What’s in My Gym Bag

By Amra B. 

Many of you have been asking for a post about some of my favorite beauty products; however, since summer is coming up, and many of us are working on getting into shape for the bikini season, I have decided to share some of my favorite gym goodies I take with me to a workout session each day.  

 

I usually prefer to use large gym bags as they allow me to accommodate everything I need; I have found quilted gym bags to be super comfortable to carry due to their soft material. Additionally, my yoga mat, five-pound weights and a pilates ring are always present. I love to adjust the difficulty of the class exercise by adding my own weights and/or using the pilates ring when doing crunches. I also try and bring my own yoga matt so I can stretch anywhere, improve flexibility, and reduce muscle injury. 

My beauty routine when exercising is pretty simple; I wear sunscreen whenever I go outside (even in winter). For summer time, I use SPF 50 on my face and an SPF 30 on my body. I bring a thermal water spray with me to use after a workout; it helps me get rid of the flush and calms the skin on my face. I also love to add a little bit of a lip-gloss, and I love this nude kind that looks natural but polished. I use Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray to add texture to my hair and tidy it up after exercising. 

Outfit: Quilted Koala Gym Bag, tights Reebok, shirt Victoria Secret, and sneakers JackRabit.

Inside the bag: Quilted Koala Makeup Bag, Eau Thermale Avène (Ultra-Light Hydrating Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+), Eau Thermale Avène (Thermal Spring Water), Sisley Lip-gloss #2, Bumble-and-Bumble Surf Spray, Pilates Super Ring Everlast, and Dumbbells Empower
