Hey besties! Happy Thursday!
I spent a good amount of today doing yard work so I am going to keep today’s intro very short and sweet sooo…..
these are a few of my favorite things (and yes…you have to sing it lol)
supplements.
Olly Women’s Vitamin – I finally stopped taking my prenatal and switch to this. I love Olly as a brand overall so it was a no brainer for me to switch to their women’s vitamin once I was ready to. They are in gummy form + taste pretty good so they’re super easy to remember to take.
Vitamin E – I started taking this to help support my liver after an incident I had last year. Vitamin E is shown to possibly improve symptoms of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
BCAA – This hasssss to be my favorite supplement. BCAA stands for branch chain amino acids and they help with a ton of things like: muscle growth, muscle soreness, + exercise fatigue. I noticed that when I am consistent with these my abs really started to POP!
Black Seed Oil + Ashwagandha – I am an anxiety girlie. There are some days that I have a really hard time calming down and focusing but these two really help get me together so that I can do all of the things I need to do. Black seed oil has sooooo many health benefits. Even is you’re not an anxiety girlie like me, you should read up on it. Ashwagandha also has a tone of benefits…it helps with blood sugar, inflammation, mood, memory, stress, and anxiety, as well as a boost in muscle strength
tea + hot drinks.
Peppermint tea – I drink this every single night and I have neverrrr slept better. I did a post on my nighttime routine earlier this week and you can read all about it here. Peppermint tea really helps with relaxation and also helps with getting your digestive system going.
Vanilla comoro – I like to steep this with the peppermint tea at night or drink it on its own throughout the day. It’s really smooth and creamy. I like to have it with a little honey and oat milk while the boys have quiet time.
Instant Coffee – I have to used our Keurig or Nespresso since buying instant coffee. IDK is this is a fact or not but I am sooo sure this had more caffeine in it that regular coffee and it has a bolder flavor too. When I make my own lattes at home, this is the key to make them taste like they came from your favorite coffee shop. D swears that my coffee at home is wayyyy better than any place we have been to lately because of this.
Blume Superfood Latte – This is newer to me but I was reeled in because it supports relaxation. SO far I would give it a 10/10 because I do feel like my brain is a lot less foggy after drinking this and I’m much calmer. This flavor is pretty good too….it’s a cinnamon-y hot chocolate.
here’s a reel I made using the Blume superfood latte
bodycare.
Native Vanilla + Coconut – Gives summer vibes all year round + pairs really with any perfume or lotion you want to layer with.
Vanicream Moisturizing Cream – The perfect moisturizer for dry skin. My term suggested I used it back in the spring and I haven’t lookd
Nest Perfume Oil – Try the Madagascar vanilla and thank me later.
more.
Buff City Soap Laundry Detergent in Pink Sugar – I shared about this in my “its the little things” post. It’s newer to us but I can already tell it will be a staple in our house. If you like sugar-y/candy-like scents then you will loveee this! The scent booster we have from here is really good too
Vanilla Premier Protein Shake – If you have followed me on instagram for the past year or so then you KNOW I have tried an endless amount of protein shakes, powders, and health drinks. BUT at the end of the day…vanilla is still my favorite…HANDS DOWN! I love to make my own version of the hulk shake from smoothie king. If you giys want the recipe let me know and I can make a post + reel about it.
Extra Creamy Oatmilk – the key to making your at home lattes taste like they come from starbucks! sooo creamy and delicious without the dairy.
The Nori Tee (from my line…I wear these almost daily!) – I can’t say enough good things about this tee! It’s 100% cotton, thick, unisex, and luxurious feeling. I am a t-shirt and jeans girly and if this weren’t my brand I would still have a bunch of them because they are that good! I like to wear them in a small normally and an XL when I want them really oversized.
