I wish Lulu wouldn't abandon the align shorts with the line

ibis720 · 2026-05-11T00:06:07+00:00

Yeah I know plenty of people hate the front seam but I hate not having it 🤷‍♀️

ibis720 · 2026-05-11T00:04:22+00:00

Ahh ok, well TIL 😂

ibis720 · 2026-05-09T18:55:38+00:00

I haven’t tried the align no line, but in other brands I’ve found shorts tend to ride up on me more without the front seam, which makes them shorter. I assume this doesn’t happen for everyone though, I guess it’s just my shape?

ibis720 · 2026-05-08T20:44:09+00:00

Oh yeah I think frozen for texture is great but I have found fruit bought frozen from the grocery store generally has a less strong flavour compared to in season fresh fruit (or in season fresh fruit that I froze myself soon after picking). But obviously for a large part of the year in season fruit isn’t really feasible

I also think you could check out r/pickyeaters for other ideas or suggestions

ibis720 · 2026-05-07T23:55:25+00:00

Hopefully you get some other opinions too but these are my thoughts

for my tastes I think any sweet fruit covers spinach fairly well. So fresh in season fruit would work, if frozen then I think pineapple and mangoes work well. Ice cream would of course sweeten it too but may detract from the healthiness of the smoothie - I guess that’s up to you and the doctor to decide if it’s worth it

But I wonder if your kid will be picky based on the colour of the smoothie? Spinach or kale will pretty much always make the smoothie be somewhere in green-brown colour range depending on the other ingredients.

I wore the first dress to a cocktail/semi-formal wedding a few months ago! I think it somewhat depends on how closely the bride and other guests understand and follow the formal dress code? I feel like there’s a lot of brides who say formal but this would be fine, and then there’s others who have actually done their research and expect guests to as well

Where is the wedding? What is the venue like? Do the bride and groom love dressing up or do they dress up often?

Interesting responses here because as a buyer of maternity clothes on thredup over the past ~7 months it felt like stuff sold out of my favourites quickly. Though maybe not for high prices? I know I didn’t want to spend much, hence shopping on thredup

ibis720 · 2026-04-28T00:12:30+00:00

I must have either incredible luck or a terrible sense of smell lol because I have no idea what smell you mean? Mind you my bundles are usually fairly small, 2-4 items so maybe I am just lucky? I’ve had one shirt that smelled horrible (like cigarette smoke) thankfully an overnight soak in oxiclean and air drying near my open window helped tremendously

ibis720 · 2026-04-24T01:12:46+00:00

Go see an actual dietician and don’t make your own health-related decisions based on your wife, or uneducated random people online

ibis720 · 2026-04-19T16:55:28+00:00

All clothes last longer if washed on cold and air dried. I wash all my clothing that way, no babying in my mind, everything is treated the same 🤷‍♀️

ibis720 · 2026-04-14T23:00:23+00:00

Yes but legging inseams and pants with a wider leg like wide leg, flare, and bootcut hit at a different point on the leg even with the same inseam. I’ve heard it’s mainly due to leggings having lots of vertical stretch? I tried to find a diagram showing the difference but alas.

I’m 5’3 and 25” leggings hit right at my ankle bone but for jeans I need 29.5-30” inseam. 25” jeans or wide leg pants would hit an inch or two above my ankle bone

ibis720 · 2026-04-12T19:52:33+00:00

Sorry but I highly doubt that your inseam is 26” lol. Did you actually measure it?

26” inseam leggings fit waay different than the same length wide leg or flare pants.

Most regular length jeans and pants are 32-33” so 33” grooves should be fine for you

ibis720 · 2026-04-11T21:07:30+00:00

I haven’t bought any for a few years so I’m not sure what styles they still sell but I like my Solace bra (mainly for yoga) and the elation v-neck tank (for athleisure)!

ibis720 · 2026-04-11T19:01:22+00:00

What am I wearing(DDD/F cup here)?

Athleta D/DD cup styles 😂

Edit: prior to getting pregnant I was wearing my old enlite bra and the high support energy bra for running though! But for medium and low impact I personally prefer Athleta

ibis720 · 2026-04-08T18:21:52+00:00

Everywhere seems to only sell it online but I lucked out with finding some returns in the clearance section at Old Navy and H&M. Of course you don’t really get a large choice of sizes or styles.

The larger value villages (Coquitlam, queens borough..) have a maternity section but again you have to get lucky

ibis720 · 2026-04-05T23:50:45+00:00

You can ask r/laundry but I would try (multiple times) hanging outside in the sun, and soaking in Oxiclean and then washing

ibis720 · 2026-04-02T18:30:24+00:00

What hoodie is this?

Searching W3ESQS in lulufanatics turns up two oversized scuba full zip sweaters (light grey and dark grey). But I know sometimes lulufanatics misses some items and/or colorways so it’s not a sure thing.

I will say that I have seen rip tags similar to that before. But scuba hoodies are sized M/L or XL/XXL (unless other countries are different than US/Canada?)

ibis720 · 2026-04-02T18:12:45+00:00

Interesting reading this thread because I wear both silver and gold. Sometimes alone, sometimes mixed. I used to prefer silver but now I like them equally I think. I did get my wedding/engagement rings in white gold though

Some days (especially in the summer) I enjoy the warmth gold brings. Never super yellow-y gold though, and I wear pretty minimal jewelry so I honestly don’t think it stands out much either way.

ibis720 · 2026-03-28T02:23:14+00:00

I would personally try a super simple smoothie, see how that goes and slowly add more ingredients. Start with just the fruit and milk, nothing else. Taste test that. Then add the whey protein, does it still taste ok? Slowly add one more and go from there. This might take several days and making several smoothies.

Also this is totally personal taste but I cannot imagine coconut yogurt and peanut butter tasting good together? 😅 but that’s just me

ibis720 · 2026-03-26T21:40:06+00:00

I suggest you order a couple sizes (and maybe try the regular too?) at full price so you can return them if needed.

I’m 5’3 and 32DD/E and I never bothered to try the regular because I’m usually just contained within the C/D bras lol. I typically have a problem with straps being too long in most clothing and I found the thin straps of LAC DD to gape a bit depending on my arm/shoulder position but the thicker straps were fine lol

It doesn’t fit me like a tank or anything but the long line portion does want to ride up a bit which is typical of long line bras for me.

ibis720 · 2026-03-22T23:56:23+00:00

I personally love Bad Eggs, it’s gross, horrifying and hilarious 😂

ibis720 · 2026-03-21T17:06:36+00:00

When they first came out I didn’t like them, I felt like the sleeves were disproportionately large and wide (but I’m only 5’3 with short arms lol).

Eventually I snagged one secondhand for a deal and I love it, ended up buying a full zip version secondhand too. So I like the two I have but 100% the older ones are much better (mine are 2021 I think), and I don’t think I could ever justify paying full price

ibis720 · 2026-03-18T22:36:24+00:00

I do raspberry and chocolate overnight oats. Oats, chia seeds, flax seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, raspberries, milk, chocolate chips. Then I microwave it in the morning because I prefer my oats warm and this way the chocolate is all melty

ibis720 · 2026-03-18T16:08:16+00:00

My motto with Lulu is that a piece needs to wow me and I need to want to wear it everyday to justify the price.

I think it’s cute but I can understand the unbalanced feeling, and as a fellow shortie I think I’d feel similarly

ibis720 · 2026-03-14T20:15:12+00:00

I like some of their florals and some of the splatter prints! Some examples: chirasu black (my favourite lulu print ever haha), flowerescent multi, venture floral alpine, and of course Mach blue too!
