This time of year we are trying to balance family time, menus, school vacations, and work schedules. How do we also make sure to fit in our regular workouts? I know it’s hard for me to maintain an exercise routine without the stress of the holidays! Never fear, Words to Sweat By is here! This small business combines humor, fun, and motivation all in a hand-sewn towel. My favorite is “10 More Reps and the Cupcake is History.” The designer, Whimsical Walney, has created 12 different mantras. You are sure to find one to fit everyone on your gift list this year. And did I mention the towels are super-affordable at only $9.95 each? No more excuses! Get your shopping done this weekend!

The shop recently added eco-friendly, reusable snack bags, too.

Find my favorite small business, Words to Sweat By on Twitter, too.

I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.
