It's the Little Things

We recently decided to pay for a nice gym. At this nice gym, we have cardio machines with their own LCD/tv screens, complete with headphone jack so we don't have to hear the ESPN newscast all around us. There's something to be said for working out to 'The Simpsons'. This new, fancy gym also has a lovely, large locker room - and, most importantly, a full schedule of spinning classes. We are new to spinning, though not new to riding our bike. But while we can keep up a decent pace on our bike, we were not, in any way, prepared for spinning. We, generally, do not sweat a whole lot. We can usually rinse off quickly and be on our way. After spinning, we were positively dripping. It was rather filthy.

But, we felt great and we are really excited to go back (especially after eating a rather insane amount of stuffing this weekend). However, this time we are prepared. We are absolutely wearing our cycling shorts. We are, without a doubt, bringing a hand towel with us to wipe sweat off us and the bike - we even purchased two towels just for this. And we are absolutely bringing our newest purchase, the Bliss Sinkside Six Pack, with us. Sure, we could've gone to Target and picked up random, travel size things and tossed them into our gym bag. But that wouldn't have been nearly as much fun. And it wouldn't be even close to a treat. We know working out is good for us, but honestly, getting sweaty at 6am is a lot easier to stomach when we have something to look forward to afterwards.

Plus, we've found that the lemon-sage products from Bliss smell exactly like Lemon Pledge, and that is probably our favorite smell of all time. It's actually a pretty good deal, and it'd make a great gift for that random present you always end up having to give. And, it's a really nice way to end a rather grueling hour. We love Bliss, but can rarely justify the cost. This little six pack is like the samples you get from Starbucks - it's enough to do the trick, and let you make an educated decision about buying the real deal.
