I love my Typo water bottles because they’re practical and aesthetic. They don’t leak in my bag (major win), they’re easy to carry, and they look cute enough to match the gym vibe.

Small hand towel — because using gym equipment without wiping it down is just nasty lol. We stay clean and considerate over here.

Of course I have my favourite hand sanitiser in my gym bag as well. After touching equipment all session, a fresh clean feeling before heading out is non-negotiable.
Oh So Heavenly - Hand Sanitizer
My simple little makeup bag from Typo keeps all my small essentials in one place. Inside I have my lip balms, a compact mirror, an eyelash curler, and a mini hairbrush for a quick refresh after my workout. I also keep my Dove deodorant, my Oh So Heav... and some sugar-free gum — because leaving the gym feeling fresh and put together is a must.
