Youphoria Yoga Towel Review

I received the Youphoria Yoga Towel for free in exchange for my honest review.  Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to actually try it out before the deadline as the front room isn't ready yet from the IKEA shelving units being installed (this is week 6 of waiting for it to be complete).

When I shared the pictures on Instagram after opening the package, I asked a question that nobody answered...

In the mail on Thursday... #ad I received Youphoria Yoga's Microfiber Non Slip Yoga Mat Towel for free in exchange for my honest review. Although it's meant for #bikram #hotyoga I believe that it can be used for other workouts. I'm just not sure how to lightly dampen it before use. For those of you who use towels like this, how do you get it wet ahead of time? Austin picked out the color combination of black with grey stitching. #yoga #nonslip #microfiber Check out the towels on Amazon http://amzn.to/2BaNUQd

How do you lightly dampen a yoga mat towel before use?  Do you carry a spray bottle with you?  Do you wet part of it at the sink or fountain?  I'm trying to figure out how best to use this.

The Youphoria Yoga Towel is 24" wide and 72" long.  It hangs a couple of inches longer than my mat.  The carpet has turned purple where my mat lays (not sure if Benny's ever noticed this) so I won't want to dampen the edges of the towel so I don't also accidentally turn the carpet black.

Microfiber towels are great for absorbing spills so I can only imagine how much the Youphoria Yoga Towel can handle!  Benny's towels are washed with the regular laundry on warm so I'm going to have to remember to switch to cold when I wash the yoga towel.  The Youphoria Yoga Towel clings to the mat when it's rolled up so you don't have to store it separately.

What I'm really curious about is whether or not my feet will slip and slide while doing such exercises as planking and mountain climbers.  Both normally result in my shoes trying to come off.  Has your yoga towel helped with this?

The Healing Tree Natural Lip Balm Review

Every winter my skin gets super dry with my hands and lips suffering the worst.  Both my lips and hands sometimes end up cracking and bleeding.  With my hands it's no problem re-applying lotion every few hours (or when I wash them).  My lips are a different story.  Lip balm doesn't seem to do any good, having to apply so much more frequently.  So when the opportunity came along to try The Healing Tree Natural Lip Balm I jumped at the chance.  I received a tube for free in exchange for my honest review.

I noticed right away how smooth The Healing Tree Natural Lip Balm was to apply.  Other lip balms I've had to backtrack over the area to fully cover my lips but that wasn't the case with The Healing Tree!  One passs and you're good to go!  You can immediately see and feel the difference on my lips.

What do you look for in a lip balm?
