I was in LA this week and an old friend of mine convinced me to jump on the Vuori bandwagon — she said these joggers felt like “butter for your a**.” Need I say more?
I’ve seen a lot of ads for Vuori, but I wasn’t sure I needed more athleisure in my life. But, since I’m still working from home, my “workwear” could use a spring refresh. These slim, yet relaxed-fit joggers are slightly cropped and made from a Vuori’s stretchy and soft DreamKnit fabric. They come in 17 colors so you can find the perfect one for you. And over 15,000 positive reviews can’t be wrong.
Vuori’s Performance Joggers are $84 and available in sizes XXS–XXL.

Has anyone looked into trip insurance for their kid to attend a summer program or camp? Covid rates are rising again where I live and in the location of the summer program where my teen daughter plans to go. I’m interested in finding out whether there’s insurance to cover the cost of the program (the program itself does not offer it) and/or her travel. Additionally, I’m curious whether anyone has had experience with having to make emergency travel plans to pick up a kid who has become ill during a camp or a summer program.
Does anyone want to father’s day shop for me?
My 36 year old husband and I got married last year. He very much fathers my pre-K son (has been around for three years), and we are now expecting a baby together. I honestly can’t remember what we did in earlier years, definitely cards, and he’s received some gag gifts (mostly from my friends and his siblings) like coffee cups that say “happy father’s day from the kid you inherited when you shacked up with my mom”, ha. I wouldn’t call either of us very sentimental, but it seems like a meaningful first married and first expecting parent father’s day. He got me nice flowers and a card thanking me for being a mother to 1.4 of his children (since I’m about 40% through pregnancy).
He’s a motion graphics artist, likes beer, loves his cat, likes camping/hiking (although we’ve only car camped in the last few years)… I work for government so am comfortable but not rolling in it, maybe 100 bucks would be a target?
I wish these weren’t just slightly cropped – I either want full length pants (would prefer that here) or cropped just below the knee. As a tall-ish person, these just look awkward on me.
What is everyone up to this weekend? It’s going to be in the 80s here so I got out the kids’ summer clothes!
I am wearing these joggers right now!
