LuLaRoe Consultants, It’s Time to Chill Out
Let’s set the record straight: my love for leggings runs deep. They’ve been my go-to in those moments when I’ve felt more bloated than a balloon at a birthday party, and the thought of button-up pants makes me break into a cold sweat. There’s truly nothing better than slipping into a pair of cozy leggings or yoga pants after a long day of holding in my “mom belly.” Trust me, my abs practically breathe a sigh of relief when I pull on my favorite fleece-lined pair, and I almost knocked my kid over the other day as my stomach rebelled against my work pants like a rubber band.
Leggings get it.
Leggings are the best friend of every mom’s body.
I totally understand the appeal. But please, stop asking me to buy your LuLaRoe leggings. Like, seriously.
For those not in the know, LuLaRoe leggings have taken the mom world by storm. Just mention the name, and you’ll see devoted fans light up like a Christmas tree. I have friends who practically swoon over their LuLaRoe finds, wrapping themselves in dreamy visions of the softest fabric imaginable hugging their thighs. Entire Facebook groups are dedicated to selling these leggings, and I’ve never seen so many grown women wrestling over a pair of pricey mom staples.
I once asked a friend what made LuLaRoe leggings so special, and she looked me dead in the eye and said, “They feel like buttah on your legs.” Not “butter,” mind you. She went full-on Coffee Talk accent. The phrase “they feel like buttah” has become a catchphrase, and if I hear it one more time, I might just lose it.
Now, before you get your LuLaRoe leggings in a twist, let me say that I truly respect any woman hustling to earn for her family. Hosting pop-up parties, managing fluctuating inventory, and keeping customers satisfied while navigating preschool drop-offs is a serious challenge. Hats off to those making an effort to put some cash in their pockets.
But really, must I fight other women on Facebook for a pair of leggings I’ll wear while binge-watching reality TV? I get that wearing leggings that feel like buttah is probably amazing, but why isn’t LuLaRoe available at Target? Why can’t I simply order them on Amazon during a cozy couch session with a glass of wine?
If you want me to buy your leggings, make it easy. I’m juggling a million tasks a day; I don’t have time for a complex purchasing process that involves a catfight over PayPal and invoices due in 13 minutes or I lose out on my coveted one-of-a-kind print.
Not to mention, I have zero desire to pressure my friends into high-stakes sales tactics. I need them for carpooling, and I’m not willing to risk our friendship over leggings that feature questionable designs like watermelons. Seriously, pizza slice leggings? Come on!
I tried to exit a LuLaRoe group three times last week. Three times! Forget politics—let’s just station LuLaRoe consultants at the border; no one is getting in on their watch.
And just to be clear: the next person who adds me to a LuLaRoe group will feel the wrath of my imaginary kick to the LuLaRear.
On top of the frantic sales tactics and bizarre patterns, the price of these buttery leggings is outrageous. At nearly $40 each, I half-expect them to be laced with gold. I work hard for my money, and while I believe in treating ourselves, there’s just too much effort involved to spend that much on leggings with giant pizza designs.
I’d rather stick to my Target leggings, thanks. And hey, Target has a coffee bar, so good luck beating that, LuLaRoe.
So, LuLaRoe consultants, it’s time to chill out. If anyone needs me, I’ll be busy extricating myself from LuLaRoe group chaos, giving a metaphorical middle finger to overpriced leggings.

In summary, while leggings are a lifesaver for many moms, the overhyped and high-pressure sales tactics of LuLaRoe leave much to be desired. I’d rather keep it simple and stick to my budget-friendly options.
