GYM BAG ESSENTIALS FOR WOMEN!

TRAIN LIKE A BEAST AND LOOK LIKE A BEAUTY

Exercise is one of the easiest and most effective ways of improving both your physical and mental health. As well as lowering your risk for serious health problems, a little regular exercise can ease depression and anxiety, boost energy and mood, and relieve stress.

As seen in the pictures above!

The Top 5 gym essentials according to me are:

1. An Ultimate gym bag!!

2. Post gym skin savers :)

3. Pretty shoes (even at the gym ;) )

4. A functional tee

5. The best hair ties!

A good gym bag can just be grabbed on your way out the door in the morning. If you hit the gym before work.

All the essentials can be thrown into this ultimate 'saviour' and we're done.

It is very important to not only take care of our body, but also our SKIN.! Post workout our skin will will be sweaty an a bit gross! So, don't forget to pamper it with some good quality 'post-gym skincare products' :)

Behind every successful woman there is a brand new pair of shoes. :)

Wear some good sporty shoes to pump you up during workouts :)

A comfy workout tee can take your workout on another level :) Wear some funky tees to boost your spirit and which will also not irritate while exercising

Hair ties!!! They are a strong component of gymming especially when you have long hair! Make sure you have the BEST hair ties ever so that your hair don't come in your way :)

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING : WATER! DRINK LOTS OF WATER to keep yourself hydrated! :P

Lot's of love! :)

DIY LIPSTICK

The Base Recipe

1 teaspoon beeswax pastilles
1 teaspoon Shea butter or Cocoa Butter
1 teaspoon coconut oil

This base recipe will create a smooth, clear lipstick that is very moisturizing and protective. It is made from completely natural ingredients and is safe for us on the lips or skin. If you want, you can add color with the following add-ins to create a color of your choice.

Optional Color Add-Ins

For Red Hues: 1/8 teaspoon of beet root powder or 1 drop of natural red food coloring with no chemical additives.
NOTE: Add these very slowly as a little goes a long way!
For Brown/Tan Hues: 1/4 teaspoon (or more for color) of organic cocoa powder, a tiny pinch of cinnamon or turmeric to get the shade you desire. :)
For a more Matte texture: 1/4 teaspoon bentonite clay
For Scent: A drop of essential oil of choice (optional)

What and How to do

Melt the beeswax, shea butter/cocoa butter and coconut oil in a glass jar without a lid in a small pot of simmering (not boiling) water. It should melt quickly because only a teenie-tiny of each ingredient is used. ;) :P

When melted, remove from heat and add any optional ingredients like colour or scent. To get the hue in the picture above, I used beet root powder (1/8 tsp or less), 1/4 tsp cocoa powder, 1/8 tsp bentonite clay, 1/8 tsp cinnamon and a drop of peppermint essential oil.

Once all ingredients are mixed well but still liquid, pour into the lip chap container. I used the glass dropper from an old tincture bottle. Fill just below the top as it will expand slightly as it cools. Leave to cool for at least half an hour. Store in a cool place (under 80 degrees) or it will soften.

Enjoy!

Let me know how it turned out :)
