Yesterday after work I went straight to the gym. After triple checking that all necessities were shoved into my little tote, I entered the gym to realize that I had forgotten the smallest, yet most important item: an elastic to tie my hair back. I turned right around, went back through the crowded parking lot and searched my car in hopes that I would find one. I didn’t, so I went home.
Because the only way to not waste an entire night is to get right to the gym after work, I always have to pack before work, but I find it to be hectic, especially since I have the kind of bag that necessitates emptying everything just to double check that I’ve remembered one thing. Yeah, it’s not a gym bag.
So, last night I was eyeing this XcessRize Designs gym tote in slate mirabelle by Alexander Henry.
It is $54.99 and believe it or not, it is big enough to fit a yoga mat, has interior pockets to put your keys, cell phone, ELASTICS, etc. It also has another interior pocket where you can put your wallet or sunglasses, another great perk for me as I recently broke my target sunglasses because I tend to throw them aimlessly in my purse. Are you noticing a trend? It even has an exterior pocket for a water bottle, or in my case, an aluminum container.
I can’t decide which one I like best.
Ooooh, THE TOP ONE! Though I’m a pink girl, so I’m a little biased =)
Gah! I do that all the time. Lucky for me, my gym gets free hair ties from Scrunchie or something so they always have extra. Though, I have picked up and left before – there’s no way to workout with your hair down – impossible.

Those are sooo cute! And I totally need something to bring to the gym every day…I love the bottom one.
And I would totally leave the gym if I didn’t have a hair elastic too…it would be impossible to work out! Sigh to being a girl…
