The contents of most gym bags are, clothing sizes aside, pretty interchangeable. Everyone has the standards: Shoes, shorts, socks, headphones, etc. The other thing most gym bags have in common is that their contents rarely, if ever, get updated. Sure, you switch up your T-shirts now and...
You’re in the shower, and everything’s splendid: The water’s warm, the scent’s uplifting and you’re belting out your favorite showertime tune. But then, a stray drop of shampoo lands in your eye, feeling like the red-hot soapy trident of Satan himself. What makes this stuff hurt so...
