I'm not going to lie. I hate scales and the whole weighing-in process. But Fitbit's NEW Aria Scale ($129.95) trumps all scales because not only does it recognize you and every person in your household from each other, but it taps into your home's Wi-Fi to upload and graph your progress...or perhaps your downward spiral, like mine after Thanksgiving.

The Aria sends your info including your body fat % to your personal account on Fitbit.com which you can log into without anyone knowing your business. There's also a free iphone app in case you want to obsess over how much weight you lost for the New Year. Because that's one of your resolutions, right?

Normal or Not?

Before I met them, I'd never guess that Karena and Katrina from Tone It Up would be anything close to normal. For crying out loud (as my Grandma would say), they're beach babes! They probably walk down the street with an entourage of hecklers and panty-shot prone photographers. Could these girls, featured in countless magazines and known online globally as the Tone It Up Girls, really be normal?

That's what I wanted to find out because word on the fitness scene was that Bravo had been scouting them for a show. Luckily, I got to meet and hang with Karena and Katrina over the summer and find out more about their journey, including how they found each other and where they're going next. I interviewed them on the red carpet at Pedal On The Pier in Santa Monica...

...and then spent a weekend with them as part of Oakley Women's Perform Beautifully experience in Napa Valley, California.

Meet the sports bra that feels light as a feather and seamless against your skin. It's from Naked Sports Gear ($42). Even more than the bra's lightweight construction, I'm loving the color transparency. You'll feel naked enough to streak through the gym! Just make sure you're covered up on the bottom to avoid a #TotalGymFail.

Calling all Bedazzlers! Jewel studded sweatshirts are all the rage. Buy one from J.Crew, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Stella McCartney for adidas, or better yet...MAKE YOUR OWN! Studded pullover sweatshirts are the newest way to dress up your fit look and transition to a post-fitness scene. Shoot for a sweatshirt that's athletic gray and feels worn-in already, because these sweatshirts are dry clean only.

NatureBox is changing the face of snacking by showing up at your door once a month filled with nutritious, protein-rich treats that you don't have to feel guilty about. There's even an element of surprise because the nutritionists who curate the boxes don't want you to get bored, so every month they change things up.

It's the perfect gift for fitness foodies (who turn their noses at energy bars) and the best way to clean up a junk-food lover's act. The only downside is you might fall in love with snacks you'll never see again, like the cinnamon coated almonds that still make my stomach growl every time I think of them. NatureBox comes in subscriptions of 3, 6, and 12 months starting at $60 for 3 months.

I'm obsessed with my Loop Mummy ($25) because not only is it the coolest iPhone case I've ever owned, but it's made for fitness people who like to keep their iPhone handy (meaning: on them at all times). If you like to power walk or run with your iPhone, the Mummy's no-slip-grip is for you. It even holds cash & credit cards. Comes in both girl and boy colors!
