You’ve heard us say it—and you may have even purchased our shirts in the LYT store. Posture F*cking Matters. Now I’m not sure how you could be a LYT lover and not have heard of the Triple S, but just in case, I’m going to break it down for you. 🙂 Triple S is a
Today we’re going to talk about SWEAT. Ewww, gross, right? NO! We love to sweat in LYT! Have you ever wondered why we sweat? What is the science behind perspiration?
