For my 40th birthday, one of my girlfriends bought me a week pass to a barre class and I was hooked immediately. I liked it so much that I put my gym membership on hold and started taking these classes exclusively for the past six months. It is truly amazing how much stronger my core is and even more impressive how much more flexible I am! But I’ve been missing my zumba and bodyworks classes too! So after the first of the year I’ve decided to mix it up and do all three. Variety is the spice of life, as they say!

And thanks to Simply Stylist, I am also making the switch to Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant to kick off the new year. Over the holiday break, I was given two samples to try and have to say I was immediately impressed. It will definitely be making it into my gym bag in the new year! I’ve been a longtime fan of Dove products for years…seriously won’t use anything else to wash my face but this bar soap so I had a feeling it wouldn’t disappoint. The “Cool Essentials” Dry Spray scent is my favorite with a mix of cucumber and green tea…very light & refreshing. Plus it offers 48 hours of odor & wetness protection, which I appreciate as a mom who starts her day in her workout clothes and often doesn’t get to shower until after my workout and then school pickup! But the best part is that it goes on instantly dry and leaves no visible residue. Check it out for yourself at Dove.com and #trydry.
