I was recently given the opportunity to try out the Fitness Caddy: a convenient little gym tote. I loved the fact that my 32-ounce SIGG bottle fit nicely inside. Not only that, but my iPod, lip gloss, and keys all fit in as well!

Confession: I haven’t been to the gym ALL WEEK.
True, the kids are home on Christmas break which makes it that much more of a pain-in-the-ass, but I think I was beginning to feel a little burnt out. After four months of hitting it hard, I think this break is just what I needed. Now on […]
