Work it out (if you must) with help from Stride!, Body Rock Sport and Goody!

Underwear events are a funny thing - they are the one place in the world that women will go and willingly have long, involved discussions with total strangers about what kind of underwear they wear. I mean, I don't even talk to my friends about this stuff but here I am discussing the merits and pitfalls of thongs with someone I've never set eyes on before!  There must be something about being in a room full of underwear that just frees you up to talk about it to your heart's content!

The event was for Stride! Everyday a line available in Canada exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart.  Yes, that's right, you can now buy THAT at SDM too.  I figure that soon there won't be any need to go to any other store at all - Shoppers will soon be carrying everything from baby cribs to coffins!  Anyhoo, Stride! Everyday is the brainchild of Wendy Spencer who actually came up with the idea to deal with her own light leakage issue.  That's right, if you have embarrassing incidents when you laugh too hard, cough or sneeze unexpectedly these babies will help keep it a secret! 

They come in two styles: A sexy, lacy thong in multiple colours for $24.99 or a seamless, black full coverage panty for $19.99.  This is the one that really interested me because they were showing it at the event on models wearing yoga pants and you really couldn't see a seam!  I am not a fan of thongs, like to go to yoga but hate the lines that always show under my yoga pants so I was eager to get my hands on a pair of the seamless jobies and give them a whirl - and success! They're comfortable, they cover all of my butt and best of all, no lines!

All Wendy needs to do now is come up with a design that is super stay-dry that can be used by slot-machine and bingo addicts! Go to http://www.strideeveryday.com/ for more info.

All this talk of yoga and working out got me thinking about exercise wear (not actual exercise of course) and some really cute work out clothes that I have been drooling over from Body Rock Sport. When rock stars work out, this is exactly what I imagine they wear!
Shown: Cynthia tank (love!) - $44 - Andrea bra - $50 - Kristy shorts - $30
Or if you're feeling particularly flush, go for the Eternal Love bra. Consisting of detachable skull zipper pulls with clear Swarovski hearts, and an encrusted neckline of black diamond Swarovski crystals and gold studs, this one-of-a-kind sports bra is also made with French silk, a black and gunmetal pattern resembling a skeleton, and an 18-carat gold removable tassel that contains skulls with diamond eyes and clear Swarovski hearts. At $20,011.- it's a steal!

You can find (and buy) the whole line at http://www.bodyrocksport.com/
And don't be attempting any downward dogs without doing something about your hair! Formally known as the StayPut collection - now the Goody Slide-Proof collection - whatever they want to call it I like it because once it's in your hair, it really isn't going anywhere!  Available are Headwraps, Claw Clips and Elastics - $3.99-$6.49

All this talk about exercise has me exhausted, I'm going to go have a nap!
