Keeping it COOL

Summer is coming and this a go to item for our family. We use these all year round for different activities but during the summer we find these especially useful for when the electric goes out on the hottest day and you can't sleep.

Just soak these with water, twist, snap, and place on your body to cool. Best places are back of neck, wrists, and back of knees. These are also great cooling down those who have fever or sun stroke. Also great for laying on sunburns.





Soft on skin, has 98% UV blocking rate 50+ UV protection index.

Most of the time these are used while exercising, yoga, pilates, bike riding, and walking in our family. I love that even if it is just sweat if you twist and snap it will still feel cool. A plus for those who may work outside in the heat all day long.

I love that they are two toned, but do wish they came in more feminine colors like pink and purple. My girls would be in love for sure.

Anti-Slip Yoga Pilates socks

This is something I have needed. Until now I just had one pair so often the one pair were in the wash and I had to make due without a pair while doing yoga. These are great and keep me from slipping during exercise. I feel stable while doing poses. 

There are 4 colors with anti-slip bottoms. They are comfortable and stay put while providing just the right amount of support. These come up to your ankle area and are not no show socks. These are also great for using when you go to places that have jumpy house, or in our case trampoline parks. They give that extra security of not slipping. 

The #Aulexy anti-slip socks can be found at my affiliate link below. Note it says 5 pairs for some reason but you only get 4 pair. Not sure why it is stated like that. 

What Aulexy has to say about their product.

- PERFECT FOR YOGA, PILATES, BARRE, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PRACTICE. PVC grip dots cover the entire foot for a safe and secure step during any workout. Heel tab design prevents sock from sliding down the heel when worn with shoes. Tired of slipping when practicing yoga? It is the Secret of Never Worrying about Losing Grip!

- SUPREME QUALITY WITH COMFORT AND BREATHABLE. These nonskid socks are soft, breathable and extremely durable. No more holes, shrinking or shedding! Natural cotton absorbs sweat, gives you ultimate comfort with less bulk and offers you barefoot feeling.

- FAIRLY ELASTIC AND GRIP LIKE A PRO. Engineered anti-slip grips on the heel and arch offer superior balance, comfort and stability, which helps you hold your poses with ease during yoga practice. Elastic material comfortably stretches over your foot for a snug and secure fit that won't twist or slide with use.

- PREVENT INFECTION: Bare feet combined with shared mats make you vulnerable to fungal infections. Regular socks are less breathable and less absorbent, which leads to infection. Investing in our socks now to avoid pain down the road.

- ALL PURPOSES IN ONE. Ideal for not only yoga, but also pilates, barre, bikram and ballet dance. Perfect for home, travel, studio and hospital use too. Specifically designed for Yoga and Pilates, it offers superb grip and traction on almost any surface, which results in better balance, stability and control during workout sessions.

Fitness a2z

I am fairly new to using a pilates ring but my daughter wanted to do pilates and yoga with me so we have added on another mat, and now a pilates ring. I love that this one came with a resistance band as I usually have to share with my daughter but now she has her own.

This is a comfortable ring to use with great hand and thigh holds. You can do so many different moves with this from beginner to advanced. I love it because I can change my workout to match how my Fibromyalgia is flaring up on any given day.

This is a great way to add a little more resistance to your pilates workout.
