HYGIENE
Odor eliminator balls are such a life saver when it comes to dance bags. All of those shoes going in the bag after working hard in class requires the odor eliminator balls. They are super easy to just throw in bags and work immediately.

Dove deodorant products work amazing for me. Especially when sweating in class for hours, it is important to have a deodorant that is long lasting and effective.
Shop Deodorant & Antiperspirant
The Frenshe perfumes are an affordable choice that leaves you smelling great when running out the door to dance. I personally love these lavender flavor and have always gotten compliments on that one!

These wipes come in handy all the time at dance rehearsals. After sweating I found it so much better for my skin to reach for these wipes to clean off my face and have noticed much less breakouts.

I love the Garnier micellar water to take off my makeup after dance competitions. It all comes off so quickly even with a small amount! I have also noticed less breakouts when using this compared to a makeup wipe.

Kitsch hair ties are amazing. They hold your hair without having to use multiple hair ties while dancing full out. They’re also made of recycled material so it’s a win win!!

Resistance bands are great to warm up and train your feet or get a nice stretch!
