You Got the Look: New Gym Staples You Need

Me Mondays:

When it comes to going to going to the gym, there are only a few things you need to score a great workout:

A great pair of shoes

Comfortable and cute workout wear

A sports bra with the right amount of support

And for me, an upbeat workout list

But what do you do with all those other things you have to keep up with like a towel, water, your id, keys and your phone? I've gone through a myriad of bags to keep up with everything, but when it comes down to it, I don't need a big gym bag. However, I do need something to hold all my stuff, especially when you don't have any pockets. Presenting the Go Caddy. 

Designed to minimize what you carry, the Go Caddy is the ideal bag to accompany you to the gym, a long walk, going to the park, a bike ride, a ball game and even when traveling. It holds just what you need with a comfortable strap and allows you to carry the bare essentials - handsfree, so you are able to do what you need without a big bag or backpack to keep up with. 

Buy the Go Caddy online and at some retail locations across the U.S. 

Water is also one of the staple items that you should have with you no matter where you are, but especially when you are doing hot yoga, spin, pilates or a good run. Unfortunately, depending on where you are filling up that bottle, it may not be the tastiest or cleaniest of the water. However, did you know that with the help of a special piece of charcoal, you can create some of the cleanest water imaginable? 

Created by the innovative designers black + blum, check out the the eau good filter water bottle. The bottle uses a filter system with binchotan active charcoal, which has been used in Japan as a water purifier since the 17th century. It reduces chlorine, balances the pH and adds minerals to the water. The unique tab on the side hold the charcoal firmly in place and can be squeezed to release for easy washing. The bottle looks like glass, but is actually made of BPA-free tritan, a crystal clear and very sturdy plastic. After about 6 months, the charcoal can be recycled for many uses including removing odors from shoes, the refrigerator, etc. or sprinkled in the garden to help plants grow. 

I'll be honest, you'll definitely have people looking at your water bottle trying to figure out what's in it, but rest assured you'll have the freshest look and taste.
