Fit Review Friday! Fast As Light Muscle Tank!

Happy Friday! I'm actually quite sick at the moment, so this will be a short fit review. I seem to have caught a cold somehow. It's summertime, how does this even happen?! I almost never get sick, but since moving to Atlanta this is maybe the 3rd time I've gotten sick. 😩

This is the one purchase I've made so far in August, and I can't decide if I should keep it. I purchased this in my usual size 4 and I think that was the right call.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops. Occasionally I sometimes size down to a 2.

I love the cropped length of this tank and the criss cross back makes this a great running tank. However, for $58 it feels like it's very little material and fabric for the money. It feels like scraps of fabric in your hands. It seriously doesn't feel like a piece of clothing!


Although the length is cropped it does not show any skin on my short torso. I am still fully covered in the front. It seems to be fairly comfortable even with the high neckline. Speaking of the neckline, the hole is really small. I barely got my head through the top. That's another reason I'm hesitant on keeping this. I'm unsure if it would be uncomfortable running. Does anyone have this top? Would love some other feedback on those who decided to keep it.


As of right now, this color is indeed sold out. However it is still available in tiger space dye and heathered black. 

That's it for me! I will have a pretty big Athleta review coming up over the next week. I may have to break it up into two posts. Hope everyone has a great weekend! I have a 5 mile run on Saturday. It's my longest run ever... I'm a little scared!

  2. I bought this tank in space tiger dye and I'm also on the fence. I think I would've liked it better in solid colors. I'm holding on to it for now as I do know this is a hot commodity!

    1. I'm leaning towards returning it. I would much rather buy another Breeze By Muscle Tank instead.

  3. Woiksss... Ms. CuTEness, please get well soon!!! The top looks good on you, however, I have to admit that price... urmmm... this is among the moments I feel Lululemon really is banking in on the brand's name, because I could get something with this cutting without the name from some local brand and it would be Malaysian Ringgit MYR 20. Imagine that in your currency! Cheap as chips!

    1. Thanks! I'm feeling a little better today. But agreed it's the brand name and definitely not worth the full price. It's being returned.

  4. I was intrigued mostly because of the demand in BST apps, but I'm not a fan at all. I don't understand the hype. Don't get me wrong, it looks great on you. I think it looks better on your small frame than on someone taller as a true crop top. The back it kind of awkward.. I don't think it "falls nicely". My honest opinion- use that money for a pretty color essentials tank or new speeds or something else. This style is not a good "lasting" look that would get lots of wear out of my closet. For that price, it's too trendy and you should absolutely love the style. You're on the fence so you probably already answered your own question anyway.

    1. Totally right. The back does look a little weird. Probably just FOMO that's hyping it even more. It's being returned.

  5. I bought the Fast as Light tank in the navy, heathered black, and tiger space dye - returned all three today.

    Wasn't a fan of how cheap the fabric felt and didn't like the way the top looked on me enough to justify spending $58/each...

    1. Totally agree with you. Just feels like a bunch of scraps sewed together in the back... not worth the $$.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.
