Happy Hydration! EcoJarz Review & Giveaway

It’s Weigh In Wednesday.
and I weigh the exact same as I did last week: 190.
Which is great, considering my weekend was like a non stop all you can eat buffet.
but i’m not letting a no-loss week steal my thunder. I’m focusing on things I can do to make next week different.

Like Hydration!

When it comes to health and weight loss the one thing we hear constantly is how we should be drinking water.  But if we are honest, we usually don’t drink enough water despite the fact that we know we should. I find that I just simply forget. I needed something to help remind/motivate me to drink my water! Enter the Plant Nanny App!

I bought this app with my own money after seeing some other people post about it on facebook and instagram. Basically it helps you determine how much water you should be drinking and it reminds you throughout the day to drink them. If you don’t record that you drank it your poor little plant starts to wither away. As you keep hitting your water goals your plant grows. This totally reminded me of a Tomagotchi or Nano Pet! I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and I actually have a little plant garden of all the plants I’ve raised so far.

So cute, right? This app has helped me hit my water intake nearly every day for the past few weeks. And I feel great!

You know what else helps me drink more water? Awesome cups to drink out of. Enter: EcoJarz

This was another awesome product that I found thanks to Instagram (Do you follow me? I’m @courtnorm) and I totally loved the idea of this. So instead of drinking from a plastic water bottle this handy dandy little contraption turns a mason jar into a to go cup! I received the regular mouth lid in both the stainless steel and silicone, as well as the regular stainless steel straws, the smoothie straws, and a straw cleaner. They just recently came out with the wide mouth version of the lids too!

I made a smoothie and loved having it in my mason jar with my protein waffles. mmm.

I use it for drinking water with my meals, as well as at my desk. I try to keep a jar of water chilled in the fridge for when I need a refill and just switch out the lid.

I love that this takes something so common, like the mason jar, and makes it super useful. No more disposible water bottles and no plastic bottles that contain BPA or Phthalates, EcoJarz is safe for you and good for the environment!

And remember how I told you this week would be filled with fun and giveaways? Well we are still going strong! The Inner Strength Apparel and Bestowed Box giveaways are still open… but I’ve got another! One of you will get to win your own EcoJarz Lid!

Bestowed Box Review & Giveaway

When I told you guys this would be a fun week of giveaways I wasn’t lying! Yesterday’s Inner Strength Apparel Giveaway is still going on, so be sure to check it out! Today I’m going to share with you about a fun new subscription service called Bestowed Box.

bestowedboxgiveaway

Bestowed Box was started by nationally recognized nutritionist and author Heather Bauer. There are tons of subscription services out there, but this one is different. Rather than just throw a bunch of stuff in a box and call it a day, each month Heather and her team of experts hand select different health product samples to include. The box is shipped right to your door. I was SO excited when mine arrived.

When I opened it I was probably most excited about the Suncups. They barely lasted long enough for me to take a picture.

Dark Chocolate + Sun Butter = WINNING

The box came with a explanation of what all was included as well as tips for using them.

I truly love the idea of this kind of subscription box because it introduces you to products you may not have known about otherwise. I can tell you for sure that I will be on the lookout for SunButter cups now when I want a sweet treat!

One lucky winner is going to win a free month of Bestowed Box! But if you can’t wait that long, you can get $5 off your order by using the code 5OFFBSTOWED01 at check out!

Inner Strength Apparel Review and Giveaway

This is going to be a fun week! I’ve got a whole slew of reviews and giveaways to share with you! Something about finding new fitness gear makes it so much easier for me to stay motivated. One of my favorite motivational tricks is buying new workout gear. If I’m in a slump and have a hard time wanting to workout usually buying new workout clothes gets me in the mood. There are tons of places out there to find cute shirts, but I’m a sucker for ones with CrossFit sayings on them. When I saw a post from Inner Strength Apparel come across my facebook page I knew I had to try it out. Keri was so kind to work with and sent me two tanks to try out.

I’ve wanted a Beast Mode shirt for like, ever. I loved that this one was pink and purple. I also loved that it had the 3-2-1 GO on it. Because sometimes it takes the beep beep beep beeeeeeeeep of the timer to activate my beast mode. The Lift Laugh Love shirt is just plain fun!

I rocked the beast mode tank for a WOD. It fit more like a singlet, it was loose and breathable. It stayed in place and handled the chalk and sweat really well. Plus I felt cute, so I’m sure that helped with my performance ;-)

liftlaughlove

The Lift Laugh Love tank was the same cut/style/size with a different print. I love the grey and pink together. It is just as comfy and light, perfect for hot summer WODs.

These shirts are so much fun! I plan on adding a few more to my collection, especially some of the fun new NEON ones! They are constantly releasing new styles and designs! Be sure to like them on facebook to see new designs as they are released! Now one of you lucky readers gets to pick out a shirt of your choosing- yeehaw!!
