Happy Friday, folks! I’m so looking forward to the weekend. This week seemed particularly long to me and maybe that’s because I kept wishing I was still in Florida with my family for an extended Memorial Day.
This morning, I’m teaching a BODYATTACK class, doing some work and hanging out with Dave in the evening. Tomorrow morning, I’m teaching two classes at Orangetheory Fitness, and we don’t have much on the agenda after that, but I’m sure we’ll go out to dinner for our usual Saturday night outing. On Sunday, I’m excited to be attending an NBA Finals game to watch the Golden State Warriors play at home. Of course, Dave will be there as well, but he’ll be wearing a suit and working, and I’ll be wearing a bright yellow t-shirt and sitting in the nose-bleed seats with a friend. Can’t wait!
This week’s Friday Favorites
But now, it’s time for my recent favorites, and there’s a giveaway in here, so don’t miss it!
My favorite new bag and jacket
Leave it to Dave to give me the best gifts. I’m styling and profiling in my new jacket and bag, which he gave to me last week as a late anniversary gift. Yes, it’s branded gear!
A trendy collared zip-up and a big black tote bag with a ton of pockets and handles make me one happy gal.
First of all, I was in need of a new gym bag and always need new hoodies to wear to the gym and out-and-about, and he chose well with the style and the added logo. I don’t always talk about the fact that I have a blog to my class members and people at the gym (although they seem to find out on their own quite frequently!), so it’s kind of nice to show it off on my sleeve and bag from here on out. Love it all so much!
My favorite new sports bra and a giveaway
This week, I had the lovely opportunity to visit a Title Line retail location in downtown Walnut Creek and get introduced to the store, its products, as well as get fitted for and take home a shiny new sports bra. Title Nine is a women’s activewear company, which has been around for about 25 years, and the name was inspired by the federal law in the U.S., which gives women equal access to sports in schools (among other things).
Title Nine has a great selection of activewear and bras for all sorts of occasions, and the Walnut Creek store is so bright and welcoming.
I hadn’t heard of the company before and loved perusing the colorful items for sale, as well as chatting with the nice associates, one of whom was called a “Bravangelist” for her work helping women find the perfect fitting sports bra for their lifestyles. Title Nine not only sells its own “beautility” (cool word combining beauty and utility, right?) apparel, but also branded apparel from companies they admire, like Prana, Moving Comfort and more.
Shown above is the “barbell” rating, which Title Nine gives its bras based on their support-level. And my sports bra selection, this Form First bra by Moving Comfort, in red and black with an adjustable back. Those colors? Why they are BODYPUMP colors of course!
The bra experts at Title Nine want to help more women find the perfect fitting bra, and they are hosting “FitFest” events at their 23 retail locations across the U.S.. You can head to the website to find out if there is a FitFest near you. I think this is a great concept, because after getting fitted for my sports bra, I learned that you should always buy bras on the tighter side, because sports bras and regular bras will always stretch out a bit. Who knew? Oh and can you believe that apparently 80 percent of women are currently wearing the wrong size sports bra? The humanity!
GIVEAWAY ALERT!!
The lovely ladies at Title Nine have offered a free sports bra and personalized fitting to one A Lady Goes West reader. If you live within driving distance of a Title Nine retail location, you’ll be able to head into one for a bra-fitting appointment. If you don’t live near one, you can order a free bra of your choice over the phone. This is open to people in the U.S. only. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post (and there are ways for additional entries as well, detailed below). I will choose a winner on Monday night. And fellas, you can enter too, if you’d like to pass along your spoils to a lady in your life.
My favorite new food product
Switching gears from fashion to food — More veggies in every smoothie without overfilling my NutriBullet
Here’s a look at the PINES Wheat Grass Powder and a recent green smoothie bowl I added it to for breakfast. Don’t be scared of the green!
I love the company’s motto — “Keep it Simple. Keep it Clean. Keep it Green.,” and I also like that PINES is so focused on helping people be healthy with cost-efficient products. All of the powders are gluten free, raw, non-GMO, USDA certified organic and sealed with the oxygen removed to give them a long shelf-life, and one 3.5 ounce bottle goes for less than $15 for nearly 30 servings.
I’d say the best part about using a wheat grass powder is that you can bring it with you when traveling to get in some extra greens on-the-go by adding it to your water, smoothies or food. If you’re interested, you can buy PINES products at thousands of health food stores across the U.S. and in 20 other countries — just find a retail location near you by visiting this store locator. Thanks PINES for introducing me to wheat grass.

What are you up to this weekend?
Catherine Cormier says
Something that’s making me smile is that my hubby and I just found out we’re pregnant 🙂 Lets just say there’s been a permanent grin on my face all week.
This weekend we’re taking a little road trip to visit my in-laws and once there I have a feeling it’ll be a relaxing weekend which is exactly what I need.
TGIF and enjoy your weekend 🙂
Ashley says
Oh my goodness, Catherine!! That’s AWESOME!! Is this your first?? yay for you two!!! 🙂 Have a wonderfully relaxing weekend mom-to-be!

Lindsay (@LindsayWeighsIn) says
I’ve heard such great things about Title Nine (and love the name!!) but haven’t been able to check it out yet. Good sports bras are so hard to find sometimes! As a well-endowed lady (haha!) I found myself wearing 2 sports bras for high impact workouts (BodyAttack, etc.) way too often! I love the VS bras, but would love to try a new one as I’m always on the lookout for a new one that will hold the girls in place during a workout and not knock me out 😉 Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Have a great weekend! 🙂

Melissa says
Love the branded gear!
The thing that’s been making me happy is working through my first Whole30. I’m on Day 14, feeling great, and loving focusing on nutritious, whole foods that energize me. (And then treating myself to new workout gear instead of food rewards!)

Hi Melissa! Awesome work! I’ve always wanted to try Whole30 but have never taken the jump yet. So smart of you to reward yourself with new gear. Best of luck finishing the second half! Have a great night! 🙂
