"Neutrogena's makeup wipes are perfect for not only taking your sweat and dirt off but also all makeup, including waterproof mascaras. I also swear by Scunsi hair ties ($3) and New Balance sneakers (I just got a pair for my birthday, and it literally makes running a whole different experience). I always have a snack in my bag too. Whether it’s a bag of almonds or an organic honey crisp apple (the best!), it’s always good to have something in your bag so you can snack before or after your workout.
"When I was training for the Olympics, I didn’t wear any makeup, but for competitions I definitely wore some. L’Oréal's waterproof mascara was my go-to, along with a little gold eye shadow (for good luck!) and some clear lipgloss. I also love Bare Minerals' powder foundation ($29)."
"I’m obsessed with the athleisure look and just love that it’s so in right now. I spent my entire life in leotards and leggings and tops, so now I love that I can wear it out of the gym too. My go-to look from a Pilates class to a brunch is a pair of leggings with a crop top, wedge sneakers, and a bomber. So easy, yet so stylish!"
