Yoga: A Few Faux Favorite Items Part 1


Faux Yoga Faves

If you would have told 2 or 3 years ago FauxPrah that she would be a yoga nut, she would have told you that you've lost your damn mind.  How could that help.  I ran track, played basketball, did body building for God's sake.  I can't just sit in a room and stretch?  How little I knew.

I was introduced to yoga during a particularly hard time in my life by my former roommate Tara or as I like to call here Tare Bear.


Anyway... it has helped as much physically (you will find muscles you didn't know you had) as it does mentally (it helps to center your thoughts).  That being said there are some items that help make it a little more palatable.




What is it?  According to Target.com...

Tide Plus Febreze Sport laundry detergent delivers the amazing clean you expect from Tide and is upgraded to deliver even better tough odor removal with a higher level of specially formulated cleaning ingredients.* It delivers a deep-down clean that helps fight sports odors, especially sweat, while leaving behind the fresh scent of Febreze. As part of the Tide Plus Collection, Tide Plus Febreze Sport laundry detergent gives you the amazing Tide clean you expect plus more of what you love!* *vs previous formula ; Now deeper clean fights lingering odors!* *vs previous formula ; This laundry detergent is part of the Tide Plus Collection ; Tide detergent designed for high efficiency washers ; Tide detergent kicks odors off the field with a deeper clean! ; Active Fresh Scent Tide laundry detergent .

What does Ms. Faux think?

I already sweat a lot, but more than that I love hot yoga so by the end of the class it is like a monsoon has hit.


This stuff helps to keep all my yoga pants, tops, bras, towels, etc... smelling fresh and not musty.  Even a few day old items smell immediately better and have less funk.



What are they?  According to SportsAuthority.com...

Sink into each move on the mat in the ASPIRE™ women's Element capris. Crafted to maximize your comfort and minimize chafing, they're made of soft moisture-wicking fabric with smooth flatlock seams. Ruching at the hems adds the perfect feminine flair, while the wide elastic waistband shapes your tummy for a slimmer silhouette and a more supportive feel when you're in a plank position.
FEATURES


  • 88% polyester, 12% spandex
  • Fitted capris
  • Made of moisture-wicking material
  • Wide elastic waistband
  • Ruched hems
  • Flat-seam construction
  • 15.5" inseam
  • Model: 945S13ASP26

What does Ms. Faux think?

These are heavenly.  They are snug, lightweight, breathable, and gathered at the knee and have a tummy tucking effect at the stomach as to create a beautiful female silhouette.  They look amazing and like they are not going anywhere when you are are in your flow.  That is very important.  I have all sorts of yoga pants and two pairs of these.  I find myself reaching for these first each and every time.




What is it?  According to Amazon.com...

  • Nylon
  • Microfiber Mat-Sized Grippy Yoga Towel - 24-Inch x 68-Inch - Fits perfectly over traditional yoga mat
  • Double-sided construction features a microfiber top and a PVC grippy backing to prevent slipping
  • Microfiber top is super absorbent - dries in half the time of a cotton towel
  • Microfiber is hypo-allergenic
  • Machine was separately in cold water and dry flat

What does Ms. Faux think?

In hot yoga you could just as easily use a regular towel on your mat, I however like these because they not only grip your mat (therefore less sliding), they also are cut to fit your mat and dry more quickly than a regular towel.  I also like that their texture is more smooth so gives for a better mat experience.




What is it?  According to Amazon.com...

  • Lightweight PVC backing, durable and extra-thick for additional cushioning
  • Seals out germs, odor and bacteria
  • Stay-dry top coat wicks away moisture for ultimate grip
  • Provides better grip the hotter you get
  • 78-Inch x 26-inch x 5mm (10 longer and 2 wider)

What does Ms. Faux think?

I love this mat.  Much like the texture of towels, I like mine to have little to none.  Most yoga mats do have a definitive texture, almost like a weave.

Typical yoga mat texture
This mat is smooth with absolutely no ridges.  That is great for a couple of reasons.  I prefer the feel on my body, but also I like the fact that it is more easy to clean.  It also works great in tandem with the grippy towels.




What is it?  According to Amazon.com...

What does Ms. Faux think?

When I'm working out I don't like to stink, but I don't mind sweating.  Also when I'm doing yoga, I don't like the idea of a non-organic deodorant clogging my pores.  For some reason this moment to me is about sweating away the toxins.  This deodorant fits the bill, utilizing essential oil blends to tame the stink.  It comes in a variety of scents, however Ms. Faux do prefer the purple lavender one.

So there are a few of the products that Ms. Faux must have in her yoga repertoire  Check back later this weekend for Part 2 of Ms. Faux's Yoga Faves.  Until then...
