Beating The Mid-Day Slump
Beauty Brite Disclosure

If you are anything like me, mid-day is the most exhausting time of day. Morning motivation has slipped away, and it feels like the afternoon is just crawling ever so slowly by. So I wanted to share with you some great new products to help bring you back from that wave of exhaustion.

Mid-Day Malfunction!

As a mom of four someday’s, I just forget to make sure that I take care of myself. Or I’m so busy feeding everyone else, half the day goes by and I realize that I’m starving. So I started looking for items that help with the mid-day run down and keep me feeling healthy. That’s when I discovered a company called Just Ingredients. A company that believes that real ingredients are what matters most.

Flavored Water

I’ll be the first to admit that I struggle with drinking as much water as I should. By adding their Flavored Water, I am a little closer to meeting my daily water goal. I’ve tried a couple of different flavors and my favorite is definitely the Strawberry Limeade followed by Tropical Paradise.

When it’s mid-day I don’t always have much time to create a meal, especially if I’m at work. So finding a product that leaves me feeling full and empowered is what I look for and that’s where the Protein Powder pack comes into play. My favorite so far that I’ve tried is the Vanilla Bean Protein Powder. With a creamy taste and no artificial sweeteners, this powder leaves me ready to face the day without feeling hungry. These powders come in so many amazing flavors, from Snickerdoodle to Creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate.

Protein Powder

Just Ingredients even offer some great skin care products from an Organic Face Serum Oil that helps to fight those signs of aging. This Face Serum helps balance your skin no matter if it’s dry or on the oily side like mine. Just Ingredients also have some amazing lip balm choices. My favorite Lip Balm is Fresh Mint. With 100% natural ingredients this lip balm leaves the sensitive skin of your lips feeling soft and protected from the elements with a SPF 14 protection level.

Skin Care

All and all as a busy mom and full-time employee, Just Ingredients is a company that works to help better my days. When natural products leave me feeling full of energy during that mid-day slump, and it’s not just that temporary boost. I don’t have to worry about putting their products in or on my body, I know exactly what’s inside them and it is the very best products that I can choose.

Add a pop of color and spunk to your life with two awesome products!

I am excited to replace my favorite water bottle. My favorite one can only be used at home because the water spout is not covered when not in use. My new favorite water bottle is now the Owala FreeSip water bottle! I chose the Owala FreeSip in Hyper Flamingo and Smooshed Blueberry.

Ready To Kick Into Gear

I had no idea how much I was ready for a new year, a fresh start! Since the novel Coronavirus hit, we have not been walking or getting outside for months! Either it was too hot over the summer or too cold in the winter! As for myself, I did supplement with indoor workouts! However, things have changed. One of my machines broke and I needed a change to my fitness routine. It is time to change it up! We are ready to kick into gear!

I am so excited to change up our routine. My son and I now walk around the park a minimum of one mile. Each day, I have been changing it up to where we easily walk 1 to 3 miles each day. I am purposely changing it up so he doesn’t get into a set routine and won’t be open to change. He loves his routine.

Boost Your Fitness With Resistance

Back in February, I saw an ad on Facebook for a squat machine. Right away it caught my eye because it looked silly, but when I took a closer look, I realized I could really use it in my home! I bought it on a whim within 20 minutes of seeing the ad. I opted not to get the resistance bands, weighted belt, and any other accessories. I figured I could worry about that once I got the machine and found alternatives. Let’s look at how you can boost your fitness with resistance, especially when stuck in quarantine.

It’s crazy to look back at how much our world has changed in the last few months. I am thankful I bought the machine as it is helping me to stay on track with my health and fitness.

Workout, Replenish, Repeat!

Beauty Brite Disclosure

It is safe to say that I am the queen of yo-yo dieting & failing to stick to a workout routine. I have tried all the fad diets and weight loss pills with minimal success and no real long lasting results. Now that 40 is right around the corner, and I dont have the greatest health, I needed to take myself seriously and start holding myself accountable.

The last 6 months I have changed much of what I eat and increased my physical activity. I began to keep it very simple with wholesome foods and used simple equipment to help make working out enjoyable. 42 pounds later (YAY!) I am ready to find my strength with weight training, and I couldn’t be more excited.
