I looove the align pants!! I have 6 and only my full length black pill. My cropped and 7/8 in all different colors do not. They are the BEST! Even if they all pilled they’d still be my favorite forever 💖💖💖💖
Former lulu educator here, because you're wearing them for the appropriate use, bring them back to the store and explain the situation. They should be more than happy to help you out.
Jen please make a video about your apple watch and how you use it/what you use it for!! I got one for christmas and if you could share some tips and recommendations it would be very helpful!
I use it to track fitness and in the past for running as well. Mostly I find it useful for texts and notifications when my hands are full which happens a lot with little ones.
Hi Jen! Would you do a walk through of CC’s clothes sometime? I saw Donnie’s in his nursery tour but I’m having a lot of trouble pairing down my little girls’ clothes. I’d love to see what your staples are since I’m in Michigan we have similar climates.
I have steered clear of Lululemon nulu fabric as I’ve heard they pill like crazy. However I recently bought the Fast & Free leggings in the nulux fabric. It’s very similar material and it’s a 7/8 pant so good for us shorter gals. It’s high rise (bonus) and it also has good, easy access pockets. They also have light reflective detailing on the ankles which is good if you walk the dog when there’s low light. I got charcoal colour for a change from black.
I own a pair of align lulu pants and mine have been pilling since the first wash so you’re not on your own with that. Apparently they are only supposed to be used for restorative postures and limited movement but I love mine so much, I wear mine pretty much all day
Not sure of you have already done a video about yoga, if you haven’t, can you please make a video explain to us what type of you practice, why, what exactly do you do, etc. Would love to watch that!
I have that vacuum and I love it. Another one that you will find useful to vacuum chairs, sofas, countertops etc is Shark ION W1 handheld vacuum. OMG Jen, that little vacuum is so powerful. I love it.
Ha ha,you are my soul sister Jen! I purchased Breathe magazine back in Autumn (Fall) and I love it and I also discovered Hippeas ( chickpea puffs) few months ago and love love love them!!!! :) Xx
The align pants are notoriously pilly. 😔 my go to lululemon leggings are the (high waisted) wunder unders. They’re a bit thicker than the aligns but so comfy, feel and look flattering, and no pilling. So much higher of quality in my opinion.
Which song from the Sound of Music is Charlotte’s favorite? And, yes, you are right. Sometimes you just need some chips! And yes, you are right - puzzles are fantastic.
Have a look at the flexxfit leggings. I swore by the align pants until I found these! They’re only $35 and I wear them 3/4 times a week, wash everytime and even the new thighs aren’t pilly xxx
I am more of a fan of Fabletics yoga pants than Lululemon. They are like a second skin, super comfy, fantastic sales, and they do not pill, and I dry mine in the dryer. I own several pairs, and wear them every day. I just can’t say enough great things about them. Much cheaper! Love you favorites videos.
Oh my gosh, those hippeas were at our Costco a few months ago and it was bad!! We bought them to try because it was such a good deal and they are addictive! Sadly/thankfully Costco doesn’t carry them anymore for us :D.
I have a couple of sweaters from Monari who are pricey and even they have pilling 😞. Breathe magazine fabulous! There are a few books/journals with prompts on Amazon (UK) which you might find on Amazon USA, they also do an kindle subscription.
Thank you Jen for sharing!!! I saving the puzzles in my Amazon wish list for my almost 2 year old (Im sure will be a great Christmas present)!!! Can you do a Amazon favourites video? Looking forward for March because its Disney month!! LOL
I also love the Align Pants but mine pill, too. I’ve had two pairs only since December and they are pilling on the top. I thought I was just wearing them too much or being too hard on them.
We have been loving Marie Kondo and Konmaring everywhere- can't wait to see your videos :) Love your vision board, and have been enjoying the Breathe magazine happiness and well-being issues. Also, Nikkivegan suggested Thrive and they have a yummy thrive paleo snack mix (vegan too) in ranch flavor. Chloe Coscarelli has some vegan recipes I've been enjoying too.
@@WithWonder Ohhhh, yes. I live in these--for hikes and whenever I can get away with them, lol! I like the ones by RBX and get mine from TJMaxx or Marshall's, but you can find them on Amazon for around $20. Life. Changing.
I've noticed my teenagers Align leggings have pilled a little also, as well as her Zellas. I'm feeling like its sort of "normal" for all leggings, but at those prices, they shouldnt. She told me just the other day "Mom, I wear them to work out only, please dont spend $100 on leggings that last the same amount of time as the ones from Old Navy, Target and Walmart, they're softer but they dont make me work out harder!" ..... uh, noted!!! I did tell her that the Align can be saved for wearing with her tunic sweaters/duck boots or hunters for cute movie dates etc, and for working out the Target/less expensive (by a long shot!!!) ones! The Align leggings are SO COMFY and do something miraculous to make womens booties look great, so maybe they're worth the $$ for a fun occasional cute look!
I have been wearing the align pants for years and I find they don't pill if you hand wash them and hang to dry, I also buy a bigger size then I need so the material isn't stretching as much
That’s a Wildfox sweatshirt. I believe Nordstrom carries that or you can find it even on their website. But that print may not be available as they change their prints each season. Hope that helps.
I have tried Lululemon leggings, but I didn't find the quality up to the price. I switched to the Athleta Powervita pant (super soft and strechy) and their Salutation tights (similar to Lululemons but they have side phone pockets I LOVE and I find them to be stretchier and easier to get on/off). Not inexpensive, but I've owned both for a year and worn them a lot and they've held up well..no pilling.
Bummer about the Aligns' pilling :( I also have a pair (which I freakin' love), and mine pill in the upper inner thigh area where my thighs touch, but I haven't experience pilling anywhere else.
Hippeas are the best. I stumbled on them at (of all places) Home Goods LOL. I once found them at Costco ... then they never had them again ..... I should have bought like 20 bags LOL. Starbucks sells them in single serve bags.... always a great pairing with my iced tea :-)
I love my Aligns but they do pill notoriously. If I'm going to wear active wear for something other than it's intended purpose I use the ultra high rise wunder unders.
My favorite go-to meal by HCH is her Corn Chowder. I make it all the time for my lunch for the week along with some brown rice. I think I wrote the recipe down from one of her videos. I make it in the InstantPot so it’s super easy. As I’m typing this I think I remember you saying you stay away from Corn. If you do then skip this whole thing. Lol.
Jennifer I love your videos and love watching you and how you take care of your children. I have the most random question, I was just browsing fb and I just random ads from knitcrate and thought of you. The question is did you finish the blanket you were making with the hexagons you were knitting . Just curious have great day
I also have a Manduka, it's so good. I found their Pro didn't have enough grip for me personally (I do some sweaty hot yoga haha) so I got one of their Eko ones; that thing aint going anywhere! I've been doing Adriene's videos at home for years now; as Marie Kondo would say, she sparks joy. If CC is loving puzzles right now, check out Melissa & Doug's puzzles, they have a lot of good ones at various sizes and levels (CC might love to try a big floor one!), I stock my preschool classroom with them!
Hi Jen! All of my lululemon (with the exception of the luxetreme which is that smooth, silky spandex) pill... all of them. :-( However, I know if you take them back to the store, they will exchange them for you.
Most of my leggings which I pretty much usually just wear in the Fall/Winter pill in that area as I also don't have a thigh gap. I'm V shaped and find junior sized ones are the only ones that stay up on me although I'm 39 years old. I prefer to wear dresses and skirts the most as I can fit all sizes of those as some are mine are junior sized, some are ladies sized, and some are plus sized. My largest body part is my bust which is a 34HH in UK sizing and 34L in US sizing. When I swing my kettlebells I do it barefoot like my favorite trainer Lauren Brooks since it helps me stay more stable. Otherwise they recommend something minimally padded like wrestling shoes. I just buy her DVDS or stream her workouts at home on my personal mat so I don't have to worry about germs. Daniel still loves Word World, Monster Math Squad, and he's obsessed with the song To the Garden which is a cartoon version with characters named Nina and Jeff. He tends to love musical shows. I don't have any new favorites. Still loving my Breast Nest although I need to get another one in a more neutral color as the smaller orchid fits me best but Creamy Cafe would coordinate better with most of my clothing. They are out of stock in my size though so maybe I'll go with Decent Exposures again and with my clothing I can see where I'd need the scoop back, racer back, and strapless. They are not the prettiest bras but they are the most comfortable. Comfort is KING to me. My favorite jewelry are a pair of earring with three long beaded metal in blue, green, and silver I got from Simply Whispers but that style didn't return with the reopening under new management. I have metal allergies so have to be careful with jewelry. Also still loving my backpack and tote which are both blue and green which is my favorite color combination lately. Thinking about getting the smaller size in my tote as the large one is better for travel and the smaller one would be better for everyday carry. Mostly been preparing for my first return visit to the Philippines with my mother for two weeks in April. Looking forward to reconnecting with our family there in person as I haven't seen them that way since i was five years old and eating all the delicious foods. Finally got the most expensive thing which are our tickets. Still need a carry on bag, sea bands (I have motion sickness), and some bottoms for some of the tops my mother got me. I only have four skirts because I rarely find ones I like in the stores we go to. I prefer wearing dresses and skirts in hot weather as it keeps me cooler.
Girlfriend collective has amazing fair trade leggings made from recycled materials. I think they were started by former Lululemon employees. Mine have held up wonderfully and might be a good alternative.
You should try to show a couple of Don's faves too...like lounge wear or accessories, books. Ideas for men. ⛄💙🎠
Dana Brooks This is a very good idea!
I could but it would be the same every time, haha! Cubs PJ pants, Bose bluetooth headphones, iPad.
Yay! Can't wait for your spring cleaning and organizing videos! :)
Me too! I'm itching to get started
In true Konmari spirit: your videos always sparks joy för me! ❤
❤️❤️❤️
I looove the align pants!! I have 6 and only my full length black pill. My cropped and 7/8 in all different colors do not. They are the BEST! Even if they all pilled they’d still be my favorite forever 💖💖💖💖
I love the lululemon align leggings as well, but yes they pill! It totally caught me by surprise too!!
I'm seeing lots of comments like this so I'm glad it's not just mine

I'll show her clothes when I do an updated room tour, coming soon!
Thanks so much!
Yes!! That happened to my Lulu yoga pants too. I switched to old navy. They actually last longer!!

Those Hippeas are delicious! I recently discovered them myself. If you must have a junk food snack, this would be one to grab :-)
I recently got a dyson portable and it is my favorite! I don't know what I did without it before!

How’s the sizing?

If I did an Amazon favorites video it would be 4 hours long 🙈
Love these videos every month. Thanks
I'm so with you on enjoying High carb Hannah and her yummy recipes!
I also love the Align Pants but mine pill, too. I’ve had two pairs only since December and they are pilling on the top. I thought I was just wearing them too much or being too hard on them.
Have you watched Kate or Mae Flowers food vids?
They are vegan (I’m not) but their recipes are sooooo good! 👍🏻 And most are quite quick and simple!
I have a Dyson too, I could not do anymore without. We have 4 Cats and Boy they sure spread Hair... It is soo easy to use and to maintain.
Great minds think alike! I have the same yoga mat and Dyson, I love them both as well!
Manduka Pro yoga mats come with a lifetime warranty. I believe if anything were to happen or if it wears out they’ll replace it!
Good to know, tfs!
Love your favourites videos.
Question, have you ever done foam rolling? I'm on day two and I'm loving it.
I foam roll every day and have for about 2 years now. It helps a lot with my knee issues
Love that you found HIgh Carb Hannah!
Always enjoy your videos! Have a great day😊

My girls are reviving their Frozen trend so we're thrilled about the new movie and songs 😊
We basically watch the preview 3x a day around here 😂

That was just for a few months when Donny was a newborn - I love corn! I'll have to check it out :)
Don't have kids (albeit need to pick up after the hubs😉) but I can't live without my Dyson!
I had to stop buying the Hippeas!! They are so addicting 🤣
Ugh I KNOW!
LOVE hippeas!!

My lululemon are pilling too! And I’ve only had them a month 👎🏼😐😐😐
Jen I love your videos!
Have you and Charlotte discovered the Wonky Donkey book and song yet. So cute!
great to see you!!
💕
Pilling after a few months that is ridiculous for 100! Return!!
mslinny144 they have a warranty so you can take them into any lulu store and swap them out or get them depilled :) the fabric is amazing so its worth
Ooh I didn't know about the warranty! I will try that, tfs
I’m Pretty sure you can get it at Whole Foods
Would you ever cut your hair shorter? I have a feeling that your next hairstyle you pick will be shorter. I always wished I had thin hair like you☺
Hi Jen! All of my lululemon (with the exception of the luxetreme which is that smooth, silky spandex) pill... all of them. :-( However, I know if you take them back to the store, they will exchange them for you.
I have no pilling but take them back to lulu they have GREAT customer service and I’m sure would exchange them for a brand new pain
You seemed a lot happier in your older videos when you were with Don
Do you wash your leggings inside out? That might help.
I'll try that! Tjanks :)
The same thing happened to my pants unfortunately!

Take the yoga pants back to lulu they should replace them or give your money back.
If you have an issue with their yoga pants you can send them an email
Try washing your yoga pants inside out, in Woolite & hand dry.
I've never been able to get any Dyson cordless vacs to hold a charge - are there any secrets to this?
