• Why is Vie Active one of your top choices for active wear?I choose to wear Vie Active because not only is it functional, but it is also stylish.  I can wear it for my workout and then head straight to lunch or run errands without feeling like I'm still in 'gym clothes'.
  • What are the benefits of wearing this range when training? The material is comfortable next to skin, moves with me, absorbs sweat and does not smell.
  • How does this enhance your workout? and post workout? During my workout, I appreciate the way merino wool absorbs sweat and odor.  I know I won't smell and leave a pool of sweat wherever I go.  Post workout, merino wool dries quickly so in the time I leave the gym to get to my next scheduled event, I look presentable am comfortable (no post-workout chill from sweaty clothing) and I don't smell of sweat.
  • How does wearing the range make you feel? Awesome!  It's cute and I get compliments every time I wear Vie Active pieces.
  • What are your favourite pieces from the range? I love the Libby Hoody to wear to & from the gym, running around town.  The Katrina tank is great option for outdoor workouts when it's a bit cooler and the Lisa Superlight Racerback is perfect for my gym workouts.

  • Message you’d send to the world I feel like everything I have to say is cliche: Live the life you love, be the best you can be, treat others as you would like to be treated, don’t confuse effort with success, live laugh love......but these are some things that have resonated with me and they are easy mantras to follow when I can’t think clearly.  Some of my biggest ‘ah-ha!’ moments have come from unexpected experiences and people.  Don’t be afraid to try something new, listen to others, accept help and laugh at yourself
