Whatcha Got in Your

Published on by Heather

Bag?

unnamed (3)

Maybe it’s an odd question, but when my client’s daughter asked me,  I though why not share?  My gym bag/purse has a few simple goodies in it as I use my bag more for traveling back and forth to clients homes and the gym when I teach a class. I just emptied it out (thank goodness because there was a way bigger mess in there)

1. A Jump Rope why? because jumping rope burns 10 calories a minute all the while strengthening your butt, legs, arms, and shoulders. I use it to warm up my clients and incorporate jumping rope into their workout routines ( I use it for my own workouts as well) It’s a great tool that does not get used nearly enough. A workout anywhere, anytime, what are you waiting for? Go get one!

2. Aquaphor I can’t survive without it, I have eczema and the most sensitive skin on the planet. Everything burns and feels awful….but Aquaphor, I tried EVERYTHING. Friends gave me super expensive creams or lotions to try, still did nothing. I use this goop under my eyes as an eye cream. Slather it on my face for dry skin. I use it on my cuticles, my lips, my elbow, ankles… the uses for this miracle stuff are endless.  I know some of the top makeup artists swear by it and so do I! $4.99 Target

3.  Ahava Hydrating Hibiscus Body Towelettes So I am a personal trainer… I teach classes, I train in home and in private, going from client to the next client. I do a lot of the moves with my clients to keep them motivated, not a big fan of just barking orders. I get sweaty, I do not have time to shower between clients, I can quick freshen up and then be sure I will not offend my next client or myself for that matter. Buy for $6.99 at Target.

4. Herbal Essences Naked Dry Shampoo  I carry two different dry shampoos in my bag one that is priced so well and works great, (herbal essence) it is a spray and I am not so fond of any kind of spray, but it works well and It’s great again for freshening up hair after a workout or sweating. Smells like white grapefruit and mint, very delightful $2.99 at Walgreens.

5. Alterna Bamboo Beach Coconut Mango This is by far my favorite, but at $20.00 for that little teeny tiny bottle (you can see why I use two) It is a lot of cash. The smell is amazing and I love that it is not spray, but talc free powder. It really refreshes and your hair feels so much better after wards. Find it at Ulta.

6. Trader Joe’s Fruit Bar Usually there is more than one in my bag, I give them out to clients if they feel light-headed or just need a snack. Of course I eat them as they are amazing. Have to love the simplicity of this bar… they contain two kinds of fruit. No additives. No preservatives, nothing weird, or things no one can pronounce. Just Yum! 0.99 cents each!

7. My Notebook It is one of my many playbooks so to speak. Boot camp workouts, clients individual workouts, notes, you name it… it is in there. Each client is different and each client has a workout written for just for them, however things change, clients have bad or good days, muscles hurt, anything can occur and I have to adjust, when that happens a workout just flows out of my head and its on the fly.

8. Pacifica Coconut Pearls Luminizing Lip Quench I am not a fan of makeup on the face when working out. Lips are a different story, they get dry and cracked and I like a little shine. It has amazing avocado and yummy coconut oil. Lips feel awesome after applying,  tons of moisture and a natural light glow. I found this one at Marshalls for $3.99, not sure if they are still making it. (boo)

9. An Extra Tee Shirt This one is by Kensie Girl. I heart this tee, so soft and comfy.  I always have an extra tee-shirt to change into and this one just makes me smile. Amazon for $10.77 (just click on the word Amazon)

10.  Resistance Band These double-handed short bands are excellent for both upper and lower body exercises. Bands in general are great for full range of motion exercise, awesome for traveling and everyday use. I swear by bands, another under utilized workout tool. This one I purchased for under $12.00 at TJMaxx.

11. Stella McCartney Adidas Bag This was a steal and I adore this bag for the color, the metal accents (which you can’t see since they are on the other side of the bag) and the size. I found this awesome bag at YOOX and It was a few months ago. I am not sure if they have more, but it is a great site to shop and find awesome fashion deals. Enjoy!

XOXO

    1. Thank you for the nomination, I was nominated before by another wonderful blogger and I had some family issues going on and forgot to do it. I am going to pass, as I have a pretty big on my 21 things about me and I feel as if I owe my other lovely friend it first. Can’t wait to check out your blog!

    1. Thanks Avery! I have done a few posts in the past about what was in my purse, everyone seems to enjoy them so as a trainer I thought it would be cool to share what was in my bag at the moment.

  11. Great post! I am totally going to try Aquaphor and the Herbal essences Dry Shampoo! I have one I really like (because it WORKS) called Kenra that I got at Zennkai for about $20 but it’s a much bigger bottle. But I’d love to try out a cheaper one even if it’s just for back-up or for my gym bag.

    1. Hey lovely! I am so glad you enjoyed this post, I swear by Aquaphor, I can use it on my face and not break out, if you are prone to breakouts than don’t use it on your entire face… you can use it under your eyes as eye cream, that is how gentle it is. The herbal dry shampoo is great and its all natural! Let me know what you think!

    1. Hey Girl,

      Not odd at all, I have a few back posts with what is in my bag under my currently category. I think it is fun too, I once had a friend who carried an arsenal of tools and first aid items and in a vintage Chanel… super strange, but she was always ready for anything LOL

    1. HaemIn,

      If I may offer advice, make sure your running sneakers do not have any heal on them and it sounds like you are landing on your feet incorrectly when jumping or running. Most of the time that is the cause of shin splints. You also have to land super light on your feet like a cat! Hope that helps a little my beautiful friend.

      XOXO

  15. I loved hearing more about you through this post. I’m totally getting a jump rope too. I use to always jump rope as a kid and it’s such an easy way to get a workout. Good tip!

    Seeing that Kensie Girl shirt, reminded me of the first time I read your blog. It was the post where you wore the Kensie Girl leggings with the reindeer print. I left you a comment and you responded. 😀

      I am so glad you enjoyed this post. Jump roping is fun, just be light on your feet and let go..listen to your favorite music, you can skip rope, jump – dance in between…just be!

      You are going to giggle… I am wearing those leggings right now as I type this, the man and I are in for the night drinking wine and snacking. 😉
