Sensing a bit of deja vu? That's because I did this post when I first started my blog back in the day (still have the same bag and everything awwww). My FitBit is my best friend so hitting my steps is my main goal everyday. In order to ensure I crush my goal, I go to the gym everyday at lunch. I wish it was justifiable to wear Nike leggings and a sports bra to work, but I don't work for Google (yet) so I bring my gym bag with me everyday to change into. That means some essentials are needed so I don't head back to the office smelling like blood, sweat, and tears.
Leggings - Nike leggings are my heart and soul. Do yourself a favor and head on over to Nordstrom Rack to get these puppies at a discount. Plain black, camo, polka dot...there are so many options and they fit like a glove. Nothing better than showing off that booty, amiright?
Armband for Smart Phone - Since I discovered armbands my life hasn't been the same. It's so much more convenient to have your music attached to your arm than sitting on the treadmill ready to fall. In fact, I'm in the market for some wireless headphones (recommendations please) so that my music is completely hands free!
Deodorant - Needs no explanation.
Mini Flat Iron - Sweat + my thick hair = disaster. I always have dry shampoo on me but sometimes that just isn't enough, so when I discovered they make MINI flat irons (bless Sephora) I knew I had to get one. It's tiny enough to not take up too much room in my bag and is perfect for those last minute touches before I head out the locker room.
Hair Ties - Again these don't need an explanation, but I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten a hair tie so now I have an entire package in my bag just in case.
Makeup Palette - When wanting quick touchups before I head back to work, an all-in-one palette is perfect. I use tarte's Rainforest After Dark palette because it has eye shadow, blush, bronzer, and a highlight so I can give everything a little boost before finishing my day.
Perfume - I do take a rinse in the shower before changing back into my work clothes, but I still feel like I need a little scent boost after a workout. My favorite thing is to carry a different little perfume sample each week so my scent is forever changing. I have a reputation of always smelling good so IT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE OKAY?!
