prAna: Sustainable Clothing for Everyday Life

prAna’s sustainable clothing is fashionable, comfortable and versatile and will take you “from city streets to mountain peaks.”

Working in a corporate casual environment and being a boymom, I love clothing that’s comfortable and versatile. I can’t afford two separate wardrobe. And let’s be for real – living in a New York City apartment, I don’t have the closet space.

When I shop, I look for items that I can wear to work, play and travel without sacrificing style or comfort. That’s why I love prAna clothing. Their mission is to give people the option of reaching into their closet and dressing in items that reflect who they are.

The CALI MAXI Dress reflects exactly who I am. Whether I’m wearing sneakers or sandals, the Cali Maxi dress makes me feel sexy, comfortable and confident.
The Cali Dress prAna sustainable clothing

The CALI MAXI dress features prAna’s Veeda© performance recycled stretch jersey with moisture wicking. With a scoop neck design, strappy racerback and empire seam – it’s kind of dress that can easily transition from day to evening. I would even wear this dress to work on a Casual Friday with a denim shirt, buttoned up and knotted at the waist with a statement necklace.

There’s also an interior shelf bra with removable modesty cups. Time for some real talk. I’m a 38DDD and shelf bras don’t typically work in my favor. The interior shelf bra in the Cali Maxi dress is supportive and comfortable. I’m wearing a size XL.

The BERRY DRESS is the ideal wear to work dress. And I’ve been wearing it often. I especially love the v-neckline, dolman short sleeve and bodice shirring with wide waistband for flattering fit. It’s flattering for my curvy figure and conservative enough to wear around the office. I’m also obsessed with the olive green color – something about this dress, in this color that makes me feel very Rey (from Star Wars The Force Awakens).

These dresses will definitely make their way into my suitcase on my next travel adventure.

It’s easy to fall in love with prAna’s clothing designs but they’re also a company to admire. prAna is one of the first major clothing companies to offer Fair Trade Certified™ products. Fair Trade standards ensure that garment workers have safe working conditions, a voice in the workplace, higher earnings, and that women are treated equally.

prAna clothing makes me feel good about what I’m wearing and about supporting a brand that cares about the planet and people. They offer sustainable, recycled, fair trade certified and hemp items. Not only that, but prAna prioritizes giving back to communities all over the world.

I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally got to skate in them for real. “Why do my skates feel funny?” I wondered. I assumed it was because I’m not used to roller skates. So I spent the first 15 minutes skating with my skates on the wrong feet 🙄😐🤦🏻‍♀️ but once I fixed them - skating was a little bit easier. 🤣🤣
When the student becomes the teacher… I got to w When the student becomes the teacher… I got to workout with one of my (favorite) former students this morning! From the moment I met her 2 years ago, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. In the classroom, she is enthusiastic, bright, confident and strong. But at the gym she’s next level! Mel really pushed me today and I know I’ll feel it tomorrow. It wasn’t easy keeping up with this 19 year old. I held my own up until she said 20 minutes on the stair master after our work out. I lasted 5 minutes and then did 15 on the elliptical. 🫠🫠 And obviously we needed a quick locker room photo shoot. 🤣 Also…I don’t know if it’s the angle or the lighting but I can’t believe my arms/back look like that! 😳🥹

I was so wrong. I am living my best years and fully present in my life. 🤍 5/6/18 🤍 5 years one day at a time (sometimes one hour, one minute, one second).

In case anyone’s wondering how my life is going… 😬😐🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaq Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaquino on the 6 train. By page 5, I had to close the book and take a minute to absorb the words on the page. Ok ok ok, I also may have begun tearing up a bit. I love when a book makes me feel. There are times when I come across a book, and the words are exactly what I need at that precise moment. This is that book, this is the time. “The only way out for you is through.” 🤍

Last week he was so excited about his first game a Last week he was so excited about his first game and today baseball is cancelled because of the rain. He sent me a video at 7am - fully dressed in his uniform for his 1pm game - and a text saying he was disappointed. 😕  It’s after 12 and he’s still in his uniform.
I didn’t think I’d be able to make his first g I didn’t think I’d be able to make his first game but I surprised him. When he saw me he said, “Mama! What the hell are you doing here?” But he was totally happy to see me. Grateful @d3sportsandrec exists! 💙
After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” w After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” weight and for the first time since before Norrin was born, I’m wearing a size 6 jean. Does it feel good? Yes. It does. But what feels even better is that I feel strong. Stronger than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Thanks for an amazing class @freelikeoj_allday & @tiabrooks_0106 for always offering to take a picture.

Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summe Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summer clothes. I found 3 dresses that I’ve had forever - probably 15 years. They were probably only worn once. I held on to them, even though I couldn’t fit into them. Because I knew one day, I would fit into them again. Over the last 2 years, I’ve lost some weight but they still didn’t fit last summer. When I tried them on this week, they fit! I haven’t been able to fit into these dresses in more than a decade. And so yesterday I put on the blue dress. I didn’t go anywhere spectacular. I wasn’t on a date. I visited a friend in the neighborhood, went to a meeting and then White Castle (don’t judge me). When I first bought this dress and when it fit, I held on to it - waiting for an occasion. I refuse to do that. I’m not waiting for a man to take me out, or a party or an event. If I want to wear something, I will wear it. I am the special occasion. I am the event. I am worth getting dressed up for. 

Also - I realize that holding on to clothing for 15 years hoping it will fit again is probably not normal. But oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
