Like many women, I’m very self-conscious about wearing shorts.  Finding a flattering pair is a challenge.  But these North Face shorts are my go to gym and hiking short for comfort and fit.

There are as many opinions about sports bras as there are women.  I recently discovered a new style that is so comfortable, I forget that I’m wearing it.  And when you’re trying to push through a hard workout, the last thing you need is your bra digging into your rib cage.

I workout over lunch, and while the break in my day is uplifting, the post-workout sweat is less than ideal.  Rushing home to get in a shower, the uptick in body acne, none of it is ideal.  If only there was a way to clean up post-workout without a shower.

There was a time, in my misguided youth, where I wore makeup to the gym.  Full face, foundation and everything.  Now, I would never consider such lunacy.  But that doesn’t mean that I want my acne, tired morning skin, and scarred up cheeks on full display.

Getting back into shape was one of my goals for 2019.  I’ve made steady (if slow) progress.  And while I still loathe working out, as I get older, I can feel how important it is for my body.  So this week, I thought I would feature the products that have made it a little bit easier.
