I am putting together my gym bag, and I don't want to forget anything! Besides workout clothes and a water bottle what is the one thing that you can NOT live without in your gym bag?

    I go to the gym in the morning before work, so I get dressed there. I keep an extra, older pair of underwear and bra in my bag because that is not something I want to forget. Today, I forgot socks, but that's not such a big deal. I also keep old glasses and a contact case if something happens.

    I also keep shower shoes.

    Other than that, it's pretty normal.

    my clothes of course. shoes. hair tie. My lock for a locker and my phone with ear buds I keep in my purse. (not sure why I keep my lock in there but i do)

    I go after work so I don't need all my getting ready stuff. when I used to go in the mornings before work, I would bring makeup if I wanted to wear it, a flat iron for my hair, deodorant, clothes to change into, and a little washy loofa thingy. and flip flops. a hair brush.

    hair tie, contact lenses, headphones. if I forget any of those I'm screwed! :)
    if I'm going somewhere after, then makeup, dry shampoo, hairbrush, deodorant, & clean underwear/clothes! I just bought a $29 mini travel flat iron from sephora that's adorable & I can't wait to try it out - perfect for post-gym hair!
