Whenever you see those skin care adverts on tv, the person always washes face with a little bit of cleanser before splashing water into their face (normally whilst smiling) with little consideration for their clothes or partner trying to brush their teeth behind them.

To top it off: the stress of it all can render your hard work null and void.

My gym buddy and I meet most evenings at the gym: I arrive in my gym gear with nothing more than a bottle of water and a towel whereas my friend comes straight from work, although you could be forgiven for thinking she just jumped off a long-haul flight by the number of bags she brings. The issue she faces is that she needs carry both her work stuff and gym gear without either coming into contact on the way home. Neither sweaty gym shoes nor laptop should ever know the other exists!
