Lulu... Huh?

I really do feel like when you become a mom you lose a little bit of your coolness.  You become a little more unaware of what is current, and you start to have Sesame Street songs in your head rather than the newest Lana Del Rey track.  I mean, in my mind, I am obviously still VERY cool and current but I felt a little uncool when Facebook was becoming saturated with posts about Lululemon and I had no idea what it was. 

Listen, Fresno does this thing that I have literally only seen here... We take a trend/fad and we beat it to the ground.  From upscale steakhouses, to clothes, to purses, to cellphones, even Montessori school.  The lifespan of all of these trends is usually 6-12 months, so seriously kudos to all the local businesses that have spanned decades. 

 So back to Lululemon, I obvi (I'm a fan of Shoshanna on Girls so look out for these amaze words) looked this company up and saw that it was a high end workout clothing company.  As in, my ass better look like Jessica Alba's when I put on your pants high end.  Then, I realized that all the moms out there are wearing their gear, and my mind literally went into "keep up with the Jones'" mode.  My Champion, by Target, pants weren't looking so cool anymore.  But I could not get myself to seriously spend that kind of money on stretchy pants.  First off, I have a kid now, Lululemon, so I don't have the same disposable funds of my yesteryears.  Second, as much as I hate to admit it I am NOT a real exerciser.  I'm one of those fake ones, you know the ones that run errands in workout clothes hoping that strangers think I am some yoga-going, kale drinking, range rover driving stay at home mom.  Who am I kidding?!  Needless to say I just became a website voyeur, always looking but never buying.  Kind of like on Facebook, always looking but never commenting.  So I guess where I am going with this is, it has officially happened.  I'm an uncool mom who wears leggings from Forever 21, and the most exercising I do is pick up my glass of wine.  So, sorry Zaidie but mommy is just in survival mode and maybe one day you can help me be cool once again.

Jessica Alba's ass... Ummmm yeah
