When you work out in a bad sports bra, you really feel it. Perhaps the girls are making an unwanted appearance when you go to stretch, or your bust simply feels restricted. No matter the issue your years-old sports bra is causing, it’s probably worth addressing… with a newer replacement. Sports bras are the unsung hero of activewear, and a good one should provide the perfect balance of comfort, support, and style. This post is your one-way ticket to finding the best sports bras for yourroutine – they’ll have you feeling fab, fierce, and most importantly, powerful!

All in Motion Medium Support Square Neck Crossback Sports Bra

All in Motion Medium Support Square Neck Crossback Sports Bra

I personally swear by this sports bra – I own it in three different colors! The squared neckline makes for a very flattering and feminine look, which can be really nice when I'm reaching the super-sweaty workout groove. The crossed back straps help keep everything close without too much compression. I notice that even when I sweat a lot, it never shows through the fabric. I could go on and on about why I love it, truly.

Outdoor Voices Doing Things Bra

This is another sports bra that's always in my workout 'fit rotation. My favorite features are the thick bottom band that does an amazing job at holding things in place when I'm moving, and the mesh fabric on the backside that is extremely breathable and cooling. Plus, can we talk about how cute this pattern is?

Girlfriend Collective Paloma Racerback Bra

When a sports bra can *also* be worn as a top, everything feels a bit more magical. This one from Girlfriend Collective boasts a longline cut, which is a great fit for those on the go. Because sometimes you don't want to wear just a bra when you're out and about!

Athleta Ultimate Bra

People are obsessed with this bra because of its versatility. It's crafted specifically for medium-impact workouts, which means it's suitable for a wide range of workouts. Beyond that, it's really breathable, quick-drying, and stylish, flaunting a fun cutout detail on the back.

Nike Swoosh Medium Support Padded Sports Bra

This sports bra design from Nike has the pads sewn in, so you're not left worrying about them slipping around and looking all wonky (you know how they can get!). The sweat-wicking material this style is made from ensures you stay comfy throughout all those intense squats and bicep curls you're doin'.

OFFLINE by Aerie The Hugger High Neck Longline Sports Bra

Oh-so soft and supportive, this high-neck sports bra prevents any spillage from ensuing – which is *exactly* what you don't need when you're running or jumping. It's also cozy enough to wear on rest days, meaning you basically get a two-for-one piece when you purchase.

CALIA Made To Move Double Strap Bra

This pick will truly seal the deal – on your bra strap, that is. It comes fitted with a traditional clasp-closure for additional peace-of-mind, plus the double set of bra straps cross the back in a *most* fashionable way. The general silhouette provides modest coverage, too, so you could wear it on its own.

Lululemon Flow Y Bra

This buttery-soft sports bra is the ideal contender for yoga, as it brings forth a barely-there feel when you wear it. The shape is simple yet sleek, but isn't overly tight, either.

Third Love Kinetic Adjustable Sports Bra

This sports bra provides total support through a stylish pair of adjustable straps – a detail from the sports bra gods themselves, that make working out (and getting dressed to go work out) feel less like work.

Alo Yoga Airlift Intrigue Bra

This on-trend sports bra will complete every one of your gym outfits with such suave. Every detail, from the crossing straps in the back, the scoopneck outline, and keyhole cutout elevate your look. The fit is tailored to be high-compression, so you can feel nice and secure, no matter the movement.

CRZ Yoga Strappy Sports Bra

Every bit of this sports bra will amplify your confidence in the gym. The strappy back adds some visual interest, while the soft fabric and stretchy band keeps things taut.

5 Shopping Mistakes To Avoid At Aldi

Aldiis obviously beloved for itsbudget-friendly grocery finds, but even the most seasoned Aldi fans can fail to make the most of their shopping trips there. The grocer is packed with hidden gems and major savings, and you may not realize a few simple missteps can keep you from getting the most bang for your buck.

Aldi typically charges for plastic or paper bags, so bringing your own reusable bags can easily save you some money and the extra hassle!

3. Not exploring the entire store.

Aldi sometimes hides popular or seasonal items in unexpected places throughout their stores, so it's worth checking out all of the aisles, especially if you’re searching for a unique find.

Reddit

4. Not trying Aldi-exclusive brands.

Aldi's exclusive brands often offer quality at a lower price, so it's worth trying them out. Though, beware of some of the items that Aldi shoppers say aren’t worth it.

Some of the Aldi brand names to look out for include Simply Nature, LiveGfree, Earth Grown, Clancy's, and Specially Selected.

5. Skipping the “Aisle of Shame.”

The “Aisle of Shame” is where Aldi stocks limited-time deals on everything from home goods to seasonal foods. You can truly find the most random things here, but for unbelievably low prices.

Some shoppers have even scored things like kitchen tools, food processors, cutting boards, leggings, pajamas, bike baskets, and more. Skipping this aisle means missing out on some real fun surprises and great bargains!

Michelle Randolph Teased We'll "Fill In Some Blanks" In The Dutton Family Tree Before '1923' Season Finale Ends

1923 season 2 premieres on Paramount+ February 23, and Michelle Randolph (who plays Elizabeth Dutton in the cast) is "so excited" for you to watch the new episodes — and she's been keeping up with all your fan theories!

"There are some crazy ones. I feel like the biggest fan theory thing is the family tree," she tells Brit + Co exclusively. "I've seen many different family trees and so it's like, 'OK, which one's accurate?' I actually drew my own at one point."

Here's what Michelle Randolph had to say about 1923 season 2, and the Dutton family tree, in Brit + Co's exclusive 1923 interview.

Michelle Randolph teases '1923' season 2 finally gives us answers to the Dutton family tree.

By the end of season 2, Michelle Randolph says "we might be able to fill in some blanks" in the Dutton family tree, which is a very hot topic for internet users! "I had to make my own [family tree] because all of the ones I saw on the internet were like — every single one was different. I was like 'I'm confused.'"

The Dutton family is made up of incredible cast members like Brandon Sklenar, Harrison Ford, and Helen Mirren, and Michelle reveals that the cast are just as close as their characters.

"There's a giant group chat called Giddy Up, which started during cowboy camp of season one," she says. "A cute little name, and I think I mean we all were on location in Montana and all in the same hotel, and we would get dinners after [filming], so I think even though our characters are very different and in different story lines like we all really did bond, which was really helpful to have each other throughout the chaos of of shooting a show."

The actress also says Elizabeth would connect with her 'Landman' character Ainsley.

And if you're a tried and true Taylor Sheridan fan, you've probably picked up on the fact that Michelle isn't just in 1923 — she also has a starring role as Ainsley Norris in Landman! But would Elizabeth and Ainsley get along if they met in an alternate universe?

"That would be a fun thing to witness. I think they would," she says. "They're very different, but the similarities between them is they're both young women who are finding their place in this world and I think that they both actually look at the world through very bright eyes and have a lot of hope, which is an interesting correlation between the two of them. I think Elizabeth has gone through so much more than Ainsley obviously, so there might be a difference there, but I think they would get along."

Matcha Lovers, Beware: A "Global Matcha Shortage” Is On The Way

Leaders in the matcha industry are predicting a matcha shortage this spring. Sparked by a huge surge in demand, it’s possible that your go-to drink could be affected.

Here’s everything you need to know about this season’s matcha shortage.

Nataliya Vaitkevich / PEXELS

Per The Japan Times, increased demand for matcha powder put an “unprecedented strain” on the tea industry last year, and the same effect is predicted to take place in 2025.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Japan saw a 185% increase in matcha production from 2010 to 2023 in order to keep up with demand from cafes and home baristas around the world, The Japan Timesreports.

Cup of Couple / PEXELS

Seeing that over half of Japan’s matcha is exported internationally, matcha lovers are looking toward the country for their green tea fix. Search interest for matcha has nearly quadrupled over the past 5 years, and it shows no sign of slowing down.

Olena Bohovyk / PEXELS

This year, mostly organic matcha strains will be affected by the shortage, though lower-grade varieties could face the same issues if consumers begin reaching for them in favor of organic offerings. While top-tier, organic strains like ceremonial-grade matcha are known for being sweeter and smoother, the lower-grade kinds like culinary-grade matcha are noticeably more bitter and don't have the same vibrant color.

Charlotte May / PEXELS

Matcha can only be harvested in the springtime, so though a shortage may be happening now, there’s hope for increased supply in the near future. This year’s harvest will start in April.

Polina Tankilevitch / PEXELS

Even though production will ramp up, Jason Eng of Kametani Tea in Japan, a company that produces matcha for beverage companies around the world, says: “This year will be an interesting one. We haven’t hit a point yet where we’re going to run out, but it’s going to be really tight this autumn – not just for us but for everybody. The demand is off the charts.”
