Healthy happy you.
One of the best tips I learned from my personal trainer was not how to make my butt smaller or arms more toned, but rather to use a shower cap when I am pressed for time at the gym. It's such a simple idea, not to mention very inexpensive, but it does wonders for cutting down my time in the locker room. If you're like me, and blow drying your hair is just not an option, using a shower cap while Read more
I recently purchased my own microfiber towel to carry around with me at the gym to wipe my body. I am in love with my new little towel because it's way softer than the ones provided at the gym, and I know where it's been. This Aquis Adventure Small Microfiber Towel ($8.69) is lightweight and compact; making it ideal to stuff in your gym bag. Since it's microfiber, it also dries quickly between Read more
I know most of you read the title of this post and are now thinking I must have gone off the deep end, but bear with me here . . . Cinnamon Buns To Go ($6) from Philosophy is actually a great product that is a space-saving addition to any gym bag because it is actually three shower essentials in one: shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Not only does it smell fab, but it's great for a quick Read more
I am sure this has happened to you: You decide to workout during your lunch break. This means you have to change, workout, shower, change again and get back to work, all in under an hour. Somewhere between applying your deodorant and putting on your shirt, you manage to get white streaks all down the sides of your blouse (you know, the one you have to wear all day). Water helps, but once it dries Read more
It's Spring cleaning season, and my old weary gym bag is getting the once-over. I want to replace some gym bag essentials whose time has come, so I'm looking for new high-performing replacements, like a water bottle that doesn't leak, a gym towel with pockets and a hook for easy gym toting, and a stash of snacks for fueling up before I Read more
At the gym, your first focus is on fitness, not your appearance. So instead of primping, focus on preventing future issues like breakouts or bad B.O. Pack your gym bag with these essentials — along with hair ties that won't leave creases — and everything should work out quite nicely. Read more
We're happy to present this story from our friends at Allure: Track and field star Jessica Ennis, currently in training for the London 2012 Olympics, recently admitted that she always competes in a full face of makeup. And Ennis's explanation of her race ritual to The Daily Mail certainly makes sense: "I definitely think if I feel I look good, it makes me feel more confident," she told the Read more
I've got wavy, long, and thick wild tresses, which, needless to say, isn't the easiest to manage post-workout. I try my best to skip washing my hair every day to prevent damage, but I love the feeling of squeaky clean hair. Even when I attempt to just rinse my hair with water, I may throw in a bit of conditioner to make my hair smell like a bouquet of fresh flowers. For those of you like me who Read more

Nothing motivates me more to work out than a fully stocked gym bag waiting for me in the morning. Except, perhaps, a cute gym bag that's not only filled with gym essentials but also has all the compartments and room I need to transport my workout gear. If your friend is the same, gift her this holiday with a cute and functional gym bag. From sporty to fashionable to Read more
