Woot woot for Friday!!!  Today I’ve got some more products that I’ve been loving on lately!   Maybe I’m naïve but I usually trust people’s word that something is as good as they say it is – in fact, I’d guess that over half of what I buy, whether it be food, drinks, shoes, athletic wear, etc, comes from a positive product review I’ve seen on a blog, Facebook or Instagram.  Just like with selling my personal training, WORD OF MOUTH seemed to win most of the time.  I thought I’d share some of the things I’m loving lately – some bought with my own money and some given to me for free.

6 Things I’m Loving Lately

1)  Handful Bras

Oh my word!  I love these bras!  After I corresponded with Jody (the owner) about donating to the Blend Retreat raffle, I decided to buy one for myself.

I wear this bra way more than I probably should (and I fail to launder it way more than I probably should).  You can wear them as a sportsbra (it’s original intent) or as a regular bra.  I just bought a second one in gray so now I can switch them out when they get uber sweaty.

2)  The Good Bean Snacks

Salty.  Crunchy.  Salty.

I could eat a bag every single day.  Oddly enough, eating these makes me CRAVE Diet Dr. Pepper in the worst way.  I’m torn between buying more and caving for the aspartame juice.  First world problems.

3)  ReNew Life Probiotics

ReNew Life sent me some of their probiotics to try out recently.  As I’ve talked about before, I’m constantly trying to heal my gut through the most natural of ways and probiotics do just that (cutting out dairy and regular acupuncture have also helped tremendously)!  ReNew Life’s Ultimate Flora is a high potency, all natural probiotic that is designed to replenish the healthy bacteria in your gut.  Some other perks:

• High culture count – far greater than competitors Culturelle, Align, & Trubiotics  <-good to know as I’ve tried these in the past!
• 10 beneficial probiotic strains in every dose including Bifidobacteria (bowel health, gut immunity, and toxin elimination) and Lactobacilli (optimal nutrient absorption, intestinal defenses, and digestion)
• Unique delayed release system helps with maximum absorption
• Potency guarantee (active cultures)
• Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free and free of artificial ingredients

ReNew also sent the kids some of their own probiotics to try!  They’re chewable and Henry and Clara love the taste (is it bad that I call them candy??)  I can’t say that I’ve noticed a huge difference in the children’s bowels, but then again they never really had trouble.  I like knowing that I’m only helping their health by giving them these candies!

I will definitely be buying these with my own money – particularly the Women’s Care line (as it helps support vaginal health – who DOESN’T need that!?! <-Men).  You can buy ReNew life here!  <-NON-affiliate link

4)  Custom Kicks

Label me a dork if you want, but I ordered some custom Reebok Nano’s…..

….with Blend 2013 on the side.  I suppose I really love this Blend business. 

I haven’t worn them enough to give the Nanos a proper review, but I still wanted to share the customization process.  On YourReebok.com, you get to essentially make your shoe from scratch – you pick the colors and the design.  It took me quite a while to make these because I had so much fun mixing and matching different color schemes.  You even get to pick out the color of the shoelace eyelets!!

I love how they turned out (<-funny side note: I was hoping to wear these at Blend 2013, but waited a little to long to order them.  They arrived in NC on May 17th, the first day of Blend.  Wah-wah).

5)  New glasses from Glasses Direct

Jess from Glasses Direct contacted me to see if I’d be interested in reviewing a pair of their glasses.  OF COURSE I jumped at the chance – I’m super blind and hadn’t updated my glasses in several years.  After browsing the site, I got a little overwhelmed by all of the choices then I found the site’s easy “Style Finder” guide.  You simply input your preferences (style, material, and shape) and Glasses Direct narrows down the selection for you.  I finally settled on the “Belladonna” in black.  They are easily the BEST pair of glasses I’ve ever owned (which is saying a lot because I’ve been in glasses since I was 7).

The site offers great discounts all the time for those signed up for email and FREE at-home trials so you can try the glasses on before buying them!

6)  Organix Moroccan Argan Oil

Best. Smell. Ever! <-aside from “new car” and “new baby”  Since I live in North Carolina, aka the sweaty-humid-wet-swamp land of the South (Clara’s words, not mine), I don’t really use all that much lotion.  I was just wasting time in the lotion aisle at the store, smelling all of the products (you do this too??) and I found this one.  It does a great job at moisturizing – I apply it after ever shower and before bed.  Hop in your car and go buy this!

QUESTION:  Any latest product(s) buys that you just have to share??  Tell me about something I should spend my money on.

*Some of the products listed above were given free of charge for me to try out!  However, I was not paid for my opinion on them.
