StridersEdge have added antibacterial features to their workout wear, so it
wicks away sweat, bacteria and smells – meaning you can wear your running gear

Move over, Draw Something. The latest app
does more than boost your creative skills – it helps you drop a dress size,
too. Zombies Run! $ 9, is an interactive app (for iPhone and Android) that puts
you at the centre of a zombie apocalypse (stay with us). To survive, you have

Stylish and snug, it’s no wonder they’ve been trending on Twitter.

‘panic button’ that plays your power song on cue when you’re flagging. Genius!

no real need for, but just want to have for some reason
