Lovelies,
Do you ever feel like you are always on the go? I know I do and sometimes life can just feel so hectic! I decided I wanted to share with you my favorite go-to items I try have with me on a daily bases. I am constantly in my car traveling through California and sometimes eating can even become a time restraint. I love Cliff and GFB bar's for when I have those days I can’t stop and enjoy a whole meal. They give me just the right amount of protein, fiber and carbs to help me keep going without feeling fatigue. My two absolute favorite flavors are Cliff bars peanut butter banana and The GFB coconut cashew crunch. Not only can eating be something we sometimes forget to do or feel like we don’t have time for, but hydrating ourselves sometimes gets neglected. I love water and I would like to think I drink a good amount of it a day, but sometimes when I am constantly moving I feel like I need more than usual. Coconut water is a great way to hydrate on top of drinking water. There are so many coconut waters out there and finding the right one sometimes can seem difficult or confusing as to why they range so much from cans to bottles to pulp to no pulp… My favorite coconut water is Harmless Harvest for the exact reason of what it states in their name “Harmless” it’s one of the most purest coconut water's out there! They use organic Thai coconuts and don’t add any preservatives or pasteurize it. It’s also a pinkish purple color from the natural antioxidants inside it which make it a pretty and a refreshing drink. They have small bottles as well as medium and carton size. The small is a perfect addition for my busy lifestyle and something I can throw in my bag for the road. Since this coconut water is so pure it must be refrigerated and has a expiration date of three months per packaging date. It’s more refreshing cold anyway and I feel it hydrating me that must faster when it’s chilled.
Another drink I wanted to share with you is TheBu Kombucha’s Lemon Ginseng. It’s my mid day pick me up and one of the most naturalist kombuchas you can buy at the store they use all organic teas and no added fruit juice which is super rare for most kombuchas. The Ginseng gives me natural energy without a crash. I love coffee, but I do feel the crash if I don’t stick with coffee throughout my busy days. That's where my Kombucha comes in and also makes me feel better throughout the rest of the day and my gut always thanks me after a bottle.
Another great snack I try to always have with me is Justin's peanut butter pouches and Barney butter chocolate almond butter. They give me a great source of protein in a small slick pouch that is convenient to add to my favorite fruit, toast or just to eat out of the pouch. Besides food I also wanted to share with you some items I always have with me in my purse. Between all the things that make my day busy having a charged phone battery can sometimes be a issue when I am constantly using Waze to get around and streaming music all day. Having a portable charger is a definite must for me! No need to spend the extra cash on one to do the exact same thing a $5 one from Target. Mine has a super cute flower design and silck body make it fit easily in my purse, You can find them in there dollar and good deal section towards the front of the store. Or what I call it my guilty pleasure of Target and the one area I can’t resist every visit!
No matter what the weather is or season my lips are in need of a moisturizer. I love Eos and I am excited that they changed the shape of their lip balm to be a slimmer design that fits easier in my purse or pants. I have been using Eos for years and it’s always made my lips feel and look their very best. I started using their lotion and I find that it moisturizes and nourishes my hands just as great as their lip balm. It also is in a super slim and slick bottle that is easy to carry and have accessible.
So throughout my day I am talking with many different people and having fresh breath is a necessity. I like using Myco Sheild peppermint spray. It combines five powerful polypore mushroom species: Agarikon, Red Reishi, Chaga, Birch Polypore and Turkey Tail. These ingredients work to support a natural immunity. I use it 2-3 times a day and sometimes more during flu season to be extra cautious.
I hope iv'e encouraged you to check out some of the products iv'e mentioned above. No matter how busy life can get taking care of yourself should always be your biggest priority. When you take time to take care of yourself life doesn't seem so hectic or crazy. It's about a good balance overall and I hope no matter what life brings, you enjoy it.
I hope you have a lovely week!
xoxo Shaunté
