It’s genetic. Really. The “flabby arms syndrome”, as my sisters call it, runs in the family. No matter what exercises I incorporate in my fitness workouts, I still can’t seem to get rid of the excess inches around my arms.

So what is the point of having a sexy body with super nice abs, butt ….. and flabby arms?

Well, sometime during the summer, one of my girlfriends joined Avon as an independent sales representative. If it wasn’t for her trying to sell me items “I don’t need” off one of her catalogs, I probably wouldn’t have bought what has come to be one of the best exercise gadgets for toning my arms.

In this season of giving, the refillable Athena™ Sport Bottle is the perfect stocking stuffer that gives back in more ways than one. Available for purchase at www.athenawater.org, the reusable bottle provides a stylish and environmentally-friendly option for staying hydrated on the go, and 100% of the profits will be donated to crucial women’s cancer research.

Offered by Seattle-based non-profit Athena Partners®, the bottle bears a prominent pink ribbon and the words “GIVE 100%” to reflect the organization’s approach to life and commitment to making a difference in the fight against cancer. The 24-ounce bottle is available in pink or blue and features elegant ergonomically curved sides, is dishwasher safe, and includes a drink-through lid to allow for a straw or to go without.
