Birthday Wish List
| July 20, 2012 | Posted by Carrie under birthdays |
I love birthdays. All birthdays. In our family, we even celebrate half birthdays. So, it won’t surprise you that I also count down to birthdays. Mine is 3 weeks from today 
.
Last year was a big birthday and I celebrated in a big way with a trip to Italy and France. This year, the birthday celebration is really just going to be dinner with my family and a date night with my husband – which is usually how I celebrate. But, that doesn’t mean I don’t take a little time to think about things that could go on my birthday wish list.
A while back I posted about things that I was loving right now – today is more of a ‘things I’ve been dreaming of’.
I don’t own any Lulumelon workout wear, the prices have always scared me away. I’m usually a Target shopper. But, since I’m putting together a wish list, I thought I’d go big.
I did pull a few Lulumelon items off their sale page

High up on my wish list is also this tank top from View Sport. It’s sporting the new Fitfluential logo. It has printing on the back that is sweat activated – the word #Proof appears after you’ve earned it. I love the color! I did already send the link for this tank top to my mom with a not so subtle hint that it would be a great gift. I have no shame.

I’m really loving my Brooks Glycerin shoes. But really, I just need to add another pair of shoes to my rotation.
And I’m rather drooling over these Mizuno Wave Inspires. Has anyone ever done the online shoe analysis from Mizuno? Did you have good luck from the recommendations?
So, basically I am itching to add items to my workout wardrobe. As an active mom and a student, I can really wear workout clothes all day. I know my daughter isn’t impressed when I’m still in workout clothes at the end of the day, but I keep trying to tell her that things could be worse.
Any stores you always avoid because you know they’re out of your budget? What’s on your wish list these days?
It’s Fitness Friday – go check out Jill’s blog for a Fitness Blog Hop.
Happy early birthday! I love those Lulu tights you picked out. I’m like you–I rarely splurge on workout gear, but a birthday is a good excuse to do it!

Everyone must in gear shopping mode these days. I love Target.
I saw the title of this and had to chuckle. My mom just asked me for my Birthday Wish List and I was JUST typing up my email to her with the subject “Birthday Wish List”
I’m “wishing” for a Fitbit and some new workout clothes. Possibly a health/fitness magazine subscription.

When is your birthday? I hope you get what’s on your list

I hope you had a good birthday!
All that stuff would be a great present! I don’t own any lululemon either; I am definitely a Target or sales shopper! But I have heard great things about all their gear! Hopefully the birthday fairy pulls through!

When I see people wearing Lulu stuff, I’m always so impressed by how flattering the clothes are.
I have a few family members that read my blog, so I hope my hints work well.
Yay I love birthdays too! Those Lulu crops are CUTE! I just got the shorty shorts and am so in love with them. Those ones you show are a little longer and I think I would love them a little more. Hope you get all you want for your birthday!
I was looking at the shorts really closely and I think these have the longest inseam. I love some of their tops, too – - but I know the birthday fairy’s budget isn’t big enough for everything
I want some lulu gear! My birthday is only two months away, so it’s time to start dropping hints!
I don’t know about the online shoe analysis, but I had a running shoe analysis done over the weekend and got the right kind of shoes for my foot and they really make a difference!

Glad you like your new shoes – the right fitting shoes are vital.
Um, yes… Lulu tends to be one of those places for me, too! Awesome that they have some good sale options. I need to be smart and give my husband a wish list in advance this year!

Don’t leave anything up to chance, I say
Wish lists are good.
All of those items look like something that I would want! I am reallllly looking into compression socks, tanks and new shoes right now! I am going to go do the Mizuno analysis. I’m thinking about switching out of Brooks, or trying something other than the GTS
There are usually some good deals on compression gear from active.com – Schwaggle or whatever it’s called. Good luck shoe shopping – that seems to be all over the blogs today.
You have great taste!! Love the Lulumon stuff. I haven’t tried Mizunos online tool, but I adore my Mizuno Nirvanas. I won’t wear any other shoe, ever.

I hear such great things about Muzinos, although I love my Brooks, I’m feeling the interest in branching out.
Great birthday wish list! And Happy early Birthday! I’m already starting my list and my Birthday is not until next April, but I need so much new stuff…new helmet, bike, and bike shoes!! Just to name a few

Thanks! You gotta plan ahead! That’s the scary thing about multiple sports – so much gear! I bet your list will be long.
Lulu stuff IS expensive for sure. But once you’re bitten….I resisted for the longest time but seriously it is SO GOOD. Their running gear is exceptional – I love their shorts, running skirts and vests (and some really awesome no-show running socks!) I would highly recommend and I am cheap!!
I’ve heard such great things. I’m just drooling more and more. Thanks!
happy early birthday! i can tell you that the lulu gear is definitely worth it! plus if you are not going to europe this year you may be able to afford some
Thanks! Considering I saved for a very long time and much of the trip was a gift from my mom, I think I’m still paying for it and therefore still shop at Target.
I wish.
I have no lululemon clothes because of the prices but I see ladies in their hoodies and I drool. I hope you get everything on your wish list

Oooh, I agree, their hoodies are gorgeous. If I lived in weather that needed them more than once a year, I’d be drooling too.
I haven’t bought anything form Lululemon either. I do love my Mizunos.

I had never even heard of Luluemon and now want many of their things! My b-day is next month so maybe.

When is your birthday? Mine is the 10th.
I LOVE BIRTHDAYS

Miz recently posted..Teva Fuse-Ion shoes. (Ren Man review)
Me too! Although my daughter isn’t understanding why I’m not having a party this year – she’s thinking I need one, princess theme and all. And, my husband informed me that this is my last birthday because that’s what they Mayans have said. Buzz kill.
What a great list!
