Check out these must have items for 2019!
Hey y’all! We’re halfway through January 2019, how CRAZY!! I wanted to do a little recap of some items that I think are a must for the new year! I feel like 2019 is a year of good health and fitness! Mike and I have made a promise that this year is going to be our healthiest and fittest year yet! So without further ado let get to it!
- Vital Proteins | I found out about Vital Proteins on instagram from someone, I can’t remember who, but they originally mentioned the flavorless one, that you can add into anything and everything. I personally like the Matcha Collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, and helps support the health of all the body’s connective tissues. I have a great recipe for this, I’ll share this on my instagram.
- Cosmedica | Y’all, I take care of my skin, but I knew nothing about Retinol, Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic Acid. This trio can truly transform your skin. I started following Jordan Harper and boy has she changed my life by the introduction to these products, granted she uses higher end brands, but I found Cosmedica and my Derm agreed it was a good place to start. Retinol offers the ultimate targeted correction of discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C is a complete nutrient rich combination of active ingredients to combat uneven skin tone and signs of aging. Hyaluronic Acid has hydrating and plumping properties that combat dryness and aging skin while providing balanced moisture. I will be posting an all about skincare post soon, so stay tuned.
- Lively | YOU NEED THIS BRAND IN YOUR LIFE- LIVELY is not just about the products, but about the mindset they want to share with woman around the world and I LOVE THEM!! They are all about empowering woman and letting them know that no matter what size you are, YOU. ARE. SEXY. I have the Seamless Deep V Bralette and WOW. Its the best bralette I’ve ever worn! I have like another 5 in my cart! They have way more things than Bra’s, I also love their perfumes-give me all the heart eyes! You can use my code: AMB-findingmyessence for a discount! (praise hands)
- Healthy Human | WATER- give me all the water! I am horrible at staying hydrated, but having a cute bottle that is reusable helps. Healthy Human’s mission is to inspire us to live life healthy and contribute towards a healthier plant with innovative and sustainable products. I. LOVE. IT. They have many different sizes and colors, this white one is the one I love the most.
- The Happy Planner | This planner is seriously my happy place. I have always wanted an Erin Condren Planner, but man those planners are cute, but expensive. However, a friend mentioned to me The Happy Planner and it has changed my life. I plan things all the time, and this layout of the calendar and days helps. I put everything from appointments, bills, dates, PTO, you name it and it’s probably in my calendar.
- GTS | If you know me, I am ALWAYS in my Greater Than Sports (GTS) leggings, ALWAYS! I can’t pick just one pair that I love, because I love them all so much! They are such an awesome company and I’m so blessed to be an ambassador for them! (No, I don’t get free clothes, I wish) I just truly respect the company, so I will always rave about GTS! I wish I had a discount code for you guys, I will work on that!
- OLLY Vitamins– are so delicious! I love them and so does Mike! I have the Woman’s Multi and Mike has the Men’s Multi. I also have the Belly one to help with digestion. Guys, its so important to take care of our bodies and if we don’t get all those nutrients through food, we have to get them somehow, Mike does not like taking any vitamins, but these he doesn’t mind (they’re like candy to him).
- Adidas | New shoes, who dis? I think I have a shoe obsession, tennis shoe to be exact. I think that’s what I always ask for my birthday, Christmas, Valentines and every other month because I want to find a shoe that I will continue to buy, and I think I found them. I just recently got the Adidas Ultraboost recommended by Yogoskenz and it seriously feels like I’m running/walking on clouds. They are seriously super comfy. New shoes can always motivate you to get back to the gym or to start a new workout class. I’d recommend 10/10!
Well those are my top 8 things to get you through this new year! You have to check out at least a few of these items! They are all so amazing and I will go into way more details on my Instagram or maybe even a more detailed post!
