How We’re Moving In Girlfriend Collective

From running errands to just plain running, there’s nothing you can’t get accomplished while sporting the newest spring styles from our fave sustainably made activewear from Girlfriend Collective. Don’t believe us? Just see what our community has been up to while rocking theirs.

Ella aka @ellamiller 

HOW I MOVE IN GIRLFRIEND
I love to go for sunshine walks, dances around the neighborhood, and to hit the reformer pilates machine.

THE MUSIC THAT MAKES ME MOVE
I love Lucky by Donna Summer and anything with a fun beat 

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND
Having curves and a chest sometimes makes it hard to find a sports bra, but Girlfriend makes me feel super secure and confident. I know I can do anything when I'm wearing it.

MY FAVE SPOTS FOR WALKING IN LA
The Strand in Santa Monica/Venice (great people watching by the beach!), Tuna Canyon in Topanga, and Escondido canyon park near Malibu.

HOW WE KEEP ACTIVE AS A FAMILY
We enjoy doing anything outside that grounds us to nature! Walking, hiking, eating dinner on the grass, a full beach day. Our kids love it all!

HOW I MOVE IN GIRLFRIEND
I love getting some yoga and stretches in. Working out early in the morning is my favorite.

HOW I PRACTICE SELF CARE
I have a strict morning routine. It sounds silly that a routine can be a self care practice,  but I love waking up early to read, work out, journal, etc. before the kids wake up. It's my alone time and allows me to be intentional about my time with my kids!

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND
I love that it sculpts and shapes my body so well and I love feeling confident about myself. The compressive fit holds it all together while going on about my day!

Jayah aka @jayahhasson

HOW I MOVE IN GIRLFRIEND
Mostly when I’m practicing or teaching yoga! But even when I’m just going out with friends or out to dance since the bras are so comfy to move in and the colors can make such a cute outfit under a blazer.

HOW I BECAME A YOGA TEACHER
I started practicing yoga in high school to help combat ADHD and anxiety. After a few years of doing yoga, I saw it shift from a physical outlet to a life changing practice and I wanted to share that experience with others. I really enjoy teaching yoga tools and techniques that help others experience more joy, focus, and presence in their daily life through connecting our mind to our body and breath. 

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT YOGA
It teaches me patience, self-understanding, and self-acceptance. Most of all, I believe that yoga reveals the immense amount of strength and capability each person has. I love that yoga can help us find more inner peace and improve our well-being and overall health.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND
I love that it’s made out of eco-friendly materials like recycled water bottles. My yoga practice teaches me mindfulness and so why not apply that same practice to when we consider what we wear? I appreciate that GC is so transparent about how they develop their clothing and where it comes from. I  also love that the clothing feels amazing! When I got my first GC bra last year, I was surprised to see that the fit really complements my small size and is supportive but not too tight to breathe in.

HOW I MOVE IN GIRLFRIEND
I love to wear my Girlfriend hiking. It’s my favorite way to move my body, and at the same time I get to connect to nature. It’s a win win.

MY FAVORITE PLACES TO GET OUTSIDE
I am lucky to live so close to hiking trails. One of my favorites is to hike to Eagle Rock. You can sit atop and see all the way to the Catalina Islands on a clear day.

HOW NATURE IMPACTS MY WELLNESS
When I lived in the suburbs I didn’t think much about how things impacted the earth. Since living in the canyon that has all changed. I spend more time checking ingredients and labels. I am so much more conscious of the materials I choose for our home, my clothes, cleaning products, food. I am basically more conscious of anything and everything I consume.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND
I love that it’s made from recycled water bottles! The innovation of the brand is incredible. I love that I can feel good about wearing it. And, let’s be honest, this color is a major vibe.

Jasmine aka @dietmntdewy

HOW I MOVE IN GIRLFRIEND
I love to wear my Girlfriend while I'm doing heavy lifting at the gym or while I'm out walking my pups.

THE MUSIC THAT MAKES ME MOVE
I create different playlists based on the type of workout I'm doing. Right now I'm focused on walking more, doing heavy lifting and introducing HIIT, so I like pop music from the early 2000's or hip-hop/rap.

HOW I STAY MOTIVATED
I try to imagine myself months ahead of where I am, and I remind myself the hard work will be worth it. I also never finish a workout and regret doing it. Also finding a good pre-workout or simply just putting your workout clothes and shoes on is a great start. Once I have them on, I'm out the door.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND
The way I feel in them. When I'm confident in how I look, I automatically feel better and that helps me to also stay motivated. I also love how I can wear my set to the gym, the store, or just at home.

Amanda aka @amandadapando

HOW I MOVE IN GIRLFRIEND
I love staying active in my Girlfriend, whether it’s going on a run in the park, taking a boxing class, or morning yoga! 

MY FAVE FORM OF SELF CARE
A quiet morning with a cup of coffee, a good book, and some kind affirmations. 

HOW I STAY MOTIVATED
Remembering how great and refreshed I feel after a work out. It’s my personal time to myself where I don’t have to think about anything else. 

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND
Definitely how comfortable it is. I can lounge in my set and get things done around the house, or even run errands. The colors are amazing too. I wish I had a set of every color!

Eleena aka @eleenamills  

HOW I MOVE IN GIRLFRIEND
I love wearing Girlfriend while walking my dogs, running errands, and while practicing self care.

FAVORITE PLACE TO TAKE MY PUPS
We love taking the dogs to Rosie’s Dog Beach and walking along the beach path.

HOW I PRACTICE SELF CARE
Getting my daily dose of vitamin D is so important for my mental health. I love taking some time in the morning to read in the sun, and putting on a cute Girlfriend set is definitely a mood-booster.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND
The colors are so fun and it’s hard to not want to buy everything! The pieces are really well made so i can wear them to a spin class, on a hike, and everything in between.

Cory aka @corysarg

HOW I MOVE IN GIRLFRIEND
I love to mix up the ways I stay active. I love shooting hoops with my dad, bike rides on the tandem, walks around the neighborhood, tennis, pilates and running.

MY SECRET BASKETBALL MOVE
I learned to spin a basketball on my finger when I was 8 years old at a Globetrotters camp and it’s always stuck with me.

FAVE SONG TO MOVE TO
It depends on the activity. When I’m walking I like to listen to the sounds of nature or a podcast like Ghost of a Podcast. My favorite song to run to right now is Simon Says by Pharoahe Monch.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND
I love how soft the fabrics are, the slimming cuts, and fun colors. I love that their products don’t slip down when you have more active movement, they sit well on the body.
