I am one of those nosy people who loves posts and videos about what’s in people’s handbags, makeup bags, gym bags, etc. I just think it’s such a fun peak into someone’s life. Later this week I am sharing some pool/beach bag essentials, but today I am sharing what’s in my gym bag. PLUS I have a really fantastic giveaway for you, so make sure to check it out.
First off, my gym bag. I love love love this bag. It’s from Lululemon and was a bit of a splurge. However, it’s very roomy and it’s also a good bag to take on weekends away etc.
Inside of said gym bag I keep a lot of things permanently and there are others I switch out when need be.
The things I always have in there are extra hair ties, a headband, and bobby pins. Then I have Dove Dry Deodorant Spray, Lush Dirty Spray, Lush Lip Scrub, Bite Agave Lip Mask, a brush, and facial cleansing wipes. These things are for when I need a post gym refresh for when I am not going right home. More often then not I have errands, or I am grabbing coffee with someone, so I like to look and smell presentable.
I try to keep extra socks and a pullover in my gym bag for when it’s chilly or rainy. One time my socks got super wet in the rain and I swore I would always from that day on have extras. Lessons learned.
I then I have headphones, because who wouldn’t have headphones at the gym? I have an arm band for my iPhone for when I need to be hands free. I always take water and snacks too.
The snack part switches up every now and then but lately I have been loving Orchard Valley Harvest Snacks. When we got these in the mail, Andrew and I immediately tried every flavor and I became obsessed! The Cranberry Almond Cashew are my favorites, and the Dark Chocolate Almonds are amazing too. I hate being hungry after a workout and having really yummy and filling snacks on hand is a must!
These are a great alternative to chips and other impulse purchases like candy. Why negate the workout you just had? Grab & Go and Multi Pack sizes of Cranberry Almond Cashew Trail Mix, Dark Chocolate Almonds, and Chocolate Raisin Nut Trail Mix are now available in the produce section of Walmart, among the fruits, vegetables, and other products that help promote a healthier lifestyle. I truly love them and I would not speak so highly of them if I didn’t.

I’m definitely commenting as a part of the giveaway but I’m excited to comment anyways! I read your blog very often and use a lot of tips and tricks that you post for bloggers. Anyways, a summer workout that I’m excited to attempt (keyword) is some Kayla Itsines stuff.
Love your gym bag! I’m a big fan of Vera Bradley…love this giveaway!
I have that same Dove deodorant, I love it but my fiance haaates the smell, hahah! In the summer my fav workout is swimming! Wish I had my own pool 🙂
Great giveaway my favorite summer workout is going out on my paddle board it’s a great arm workout and what a way to start your morning so peaceful
Those look so healthy and yummy! Perfect for after a workout!
I love orchard valley snacks. They’re crazy good. That bag is super cool too!
I love the color of that bag. I don’t do much outdoors in the summer once heat and humidity set in I can’t breathe.
my favorite summer work out is being outdoors and jogging with my kids and husband!
I love getting out for a run!
Oh love this! I’ve never heard of the dirty spray… interested!
Great things to put in any bag! I’m going to have to start putting in snacks! lol.
Those trail mixes look so yummy! I would rather have them in my bag than hard candy and crackers. It looks like you have everything you’d need all in one bag. Great planning skills there!
I love that gym bag! And I can’t work out without a really good headband.

I’ve gotten spoiled as my building as a gym so I no longer need to bring a bag with me BUT a well stocked bag is important especially if you work out either before or after work.
In the summer, I like to walk twice a day. It is a fun workout for me, love walking along the river and parks. 🙂
Bike rides.
I’m not a big trail mix person, but that actually looks pretty good!
These look great! I have been looking for quick snacks that I can have before or after my run in the mornings. I will have to give them a try!
That’s my kind of gym bag. Having snacks hair ties water bottles that’s exactly the kind of stuff I need when I head to the gym
Headphones and hair ties are a must for the gym! I also keep hair ties in my purse, because it’s always the worst feeling not to have one when you really want one.
My favorite summer workout is biking.
Love this! The snack look tasty. Sophie x

My favorite workout to do in the summer is go for a long run!
I like to run on the beach.
I like to run early in the morning before it gets too warm or swim when I have a pool available!
Headphones are def a must when going to the gym when I am not taking a fitness class. I like to be in my zone when I work out. Of course deodorant is very important too. I carry that all the time. I have never heard of the Dirty spray by lush but I have def going to have to look into it!
I LOVE TO TAKE MORNING WALKS, BEFORE IT GETS TOO HOT 🙂
My favorite summer workout is doing P90 with my friend and husband each morning, followed by a walk and some yoga!
My favorite summer workout is walking and jogging in the park.
My favorite summer workout is swimming, it’s just to hot to do anything else.
I started a pilates class next to where I work – i love it!
outdoor bootcamp! btw there is a confusing other comment section above (I think it might be part of an ad????)
I enjoy a good walk. Preferably alone but I’ll get a walk in any way I can
My favorite summer workout is dancing
I like swimming
I love a good hike up (then down) a mountain!
My go to is fastball, or slow pitch, but I also enjoy walking around Wascana Lake. Takes about 1 hour. Got to get back on track tho.

My favorite summer workout is walking the dog throughout the neighborhood.
