Wardrobe Wednesday: Straps & Scrunchies - A Yoga Mom’s Signature Touch

-

 

There’s something about the rhythm of a busy yoga mom life—running from class to errands to a quiet moment with a chai—that makes you treasure the little touches. The details that make your day smoother and sweeter.

And this week, I found a new favorite: a simple, colorful way to turn my everyday tote into something unmistakably mine.

The trick?
A satin scrunchie bundle clipped right to the strap.

That’s it.
Four soft scrunchies—lavender, baby blue, mint, and pink—nestled together with a small alligator clip and fastened gently to the strap of my favorite black Lululemon tote. Suddenly, that sleek, structured bag wasn’t just “yoga gear.” It was my yoga mom bag. Playful. Softly Styled. Practical. Thoughtful.

It made me smile every time I picked it up.

Why it works:
It’s functional: You always have a scrunchie on hand for a topknot, a wrist accent, or even just a little sensory comfort during the day.

It’s expressive: That flash of pastel on black says softness lives here. It’s a detail, but it feels like a signature.

It’s flexible: You can switch out colors to match your mood or outfit—lavender for calm, pink for joy, mint for play, blue for clarity.

And you know what? I got compliments on it twice before noon.

✨ Want to try it? Here’s how:
What you’ll need:
  • 3–5 satin or pastel scrunchies
  • 1 alligator hair clip (small to medium)
  •  A tote or yoga bag strap
How to put it together:
  • Thread each scrunchie over the inside prong of the clip.
  • Clip them securely so they sit snug and pretty.
  • Attach to your tote strap where it won’t get tugged—and let it dangle like a charm.
  • Optional: Sigh with happiness when you see it.

In the world of yoga moms, a tote bag is more than just a bag. It’s our mobile headquarters. It carries everything: water bottles, protein bars, rolled-up leggings, fresh layers, rose water spray, maybe even a baby wipe or two—because life gets messy.

So why not let it carry your vibe too?

Whether you’re headed to hot yoga or just out chasing down a lavender longline activewear top, that little burst of satin color says exactly what you want it to:

“I’m soft. I’m capable. And I planned this outfit.”

🌸 From One Yoga Mom to Another…
Whether your tote is packed for a day of flow, errands, or simply finding softness in the world—add that little pop of color, comfort, and you. You deserve to move through your day feeling prepared, playful, and beautiful.

Here’s to satin on your straps and peace in your step.

With love,
Alice

    That is such a yoga mom move—and such a sweet one, too. You’ve got style and backup hair ties? I’m stealing that idea! Namaste Ashley!

Fitness Friday: Managing the VDL (Visible Diaper Line) in Yoga & Fitness

-

“Wait—did you catch that? Not VPL, but VDL. Everyone talks about the dreaded visible panty line. But for those of us who live in diapers, what we really have to worry about is the visible diaper line. It sounds a little funny, but it’s also real. That little outline can bring on a flood of questions: Can I really go to yoga without people noticing? What about barre, Pilates, or the gym? The good news is yes—you can absolutely move, stretch, and sweat with confidence. With a few smart choices, VDL doesn’t have to keep you from the studio.” 1. Choose the Right Base Layer Your leggings or yoga pants do most of the work here. Go thicker: Brushed, ribbed, or fleece-lined fabrics hide outlines far better than thin, shiny ones. Play with patterns: Heathered tones, camo prints, or busy designs distract the eye much more than flat solids. Darker shades help too: Black, navy, or charcoal absorb light and disguise lines, while pastels and pa...

Release Before You Strengthen - What Every Incontinent Yogi Should Know About the Pelvic Floor

-

✨ Introduction: When you wear diapers—whether due to incontinence, disability, healing, or simply tender self-care—yoga becomes more than just movement. Every step onto the mat is an act of vulnerability, strength, and grace. People will tell you to “just do Kegels,” but that’s not always the answer. In fact, if your pelvic floor is already holding on too tight, squeezing harder can make things worse. As someone who crinkles with every stretch, I’ve learned the most important lesson in pelvic health isn’t about strength—it’s about trust. And trust starts with release. 🌿 Why “Release Before You Strengthen” Matters The pelvic floor is a sling of muscles that supports your bladder, bowels, and internal organs. But like any other muscles, they can be: Too weak (leading to leaks) Too tight (also leading to leaks!) Or stuck in both at once You might think strengthening is the only solution. But here’s the truth: ✨ A muscle that never relaxes can’t get stronger. ✨ 🛁 Pelvic Floor Release – L...

🧘‍♂️ The Benefits of Yoga for Men with Urinary Incontinence: Strength, Support, and Self-Acceptance

-

Urinary incontinence is more common than most men want to admit. Whether it’s the result of surgery, injury, trauma, or time—leakage and loss of control can chip away at a man’s confidence, activity level, and even his identity. But yoga can offer something powerful in return. As someone who lives openly in diapers and practices yoga daily, I’ve seen how this practice can transform the relationship between body, breath, and shame. Some people might call them absorbent garments or products for bladder protection. But let’s be honest—they’re diapers. And that’s not a dirty word here. It’s just part of how I live, move, and care for my body. Yoga isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about healing—physically and emotionally. 🩺 What Causes Male Incontinence? Common causes include: Prostate surgery Nerve damage Injuries, Trauma or PTSD Aging and weakened pelvic floor muscles Many men respond with silence. Or withdrawal. Or isolation. I responded with yoga. 🌿 How Yoga Helps Men w...
