Brr, It’s Cold in Here!
After landing in Chicago on Friday, Tyler was surprised by the frigid temperatures and blustery wind. So, he stopped by Lululemon to to pick up some warmer clothes: Fast and Free shorts, an Outdoor Enthusiast Beanie, Zone In Long Sleeve shirt and the Surge Light Tight.
Bachelor Buddies
Tyler and his pal from The Bachelorette, Dustin Kendrick, stopped by the restaurant inside the Lululemon store to fuel up with smoothies. Tyler got the March to your own beet (beet smoothie): red beet juice, pomegranate powder, apple, orange juice, pomegranate juice, fennel pollen, chia seeds. Dustin got the chocolate-covered bacon (old smoke house bacon with a dark chocolate glaze) and a ginger kombucha.
