These Kickstarter Leggings Hold Your Water Bottle While You Work Out

Whether you’re into morning workouts, outside workouts or even dance-based workouts like the fierce Teyana Taylor from Kanye’s “Fade,” one issue everyone has is where to stash your stuff while you’re moving your bod. If you don’t happen to have a locker nearby to keep your valuables safe and/or like to take your phone along with you to provide music and keep in touch with your peeps at all times, then you’ll definitely want to know about ÊTRE. A new activewear brand, ÊTRE provides the perfect pieces to let you work out in style while secretly, snugly and easily storing all of your needed items.

“Never drop your phone, lose your keys, stash money in your underwear or go thirsty while working out. Ever again,” the brand promises (does the mental image of peeps working out with stuff stashed in their undies crack anyone else up?). But seriously, ÊTRE — French for “to be” —  by Victor Legend offers these specially designed bottoms for both men and women. The super cool secret? The waistband!

Inside the waistband of these stylish shorts, leggings and track pants is room for your phone, wallet, cards, cash, keys (or really, whatever bits you want to take along) and even a spot for your water bottle. Yes, you can carry a jug of water in your waist band. No excuse for dehydration now!

The band is also meant to ensure no bounce from the items tucked away and therefore no interference to your workout. ÊTRE is currently in the Kickstarter stage and, though the line is a tad limited when it comes to variety, for a pledge of $80, you can be first in line to nab your very own raison d’être.

The problem with workout clothes is that you can't just re-wear them the same way you re-wore that top from two days ago. You just sweat your butt off, and they stink. It's safe to say, once you wear a workout set, just throw them in the wash. But what if the amount of times you workout does not correlate with laundry day? It's safe to say you need to expand your workout wardrobe. If you want to avoid spending hundreds of dollars, but still want a variety of sets... to Amazon we go! Here are 12 dependable workout sets to add to your exercise wardrobe.

Amazon

Colleen Hoover stans, listen up! While the announcement that Anne Hathaway would lead CoHo's Verity movie broke the Brit + Co group chat, it has nothing on the announcement that was made today: she'll be joined by the one and only Dakota Johnson. And we freaked out. Dakota is a master at intrigue and suspense, and I can't think of anyone else who'd be able to draw us into the story like she will.

Verity follows it-girl author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) and her husband Jeremy, who hire Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson) to finish the remaining books in Verity's series. But as Lowen starts to take a closer look at their lives, she comes to the horrifying realization that not all is as it seems. While It Ends With Us is Colleen Hoover's most popular and widely-known title, Verity is regarded as one of the wildest — and I'm sure the movie is going to be the same.

You already know Anne Hathaway, meet the rest of the Verity cast before the movie premieres!

The actress is also starring in Celine Song's upcoming rom-com Materialists, and told Brit + Co just how much she loved working with "big idiots" Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans.

3. Josh Hartnett as Jeremy Crawford

We'll also see Trap's Josh Hartnett as Jeremy Crawford, Verity's husband.

The Verity movie isn't the only Colleen Hoover book adaptation in the works! Read up on the latest news on Regretting You, starring Allison Williams and McKenna Grace.

I don't spend my whole life in workout clothes, so its hard to justify spending $90 on a single sports bra. But, I still want cute workout clothes that are good quality and provide great support. So, I did some digging on Amazon and found 8 sports bras that do just that... without the massive price tag.

Amazon

Champion Sports Bra

This sports bra is the best solution for the bustier girlies that need extra support when working out! Champion has always provided quality and comfort when it comes to women's sportswear, so I am not surprised by the thousands of positive things customers have to say about this bra! It's designed with adjustable cushioned straps, cup support, and fairly tight compression.

This bra is currently available for $36 (was $48) in sizes all the way up to 42DDD.

Additionally, it literally comes in any color under the sun (39 different ones, to be exact) for only $26.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives totally dominated the reality TV space in 2024 — and season 2 is will be here before you know it. The show premiered on the Hulu on September 6, and quickly became the year's most-watched unscripted season premiere. Well, MomTok watchers: drop everything (except your phones) because Taylor Frankie Paul and Whitney Leavitt just teased a crazy season 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Here's what Taylor Frankie Paul and Whitney Leavitt said about The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2.

Taylor Frankie Paul & Whitney Leavitt say season 2 is "better" than the first.

"With the second season, you're having conversations constantly with your peers and sitting in your interviews or confessionals where they're constantly asking you questions about yourself and about a scenario. It can be very therapeutic," Whitney Leavitt tells People.

Taylor Frankie Paul admits she has some nerves around filming season 2, considering they're not in total creative control. "It's exciting but I guess I'm always a bit nervous," she says. "We're used to making content that we can control and edit and we don't have control with this. It's nerve-wracking going into it knowing that what happens isn't exactly how the edit might make it look."

"But I do think this one is going to be just as good, if not better, than our first season," she continues. "So far, I think everything has been so fun and entertaining to experience for myself."

And one detail we'll see from both ladies in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 are their new babies! Taylor Frankie Paul had her third baby Ever on March 19, 2024, and Whitney Leavitt gave birth to her third baby Billy on October 24, 2024.

"It was a beautiful moment that you'll see more of in season 2. I'm so thankful for him," Taylor says.

And they're still getting used to their 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' fame!

Despite their cult followings on social media, both women admit they're still getting used to their fame in the TV space, and how wildly successful the first season was. Taylor says she's "at a loss for words sometimes."

"I remember thinking, 'This will do okay. It should do well, given that we all have a story that people haven't heard about, and all of us do have a following," she adds. "I didn't know the extent of how well it was going to do, so it was shocking as it happened."

And it wouldn't be a show about MomTok without some surprising DM's! "The people that are in your messages reaching out, just unexpected people that you have fangirled over, we've all fangirled over," Taylor continues. "So that was really cool to see. And sometimes I just forget that people are out there watching it. It's a nationwide thing. To this day, I still don't think I even realize it, to be honest."

Maybe season 2 will reveal who's sliding in their DM's. 👀

Have you seen all of this month's incredible December TV shows? They make for the perfect weekend watch.

If there’s one recipe you 100 percent need to crank out some seriously festive Christmas dessert ideas, it’s the classic, basic sugar cookie. Some of the most intricately ordained, masterpiece cookies (like pink Christmas decorations, jolly reindeer, and llamas) begin with a simple foundation. Let’s start with this recipe we love for a vanilla-bean-speckled version that’s sure to hold its own under all that royal icing.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (room temperature + cubed)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups flour

Directions

Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add vanilla bean and egg. Mix until just incorporated. Stop mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.

Gradually add flour (you may not need the full three cups), and mix until dough forms and pulls away from the bowl. Divide dough into two even discs and wrap in cling wrap, then refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.

When ready to roll dough, pre-heat oven to 350°F and line baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Using a rolling pin, roll cookie dough between two pieces of parchment paper to 1/4-inch in thickness, and use cookie cutters to cut out cookie shapes.

Transfer cookies to a baking tray using a lightly floured spatula. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before baking.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or when edges begin to brown. The time will be dependent on size and thickness of cookies.

Allow to cool on tray until warm to touch, then transfer onto a wire cooling rackbefore decorating.

Decorate your easy Christmas cookies to you and your family's liking!
