Stay Fresh With Green Deodorant
If you’re going hard during every workout, there’s a strong chance that you need a deodorant that can stand up to the test of a high-impact training. It’s no secret that traditional deodorant contains chemical ingredients that can impact certain aspects of your health, and we’ve got the perfect solution for keeping things fresh and all-natural. Try this bestselling Greeench deodorant from cult favorite cosmetics brand Lush and enjoy sweat and odor-free protection while you exercise and go about your daily life. Instead of using a stick, this deodorant is in powder form and can be patted or dusted onto the body for herbal freshness assistance.
Try Plogging
While most people are spending their time at home, the environment has seen some significant reductions to greenhouse emissions, making a case for global conservation methods. Plogging is another way to continue to allow the natural environment to replenish and repair itself. So what is plogging anyway? The word is a combination of the Swedish phrase plocka upp, meaning “to pick up,” and English word jogging, and it's become a popular new way to incorporate eco-conscious elements into daily exercise. Bring along a pair of gloves and a trash bag on your next jog or long-distance run, or stroll through the neighborhood and help keep your community clean. To get more ideas on how to plog in your area, check out the #plogging hashtag on Instagram for some inspiration. Don’t forget to bring your Aeropex wireless headphones along to keep you motivated to keep moving!
