Today I thought it would be really fun to write about how I keep my gym bag organized and what things I find essential to always have with me when working out. Personally I like to keep things really simple. I do a lot of commuting so my gym bag is super tiny, but I manage to fit quite a lot in it. If anyone is wondering where my bag is from, it is from the store Aritzia by a brand called community. There stuff is so beautiful and they have tons of really cute workout stuff which is an awesome way to get motivated.

So in my gym bag I of course always have the outfit I am planning on wearing that day at the gym, so shirt, sports bra and bottoms (leggings usually, sometimes shorts). Sometimes I also like to hit the sauna, pool or hot tub so I'll bring my bathing suit in a plastic bag for when it's wet. I also of course bring my running shoes, especially in the winter when it's impossible to simply wear running shoes (I wish). Other basic things include my water bottle (which is amazing, it is glass so it does not smell, can be purchased at target), deodorant, wallet, keys etc. Although, sometimes I just keep those things in my purse.
Now for the fun stuff! I just recently bought the Women's Nike Perforated Golf Cap which is my new best friend in the gym. It is so awesome for when you are having one of those days when you just want to hit the gym and be totally alone because it hides your face. But mostly I just love it because its super cute, I wear it casually out all the time as well and I am most likely getting the same one in white, can you say addicted?!

There are a few beauty products I really love to have with me while at the gym as well. I typically do not do cardio unless I know I am going home straight after, so many times I do weight lifting workouts in the middle of the day. So, because it is at such an awkward time, I'll be wearing makeup, I use a really great primer and I'm lucky to have my makeup stay in place quite well. My skin regimen is pretty stable and I don't usually have any issues with breakouts and such. However, when I feel like I am at risk I do take my makeup off or I will powder my face after a workout to control any shine or problem area. I usually keep concealer, MAC's translucent powder (which I swear by) and makeup wipes with me at all times. These are pretty much the only ones I need for any retouching. In my purse I obviously have so many more beauty products, but in terms of gym related ones these are my essentials.
Anyways, that's all I keep in my bag, hope it gave some insight!
