    I feel like I should say this: I’ve been following both blogilates en Halara for years and Halara was definately first with the waterbottle in the pockets, they were even first with bringing back the skorts. With multiple different options and styles in dress and also the shirt underneath. Or at least before blogilates. I can say this with full confidence. The only thing they did was copy a bit of marketing (the video style) which was not cool, but also not illegal. I really don’t like it when someone like cassy gets a big name and then pretends like she discovered hot water.

      most “ethical” brands that aren’t using sweat shops for manufacturing are still buying a fuckton amount of fabric from third-party merchants that are produced in sweat shops. so as lovely as it is to be self-righteous in conversations about fashion and sustainability, you need to either make all your clothes yourself, hire a seamstress to do it for you, or buy your clothes from etsy and other small businesses. otherwise we’re all equally complicit.

      Girlfriend collective has really good active clothing-their clothing is made from recycled materials (water bottles, fishing nets, “waste” textiles) and they are fair-trade. (I believe they also have a recycling program too…?) I first found out about the brand when they offered free leggings when the brand was soft launching (just needed to pay shipping and handling).
      I really like what brand stands for and they are also really inclusive with their models (age, race, size). I have a fair amount of leggings and tops from them over the past few years and they still hold up well with very minimal to no pilling (I only hang dry them, and wash with cold water, so I can’t speak if putting it in the dryer). The lighter colors are also squat proof which is a must.

    As someone who owns both Popflex and Halara, Popflex is way more worth it for me. Cameltoes for me aren't just unsightly, but also HURT when you try to work out, at least for me (I think I have a slightly long torso so that may be why). I'd rather own few, really nice pieces than a lot of pieces that make me uncomfortable

    Ive personally bought Halara items and have loved them. They feel like good quality and they look great on me, being a bigger girl. A problem i find often with ethical and sustainable clothing is the size and cost issue, like you mentioned. They dont carry sizes that fit my chest, and they are always like $50 for a plain tshirt and $100 jeans. The built-in bras in Halara items actually do offer enough support, because the item itself fits tighter as well, so between the two, it works.

    Also just a kind reminder everyone - more expensive items doesn’t mean the brand is being ethical, it could just mean they’re making more money off you. Generally, if a brand is ethical, you will be able to find solid information about it in quick google as they want you to know they are ethical.

    I did actually come across Halara long before Blogilates became popular so I'm not sure how to feel about this. Halara has been in stores too before the blogilates rise. Perhaps they did change their methods and try and follow blogilates later on but I remember seeing blogilates and feeling that they were actually the ones capitalising off of other smaller brand ideas and they just popped off. ❤

    • @misssunnydee
      @misssunnydee Před 8 měsíci +10

      Ehm... my knees made sounds too, as in cracked a lot when I bent down. I didn't worry either at first. Until I got major inflammation out of nowhere (big reddish, hot knees, couldn't bend legs at all, barely walk, had to be sent to a hospital to get several injections every few days as well as other meds). Turned out that "out of nowhere" meant that my cartilage had been steadily deteriorating. I don't have ANY anymore, and my patella's can be moved up and down by hand! As a result biking and driving a car is no longer possible because the patella can get stuck in the wrong position - not just excruciating, but very dangerous in the moment. I was in my mid thirties when I took X-rays and heard, "There is nothing to be done anymore, and bone is now grinding on bone". Obviously that means the issues started years before that. Maybe you're completely fine, butknee sounds are definitely not always good.
      If there's any form of osteoarthritis or rheumatic conditions in your family and/or you're a dancer, athlete, construction worker or gardener (the type to sit on his knees a lot to fix tiles/road/plant & design stuff) then you can get osteoarthritis or any type of chondropathy in your knees as young as your teens or twenties.

    • @_bebeboudeur_

      idk if it was due to that but i've heard about cartilages in knees and i should have took medicine for it in high school but couldn't swallow the gelules so to this day, nothing has been done and no doctor looked it up since, hopefully it won't go that route but yeah, definitely worry a lil @@misssunnydee

    • @misssunnydee
      @misssunnydee Před 8 měsíci

      @@_bebeboudeur_ If you are/were supposed to take meds for it back then already then they probably worried about bone deterioration which is common with osteoarthritis and tried to prevent it. I am going to assume this was something along the lines of Glucosamine/Chondroitine/ MSM. Very, very common. I was subscribed the something, but whenever I was in Greece - sadly no longer an option as I'm in a wheelchair now- I could get it in a powder.
      Perhaps search for the contents of the capsules (I can't swallow most pills either, certainly not those mega ass gel capsules. Torture 🥴) and see if you can get it in any other way.
      Two things to try:
      -Make and drink bone broth. Let's hope you're not vegetarian/vegan, cause this is really really healthy. Easy to make as well and extra cheap if you can get bones for free (knees, shoulder, etc). Especially for people with any kind of cartilage/ bone issues or those that *might* get them.
      - Collagen & gelatin powder. The first bit of scientific research shows that taking a glass of Collagen powder (depending on the reason you need it, you either take marine collagen or grass fed beef Collagen, the latter more for skin, nails, hair). This is basically what's in your bones, nails etc or used as build up for keratine. Extra intake could repare and prevent small damage and limit pain and creaking.
      In Europe one of the better brands is Great Lakes, but I'm sure you can do your own research for where you live. Good luck 🤗.

    I super appreciate your dive into the sustainability and ethics of brands! One thing I would note is that a brand's website should never be taken as truth without straight evidence. Like you said, "we hope" doesn't mean it's happening. Another common phrase is, "we are committed to 'sustainability'". Phrases like this are so vague and usually aren't backed up by evidence. So many people look to you for advice, so great job doing the work! Some great resources would be Shelbizleee and Gittemary here on CZcams who are both big sustainability creators with lots to say about different brands and how to figure out what is green washing. Again, thanks for the work you're putting in!

    So happy that Mia reviewed Halara!!! I actually searched for reviews when I initially considered purchasing with them, and ended up experimenting with one piece of jeggings in black. Luckily, it was a success and I absolutely love them and ordered a second pair. I can lounge in them and have been asked to give the link to family and friends, they were one of the $30-40 pairs with pockets.
    But still I’ve been afraid to get the active skirt I’d been considering that I now feel like I need it and know I’d want the “long” + I was worried about the faux denim in any color beside black. Thanks Mia!!

      I own a few pieces from Halara and I have washed them many times (even put them through the dryer) and they have held up beautifully. They still fit just as nicely as when I first bought them. My main complaint is that some of the workout dresses are not double lined or padded so I either am slightly exposed or my bra shows. I do wish I knew more about the sustainability and the labor laws they follow but I am happy to continue purchasing from them.

      Do any of the clothes ever smell? I got the flare leggings and they reeked - a quick Google search told me it was likely formaldehyde... which is used to make fabrics wrinkle resistant, but also to protect against mildew. Even after airing them out and washing them a few times, they still have a strong odor, and I'm afraid to wear them now. I have a gift card from a return (I bought 2 sizes trying to figure out my size), but now I'm hesitant to buy any more. I'm hoping I just got a "bad batch."

    Completely agree on the 'hold the brand to account over shaming the individual', but that doesn't mean we at an individual level can shirk responsibility - we should all be aiming to be as sustainable as we can manage within our own personal circumstances and knowledge base. The constant purchasing of stuff feeds into this.
    Halara are not sustainable or ethical, As 'good on you' say the fact they don't share information on their environmental or labour standards is just not good enough and indicates they're covering up. not even to touch on the ripping off of other peoples work/plagiarism. issa no from me.
