Gum- Focusing and getting in the right mind set is 99% of the battle when working out. Sometimes popping in a piece of gum gives me something to put my immediate focus on so the rest of my body can work subconsciously. Pur gum is aspartame free (aspartame has been found to cause brain tumors) and travels light.
Hair tie- Men don't understand the importance of a good hair tie, but they allow my body to sweat without sacrificing my blow out, which I try to make last 5 days.
Extra panties- Featured are Victoria's Secret seamless panties. Sweating is super beneficial to the body, but can also cause bacterial and yeast infections especially in women. I always cary a spare panty with me for my post workout rituals.
Face Wash- Although sweating is the best thing to maintain a healthy glow, you must also wash your face post sweat to remove the topical bacterial and toxins released. I use a raw organic plant based face wash Luminance Gentle Cleanser, which is strong enough to remove dirt and makeup, but gentle enough to reduce redness and irritation.
Toner- After sweating and releasing all the toxins from your skin, you also lose significant nutrients as well. A rosewater toner will help to balance your skin and lock in moisture. Luminance Skin Care has an inexpensive, travel size toner, which is lightweight and fits perfectly in any small bag.
Moisturizer- Hydration is the key to life, as well as the key to great skin. Replenish your largest organ of the body. I use calendula hydrating lotion from Naturopathica, made for normal to dry skin.
Mascara- After I work out I like to leave with a freshly washed face and a little mascara. 100% pure mascara is non toxic and hypoallergenic. I have had many eye infections in the past and this mascara reduces my chances and smells incredible!
Don't forget your workout shoes!
Shoes- All Birds are light on the feet and as comfortable as a slipper. They are great for to and fro the gym, or a hiit class.
