just wanted to say that it is incredibly generous and kind of you to pass that beautiful bag on. I hope that you get all of the good karma that you deserve!
I went to college in St. Petersburg and love the whole West Coast. I’d love to be in Sanibel or Captiva Island right now!! You are going to have a fun trip!
You are too generous!! I would like a shape jacket or a yoga tote…perfect for carrying my gear to hot yoga.
Btw, your interview on CTV was great!!
aw you and your husband are so cute!! I would love a pair of yoga pants from lulu lemon, but that bag would be absolutely perfect as well!
HAHAHAHA! Your husband is funny! Please hide a whittle cam…please!
I love their relaxed yoga pants, so comfy and functional! Actually, I just plain love all their yoga pants :)
such a nice bag! like everyone else said, i pretty much want everything! i love all of their jackets but next on my list of things i can justify purchasing is the yoga no slip towel.
Hi Britt,
I purchased one of the yogitoes no slip towels from Winners (if you live in Canada) the other day for $30. They sell the exact same one in Lululemon for $55! I was stoked with my bargain so thought I would share the love!
I love the Remix Lulu Hoodie*SE!! I live in Northwest Indiana (just outside of Chicago) and this would be the perfect in-between seasons jacket!
As for places to visit in Florida, you will be near Marco Island (a bit south of Naples). You could also drive over to the Everglades and take a “jungle boat tour”. Destin is way up the panhandle (the Emerald Coast, as it is called) and would be quite a drive, but it is worth it. The water is the most beautiful shade of bluegreen!!! Have an amazing trip!!!
Awesome giveaway! I really want a run racer pullover for chilly morning runs, and I saw the cutest plaid running skirt in the store the other day. I also really want that yoga tote!!
I would love the TA TA Tamer. Have trouble finding a sports bra that fits.
If you make your way to Orlando on your vacationI would love to meet you.
A newy yoga mat! My smelly dog, whom I love dearly, tends to take naps on mine when I’m done doing yoga and forget to roll it up. Needless to say, it’s his yoga mat to do his own downward dogs now! :)
You’re crazy, absolutely nuts. Why would you give this away?
But really, I think this bag is my most coveted item. I’m drooling.
A remix hoodie in a fun colour.
I’m entering this with hopes to win my girlfriend this tote! She would love it. On her Lululemon wish list is a new bag for her yoga mat, so this would be perfect.
Well, I really wanted other things, but since I’ve found out I’m pregnant, I’ve been really wanting a nice yoga bag. I just signed up for a prenatal yoga class (since I’ve been specifically told my midwife to STOP running). I have a beautiful lulu yoga mat but need a bag for it.
Glad you found great flights. We’re going in Feb. My kids (4&3) have never been so we’re really excited! Have a great day, Angela!
What an amazing giveaway! I would love to have the Groove Pant T. Or any thing else by Lululemon. You’ve really gotten me intereted in their clothing but everything is so expensive, I’m trying to gather the courage to buy stuff. Have fun in Florida!!
Love the Run:Speed shorts, perfect for summer running in MN!
what a gorgeous yoga tote!!! i haven’t purchased anything from lululemon yet because i haven’t found a store close to me yet. i would love the run:hills pullover in pow pink! the name itself is great :)
next trip to the us for you has to be BOSTON ;) florida will be amazing of course . you and eric are too cute with your competitive wmm.
That bag is gorgeous! I’m really thinking of gettng the Run: racer pullover because of the mittens. how adorable!
I would kill for that tote! Love it. My wish list would be the Run:Racer pullover!
Have so much fun in Florida!
On my Lululemon wish list: more exercise bras – theirs are great – they have a good amount of bras that are appropriate for ladies with a bigger chest like mine – tough to find a good exercise bra for us sometimes :)
You and Eric are so cute :)
I am in LOVE with enell sports bras..I was blessed with the big girls too, and my lord do the enell bras work. they’re seriously the only ones that allow me to run without feeling like i’m going to give myself a black eye. they’re a bit pricier than most sports bras, but soooooo worth it.
