What's in my Gym Bag?

If you read my March recap, you know that one thing I've started recently is going to the gym at least twice a week. With that being said I thought it would be appropriate to share what I like to carry in my gym bag. The bag I usually carry is a red vegan leather book bag. I love it because it shows off my style, it's big enough to carry most of the things I want to bring and it has several pockets inside.



Of course, I have basic necessities like deodorant, a hand towel, Lip Balm, and a Headband, but I also have a few favorites I can't go without. One thing is my Samsung Icon X wireless headphone. They offer hours of Bluetooth streaming for listening to music, taking calls, or listening to your workout routine. With a touch of the finger, I can change the song, adjust the volume, or start recording my workout. They get me ready and in the zone for a great workout.

Since staying hydrated is key, I make sure I bring along my Swell water bottle. It's eco-friendly, keeps my water cool, and it's leak-proof, so I can toss it in my bag and go.

I also have a few extras I recently added like the Yuni "My Om World" Body Micro Mist with 100% natural essential oil aromatherapy. It contains organic kukui seed oil to provide soothing essential fatty acids plus antioxidant vitamins A, C and E to protect skin from free-radical damage; fair trade green tea extract to reduce the formation of free radicals and help to reduce the activity of bacteria on the skin to prevent blemishes; and a proprietary blend of essential oils, including geranium, bergamot, neroli and sage to help enhance deep relaxation after sweating it out.

The newest product added to my gym bag is the Yuni Flash Bath No-Rinse Body Cleanser. On gym days, I usually drop my son off at school, go home, change into my gym clothes, and run to the gym. Afterwards, I'll go back home to shower and change, but sometimes there's days when I need to make a Target run before heading home. This product is perfect for those times. It's not sticky, contains ingredients like aloe vera, hydrolyzed quinoa, neem leaf extract and requires no water. Simply wipe off the sweat, massage this light foam cleanser to your skin, and you're good to go!
