We’re constantly searching online for different blogs and articles to help inspire and motivate us. All that information can be overwhelming and sometimes surfing the net for ultra-marathon training tips can take longer than actually running the ultra-marathon. We wanted a way to track down all that information (from challenging workouts to new recipes) without wasting valuable time. That’s when we fell in love with Zite.

zite, the personal magazine

Zite is a free iPad (and now iPhone!) app that pulls together articles about all the topics we're interested in and organizes them into a personal magazine. The app personalizes the feed depending on which articles we read and how we feel about them; we can give an article the thumbs-up (or thumbs-down) and share it with friends. The more we use it, the more it learns about what we like and, over time, it serves up the best content from our favourite sources, people and places.

lululemon's section on zite

Zite is a great tool for busy people who love to discover things, so we've been working with their team to co-create a section within the app to curate content that both inspires and challenges us. The section pulls from some of our favourite sources and topics across the web – recipes that make us want to cook, workouts that make us want to sweat and design inspiration that helps keep our creative juices flowing. We’ve sculpted our section on Zite to serve up content we think you’ll like; the more you read on Zite, the more it will cater to your own personal taste. If you read more articles about yoga, rather than ones about running, you’ll start to see more posts about Half Moon and fewer about half-marathons.

how to get the lululemon channel on zite?

1. download “Zite” on your iPad or iPhone

At the moment, we're still testing and evolving our Zite section. We'd love to hear your feedback about it. Try it out and let us know if you think it's something we should keep doing.

Did you know that one of the most amazing details on a brand new lululemon garment is a thin strip of ribbon located (usually) at the base of the neck? Get out your magnifying glasses and check out what you've been missing!

The reversed side of the tag is in French. For our American friends, French is one of the two official languages spoken in Canada!

And if you're ready, most of the tags are removable. Just gently pull on it and it will tear free of the seam.

Many guests have asked, and we listened. On our new garments, you should be able to find a little circle on the inside of the liner or pocket noting the size of your garment.

Curious about what goes on behind the scenes at the Guest Education Centre? I'm going to tell you - a lot. More than you'd expect. Today there was even a piñata. Intriguing? Read on...

Over the course of any given day, we wear a lot of hats. I am a product expert, a solution seeker, a community guru, and an order specialist. I can tell you what the name of that favourite shirt is. (You know the one from Fall 2006? Yeah. I loved it too.) I'll listen to your concerns and ideas, and make sure they get heard by the team at our Store Support Centre. You want to apply for our Strategic Sales program? Sure! Check out our website. Team Sales? No problem! Right this way. There are days when I feel like Tamara Taggart’s stand-in, sharing Vancouver’s weather with our friends around the world. (And in case you're wondering, it is 21 degrees Celsius and partly cloudy.) If you're planning a trip to Vancouver, I’ll tell you my favourite place to put in 10K and who teaches a mean hot yoga class. I can help you find exactly what you need to help you sweat once a day and like it.

It's a happy place to work. The room dazzles the eyes with bright colours, much like your favourite local store, and our goals bring the walls to life. The aforementioned piñata was a fundamental part of today's fiesta, as we said goodbye to one of our favorite educators, Gab. We have pancake parties and potlucks to celebrate each others successes and achievements - we even helped our Ta Ta Tamer, Melissa Content, on her fundraising journey for The Weekend to End Breast Cancer.

The best part of working at the Guest Education Centre is going above and beyond for you, our guests. We delight in being people, not automated recordings, and we love to interact with you. Have you met us yet? Give us a call at 1.877.263.9300. We'd love to chat.
