the lululemon manifesto

man·i·fes·to
A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions.
When people first meet me and find out that I manage a yoga wear store, they usually assume the following things:

1. I'm a vegan.
2. I practice yoga daily.
3. I live a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

Unfortunately, it only takes a few minutes for me to pop their imaginary bubble because:
1. I am what my friends call a "meatatarian", a person who loves steak/hotdogs/bacon so much that "carnivore" is too feeble a word to describe my eating habits.
2. I love yoga. I really do. But the only time I have to prac
tice it is early in the morning and I value sleep much more than I do exercise.
3. If you call not eating regular meals, imbibing copious amounts of scotch on weekends, and putting as much sugar as I can into my daily cup of coffee, then yes, I do live a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

Or not.

I admit, I don't exactly set a good example. I am a typical girl young enough to still feel invincible but old enough to realize that I couldn't get away with it forever. So, I decided to look to the Lululemon manifesto for inspiration.


Most of the things in the list can be easily followed. How difficult could it be? I guess I'll find out soon enough.
