What’s Inside My Gym Bag + Thirty-One Gifts Online Party
Today I have a super fun post to share with you! All about what is inside my gym bag! Plus an opportunity to go shopping online for your own gym bag and many more ways to organize your home and life! Before I share with you whats inside my gym bag let me talk for a little bit about my own gym bag. Being a personal trainer, yoga instructor, and mom I like to have enough room to carry all my most essential items. That can add up to carting around lots and lots of stuff.

Yoga mat, water bottle, gym items, you name it and it holds, and to top it off the bag is just super cute!

Post Pregnancy Must Haves For Moms
For any of you mama's getting ready to have a baby soon here is my list for post pregnancy must haves! These are all products/items I used to aid in my recovery. I wore a Belly Bandit and it 100% made a difference in how I looked in my clothes after Caden was born. I felt really supported and wore it all the time except for showering until I was 4 weeks postpartum and for the next 2 weeks only wore it at night. I purchased the small and extra small sized bands. For the first week I wore the small the sized band and the remaining weeks wore the extra small. This won't be the case for all new moms but I had the worst, and I mean worst, body odor ever after delivery. It lasted for weeks. Make sure you pack deodorant with you to bring to the hospital. I like the Tom's brand because they contain no harsh chemicals and it smells fresh. I used several witch hazel pads topped with medicated foam and ointment to soothe my stitched skin and hemorrhoids. All of this and more will be provided … [Read more...]
