I thought I would take a minute to let you guys know about some items that I can't get enough of at the moment!
1. Neutrogena Naturals night cream: I've been using a night moisturizer for years, but after having a facial not too long ago the esthetician challenged to me to really look at my beauty products and see what I was really putting into my skin. The results that I found were astounding! Not only could I hardly pronounce most of the ingredients, but many of them were tested on animals. This product was recommended by my esthetician and has great reviews online. No animal testing, no dyes, no sulfates, no parabens, phthalates, no petrolatum. It makes my skin feel so smooth and gives me a glowing look first thing in the morning! Also, being neutrogena, it comes at a great price and who doesn't love that?!?!?

2. Manduka eKO yoga mat: After my beloved Target yoga mat bit the dust I was on the hunt for a good quality yoga mat. And boy was it a hunt! After asking yogi friends and reading hundreds of reviews online I decided on this one. Manduka is a renowned brand and offers a lifetime warranty. Their eKO line is made from biodegradable natural tree-free rubber. It's easy to clean, offers tons of cushion & there's no slippage during practice! I still use a yoga towel to protect the mat because I sweat like a beast, but this mat allows you to practice without. It's relatively inexpensive ($88) when compared to a lot of the name brand yoga mats out there. I would love to spend the $118 on their pro series, but this mat is great & I feel good about the green impact of this mat. Overall, a great investment that makes me excited!
3. Asics Gel-cumulus 15 aka my amazing running shoes: Brooks have been my personal running shoe of choice for the past couple years, however when they made a change to my model it didn't work for my foot & it was time for a new running partner. Along with the change in my brand I have slightly changed my running stride to more of a mid foot strike (this I can explain in later blog), but it made a stability shoe too supportive for me. It was time for a neutral shoe and these Asics are off the planet. I get great support but also unexplainable comfort, whether I'm out for 3 miles or 6. They are light-weight & did I mention how much I love the colors?! Asics' gel series is ultra-durable providing lasting support until the end of the shoe or you, whichever happens first ;)
4. Dark Chocolate Covered Fruit: These sweet little gems are a Costco find!!! Yes, Costco, can you believe it? Costco is amazing for American produced products and you can always find some healthy foods & treats in it's massive aisles. The health benefits of dark chocolate & the super fruits involved (cherries, blueberries & cranberries) are highly researched including the benefits of antioxidants & phytochemicals (cancer fighting amazingness). These give you a little touch a sweet with the dark chocolate and the fruit, but are not filled with calories or sugar! Makes for my favorite evening treat. Side note, they also go great with a glass of red vino mmmmmm
Hope you guys enjoy my reviews of these incredible products. What products do you have/love????
