My Story

Fitness has always been a big deal in my life. No seriously, a BIG deal. 

Growing up, my parents always wanted me involved in some sort of team sport or physical activity. I started in dance, then gymnastics, and then found my groove in volleyball. They stressed the importance of exercise and health but mostly the lessons learned when you are working toward a common goal with a group of people - like winning a game!

Looking back, I am grateful for a number of reasons my parents had me in sports…maybe not the two-a-day volleyball practices…but even THAT made me who I am today.

This especially came into play when I got to college and was no longer involved in a dedicated sport. I had begun to struggle with mental health issues, for separate reasons, but pretty quickly began to see a therapist. One of the things she recommended to me was to begin prioritizing daily physical activity again. And this made a BIG difference (surprise, surprise).

Six years later, and daily exercise - whether it be a long walk or an intense strength training workout - is still a priority in my life. And I find a lot of joy in it!

Enter: Glitter & Sweat :) As I have joined and been apart of different gyms, it’s always been fun to have cute workout clothes - you KNOW it makes for a better workout!! So after a few months of thinking about it, I decided I wanted to contribute to the wonderful world of athletic apparel and design some tops that not only look cute but can be encouraging to the person next to you.

Each of these phrases and designs are things I personally would love to see on a person biking, doing yoga or running on the treadmill next to me…or even out eating brunch :)

I hope you they keep you motivated and most of all, keep you MOVING! Glitter, girl.
