Starting your fitness journey is full of unexpected discoveries within your body. One thing I was not expecting, however, was just how dependent of my gym bag I would become. Seriously, I can't leave the house without it. I find it crucial to keep everything I might ever need during a workout, even if I don’t use everything daily - this way my workouts run seamlessly and I have more motivation to get things done. These are the gym related things I always carry in my bag. Not pictured: dog treats, cans of tuna I bought weeks ago and forgot abou To my gym bag: Thanks for carrying my whole life in your pockets, I don't know where this booty would be without you.

I grew up in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. The world moves slower there; trends arrive worn and forgotten, or never at all. As a teenager, I remember watching hundreds of youtube make up tutorials and the frustration of not being able to find the exact shade a youtuber was using.When my mum finally met her rich boyfriend and started travelling (get that bag girl!!) her first stop when she first visited Spain was Sephora. I had given her a very ambitious list, and she did the best she could. Did she get me everything I asked for? No. We didn't have much money and it was still early stages of her relationship - asking her new partner for help spoiling her daughter would have been too much of a commitment. Instead, she got me what she thought I needed, and in turn she made me realise I could achieve the results of the people I looked up to online with a small stash of make up and some imagination (and puberty).In an act of defiance against health regulations I have had some of these products for years now. Sue me.Here's my favourite staples. Special mention to Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette which was discontinued for being too good. Mine's turning 10 next year.
