I think I have found the perfect gym bag.
As those of you who follow me on Instagram know, I have been trying to squeeze in lunchtime workouts a few days a week, which usually involves a fast 5K and some ab work, but it always leaves me a hot and sweaty mess.
I then have about 20 minutes to make myself presentable (and non-smelly) again so I can return to the office, and for me that involves a quick shower (meaning I have to bring my own towel), a few minutes with the hair dryer (which I have to supply), and some touch-ups (myriad toiletries and a little make-up).
It was hard finding a bag to fit all that, plus my sneakers and gym clothes and water bottle.
Enter my savior, the lovely Thirty-One All Pro Tote.
I admit I wasn’t familiar with the Thirty-One brand until my friend Gina (an independent Thirty-One consultant) had a party at her house to show us their products. Friends + wine + bags and accessories? Yes, please.
She showed us a bunch of really cute and functional totes, purses and other gifts (I wanted all of them!), but as soon as she brought out the All Pro Tote, I knew I had to have it.
I am a sucker for bags with lots of pockets and bells and whistles, and trust me, this one has it.
There’s a hidden — and most important, separate — side pocket for your sneakers, which is genius, especially if you run outside and your shoes are all muddy and dirty. I’m also a fan of the mesh side pocket for a water bottle (or your wet, post-shower flip flops), and the external “sleeve” is perfect for sliding a rolled up towel or yoga mat.
And various inside pockets help you keep track of your jewelry, keys, lock, IDs, etc.
The bag is also super cute, so I’m not embarrassed to be seen lugging it around work or through the office.
While I was at Gina’s party, I also grabbed some other Thirty-One goodies, including a lunch bag, the large utility tote (which I currently keep in my trunk for all of the kids’ stuff and will come in handy at the beach this summer) and the organizing utility tote (which has been a godsend for swim class and will transition to the perfect beach bag).
Do you love this gym bag as much as me? Then you have to act fast because I’m told it’s only going to be available during the month of April!! Eeek! But it’s also part of Thirty-One’s monthly special, so if you spend $35 on other products (which is soooo easy to do since their stuff is so cute), you can buy the bag for only $25 (it normally retails for $80!).
Go online and check it out for yourself and email me and I can put you in touch with my friend Gina, who knows everything about these products and can help you with your order 😉
But don’t worry, I’m looking out for you, because one lucky KMS reader is also going to win their own All Pro Tote! Just complete the entry form below … but keep in mind this is a quick one! This giveaway ends Tuesday, April 15 (12:00am ET). Good luck!
Disclaimer: I received a complementary All Pro Tote to facilitate my review, but all opinions are my own (and I purchased the other products myself).

I love all those pockets! And they are a great brand with a great reputation. I really like how it’s all organized so you can get what you need quickly without filing in one ginormous pocket.

I was doing some bag research and stumbled on this. Very nice, certainly does looks like an excellent bag to take to the beach! Personally, I have a Lug Puddle Jumper Bag that I use for the gym – absolutely love it.
