When you work out a lot (or just have a lot of muscle pain), your bag & medicine cabinet are not really the stuff perfect Instagrams are made of. Am I right? One of my essentials for easing sore muscles are Salonpas analgesic pads. We had them in the house all the time when I was growing up, and they've stuck with me ever since. Whenever I had a sore shoulder or back, they really hit the spot!

Salonpas recently sent me their full product suite, including the brand new Pin Relieving Patch. You already know these will be coming in very handy after a CrossFit workout or a long day stationary at work.

Thank you Salonpas! Get a sample at www.salonpassample.com.
