Design Your Own Yoga Mat

Maybe your yoga mat is worn out and you need a new one. Or maybe it's just plain uninspiring. Either way, it might be time to start fresh by designing your own mat.

FItSugar recommends you visit yogamatic.com, where you can upload a photo or image onto a 100-percent biodegradable foam mat. A portion of what you pay will go to Global Green, a non-profit focused on preventing climate change, which makes this purchase a great way to benefit both the planet and your body. A clever gift idea, too.

And if yoga mats are your thing, check out this G2 version -- stretches are printed right on mat so you'll never forget how your bod should bend.

When you're done creating your own yoga mat, try making your own fragrant lavender bottles for a relaxing scent in any room of your house.
