For Those With A Busy Lifestyle

As a single mom, I feel like I am always busy or on-the-go! I try to find time for myself in between caring for my son and two dogs! I am also juggling running our household as well! For those with a busy lifestyle, we found products that are perfect for you! 

For Those With A Busy Lifestyle

I love staying busy. I know two dogs is a lot of work, especially for myself and my situation. My son does require extra care compared to kids his age. However, the benefits of having our dogs far outweigh the added toll it can take. My dogs keep me company during the day when I am home alone. Before having dogs, it was so lonely and quiet! Now, our home is filled with tippy taps, snoring, farts, and lots of love!

Beating The Mid-Day Slump

Beating The Mid-Day Slump
Beauty Brite Disclosure

If you are anything like me, mid-day is the most exhausting time of day. Morning motivation has slipped away, and it feels like the afternoon is just crawling ever so slowly by. So I wanted to share with you some great new products to help bring you back from that wave of exhaustion.

Mid-Day Malfunction!

As a mom of four someday’s, I just forget to make sure that I take care of myself. Or I’m so busy feeding everyone else, half the day goes by and I realize that I’m starving. So I started looking for items that help with the mid-day run down and keep me feeling healthy. That’s when I discovered a company called Just Ingredients. A company that believes that real ingredients are what matters most.

Flavored Water

I’ll be the first to admit that I struggle with drinking as much water as I should. By adding their Flavored Water, I am a little closer to meeting my daily water goal. I’ve tried a couple of different flavors and my favorite is definitely the Strawberry Limeade followed by Tropical Paradise.

When it’s mid-day I don’t always have much time to create a meal, especially if I’m at work. So finding a product that leaves me feeling full and empowered is what I look for and that’s where the Protein Powder pack comes into play. My favorite so far that I’ve tried is the Vanilla Bean Protein Powder. With a creamy taste and no artificial sweeteners, this powder leaves me ready to face the day without feeling hungry. These powders come in so many amazing flavors, from Snickerdoodle to Creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate.

Protein Powder

Just Ingredients even offer some great skin care products from an Organic Face Serum Oil that helps to fight those signs of aging. This Face Serum helps balance your skin no matter if it’s dry or on the oily side like mine. Just Ingredients also have some amazing lip balm choices. My favorite Lip Balm is Fresh Mint. With 100% natural ingredients this lip balm leaves the sensitive skin of your lips feeling soft and protected from the elements with a SPF 14 protection level.

Skin Care

All and all as a busy mom and full-time employee, Just Ingredients is a company that works to help better my days. When natural products leave me feeling full of energy during that mid-day slump, and it’s not just that temporary boost. I don’t have to worry about putting their products in or on my body, I know exactly what’s inside them and it is the very best products that I can choose.

Refresh Your Fitness

As a dog mom, I love walking at the park. I find myself taking my dog outside every few hours as it is. With that, I don’t want to carry a huge purse or crossbody for my essentials. When I saw the SPI Crossbody Pro from SPIBelt, I knew I could use it! 

SPI Crossbody Pro

I love the SPI Crossbody Pro! I use it to go to the grocery store, run quick errands, walk at the park, or those quick potty breaks throughout the day! 

SPI Crossbody Pro upclose inside pocket

I use the SPI Crossbody Pro to carry the essentials, such as my ID, cash/credit cards, lip balm, keys, phone, and earbuds! So easy and so lightweight! 

SPI Crossbody Pro phone case inside

As you can see, it easily fits my Samsung S22+! The zippered compartment is soft and stretchy! I like being able to  carry my phone around with me around the house! It allows me to keep my phone with me! The SPI Crossbody Pro is lightweight and fits perfectly as a crossbody or around the waist (wrapped around twice)! 

Refresh Your Hair

I am all about caring for my hair. It starts at the scalp! I always thought it was my shampoo and conditioner that wasn’t working with my hair. It turns out, using oils for the hair really helps the scalp!

Sesame oil

I use a few natural oils on my scalp and hair. I just learned about Sesame Oil and now I add it to my ritual! Sesame oil is lightweight on my hair! I apply on my scalp and pay special attention to the ends! 

I prefer to apply my hair oils a few hours before showering for the evening, but this works with my schedule. Some apply their oils before bedtime and shower in the morning. Since I shower at night, I apply my oils mid-day! 

Have you tried using oils for your scalp?

Refresh Your Skin

I am so excited to use the Face, lip and body butter, JOJOBA LOVE as it is safe to use for my son’s skin as well. His lips get so dry! 

Face, lip and body butter, JOJOBA LOVE

I use this on our lips every evening and it keeps our lips moisturized and protected overnight! The Face, lip and body butter, JOJOBA LOVE feels gentle and lightweight on our skin. It is solid but as soon as it hits your skin, it melts quickly and applies so easily.

Support Where You Need It Most

Support Where You Need It Most
Beauty Brite Disclosure

I’m a mom of four, and a full time store manager; so I need all the support I can get when it comes to working long days and spending so much time on my feet. Keep reading to see some of the great products I’ve found that give me the much-needed support when I need it the most.

A little over four years ago I was in a car accident that came really close to killing me. I broke three out of four limbs, and spent 6 months in a wheelchair and learning to re-walk after my heel was left shattered. You can learn more about my accident by clicking here. Meaning I now have alot of struggles finding the correct footwear and being able to be on my feet all day. Unfortunately, as a store manager that is exactly what I have to do, so I look for items that can help and that is where I have found some amazing insoles to give me that support.

Alignmed

Align Med is leading the change when it comes to apparel that gives you the support you need. It was truly a game-changer when I found their Full Range Insoles. These gel channeling insoles are so different from other insoles I’ve used before. When you walk you can feel the cushion, and where most other insoles are bulky these are only 1mm thick and you hardly know they are there. One of the key benefits of these insoles are that they help to increase your circulation in your feet. Which after my foot had been completely reconstructed I need all the help I can get with that. I think my favorite part of these full-range insoles is that I can even wear them with flip-flops!

Full Range Insoles

My next favorite product by Align Med is their Posture Sports Bra. It doesn’t matter if your lifting boxes at work or lugging my kids around my back is always taking the brunt of the stress. This sports bra has made a world of difference. You can see the change in posture from just a regular bra. I’m no longer in pain when I come home from the end of the day. I love the fact that the bra has wide shoulder straps, I don’t have to worry about it digging into my shoulders. This bra comes in four different colors and is front closing making it so much easier to put on. You can see the amazing results side by side. ( The awesome Posture Sports Bra on the right ) Look how much better my back is aligned.
