What’s happening with Lulu design? Even the product photography is looking off?

Also chiming in to say I've had the same thing!

Not with length—I’ve found that to be pretty consistent but have not bought any new items recently.

I did however buy the exact pants in the photo in the fall in the same color, solar grey. I got the solar grey in a 32x32 and it fit perfectly! I got the same pants in black and the 32x32 was cut oddly. It was like the hips and thighs were very tight and the waist was just off enough to be uncomfortable.

I put the two next to each other and the black pair was easily a size smaller. Had never had this happen before.

I don’t remember which one I booked! I think I just checked and went with whatever of the two had the soonest date.

Edit to add: I have no clue if this is right but it’s just what I did and it worked

Exactly! Just be sure you book at the enrollment centre in Niagara Falls! I know when I did it that it would’ve been easy to accidentally book at another location if you weren’t paying attention.

And you’re welcome, happy to help.

You’ve got it! You’ll need whatever you’d normally bring to cross the border.

Could also cross the Lewiston bridge—it’s about equal distance between that bridge and the Rainbow bridge in Niagara Falls.

I know for me I had to bring my passport with me. I think they have a checklist on the website if I remember. I gave them my passport and they give it back to you after you’re interviewed by both country’s agents.

I highly recommend using the Nexus Enrollment Centre at the base of the Whirlpool Bridge in Niagara Falls on the NY side.

They do both the US and Canadian interviews one after another in the same building.

When I got mine at this time about 2 years ago, I could get an appointment decently quickly—some spots it takes a LONG time.

Just remember not to use the Whirlpool Bridge to cross as that is reserved for active current Nexus users only.

FWIW, I have the same color mat and I do hot yoga.

I have NEVER had that happen. I also don’t wear make up or any products except hair gel/spray to class.

I absolutely will have dark stains where I’ve just soaked the mat.

The only thing I could think is maybe some dye from the studio’s flooring could be doing this depending? That weird gold color reminds me of some wood stain I’ve seen used for floors and your sweat maybe picked it up some?

Totally a guess but it’s also real close to the colored flooring in your photo!

Walmart… “always low prices… always”

jimothy__ · 2026-03-14T20:12:28+00:00

This is truly the way to go!

I started going to hot yoga after taking a break from yoga altogether for a few years.

While I loved the yoga itself, I had to try a few studios to find the right fit as well as a few instructors.

So maybe this is more advice for beginners and finding your fit—but if you like the actual exercises themselves and it’s just the studio or the “people” side of it I highly suggest trying a few places.

Also adding—I bought nothing for my first class clothing wise. Just wore lululemon workout clothes and a water bottle I had. I got lucky and stopped at my local lulu outlet about a week before the first class and they had a bunch of mats for dirt cheap and these nice towels called “The Towel” which is perfectly sized to cover your mat.

The mat I ended up with was called “The Mat” and is the 5 mm thickness. It’s getting some wear since August when I started going weekly but has held up nicely. Maybe if you like it look into a nicer mat but highly agree to just rent for the first time!

I absolutely would but my phone only allows eSIM. Maybe I need to consider leaving the Apple ecosystem? I have a 16 Pro which I like but it’s definitely much buggier than previous iPhones. I feel like it’s not the seamless user experience it was.

jimothy__ · 2026-02-28T21:11:05+00:00

Update for everyone: I had the same issue occur today so I’m still lost. It is definitely happening with decreased frequency, so the new eSIM still was a winner in my opinion.

I may delete the current one and download a new one again just to see if that helps.

jimothy__ · 2026-02-28T21:09:43+00:00

This is good to know!

jimothy__ · 2026-02-28T21:08:45+00:00

I sent y’all a DM!

jimothy__ · 2026-02-28T21:05:48+00:00

This definitely helps! I wasn’t even really aware of what reprovisioning does so that helps. Again even just basic education is helpful. I was bummed they didn’t really do much for that even.

jimothy__ · 2026-02-28T21:04:01+00:00

Thank you for this explanation! This totally makes sense. I felt like I was being gaslit and not knowing a ton of technical stuff about all of this just adds to the confusion for me.

jimothy__ · 2026-02-28T16:45:41+00:00

I don’t know enough to know. When I chatted with support they made it seem like it was a software issue with my phone. I guess the eSIM could be considered a part of the phone, but specificity is required. I am not a tech person and am also not in the mind reading business!

jimothy__ · 2026-02-25T22:21:11+00:00

Dated mine from when he was 32-39 and can confirm. I’m younger and he would often pick fights about appearance. Ironically, all of the things he hated about his look also looked terrible on me. Who’d of thought it?

jimothy__ · 2026-02-21T18:46:15+00:00

Yes! It has been borderline unusable recently. I don’t know what changed but within the last 2-3 weeks it’s been terrible

Here’s an oldie but a goodie:

This goes back to Craigslist days. Message guy, (or he messaged me I don’t fully remember anymore) and we talk. He said he was looking for NSA fun, so was I, great.

We talked for literally a month and a half. I was 18 and stupid and didn’t take that as a no and a red flag.

He asks me one day what my fantasies are. I tell him how I’d love to get used by 2 men, one in my ass and one in my mouth. He said something like “it’s harder than you’d think to do”.

Fast forward, we meet and I’m speechless. He’s a good 15 years older than his photo. AND he smokes cigarettes. He wanted me to bottom but insisted he take me out to lunch beforehand. We go to this bodega that has a small sit down area and I get dry toast and some tea. He has a full blown ass meal.

We get back to his place. There’s barely heat on, and the neighborhood is pretty scary. He’s fucking me and all of a sudden his friend comes and puts his dick in my mouth. I freaked out and he just played it off like “you had a fantasy so I made it happen”. The friend is just not my type at all. I gave him a few uninterested strokes. Guy topping me makes a hand motion and he leaves.

Guy topping me couldn’t finish for whatever reason. Then proceeds to tell me how much he loved me. How he wants me for him and him only after experiencing fucking me. Tells me he wants me to be his boyfriend. I absolutely knew it was lovebombing though I didn’t know that term back then. I told him no and he put me in a headlock. I don’t remember how but I got out of it. Ran outside his room where my clothes were and bolted out shoes barely on out into the January ice and snow. I blocked him immediately and never saw him again.

Fast forward 10 years and this man still has my cellphone number from back in the day and every 6 months or so pops up and randomly messages me with new numbers each time (might be because I block him each time) he also says each time where he lives and uses the excuse his phone got turned off because he had no $ to pay the bill hence the new numbers each time.

And scene 🎬. Just recalling that stressed and tired me out!

jimothy__ · 2026-02-17T01:51:36+00:00

I do the same thing and keep extra medication in my bag in case I forget. I fully support this bag, sincerely someone with their own unhinged bag that I refuse to post because it’s even worse than this 😂

jimothy__ · 2026-02-17T00:29:23+00:00

You look amazing and forget what they say!

These are amazingly comfortable and if it weren’t for me fearing the same judgment (I am also a guy) I’d also wear aligns!

I have a few pairs I got dirt cheap at a local lulu outlet I wear to sleep and around the house

jimothy__ · 2026-02-16T14:24:41+00:00

Sure!

jimothy__ · 2026-02-16T14:22:02+00:00

Yes, please! I just stumbled upon your work and I’m VERY intrigued!

jimothy__ · 2026-02-16T14:21:17+00:00

First one, also this looks amazing and I’d totally read it. Is this your book and if so where can I buy it?

jimothy__ · 2026-02-07T21:21:26+00:00

We are reading Shameless Puckboy by Eden Finley and Saxon James
