I Love Yoga Pants

February 13, 2015

yoga pants

A little bit off the normal subject today, but yet a newsworthy subject perhaps. If you haven’t already heard – there is a Montana lawmaker wanting to pass a bill that bans wearing yoga pants in public, to expand the existing indecent exposure law.

Sometimes when I read the news, I just have to move on from it because there are a lot of crazy, negative things going on, but come on. Are you serious? I can’t even think this is real because how ridiculous!  I mean don’t get me wrong – I totally understand why there are certain indecent exposure laws in place, but yoga pants?! I figure with this bill, you might as well include tight jeans, pencil skirts, and anything I wear that isn’t completely loose on my backside. Come on, anyone with any sort of a butt, men included, is going to have an issue abiding to a law that  “gives the appearance or simulates” the buttocks.

And for the love, is this REALLY what he is spending his time worrying about? I don’t live in Montana, but I’m going to make an a** of myself and assume that there might be something a little more important than worrying about banning things that might expose someone’s “buttocks,” and other areas.

Telling people what not to wear is never going to change the issue at hand. We are humans – we have free will. If someone can’t control themselves from looking at another human in an inappropriate way – then maybe they need to consider their behavior because I can guarantee I have never put on a pair of yoga pants to run errands in public thinking I would gain any sort of attention. I think most people wear yoga pants to be comfy and be able to move around while running errands, or walking the dog. And I completely understand people choosing to not wear them – I read an article a month or two ago about a woman who didn’t want to wear them as a sign of respect for her husband. It’s her choice and I’m not one to judge others choices, but this bill saying you can’t wear them at all is silly.

So while I try to fathom this, and still hoping this isn’t a real thing, I’m going straight home today and putting on my favorite pair of yoga pants. What is your take on this? #ILoveYogaPants

    I think this bill is crazy. I wear yoga pants to run in. Which I run both in and outdoor. I also wear my yoga pant to the post office before I go to the gym.

    If this bills pass I know a tons of people are going to be mad.

    Wow, how interesting and so weird, banning yoga pants? Yes, there are actual major issues in the world to solve other than banning yoga pants in public. I actually know the other articles that you’re talking about, I read one about the wife that chose not to wear them.

    RIGHT- is THIS really what he should be worrying about? Good God, get a grip, dude.

    I’m a big fan of yoga pants/workout gear for gym activities (obviously) and then weekending/running errands/going cozy. Nothing beats it!

    Oh my word – how laughable! Of all the things to worry about as an elected official. And you’re right…pencil skirts show just as much on me as yoga pants because there’s really no hiding this bubble butt of mine. Lame!!

    Good lord, this stuff makes me so pissed off. Same with dress codes in high schools. I hate the argument that form-fitting things are “tempting for boys/men.” Eff that – boys and men need to learn to control themselves so that us women can wear whatever the hell we want to! I get so ragey about this stuff!!!

      Right?! SO DO I! It makes me so angry. It is just silly… and it makes me think of all the ideas floating around sexual violence and rape too… the old saying that “don’t dress that way” if you don’t want to get raped. REALLY? I really don’t think the way someone dresses has anything to do with it. It is called education and people learning that it is NOT okay to rape. Anyway BAH! Thanks for your comment Brynn!

Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, surprise) I’ve been around... been creeping around here 😂 but haven’t posted in forever!

So hello hello! I know the world is still in a crazy state - and I haven’t lost sight of that. But like many people, I’m trying to take it all one day at a time and find joy in the small things. Aside from that, things have been busy!...

* I started a new job in November! I’m excited to be back at a software company and looking forward to the day I get to meet some of my co-workers in person! 💻💃🏼
* My husband and I celebrated 3 years in October 👰🏼‍♀️... we were able to celebrate with a nice home-cooked dinner (by the hubby of course 😏☺️) and a bottle of wine from the winery he proposed at @ridgevineyards
* I have been enjoying being more present in the moment and spending less time on my phone. As much as I miss this community... the additional time I’ve gotten with my husband and dog won’t last forever, so I’ve decided to savor it ❤️❤️❤️

And this is one of the only pictures I’ve taken this year 😂 I actually did my hair and makeup for Thanksgiving (ya know to hang out with my husband and dog), and even though my curls only lasted two seconds, I look happy and I was happy and I am happy (as happy as I think anyone can be in the middle of a pandemic). So wanted to say hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ and hope you’re taking care! 🤗
I love you and I love fall. Still love looking bac I love you and I love fall. Still love looking back at our engagement photos 😍 #throwback #engagementphotos #youaremyeverything

It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our w It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our world since I last posted to my feed. There is a lot I want to say and I will be posting a lot more soon, but first & foremost...

Black Lives Matter.

I wish I had posted about this in my feed sooner, but I honestly didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I spent way too long overthinking it versus just doing it. I know that’s not an excuse, and I know I have to do better. I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting and educating myself as well as finding ways to help and be proactive. I am committing myself to do more and do better. I know it’s not enough and I’m not sure it will ever be enough... but I will never stop trying. 

The most important thing I learned is that my silence in the past was unacceptable and a huge part of the problem. I thought not knowing what to say and worrying about saying the wrong thing meant it was ok to be silent. It WAS NOT and IS NOT ok.

I have so much more to learn and to do, but one thing is for sure... I will no longer be silent. I will continue to keep the anti-racism resources link in my bio - as it has been a great resource for me and know it has been for many others. Again, I’m not excusing myself for not posting in my feed sooner but I will continue to share and hope to keep the momentum going 🖤 Black Lives Matter 🖤
Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through anot Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through another *very unusual* & crazy/scary week. I hope you are staying safe & well!
.
Yesterday we took Emma @emmaminiaussie to the vet for her annual vet check up. It was her first appointment at a new vet since our move, and we had to let her go in alone. My anxiety has been off the charts lately, as I’m sure it has been for many of you, and heightened even more by this. Emma is truly our child, our daughter, and I am always anxious wanting to ensure she’s happy and doing well.
.
Sitting outside in the car waiting for the call from our new vet was difficult, but I’m so happy to report her health at almost 8 years old is wonderful! She’s thriving and it makes my heart so happy. Another great reminder during these times to be thankful for what matters most - your health and your loved ones’ health (including your fur babies 🐶). So with another long caption today just wishing health and safety to all of you right now! And another thank you to essential workers on the frontlines ❤️🙏🏻 #emmatheminiaussie #loveconquersall #stayhealthy
Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I ha Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I have not posted in my feed since February… and so this is going to be a long one since life as we know it has completely changed over the past month. 
I decided I needed a mental break from Instagram - not all social media - just Instagram. I have been unmotivated to post on this particular platform and was constantly posting old photos/photoshoots just to have something to post. So I took a break to refresh. 
Well, as you know, things started to escalate pretty quickly with COVID-19. I was just about ready to start posting again and BOOM. Just like that, everything in our world changed. It didn’t feel right to post my latest outfit at that moment… 
Things are still escalating, but I’m back here today because I’m longing for connection more than ever and because I want to say THANK you to so many people. 
Things are scary right now. They are uncertain and unfathomable. We are all trying to adapt to a new normal. I don’t have much to add to what others have been saying, but I do want to say I’m thinking of and praying for everyone, especially those directly affected by the pandemic. 
I also want to say thank you to everyone putting their lives at risk to help our country and our world during this time. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to healthcare workers, delivery drivers, grocery store workers, pharmacy/drugstore workers, app-based gig workers out in the field, restaurants who are feeding healthcare workers and feeding children lunches, teachers going above and beyond, to those helping get their parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors and others who are vulnerable the essentials they need to get through this. You are all HEROES and I can never express enough gratitude for what you are doing. 
I don’t have much else to say, but I hope to continue to connect with you all again on this platform. THANK YOU to everyone who is putting an effort into making a difference during this pandemic. Staying home means so much right now if you are able to! We will get through this together if we work together. Stay safe, stay well, and be kind ❤️ #stayhome #besafe #thankyou
