sweat it out { manduka eQua plus mat towel giveaway! }
Today’s yogic words of truth: there’s nothing worse than a sweat-slick mat. When we practice, we’re looking for stay-put-ness, not slip-n-slideroo. What’s more, as a germaphobe, the idea of skedaddling in my own sweat makes me gag. What’s a ‘gini to do? Get a kick-ass towel, that’s what!
I’m giving one lucky winner a Manduka eQua Plus Mat Towel in the color of their choice. Wooty! YIFY shout out to the homies @ Manduka for hooking us up!
Why it rocks:
- The texture is just right — soft like buttah, absorbent, with mean staying power.
- It’s made of recycled coconut shells! How uberly cool is that?! The mixture of coconut and carbon fibers wicks away moisture and whisks away smelliness.
- Traction, traction, traction.
- Doubles as an actual towel. Or a cape, which is what I can be found using mine for. I have worlds to save, you know.
- So many gorgeous colors to choose from!
Also, Manduka is a wonderful company. One glance at their homepage and you’ll want to stay a while. I always find something new and cool to look at/read/check out.
