Working out during the month of December can seem like the biggest joke at times. Even in the golden state of California, the cold weather can seem like a burden. Convenience is a huge issue, from pre-workout energy boosting to post-workout touch-ups. But we’ve got you covered so you can keep in shape with no trouble at all. For those of you who haven’t experienced it yourself, those workouts keep you sane as well during the most stress-inducing periods of your life. Much better remedy than overindulgences on food or other substances.
1. Pre-workout protein is a common phenomenon but have you ever tried pre-workout tea for a change?
Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy tea by Yogi is the quickest fix I’ve taken in order to boost my mood. Not only is it energy inducing, it also smells and tastes incredible.
2. Once you’re done with your workout, here are a few go-to products to bring to the gym with you. Rimmel London has a couple of products that are easy to use and are sold at the most incredible prices.
To list a few, use their Scandaleyes Original Mascara for beautiful lashes. Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner is a must have but make sure to also bring a eyeliner sharpener in case it dulls out.
3. If you’re aiming to look cute right after the gym, the Provocalips 16 HR Kissproof Lip Colour, also by Rimmel London, is a must have. I’ve tried endless colors and I still am at odds as to which is the cutest but they come in pinks to purples to reds.
And true to its claim, this lipstick stays on, literally for forever, even after a few sloppy kisses.
4. You can’t forget shaving. If you’re running to the library again to study, scruffy hair is a no. My motto for most of what I do is that when you feel good about yourself, you perform so much better and are able to execute everything to perfection.
The Pure Silk Cream is a shave cream that comes in a compact cute bottle and the scent is unforgettable.
5. Lastly, after that strenuous day of studying and working out, please treat yourself. You deserve it. I am so proud of you and you should be so proud of yourself as well. The best face mask I’ve used in 2016 is by the brand Leaders Cosmetics. My skin dries out easily but the 7 Wonder Caribbean Coconut Calming Mask is the most moisturizing product after a harsh day.
Love yourself and treat yourself well!
