girl, you made me think I needed to adjust my color when you said the hoodie dress is olive green. I thought, damn my tv is seeing emerald! whew, thanks for the correction 🤣 I like greens 1 and 2
Just wanted to pop in here with some knowledge regarding recycled polyester. A lot of brands when using recycled polyester use recycled plastic bottles - but what many people don't know is that plastic bottles are usually made from PET plastic, which is really bad for you if it comes in direct contact with your skin for a longer period of time, as your skin absorbes the chemicals, which may lead to some health issues in the long run. I recommend reading "To Dye For" by Alden Wicker - it's truly eye opening!!! I'm saying this as someone who has been studying textiles for the past year.
Yes! It bothers me how dangerous some clothes actually are but advertise themselves as Vegan as if they are better than natural fiber clothing like wool or linen
I wonder what the health risks of that are compared to other sources of plastic we come into contact with everyday? I mean, the skin is typically an effective barrier and absorbs far less of a dose of poison than ingesting it would. On the other hand, unless you make a concerted effort to avoid it, our food typically comes into contact with plastic which may or may not result in our ingestion of those very same chemicals but I would assume would have far worse consequences because the route of exposure. Not to mention the burning of fossil fuels and VOCs other air pollution that we inhale on a daily basis. Everyone has their own personal levels of what they are comfortable with, but personally I’m not going to worry about something on my skin when we are probably ingesting and inhaling those same chemicals from different sources.
I’m not one to comment but I did want to give my opinion on the commission/code. I feel like all of us here who know you and have been here a while understand that you always give your honest opinion regardless of if something was paid or not, so don’t think that you shouldn’t take the commission you could get just because some people want to misunderstand you. I’m all for you having a code! ❤ EDIT: this is crazy, never have I had so much engagement on a comment before 😱 BUT Just so everyone is aware, Mia DOES has a code now, it’s “MAPLES” for 15% off!
Yes I am and I’m sorry but she does these videos for us ! So we don’t waste money on products that aren’t worth it… so gurl make ur coin !!! We love and trust you ❤
I was coming here to say the same thing. I’ve been watching her videos for a long time now. I genuinely trust her reviews. I feel like most if not all of her audience does as well.
One fabric recommendation I'd give for a more sustainable activewear option: bamboo!! I tried it a few years ago with an Australian active/casual brand, and I am CONVERTED. Cons are that it can be more expensive & although it's definitely more sustainable than most, it's not 100% perfect, but it's literally one of the most comfortable & sweat-resistant fabrics I have ever tried. Give it a go!
A lot of textile manufacturers use harmful chemicals and processes to make bamboo fabrics that are devasting to the enviroment. The australian ones have been found dumping chemical waste in the outback.
@@jaquinicole2936I googled it and in an article by euro news called ‘Bamboo: Eco-friendly fabric or environmental disaster?’ it discusses the chemical processes, which are the same as is done for regular rayon and viscose using tree pulp and cotton, and that a lot of companies (the article discussed a group looking into India, Indonesia and China specifically but it also said most viscose manufacturers are guilty of this) were found chemdumping in waterways but the main thing for bamboo not necessarily being super eco friendly (since that chemdumping is consistent with non-bamboo versions of the materials too) is that, although bamboo is more environmentally friendly in that it requires less water than trees or cotton, the farming of it also often involves harmful levels of deforestation to make room to grow the bamboo since it takes up a lot of surface area The article has different pros and cons and comparisons and stuff so read if you want more details, idk specifically about the Australian companies as I couldn’t find that
I do appreciate your integrity and honesty. It’s nice to be able to watch a creator and know that they cannot be bought so you are getting honest reviews you can trust. Thank you for that Mia! I hope you know that even if you do the code for some commission we still trust you and appreciate the honest feedback! But girl get your money! (Especially since you like the brand and have had genuine good experiences with them)
First off, please, at least look up the word "semite" before speaking about it🙂. No one hates jews fyi, we hate isr3lis who play the victim and refuse to see the atrocities they're committing. Most of isr3lis aren't even semite by the way, they're European. Even jews speak up against zion*is*m cause it's the real terr0rism. Also, it's not an "issue" it's a planned genoc!de, if there's anyone causing ana harm, hate or violence it's isr3al. Jews and isr3alis are different if you didn't know. It's actually really easy to look up a few things on the net before deciding on your opinion, which also should be children's safety first. Also, any jew living in isr3al is part of the "issue", simply because they're living on other people's lands, to say they have done "nothing wrong" is simply not true. If they're not against their government they are either willfully ignorant or willfully terr0rists. Boycotting certain brands and celebs isn't "hate" it's choosing not to be part of the k!lling of babies. Nothing has "lead" to these atrocities, it's years of them planning this, they're terr0rists that's all. I chose to open my heart, eyes, and mind that's why I'm never going to support any celeb using their platform to spread misinformation, and can't simply say that murd3ring children is borderline wrong and should be stopped before anything else. I hope I opened your eyes on a few topics, and maybe you'll do your own research after and find the truth yourself.

UPDATE: My code has been turned off because it got picked up by some deal sights, hope everyone who wanted to use it got there chance! Maybe we will have another code in the future
I have been following Cassey for 13+ years and buy/love a lot of Popflex, and I also love your videos and have been watching you for like 7 years so to be able to support two of my favourite influencers while buying functional beautiful clothes that I genuinely love is such a WIN! Thanks Mia!
I love Mia's stand on sustainability and her attention to detail on that. One thing that might be worth thinking about is that making clothing from recycled plastic bottles is not actually more sustainable. It comes down to the fact that plastic bottle recycling is an endless loop, you can keep recycling bottles into other bottles/products over and over and therefore reduce the amount of plastic in the system in the long term. If you then take those bottles and convert them into clothes/fabric you end their potential to be recycled again. Essentially now in fabric form, they can never be recycled into something else (or very rarely), and it means those clothes (and therefore plastic) will ultimately end up in the landfill. I do think using sustainable fabrics is great and definitely appreciate that Mia has done A LOT of research on this, just a little wary about suggesting making clothes from recycled bottles. Anyways thanks again Mia for another awesome video!
The way plastic is currently recycled is more of a downward spiral than an infinite loop. The quality of plastic degrades each time it’s recycled so it can only be recycled a limited number of times before becoming unusable. That’s why it’s best to use less plastic overall. Use a reusable water bottle and take care of your clothes in order to make them last long (since plastic-less clothes isn’t always possible). Turn unwearable clothes into rags or stuffing if possible. That’s why recycling is last in “reduce, reuse and recycle”.
You can’t use recycled plastic bottles to make new plastic bottles-it can only be used as food grade plastic ONCE! I’ve read this type of comment so many times but it’s simply not true…
Critique doesn't mean negative - a lot of TH-camrs seem to think it does. It's: a detailed analysis and assessment of something... so everything you're saying is Critique, Mia... You're usually spot on with looking at details... that's why people like your videos - there's no hype/trend-following.. you do well to try & show the good & bad in products
Girl get that commission! You’ve been here for so long that all your true supporters know how honest and authentic you are. You deserve to get some extra coin
I believe the historical fashion girlies would have something to say about the biker jacket arm stretching thing. Apparently it's harder to raise your arms in modern clothes since the armholes are cut too big. So theoretically a well fitted leather jacket with properly sized arm holes should be okay to move in
I think Girlfriend Collective and Patagonia have both proven that quality activewear can be made with recycled materials. I understand activewear is hard to make with natural fabrics- but we already have so polyester on earth already. If Popflex wants to prove they care about sustainability- I think they’d put more priority into converting the existing items they have into recycled fabrics rather than releasing the many new items that they have been lately.
I was just saying to my partner that I've noticed your confidence grow so much over the past couple years. I know you've always been very honest and you've always had a lot of integrity (I've been here since 2017 so I know your style), but recently I've been appreciating your willingness to be more authentic, less filtered, and more critical. It never comes off as malicious in any way, but it's nice to feel like we're getting to hear what you really think, rather than the most positive spin on your real opinion (which is what some of your older reviews felt like). I hope none of this comes off as criticism. I just wanted to give you props for being confident enough to be real with us and say what you really think, I appreciate it so much!! Keep up your criticism about brands not being transparent enough about ethics and sustainability, it's not being mentioned enough!! Love you and all your videos Mia, thanks for all you do for us. We appreciate you for who you really are!
I actually appreciate a lot that you generally don’t accept commissions on reviews, and are always transparent about it. As much as we all like to think we are not swayed by these things, we are. We are human. That being said, I don’t think a coupon code crosses the line, especially where you formulate/ release the review first. Love your content! You are a shining optimistic star in the Internet universe
Let me just say, that if she produces her clothes in China, and DOESN’T showcase safe/fair working environments or any ethical certifications, it is a sweatshop. No company would go through the trouble and cost of making sure their products are made ethically and not advertise it. Same with environmental certifications and processes. So, no, this is not ethically or sustainably made. Still costs a ton.
I have a few pieces and at the very least they aren’t cheaply made, which means people are being given the time to do things properly. IMO that speaks against sweatshop conditions.
@@BlackCanary87 It not being cheap materials nor rushed doesn't speak on whether its being made in a sweatshop or not. Sweatshops are about the conditions of the workers not about the end product of their work.
Here's the thing with all that black and white thinking. To get such certificates and I don't mean the ones you can just buy, you have to have exceptionally good conditions (environmental and personnel). So, not having a certificate doesn't automatically mean your running sweatshop, powered by starving people and an unfiltered coal burning plant. You could absolutely have noticeably less negative impact on the environment and pretty ok working conditions.
I usually don't comment on videos but there is something important I want to point out! I am a textile and clothing technology student and polyester isn't always a bad choice and recycled polyester isn't always a good choice either!! Suppose you use polyester from PET bottles as mentioned. In that case, you are taking something away from a system that is good at recycling its material and putting it into a form where it can no longer be recycled. Fibers are difficult to recycle, especially when mixed with other materials such as elastane or cotton, it makes it impossible to split them apart into their main materials again. Also, cotton sounds nice because it is a 'natural' fiber but you have to keep in mind the ethics and sustainability of growing this crop. It is very hard to determine what the best material choice is, but I encourage everyone to research this a little more. Just because something is recycled, it doesn't mean it's the most sustainable choice and just because something is synthetic, it also doesn't mean it's the worst choice :)
those overalls and tote bag are soo much cuter than I thought they would be. Also people who have watched you for a while will know that your thoughts and opinions are super honest so you should def take the commission and stuff.
The thing about the cold nose for the motorcycle jacket, it’s actually extremely common to get a cold nose when you’re on a motorcycle! I also really love the way she made the extended liner over most of your hands too. When on a motorcycle you almost always need gloves especially if your riding at night and or if your from any New England states (or states with drastic temp fluctuations throughout the day)
I always appreciate a coupon code, and I like the idea that you get a bit from it, too! Personally, I'm not worried about it swaying your opinion (especially since you go out of your way to be transparent in all your videos!). :)
I may be an outlier... but this is the only "review"-type channel I watch besides Safiya Nygaard's channel. You both give entertaining investigative reviews of things that are trending. It's not a sales platform, it's an entertainment channel. If you change the business model to be a sales platform, please mark those videos clearly in the titles as advertisements, because I would skip over those videos. Also, there are SO many sales channels on social media. So the fact that you have a successful entertainment channel makes your content (and Safiya Nygaard's content) different. I would never actively seek out the sales/discount-code/multi-level-marketting channels, but I search for your content on a daily basis because it's uplifting and fun. It's a refreshing escape from the onslaught of attention-draining sales pitches that make up the majority of online content. It seems like Blogilates puts a lot of work into designing functional and cute activewear. I find it off-putting when Cassie posts emotional videos with soft piano ballads playing the background if anyone criticizes her products. There's also a huge difference between how her products are reviewed by her "friends" (ie her commission-paid sales team), vs people who specialize in activewear in general and who don't allow her to track their audience through links or codes. If she wants you to join her sales team, ask her to pay you for all your integrity and your audience's attention is worth! I'm on your side and I support what you've created here and how special it really is! ♥
I think you misunderstood her question. She didn't ask if she should do sponsored videos as review videos. She asked if offering her coupon code would be ok, since she makes a little (very little btw) money from the sales using the coupon. The reviews would still be the same, no sponsor, not being paid to talk about it, she would just mention the coupon. USING LINKS AND COUPONS IS NOT BEING SPONSORED OR "SELLING THINGS" Taking the example you used, Safiya has used coupons and affiliate links from time to time and that doesnt change her content. Also, the only thing using her coupon "tracks" is the amount of people that watched her and bought things, the same with the links. Not to mention that the prices of these clothes are high and would be nice for people to spend less money if they could. It's a win-win.
I thought I was being hypercritical of Cassie pretending to be sad when there were nicely-worded criticisms of her designs. Most of the time, she’s like “Okayyy I guess I /could/ do this for you guys.” At least, she took her customers’ criticisms into her redesign process. Maybe, she was trying to be humorous. But it came out as weird to me.
Girl people watch you because you are so authentic and transparent, i don’t think anyone would misunderstand if you took the deal and its also a brand you like so why not give your followers a coupon code its a win win ❤️
Just pitching in to say I actually do appreciate creator codes. I can usually tell for myself if I do or don't want something, but even having the option to participate in a sale is always nice. We wouldn't follow you if we didn't trust you, Mia. Much love ♥
Hey Mia, love your videos just a quick clarification on the subject of fibres- Polyester is actually less environmentally taxing than cotton if you compare them side by side (to produce) however the issue is the fact that it’s not meant to last so the actual garment might not last long but it takes ages to degrade in the environment. Also there are far more polyester items and garments including blends that are produced as it’s cheap and widely available. However barring that, as far as i know 100% polyester isn’t necessarily a bad thing if the garment is constructed well and you plan on using it for a long time (even issey Miyake uses this for the pleats please line). Do look out for poly-cotton blends though as garments like that usually don’t maintain their fibre quality and end up feeling worn after a single wash
recycled polyester is often made with plastics bottles which are a type of plastic that is super harmful long term against the skin. At the end of the day polyester is still incredibly devastating. Cotton can be made sustainably where as polyester cannot
I agree with the other commenters that after all these years, we trust you completely and would never judge you for providing us with a code. Listen, every discount helps us these days! Big Hugs.
Numbers 1 and 6 are my favorite greens. I adore that purse! The hoodie dress and the hiking pants are so cute on you. I would love to have the perfect plane pants in several colors. Thanks for always giving us such honesty, Mia. You are truly a gem. 💕
I feel like the puffer jacket is probably the most flattering, feminine puffer jacket I’ve seen. That being said, it’s still a puffer jacket and they’re always gonna be bulky and not the most flattering garment haha, cause they’re made for warmth mainly. Cassey is pretty clever to make it look that decent!
i love how mia always gives us her true honest opinion on products, clothes, etc. unlike other creators who come across as if they're only trying to get us to spend money (to in turn earn them money) mia actually tells us the truth and cares about what her fans are gonna possibly be spending their money on. thanks mia!
I really love how you have the habit of being respectful to the creator and giving your opinions fairly. You are almost the only TH-camr doing that BTW my favourite green is no. 2
Honestly you are one of the few TH-camrs I actually trust to give an honest review no matter if you are getting paid or not. You are super transparent so I say give us a code!!!
I love colors 1 and 2! Also, get your commission ❤ I do understand where you’re coming from in trying to prevent any distrust, but you have more than proved yourself to be genuine. I trust that you are honest with your viewers. I truly believe you have only good intentions with your followers. Love your work Mia!! Can’t wait for your sweat pants!!!!
Mia, we truly 100% love and support your honesty in products, its SO necessary in today's online content consumption and also for online purchasing, as consumers. I personally just want you to keep encouraging awareness in buying and sustainability 🙏 we know how clogged the world is with sketchy companies and fabrics profiting off of employees in sweat shops etc, so your contribution to awareness in these topics is fundamental and makes me very happy and relieved. Do you girl! If you wanna get us those coupons I'd be happy as long as the sources are ethical, as the items ♡
I’m so glad I found this video! I’ve been wanting to purchase some things from blogilates but was not sure of the quality or if it was just an online trend. Thank you for taking the time to review them! They seem like great products!
mia i've been watching you for over 6 years & i'd have to say you're one of the few youtubers i trust with any sponsorships/opinions. if any coupon code was offered or you earned money from it in any way, everyone that's been here a while will know your opinions will always be honest. also, green number 2 was my favorite! 💚
i do like the fact that you mention her manufacturing because i think she’s made videos about it before, but even if a majority of her customer base follows her social media there could be those who aren’t and knowing about her mission for ethical standards is important!
I didnt know she posted about showing the workers and being open abt the manufacturers she uses. Any chance you could either tell me the name of the video/post or when it was posted? I'd love to check it out.
mia maples i trust you with my life regardless of coupon code. i know the internet is a highlight reel, but you seem incredibly honest and genuine--I would never assume you'd withhold your honesty for cash. you're awesome :)
The fabric of the first dress was really popular in the late 80s, early 90s-I had a dress just like it only super short and bright pink! I was 16 and it was my favourite dress!! I love everything you tried on in this video, Mia-even the puffer jacket! x
I actually love the white jacket so much. I love those types of jackets😭😭 it was maybe my fav so far. Just love a nice puffy jacket and some flared pants
I think the problem was mainly that the darker colors had a plasticky sheen that definitely gave trash bag. Shape-wise and everything else-wise, though, I agree. If the other colors were still waterproof and matte looking, it would be a stunner. It's sooo cute!
You look great in everything. Thanks for showing us what these things look like on a real person and for caring about our feelings regarding sponsorship. You are an angel. 😇
try wearing red undergarments under your white things!!! doesnt always work but sometimes it's better than nude, depending on the fabric. worth a shot :)
Awh you’re a precious soul. Listen, we know you’ll always stay so humble, genuine & true (it’s why I for one just adore you so much) so take all them sponsorships & get your dollars bookie! We love you Mia & we miss mama Maples whenever she’s not in the videos. I wish y’all would make a separate channel & post more together. I especially LOVE your pranks. 😂 Love, Mandy 🩶
Most trusted creator on youtube... or anywhere actually. I love that you are so relatable... you're beautiful inside and out. I really love this channel.
Hey Mia! If you want to know more about a companies sustainability and ethics details can usually be found (for American companies) on their 10-K or annual SEC report. Sometimes it’s called like a letter to investors or investors report as well (sometimes they’re different things but contain essentially the same info)
I have been watching for a long time now and always love your video's! Please don't take this the wrong way, but here are a few things I have noticed: Whenever you get a piece of clothing, the black color doesn't translate so well on camera. I can't see how the fabric sits, reliëf on body or how the light hits(apart from the closeups). Other colors would be fun and better to see! One other thing, I've noticed an increase the past year in video's of buying lots of stuff and reviewing it on the channel. I kinda miss the other kinds of video's, and this is not really sustainable too. I love the renovation, crafting, sewing, cleaning and cooking video's too! Or maybe something with styling the clothes you alredy own? Or thrift? Would love to hear other vieuwers thoughts aswell :) Thanks for working so hard for us Mia ❤
i agree i did initially start watching her because of her thrifting videos with dresses and also love her 2nd channel due to the cooking and more laid back style. she definitely does have a ton of stuff she’s bought and never uses! she discusses that a lot to on how much she has from never finishing prior videos
She does purchase a lot of items, but she does lots of giveaways to subscribers (like she does in this video) and to great charities as well. I do love and miss the laid back cooking and sewing type videos, but I enjoys these too because she is one of the few authentic people out there.
This has been said on other videos but I think it bears repeating that if a brand was rlly ethical in their production they would shout it from the rooftops. Cassey is so proud of her brand there's no way she wouldn't say it was ethical if it was which leads me to believe that it's just not.
She does say its ethical? It’s on a different part of the website called “social responsibilities” and she goes into great detail about the work environment and ethicality. I’m not sure if she just added it or not but I think that mia just didn’t see it which stinks.
I trust your opinion, Mia. I just got a “miss a” order because of your video and that’s not something I do with people online very often. I have a hard time with trust, but your character has always shined through your interactions and you have been consistent from the beginning. ❤ you are LITERALLY my favorite person online.
We trust you, Mia! Don't ever hesitate to do something beneficial for you (like commission) - we know you have incredible integrity and would never deliberately mislead us. If you believe in something go ahead and take full advantage of any opportunities!
Thank you, not only for your honesty, but also for having a part on sustainability. In my opinion this often is very neglected in the majority of fashion haul videos.
I LOVE SKORTS. Those might be the cutest skorts I’ve ever seen omg. I’ve also been wanting to give overalls/one pieces a shot again, and these definitely have me set. Also, I like colors 1,2, and 6 💚
I always appreciate that you are honest, you let us know what you like and what you don't like, I also loooove that you mention the sustainability and ethics of it, not a lot of people take it into account. I'm fine with you getting your money's worth, I trust you and know you'd still be open and honest about it.
After watching this video, I think I might finally take the plunge and get the airplane pants, the overalls, and cargo skort. I didn't even know about the overalls until this video but was wondering about the other two. Thank you! Also first time watching you, love your personality :)
Love these videos! I think the sustainability is frustrating to me because literally the first product is almost entirely made of synthetic, plastic materials. It's greenwashing and, yes, it is extremely hard to find clothes that aren't using synthetics (especially stretchy clothes) but I'd rather clothes that won't affect the environment so much. Especially for the price tag as well! I know I'd be paying for Cassie's designing etc but the material is a let down. My favs were definitely the plane pants though!
Not to mention it feels like every time I turn around there’s a new item they’re selling. Gives fast fashion vibes to me tbh. I would love to buy her clothing but I think I’ll hold off and try to buy secondhand instead.
Hard agree! I also think that the material isn't being used in the most effective way possible. The enchanted hood and long back on the puffer jacket, for example, use way more material in favor of it being "aesthetic". While I understand that they are fashion items and they're supposed to look good, it feels disingenuous to market something that wastes so much fabric as "sustainable". Definitely greenwashing!
I know this comment is super late, but I was hoping when it comes to popflex products that you could also do a one year update on the products you bought and used. One of my biggest worries, especially since I live in Canada too (hello shipping fees + customs fees) is that everything from popflex is just super expensive. However, I can justify it if the products do truly last. I'd love to know especially how your magic flash duffel bag has faired since you bought it? Do you still like it now after putting it to use? What about the clothes; did the seams end up holding up? Did you have issue with pilling or any quality issues after washing the clothes a bunch of times? Thank you.
Mia, you are the most authentic and genuine youtuber I have ever stumbled upon. That‘s why I haven‘t skipped one video since I discovered you!!! ( and bingedwatched all of the other ones) so please don’t decline commissions, we TRUST YOU 😁🥰
I think the fact that so many influencers are swaying their opinion for cash and you not willing to put your morals on the line makes me like your Channel even more 🥰 So thank you for keeping to who you are !
I love using discount codes from my favorite TH-camrs. I think we all realize that not every piece of clothing is for every body. Having a discount code from someone you want to support definitely helps those of us who like the pieces and want to give them a try while supporting you in the process!
OMG I made it 😂 I came here within five mins but there are already 81 comments 😢lol but I’m soooo happy that you(Mia) are popular now and you didn’t change yourself for popularity and you also give us so honest reviews and I❤U and keep smiling ❤❤❤❤
I’ve made a few purchases from pop flex and they’ve been frustrating. From ordering a medium top to fit my larger bust and realizing it’s still a tad too big. Ordering leggings in my normal size and being too snug. And then ordering the opposite next time and the top suddenly being too small and pants wayyyyyy too big. I had to return all of It. I’ve only ever kept a sweater that’s meant to look oversized. I was nervous to try from the new swimwear line but risked it and was pleasantly surprised (though I will likely return one of the pieces). I just wish these were a tad more consistent. I do have active wear from Aerie and I LOVE them, and can’t get enough! So that’s where I’ll stay for active wear! If I want cozy clothes, maybe I’ll come back to PF.
26:43 either nr. one or nr. 2! Nr. one is giving spring and more lightweight (if that makes sense? lol) while nr. two is giving fall/summer and more warmth. So it depends on what you're going for! I love them both though and would love to say give us them both however I understand it's not smth you just do😅 Love and appreciate you, Mia!!🫶🏼🫶🏼
Please take the commission because we all already know how honest and trustworthy your reviews are. So if we can get the discount while you can get the money, then it’s a win win situation girl!!
As far as you accepting the coupon code for us, let me say this. All of us, that have been here with you forever, know 100% that you are always honest with us and trust your integrity to the fullest!!! Anyone saying anything different, doesn't know you, hasn't been here, and doesn't matter!! ❤❤❤❤
i appreciated your suggestions included talking about ethics! it's kind of you to offer benefit of the doubt but tbh i wonder how much better it is than other working conditions if they don't advertise it. clothes are made ethically abroad and all should be but usually made in china does not bode well.
Green No.3 and No.5 are so so so pretty! I especially love green No.3 because it's not too vibrant and has an elegant, enchanting, forest-y vibe to it, while still matching cute styles
From your colour selections: 2 is best, with 3 in second place. That first white dress- the seam immediately stands out to me as not good. The leather jacket like- not for bikers in any way- leather is super durable and will save your skin in a motorbike accident, which is the point. The “plane” trousers are so cute! The hoodie dress. It looks cute from a distance, but up close the rippling of the strip of fabric at the waist, doesn’t look good. But the colour is also very good. Love the skort so much. The overalls. Yes. Excellent.
i love that puffer jacket so much, i love jackets in that style but you can never find them anywhere. i love so much that they made something like that and i think if more people knew about it, it would be really popular.
Mia get your money hunny! I think you are the only person on the internet I actually trust. I don't see you being anything but honest no matter the circumstances so please do some sponsorships with those brands you vet and like!!

Just wanted to pop in here with some knowledge regarding recycled polyester. A lot of brands when using recycled polyester use recycled plastic bottles - but what many people don't know is that plastic bottles are usually made from PET plastic, which is really bad for you if it comes in direct contact with your skin for a longer period of time, as your skin absorbes the chemicals, which may lead to some health issues in the long run. I recommend reading "To Dye For" by Alden Wicker - it's truly eye opening!!! I'm saying this as someone who has been studying textiles for the past year.
Yes! It bothers me how dangerous some clothes actually are but advertise themselves as Vegan as if they are better than natural fiber clothing like wool or linen
I came here to say this 😂 thank you!
This comment should be pinned!! Thanks you for the info
Some of them also just buy plastic bottles because they don’t have enough to recycle and create with. So that’s also something to keep in mind.
I wonder what the health risks of that are compared to other sources of plastic we come into contact with everyday? I mean, the skin is typically an effective barrier and absorbs far less of a dose of poison than ingesting it would. On the other hand, unless you make a concerted effort to avoid it, our food typically comes into contact with plastic which may or may not result in our ingestion of those very same chemicals but I would assume would have far worse consequences because the route of exposure. Not to mention the burning of fossil fuels and VOCs other air pollution that we inhale on a daily basis. Everyone has their own personal levels of what they are comfortable with, but personally I’m not going to worry about something on my skin when we are probably ingesting and inhaling those same chemicals from different sources.
Mia, please take that money if it's offered! You are such a trustworthy TH-camr and you deserve to make money off of it!

I’m not one to comment but I did want to give my opinion on the commission/code. I feel like all of us here who know you and have been here a while understand that you always give your honest opinion regardless of if something was paid or not, so don’t think that you shouldn’t take the commission you could get just because some people want to misunderstand you. I’m all for you having a code! ❤
EDIT: this is crazy, never have I had so much engagement on a comment before 😱
BUT
Just so everyone is aware, Mia DOES has a code now, it’s “MAPLES” for 15% off!
Yes I am and I’m sorry but she does these videos for us ! So we don’t waste money on products that aren’t worth it… so gurl make ur coin !!! We love and trust you ❤
Yes! Get that money!!
Well said!
Yes!! Her making money is what allows her to continue making these videos for us ❤
I was coming here to say the same thing. I’ve been watching her videos for a long time now. I genuinely trust her reviews. I feel like most if not all of her audience does as well.
One fabric recommendation I'd give for a more sustainable activewear option: bamboo!! I tried it a few years ago with an Australian active/casual brand, and I am CONVERTED. Cons are that it can be more expensive & although it's definitely more sustainable than most, it's not 100% perfect, but it's literally one of the most comfortable & sweat-resistant fabrics I have ever tried. Give it a go!
A lot of textile manufacturers use harmful chemicals and processes to make bamboo fabrics that are devasting to the enviroment. The australian ones have been found dumping chemical waste in the outback.
@@snusmumrickenwhich Australian brands were doing that?
@@jaquinicole2936 yeah and there is not way to produce bamboo fibre that doesn't create toxic waste and gas
@@snusmumrickenthey were asking WHICH Australian brands were caught dumping their waste
@@jaquinicole2936I googled it and in an article by euro news called ‘Bamboo: Eco-friendly fabric or environmental disaster?’ it discusses the chemical processes, which are the same as is done for regular rayon and viscose using tree pulp and cotton, and that a lot of companies (the article discussed a group looking into India, Indonesia and China specifically but it also said most viscose manufacturers are guilty of this) were found chemdumping in waterways but the main thing for bamboo not necessarily being super eco friendly (since that chemdumping is consistent with non-bamboo versions of the materials too) is that, although bamboo is more environmentally friendly in that it requires less water than trees or cotton, the farming of it also often involves harmful levels of deforestation to make room to grow the bamboo since it takes up a lot of surface area
The article has different pros and cons and comparisons and stuff so read if you want more details, idk specifically about the Australian companies as I couldn’t find that
I do appreciate your integrity and honesty. It’s nice to be able to watch a creator and know that they cannot be bought so you are getting honest reviews you can trust. Thank you for that Mia! I hope you know that even if you do the code for some commission we still trust you and appreciate the honest feedback! But girl get your money! (Especially since you like the brand and have had genuine good experiences with them)
First off, please, at least look up the word "semite" before speaking about it🙂. No one hates jews fyi, we hate isr3lis who play the victim and refuse to see the atrocities they're committing. Most of isr3lis aren't even semite by the way, they're European. Even jews speak up against zion*is*m cause it's the real terr0rism. Also, it's not an "issue" it's a planned genoc!de, if there's anyone causing ana harm, hate or violence it's isr3al. Jews and isr3alis are different if you didn't know. It's actually really easy to look up a few things on the net before deciding on your opinion, which also should be children's safety first. Also, any jew living in isr3al is part of the "issue", simply because they're living on other people's lands, to say they have done "nothing wrong" is simply not true. If they're not against their government they are either willfully ignorant or willfully terr0rists. Boycotting certain brands and celebs isn't "hate" it's choosing not to be part of the k!lling of babies. Nothing has "lead" to these atrocities, it's years of them planning this, they're terr0rists that's all. I chose to open my heart, eyes, and mind that's why I'm never going to support any celeb using their platform to spread misinformation, and can't simply say that murd3ring children is borderline wrong and should be stopped before anything else. I hope I opened your eyes on a few topics, and maybe you'll do your own research after and find the truth yourself.

You should pin this comment!❤
I have been following Cassey for 13+ years and buy/love a lot of Popflex, and I also love your videos and have been watching you for like 7 years so to be able to support two of my favourite influencers while buying functional beautiful clothes that I genuinely love is such a WIN! Thanks Mia!
I love Mia's stand on sustainability and her attention to detail on that. One thing that might be worth thinking about is that making clothing from recycled plastic bottles is not actually more sustainable. It comes down to the fact that plastic bottle recycling is an endless loop, you can keep recycling bottles into other bottles/products over and over and therefore reduce the amount of plastic in the system in the long term. If you then take those bottles and convert them into clothes/fabric you end their potential to be recycled again. Essentially now in fabric form, they can never be recycled into something else (or very rarely), and it means those clothes (and therefore plastic) will ultimately end up in the landfill.
I do think using sustainable fabrics is great and definitely appreciate that Mia has done A LOT of research on this, just a little wary about suggesting making clothes from recycled bottles.
Anyways thanks again Mia for another awesome video!
not to mention that PET plastic is actually dangerous to your health if you have it against your skin long term
The way plastic is currently recycled is more of a downward spiral than an infinite loop. The quality of plastic degrades each time it’s recycled so it can only be recycled a limited number of times before becoming unusable. That’s why it’s best to use less plastic overall. Use a reusable water bottle and take care of your clothes in order to make them last long (since plastic-less clothes isn’t always possible). Turn unwearable clothes into rags or stuffing if possible. That’s why recycling is last in “reduce, reuse and recycle”.
You can’t use recycled plastic bottles to make new plastic bottles-it can only be used as food grade plastic ONCE!
I’ve read this type of comment so many times but it’s simply not true…

you are a GEM and a GIRL'S GIRL, for disclosing the sponsored part and that your Opinions dont change .TYSM . Love you ♡ for many years now.
Critique doesn't mean negative - a lot of TH-camrs seem to think it does. It's: a detailed analysis and assessment of something... so everything you're saying is Critique, Mia...
You're usually spot on with looking at details... that's why people like your videos - there's no hype/trend-following.. you do well to try & show the good & bad in products
YES!!! I can’t stand the any criticism equals “hater” mentality.
I agree, plus confusion when you add in "critical" and "criticism".
The square neckline is so flattering on you! I think that's why the deep V with the bandeau looks good because it creates a similar shape!
Girl get that commission! You’ve been here for so long that all your true supporters know how honest and authentic you are. You deserve to get some extra coin
I believe the historical fashion girlies would have something to say about the biker jacket arm stretching thing. Apparently it's harder to raise your arms in modern clothes since the armholes are cut too big. So theoretically a well fitted leather jacket with properly sized arm holes should be okay to move in
And if that’s not enough. Just ad a gusset.
Pretty much.
Basically it has to do with the further down the hole, the more of your bust its pulling up.
Agreed. And historical leather was manufactured to be much softer and more pliable. It was also thinner. So it moved better with the body.
I think Girlfriend Collective and Patagonia have both proven that quality activewear can be made with recycled materials. I understand activewear is hard to make with natural fabrics- but we already have so polyester on earth already. If Popflex wants to prove they care about sustainability- I think they’d put more priority into converting the existing items they have into recycled fabrics rather than releasing the many new items that they have been lately.
Recycled polyester is not always sustainable ... just look it up. Especially when made of PET bottles which could've otherwise been recycled
I was just saying to my partner that I've noticed your confidence grow so much over the past couple years. I know you've always been very honest and you've always had a lot of integrity (I've been here since 2017 so I know your style), but recently I've been appreciating your willingness to be more authentic, less filtered, and more critical. It never comes off as malicious in any way, but it's nice to feel like we're getting to hear what you really think, rather than the most positive spin on your real opinion (which is what some of your older reviews felt like). I hope none of this comes off as criticism. I just wanted to give you props for being confident enough to be real with us and say what you really think, I appreciate it so much!! Keep up your criticism about brands not being transparent enough about ethics and sustainability, it's not being mentioned enough!! Love you and all your videos Mia, thanks for all you do for us. We appreciate you for who you really are!
Yes, I LOVE that’s she’s more critical. I actually used to take her reviews less seriously because she was TOO nice when things didn’t deserve it.
I feel this way too! I love that Mia can be kind, respectful AND critical. So refreshing!
I love that concept of growing older with her , her taste in things are maturing & so has ours as well ❤
I actually appreciate a lot that you generally don’t accept commissions on reviews, and are always transparent about it. As much as we all like to think we are not swayed by these things, we are. We are human.
That being said, I don’t think a coupon code crosses the line, especially where you formulate/ release the review first.
Love your content! You are a shining optimistic star in the Internet universe
Yes, this!
Let me just say, that if she produces her clothes in China, and DOESN’T showcase safe/fair working environments or any ethical certifications, it is a sweatshop. No company would go through the trouble and cost of making sure their products are made ethically and not advertise it. Same with environmental certifications and processes. So, no, this is not ethically or sustainably made. Still costs a ton.
Preach
I have a few pieces and at the very least they aren’t cheaply made, which means people are being given the time to do things properly. IMO that speaks against sweatshop conditions.
@@BlackCanary87 It not being cheap materials nor rushed doesn't speak on whether its being made in a sweatshop or not.
Sweatshops are about the conditions of the workers not about the end product of their work.
@@BlackCanary87that’s unfortunately not the case at all
Here's the thing with all that black and white thinking.
To get such certificates and I don't mean the ones you can just buy, you have to have exceptionally good conditions (environmental and personnel).
So, not having a certificate doesn't automatically mean your running sweatshop, powered by starving people and an unfiltered coal burning plant. You could absolutely have noticeably less negative impact on the environment and pretty ok working conditions.
Mia you are literally the ONLY TH-camr who I completely trust to give us your honest and unbiased opinion. Get the commission girlllll
her and robert welsh ahhaha
You sold me on... everything.
Omg Molly hi ❤
Molly & Mia collab ?!?! yesssssss pls
I usually don't comment on videos but there is something important I want to point out! I am a textile and clothing technology student and polyester isn't always a bad choice and recycled polyester isn't always a good choice either!! Suppose you use polyester from PET bottles as mentioned. In that case, you are taking something away from a system that is good at recycling its material and putting it into a form where it can no longer be recycled. Fibers are difficult to recycle, especially when mixed with other materials such as elastane or cotton, it makes it impossible to split them apart into their main materials again. Also, cotton sounds nice because it is a 'natural' fiber but you have to keep in mind the ethics and sustainability of growing this crop. It is very hard to determine what the best material choice is, but I encourage everyone to research this a little more. Just because something is recycled, it doesn't mean it's the most sustainable choice and just because something is synthetic, it also doesn't mean it's the worst choice :)
those overalls and tote bag are soo much cuter than I thought they would be. Also people who have watched you for a while will know that your thoughts and opinions are super honest so you should def take the commission and stuff.
One problem with using fabric made of plastic (polyester, fleece) is the release of microplastic in the washing machine.
Too many people look at the 'Vegan' tag and assume its environmentally friendly
The thing about the cold nose for the motorcycle jacket, it’s actually extremely common to get a cold nose when you’re on a motorcycle!
I also really love the way she made the extended liner over most of your hands too. When on a motorcycle you almost always need gloves especially if your riding at night and or if your from any New England states (or states with drastic temp fluctuations throughout the day)
I always appreciate a coupon code, and I like the idea that you get a bit from it, too! Personally, I'm not worried about it swaying your opinion (especially since you go out of your way to be transparent in all your videos!). :)
I may be an outlier... but this is the only "review"-type channel I watch besides Safiya Nygaard's channel. You both give entertaining investigative reviews of things that are trending. It's not a sales platform, it's an entertainment channel.
If you change the business model to be a sales platform, please mark those videos clearly in the titles as advertisements, because I would skip over those videos.
Also, there are SO many sales channels on social media. So the fact that you have a successful entertainment channel makes your content (and Safiya Nygaard's content) different. I would never actively seek out the sales/discount-code/multi-level-marketting channels, but I search for your content on a daily basis because it's uplifting and fun. It's a refreshing escape from the onslaught of attention-draining sales pitches that make up the majority of online content.
It seems like Blogilates puts a lot of work into designing functional and cute activewear. I find it off-putting when Cassie posts emotional videos with soft piano ballads playing the background if anyone criticizes her products. There's also a huge difference between how her products are reviewed by her "friends" (ie her commission-paid sales team), vs people who specialize in activewear in general and who don't allow her to track their audience through links or codes. If she wants you to join her sales team, ask her to pay you for all your integrity and your audience's attention is worth! I'm on your side and I support what you've created here and how special it really is! ♥
I think you misunderstood her question. She didn't ask if she should do sponsored videos as review videos. She asked if offering her coupon code would be ok, since she makes a little (very little btw) money from the sales using the coupon. The reviews would still be the same, no sponsor, not being paid to talk about it, she would just mention the coupon. USING LINKS AND COUPONS IS NOT BEING SPONSORED OR "SELLING THINGS"
Taking the example you used, Safiya has used coupons and affiliate links from time to time and that doesnt change her content. Also, the only thing using her coupon "tracks" is the amount of people that watched her and bought things, the same with the links. Not to mention that the prices of these clothes are high and would be nice for people to spend less money if they could. It's a win-win.
I thought I was being hypercritical of Cassie pretending to be sad when there were nicely-worded criticisms of her designs. Most of the time, she’s like “Okayyy I guess I /could/ do this for you guys.” At least, she took her customers’ criticisms into her redesign process. Maybe, she was trying to be humorous. But it came out as weird to me.
Girl people watch you because you are so authentic and transparent, i don’t think anyone would misunderstand if you took the deal and its also a brand you like so why not give your followers a coupon code its a win win ❤️
Just pitching in to say I actually do appreciate creator codes. I can usually tell for myself if I do or don't want something, but even having the option to participate in a sale is always nice. We wouldn't follow you if we didn't trust you, Mia. Much love ♥
Hey Mia, love your videos just a quick clarification on the subject of fibres-
Polyester is actually less environmentally taxing than cotton if you compare them side by side (to produce) however the issue is the fact that it’s not meant to last so the actual garment might not last long but it takes ages to degrade in the environment. Also there are far more polyester items and garments including blends that are produced as it’s cheap and widely available. However barring that, as far as i know 100% polyester isn’t necessarily a bad thing if the garment is constructed well and you plan on using it for a long time (even issey Miyake uses this for the pleats please line). Do look out for poly-cotton blends though as garments like that usually don’t maintain their fibre quality and end up feeling worn after a single wash
recycled polyester is often made with plastics bottles which are a type of plastic that is super harmful long term against the skin. At the end of the day polyester is still incredibly devastating. Cotton can be made sustainably where as polyester cannot
I agree with the other commenters that after all these years, we trust you completely and would never judge you for providing us with a code. Listen, every discount helps us these days! Big Hugs.
Numbers 1 and 6 are my favorite greens. I adore that purse! The hoodie dress and the hiking pants are so cute on you. I would love to have the perfect plane pants in several colors. Thanks for always giving us such honesty, Mia. You are truly a gem. 💕
I feel like the puffer jacket is probably the most flattering, feminine puffer jacket I’ve seen. That being said, it’s still a puffer jacket and they’re always gonna be bulky and not the most flattering garment haha, cause they’re made for warmth mainly. Cassey is pretty clever to make it look that decent!
i love how mia always gives us her true honest opinion on products, clothes, etc. unlike other creators who come across as if they're only trying to get us to spend money (to in turn earn them money) mia actually tells us the truth and cares about what her fans are gonna possibly be spending their money on. thanks mia!
I really love how you have the habit of being respectful to the creator and giving your opinions fairly. You are almost the only TH-camr doing that BTW my favourite green is no. 2
Honestly you are one of the few TH-camrs I actually trust to give an honest review no matter if you are getting paid or not. You are super transparent so I say give us a code!!!
I love colors 1 and 2! Also, get your commission ❤ I do understand where you’re coming from in trying to prevent any distrust, but you have more than proved yourself to be genuine. I trust that you are honest with your viewers. I truly believe you have only good intentions with your followers. Love your work Mia!! Can’t wait for your sweat pants!!!!
Mia, we truly 100% love and support your honesty in products, its SO necessary in today's online content consumption and also for online purchasing, as consumers. I personally just want you to keep encouraging awareness in buying and sustainability 🙏 we know how clogged the world is with sketchy companies and fabrics profiting off of employees in sweat shops etc, so your contribution to awareness in these topics is fundamental and makes me very happy and relieved. Do you girl! If you wanna get us those coupons I'd be happy as long as the sources are ethical, as the items ♡
I’m so glad I found this video! I’ve been wanting to purchase some things from blogilates but was not sure of the quality or if it was just an online trend. Thank you for taking the time to review them! They seem like great products!
mia i've been watching you for over 6 years & i'd have to say you're one of the few youtubers i trust with any sponsorships/opinions. if any coupon code was offered or you earned money from it in any way, everyone that's been here a while will know your opinions will always be honest. also, green number 2 was my favorite! 💚
i do like the fact that you mention her manufacturing because i think she’s made videos about it before, but even if a majority of her customer base follows her social media there could be those who aren’t and knowing about her mission for ethical standards is important!
I didnt know she posted about showing the workers and being open abt the manufacturers she uses. Any chance you could either tell me the name of the video/post or when it was posted?
I'd love to check it out.
mia maples i trust you with my life regardless of coupon code. i know the internet is a highlight reel, but you seem incredibly honest and genuine--I would never assume you'd withhold your honesty for cash. you're awesome :)
The fabric of the first dress was really popular in the late 80s, early 90s-I had a dress just like it only super short and bright pink! I was 16 and it was my favourite dress!! I love everything you tried on in this video, Mia-even the puffer jacket! x
I actually love the white jacket so much. I love those types of jackets😭😭 it was maybe my fav so far. Just love a nice puffy jacket and some flared pants
I think the problem was mainly that the darker colors had a plasticky sheen that definitely gave trash bag. Shape-wise and everything else-wise, though, I agree. If the other colors were still waterproof and matte looking, it would be a stunner. It's sooo cute!
You look great in everything. Thanks for showing us what these things look like on a real person and for caring about our feelings regarding sponsorship. You are an angel. 😇
I love the fairytale puffer jacket- it wouldn’t suit my body type but little red riding hood in the winter with attitude is a whole mood
😐 it needs to be red and obnoxious for me
try wearing red undergarments under your white things!!! doesnt always work but sometimes it's better than nude, depending on the fabric. worth a shot :)
Awh you’re a precious soul. Listen, we know you’ll always stay so humble, genuine & true (it’s why I for one just adore you so much) so take all them sponsorships & get your dollars bookie! We love you Mia & we miss mama Maples whenever she’s not in the videos. I wish y’all would make a separate channel & post more together. I especially LOVE your pranks. 😂 Love, Mandy 🩶
Why are you so great when it comes to being a honest/trustworthy youtuber!!??!! Thank you for always being transparent! You are very appreciated!!!
Most trusted creator on youtube... or anywhere actually. I love that you are so relatable... you're beautiful inside and out. I really love this channel.
your honest reviews are so helpful and if anything, it gives us a more positive view on the brand!
Hey Mia! If you want to know more about a companies sustainability and ethics details can usually be found (for American companies) on their 10-K or annual SEC report. Sometimes it’s called like a letter to investors or investors report as well (sometimes they’re different things but contain essentially the same info)
Oh, what a great resource-thanks for sharing!
I have been watching for a long time now and always love your video's! Please don't take this the wrong way, but here are a few things I have noticed:
Whenever you get a piece of clothing, the black color doesn't translate so well on camera. I can't see how the fabric sits, reliëf on body or how the light hits(apart from the closeups). Other colors would be fun and better to see!
One other thing, I've noticed an increase the past year in video's of buying lots of stuff and reviewing it on the channel. I kinda miss the other kinds of video's, and this is not really sustainable too. I love the renovation, crafting, sewing, cleaning and cooking video's too! Or maybe something with styling the clothes you alredy own? Or thrift?
Would love to hear other vieuwers thoughts aswell :) Thanks for working so hard for us Mia ❤
i agree i did initially start watching her because of her thrifting videos with dresses and also love her 2nd channel due to the cooking and more laid back style. she definitely does have a ton of stuff she’s bought and never uses! she discusses that a lot to on how much she has from
never finishing prior videos
I second buying black items. We can’t see them as well, so getting other colors would be best for videos.
She does purchase a lot of items, but she does lots of giveaways to subscribers (like she does in this video) and to great charities as well. I do love and miss the laid back cooking and sewing type videos, but I enjoys these too because she is one of the few authentic people out there.
@@samsan6360 I agree!
This has been said on other videos but I think it bears repeating that if a brand was rlly ethical in their production they would shout it from the rooftops. Cassey is so proud of her brand there's no way she wouldn't say it was ethical if it was which leads me to believe that it's just not.
Agreed
She does say its ethical? It’s on a different part of the website called “social responsibilities” and she goes into great detail about the work environment and ethicality. I’m not sure if she just added it or not but I think that mia just didn’t see it which stinks.
@elisa9992 I see that section now! I think they just added it and I'm glad they did 😌
I trust your opinion, Mia. I just got a “miss a” order because of your video and that’s not something I do with people online very often.
I have a hard time with trust, but your character has always shined through your interactions and you have been consistent from the beginning. ❤ you are LITERALLY my favorite person online.
We trust you, Mia! Don't ever hesitate to do something beneficial for you (like commission) - we know you have incredible integrity and would never deliberately mislead us. If you believe in something go ahead and take full advantage of any opportunities!
I’m so shocked at how stunning the hoodie dress looked on you cause I was hating at first too 😭😭
Ahhh another wonderful video by our truly!! Love you reviewing biogilates since i love their stuff as well!! Thank youuu ♥️♥️
Love this pieces but what I really enjoy ia how passionate you are about the clothes being sustainable and ethically made ❤
Thank you, not only for your honesty, but also for having a part on sustainability. In my opinion this often is very neglected in the majority of fashion haul videos.
I LOVE SKORTS. Those might be the cutest skorts I’ve ever seen omg. I’ve also been wanting to give overalls/one pieces a shot again, and these definitely have me set. Also, I like colors 1,2, and 6 💚
I always appreciate that you are honest, you let us know what you like and what you don't like, I also loooove that you mention the sustainability and ethics of it, not a lot of people take it into account.
I'm fine with you getting your money's worth, I trust you and know you'd still be open and honest about it.
After watching this video, I think I might finally take the plunge and get the airplane pants, the overalls, and cargo skort. I didn't even know about the overalls until this video but was wondering about the other two. Thank you!
Also first time watching you, love your personality :)
Your honesty and transperancy and also fun videos is why I like you so much
Love these videos! I think the sustainability is frustrating to me because literally the first product is almost entirely made of synthetic, plastic materials. It's greenwashing and, yes, it is extremely hard to find clothes that aren't using synthetics (especially stretchy clothes) but I'd rather clothes that won't affect the environment so much. Especially for the price tag as well! I know I'd be paying for Cassie's designing etc but the material is a let down.
My favs were definitely the plane pants though!
Not to mention it feels like every time I turn around there’s a new item they’re selling. Gives fast fashion vibes to me tbh. I would love to buy her clothing but I think I’ll hold off and try to buy secondhand instead.
Hard agree! I also think that the material isn't being used in the most effective way possible. The enchanted hood and long back on the puffer jacket, for example, use way more material in favor of it being "aesthetic". While I understand that they are fashion items and they're supposed to look good, it feels disingenuous to market something that wastes so much fabric as "sustainable". Definitely greenwashing!
I know this comment is super late, but I was hoping when it comes to popflex products that you could also do a one year update on the products you bought and used. One of my biggest worries, especially since I live in Canada too (hello shipping fees + customs fees) is that everything from popflex is just super expensive. However, I can justify it if the products do truly last. I'd love to know especially how your magic flash duffel bag has faired since you bought it? Do you still like it now after putting it to use? What about the clothes; did the seams end up holding up? Did you have issue with pilling or any quality issues after washing the clothes a bunch of times? Thank you.
I appreciate your honesty while being kind to the brand. It must be really hard knowing they are watching you. You handle it all with so much grace
Mia, you are the most authentic and genuine youtuber I have ever stumbled upon. That‘s why I haven‘t skipped one video since I discovered you!!! ( and bingedwatched all of the other ones) so please don’t decline commissions, we TRUST YOU 😁🥰
Mia, you’re one of the only people I trust to give me an honest review, even with commissions.
I think the fact that so many influencers are swaying their opinion for cash and you not willing to put your morals on the line makes me like your Channel even more 🥰
So thank you for keeping to who you are !
I love using discount codes from my favorite TH-camrs. I think we all realize that not every piece of clothing is for every body. Having a discount code from someone you want to support definitely helps those of us who like the pieces and want to give them a try while supporting you in the process!
I love that you add sustainability now in your videos!
OMG I made it 😂 I came here within five mins but there are already 81 comments 😢lol but I’m soooo happy that you(Mia) are popular now and you didn’t change yourself for popularity and you also give us so honest reviews and I❤U and keep smiling ❤❤❤❤
I clicked right when the notification popped up!!!!! LOVE YOU MIA❤️
I love the fact you review with all the confidence
Love greens 1 and 2 the best! Great video as always ❤
2 or 3 are my favorites for the shade of green! Stunning!
I’ve made a few purchases from pop flex and they’ve been frustrating. From ordering a medium top to fit my larger bust and realizing it’s still a tad too big. Ordering leggings in my normal size and being too snug. And then ordering the opposite next time and the top suddenly being too small and pants wayyyyyy too big. I had to return all of It. I’ve only ever kept a sweater that’s meant to look oversized. I was nervous to try from the new swimwear line but risked it and was pleasantly surprised (though I will likely return one of the pieces). I just wish these were a tad more consistent. I do have active wear from Aerie and I LOVE them, and can’t get enough! So that’s where I’ll stay for active wear! If I want cozy clothes, maybe I’ll come back to PF.
26:43 either nr. one or nr. 2! Nr. one is giving spring and more lightweight (if that makes sense? lol) while nr. two is giving fall/summer and more warmth. So it depends on what you're going for! I love them both though and would love to say give us them both however I understand it's not smth you just do😅 Love and appreciate you, Mia!!🫶🏼🫶🏼
Please take the commission because we all already know how honest and trustworthy your reviews are. So if we can get the discount while you can get the money, then it’s a win win situation girl!!
23:52 I’m literally obsessed with how the dress looks on her 😮😮😮😮
As far as you accepting the coupon code for us, let me say this. All of us, that have been here with you forever, know 100% that you are always honest with us and trust your integrity to the fullest!!! Anyone saying anything different, doesn't know you, hasn't been here, and doesn't matter!! ❤❤❤❤
Honestly Mia you're one of few influencers I trust wholeheartedly when it comes to product reviews. Make that money sis! Lol
I've been very skeptical of the hoodie dress but it honestly looks great on you! The colour is also very pretty!
Extra happy Friday bc Mia posted a new video !!😭😍
i appreciated your suggestions included talking about ethics! it's kind of you to offer benefit of the doubt but tbh i wonder how much better it is than other working conditions if they don't advertise it. clothes are made ethically abroad and all should be but usually made in china does not bode well.
Green No.3 and No.5 are so so so pretty! I especially love green No.3 because it's not too vibrant and has an elegant, enchanting, forest-y vibe to it, while still matching cute styles
Love so much your content, sense of humor and personality.
You are such a great person ❤
Cheers from Spain Mia.
That jacket is giving such snow queen vibes ❄️ it looks amazing on you!
From your colour selections: 2 is best, with 3 in second place.
That first white dress- the seam immediately stands out to me as not good.
The leather jacket like- not for bikers in any way- leather is super durable and will save your skin in a motorbike accident, which is the point.
The “plane” trousers are so cute!
The hoodie dress. It looks cute from a distance, but up close the rippling of the strip of fabric at the waist, doesn’t look good. But the colour is also very good.
Love the skort so much.
The overalls. Yes. Excellent.
Yes! I was so excited for you to do another review!
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO! Love you so much Mia!
i love that puffer jacket so much, i love jackets in that style but you can never find them anywhere. i love so much that they made something like that and i think if more people knew about it, it would be really popular.
My pop flex basket is now full! Mia you totally deserve commission. You put so much work into your videos!
Mia you’re one of the most honest TH-camrs ever so seriously do the code and get some extra from the brand.
The second green is just EVERYTHING
Mia get your money hunny! I think you are the only person on the internet I actually trust. I don't see you being anything but honest no matter the circumstances so please do some sponsorships with those brands you vet and like!!
Omg I have WAITING for this, THANK YOU
omg the last one is my favorite. it looks so good on u!!! and i do see myself buying it
3 is the best green Mia!!! Love your videos!
