Oijoi! Loistava lainaus!
ReplyDeleteJa mun lista näyttää samanlaiselta, tosin usein kassissa on myös jonkin muun lajin treenivermeet ja joskus cd-soitin. Ja ehkä enemmän lämppäreitä kun oon vilukissa... :P
Iloista ja antoisaa tuntia!
Saara, I´ve seen the size of your dance bag! I´ve had smaller bags when travelling abroad ;) But then again, I´m not taking 3 classes per evening AND teaching too. Yeah, and the colder it gets, the more stuff I need. Also, I forgot to mention the small rubber pilates ball (to release tension under the foot,) and my wash-bag (hair brush, shower gel, moisturizer, etc..).
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks, class was absolutely awesome!
