From Workout to Errands in Under 5 Minutes
Running to running errands. Who else went to the grocery store in their gym clothes today?
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Can I get an amen from my fellow busy moms? Balancing mom life while trying to exercise and Do. All. Of. The. Things., it’s exhausting. And sometimes we sacrifice a lot – like a shower, a good hair day and yup, stylish clothes. But do we have to? Just because we’re busy moms, doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice style. Go from Workout to Errands in Under 5 Minutes with these 5 easy tips!
Layer with a Jacket
Oh, that backside sweat! The biggest giveaway that I went from workout to errands is the sweat stains on my workout clothes. GROSS. No one wants to deal with that walking behind me at the grocery store. Add a fitted jacket that covers the backside to keep you in style while hiding the workout evidence. Change up your jacket with pattern and texture to add interest – like leather or denim!
Add an Accessory or Two
Accessories are my jam! Grab and go with your favorite accessories to glam up your workout wear and have you feeling confident in your workout to errands look. Some of my favorites include:
- Baseball cap to cover the workout hair
- Colorful scarf to cover the chest sweat
- Big earrings to draw the eye up
- Change out workout sneakers for more stylish ones
Clear Out Stinky Workout Odors
I don’t know about you, but I SMELL after a workout. And it’s not just my body – but the smell permeates through my gym clothes and my sneakers. It’s the WORST! But let’s face it, running into the grocery store after a workout is no longer just a run in and out. We see people we know. We talk about school, weather, kids…and the whole time we’re thinking “OMGoodness, can they smell me?”
It’s a horrible mind game, especially when I know that I stink. Body sprays only cover up the smells…sometimes. I need something stronger that will actually eliminate workout odor. Don’t let the gym aroma linger and ruin your confidence, even as a busy mom! One of my best workout to errands tips? If it’s fabric, Febreze it! I’m saying goodbye to my stinky workout aroma for good with Febreze Fabric Refresher. A quick spray on my gym clothes, sneakers, and gear before I head out the door and I’m set! Febreze Fabric Refresher with OdorClear™ Technology tackles even the toughest gym smells and eliminates them by:
- seeking out tough odors
- cleaning them away by deactivating the odors and replacing them with a light fresh scent!
I love that Febreze doesn’t cover up the smelly odors, but instead works quickly to remove them. And the light scents don’t overpower my nose. Fresh, clean and confident to step out from workout to errands, Febreze is my go-to odor eraser at home, and on-the-go!
Upgrade Your Gym Bag
Double duty, multi-tasking and staying in style! There’s no need to drag an ugly gym bag while you get all of your busy mom tasks done. Upgrade for something more stylish that can transition easily from gym bag to a fabulous big purse. I love a good backpack purse – because sometimes you need two hands while tackling those errands! Add a Febreze Fabric To Go Refresher in your gym bag to keep your bag smelling fresh at all times too.
Don’t Forget the Finishing Touches
It’s all in the presentation! Don’t forget the finishing touches before you head out for your busy day. Fresh deodorant, a dab of lip gloss and a quick makeup wipe sweep across my face and I’m ready to hit the town and my 50 million errands.
No excuses, busy moms! We can workout, get our errands done and still feel fabulous while we do them all! And with these tips and my secret odor eliminator – Febreze Fabric Refresher to keep stinky gym smells away, I can step out with confidence and style. And besides, isn’t athleisure a big fashion trend right now? Let’s go with that.

Christie,
You’re an inspiration to so many! I’m so crazy glad I found your blog!! You are ‘wow’ but I don’t expect you to always have to wow!
I’m a mom of 3 grown daughter’s, the oldest daughter married with 2 girls and she’s dealing with depression and anxiety. It runs in our family. After years of battling it and being on medication she’s now seeing a psychologist for treatment! I’m so thankful she’s reaching out but she feels stigmatized for having a mental health problem and it pains me that that’s what kept her, for years, from seeking help! I hope other’s who are dealing with any kind of mental health issue will seek help now and not later! Xoxo
