Izzy & Liv "Unstoppable Brown Sugar Babe" Tank - Listed Value $22.00
There is no better way to get motivated than this colorful Izzy & Liv "Unstoppable Brown Sugar Babe" Tank. A perfect comfortable fit, this tank gives me serious 80s vibes with the bright color and neon yellow and pink lettering. I love the text, boldly stating, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop." This is how I wish I felt during all my workouts. Instead, I'm more like, "I'm Dying, Need a Snack." Made out of 100% cotton, this tank is lightweight, breathable, and perfect for an at-home workout or yoga in the park.

Izzy & Liv "Relax, Relate, Hydrate " Glass Water Bottle - Listed Value $15.00
I absolutely love reusable cups and water bottles. This Izzy & Liv "Relax, Relate, Hydrate" Glass Water Bottle is perfect for stepping up my hydration game. My absolute favorite part of this trendy bottle is the the wristlet on top of the wooden bamboo cap. It's ideal for going on a walk or heading out to yoga in the park. You just hang it around your wrist, and you basically have hand-free hydration. The glass is thick and durable. The design is eye-catching and the bamboo cap gives it a whole vibe. Subscribers could have received one of four patterns: Magical Maven, Fearless Queen, Tribal Love, or Brown Sugar Babe. I received Magical Maven, and I have to say, I absolutely love it.

Izzy & Liv "It's Gettin' Hot In Here" Gym Towel - Listed Value $15.00
Your girl is out here being a classy lady, but whenever I'm working out, I sweat like a 300-pound linebacker. It's downright nasty. I couldn't be happier to receive this Izzy & Liv "It's Gettin' Hot in Here" Gym Towel. It's 15-inches by 25-inches and made of microfiber, so it's super absorbent to soak up all the glisten excreting from your forehead. I absolutely love the tribal pattern and the bright purple color. This towel definitely will bring personality to your workout. Subscribers could have received one of four prints: Caution Queen, Fearless Culture Queen, Tribal Love (Lavender), or Tribal Love (White). I received Tribal Love (Lavender).

Izzy & Liv "Drop The Beat" Wireless V5.0 Earbuds - Listed Value $30.00
Yes, yes, and yes! This is what I like to see. I LOVE the inclusion of any gadgets or tech devices in lifestyle boxes. Tech makes up so much of our lifestyle in the modern world, so it only makes sense that it would be included, and Izzy & Liv "Drop the Beat" Wireless V5.0 Earbuds. Not only do they come in cute, vibrant designs, but also the earbud is very comfortable in your ear and the sound quality, while not AirPods, is very, very good. The earbuds connected effortlessly with both my iPhone and my laptop. I've really been enjoying this product and will definitely be keeping these earbuds on my nightstand for when I want to watch something on my laptop or listen to music at night without awakening anyone else in the house. These earbuds have three hours of listening time and a built-in charging bin. They are Android and iOS compatible. Subscribers could have received one or four designs: Blurred Lines, Brown Sugar Babe, Magical, or Fearless. I received Brown Sugar Babe.

Izzy & Liv "Stretch It Out" Crop Yoga Leggings - Listed Value $30.00
These Izzy & Liv "Stretch It Out" Crop Yoga Leggings are a comfy polyester and spandex combo with a nifty pocket on either side. If you're like me, you're always on the hunt for comfortable clothing WITH pockets. These leggings are perfect for lounging around the house or yoga. They don't have the super tight compression that high-impact exercise leggings have, so it is incredibly comfy to lounge around in them. They're super stretchy and there's no tight elastic band digging into your stomach, making you feel "muffin-like." Subscribers could have received one of six prints: Blurred Lines, Brown Sugar Fit, Magical, Tribal Love (Pink), Tribal Love (White), or Tribal Love (Mint). I received Tribal Love (Pink), and I'm super excited that they match my "Unstoppable Brown Sugar Babe" tank.

Izzy & Liv "Fitness Is Not a Game" Exercise Playing Cards - Listed Value $15.00
Dual-purpose, these Izzy & Liv "Fitness Is Not a Game" Exercise Playing Cards double as a way to get your booty working or to play a round of poker, spades, bidwhist, and gin. Each deck includes 52 cards and what do you know, two jokers. So, you can crush your fitness goals in the morning and have a boozy girls' game night in the evening. Each card has an exercise depicted visually, as well as detailed with text, so you can build a workout for yourself or learn new exercises if you don't happen to know all 52.
The Verdict: I am super pumped about this month's Brown Sugar Box. I'm that gal who's always out here "workin' on my fitness". Everything in this box is useful and goes perfectly with the fitness theme. I love the wireless earbuds! I think that's an amazing tech product to include in the box. The "Unstoppable Brown Sugar Babe" Tank is super comfy and I find the design motivational. It also matches the "Stretch It Out" Crop Yoga Leggings, also included in the box, that take "comfortable" and level it up. I'm also excited that a reusable glass water bottle and gym towel were included in this month's box. I love the design and durability of the water bottle and the style of the towel. The "Fitness Is Not a Game" Exercise Playing Cards go perfectly with everything else in the box. Not only can you dress to workout, have your music, your hydration, and dab off your sweaty glisten, but you can also learn new exercises and plan your own workout, then bust out into a game of gin with this unique deck of cards. With a retail value of $142, this month's Brown Sugar Box definitely gives subscribers their money's worth, as well as a ton of motivation to move more and get healthier, even if we have to do it at home right now.
