Favorite things giveaway: Juil flats

Hi! Happy Tuesday! Hope you’re enjoying the morning so far!

Onto today’s favorite things giveaway, courtesy of my friends at Juil! (They also offered a discount code; just enter “FITNESSISTA15” to get 15% off through next Tuesday.)

Juil

These are the flats I’ve been living in this fall.

Juil  1 of 1

If you’re not familiar with the Juil brand, they specialize in grounding shoes. The concept of grounding (also called earthing), involves the benefits we receive from close proximity to the earth’s surface. You may notice that you feel different when you walk barefoot on the earth, as opposed to strapped into the thick shoes and walking on cement. Through copper points in these shoes, the free radicals (which cause inflammation in the boxy) can be neutralized and released through the earth. I always feel more energized and light on my feet when I’m wearing grounding shoes.

Grounding shoes have not always been the most fashion forward, but Juil has dramatically changed that. Their shoes are absolutely gorgeous, well-constructed with leather, and feel like a DREAM.

I asked Juil if they’d be interested in participating in this week’s giveaway, and they generously offered flats to two very lucky readers.

The style I’m wearing above are the Aria, but I also have my eyes on the Ohk!

  2. Charlotte on December 9, 2014 at 7:01 am

    Cooking dinner after work! I know it’s tedious for some people, but I look forward to getting home to create a beautiful meal each day.

    Coffee and working out. Both are daily requirements!

  9. Michelle Rae on December 9, 2014 at 7:03 am

    My morning coffee and drinking LOTS of water help keep me energized all day long!

    My 2:30 dark chocolate treat. Every. Day.

  12. annie on December 9, 2014 at 7:04 am

    My two children keep me energized and they help were me out too! I cant get enough!

  13. Kristin Shotter on December 9, 2014 at 7:05 am

    My dogs keep me energized; regardless of how tired I am when I come home from training clients or teaching barre, I have to still walk them and get them some exercise. Our walks always re-energize me for the rest of the day and it’s also energizing to be outdoors!

  14. Allison T. on December 9, 2014 at 7:06 am

    I follow on Pinterest and enjoy your healthy eats pins. What energizes me during the day is taking a quick walk around the office building and up the stairs to stretch my legs during long periods of sitting. Stepping away also helps my brain take a break and come back refreshed 🙂

  15. Jamie on December 9, 2014 at 7:06 am

    A quick walk outside helps me reset and energize during the day.

  17. Emily on December 9, 2014 at 7:07 am

    Getting up a few minutes early for some me time before the fam wakes up keeps me grounded all day. I also follow on pinterest:)

  18. liz on December 9, 2014 at 7:07 am

    a good breakfast and a nice run in the AM keep me energized through the day!

  20. Leah O on December 9, 2014 at 7:07 am

    I’m always energized when I get a little alone time during the day. A cup of tea and a good book while the boys are napping

  21. natasha on December 9, 2014 at 7:10 am

    Taking a break during the work day to read a book at lunch time helps me step back and feel energized!

  22. Lucy on December 9, 2014 at 7:10 am

    i’ve never heard of these before! so cool! morning work outs make me feel better throughout the day.

  23. Megan on December 9, 2014 at 7:10 am

    Some fresh air and a cup of tea always helps me stay energized through out the day. I often take a walk outside during the work day to clear my head and wake up.

  25. Katherine M. on December 9, 2014 at 7:12 am

    One thing that keeps me energized through the day is a healthy breakfast. Makes me feel great and keeps me going!

  26. Sara on December 9, 2014 at 7:13 am

    Coffee….however I’ve been drinking decaf for awhile and it seems to do the same thing. I think I just need the ritual of a cup of coffee.

  27. Brittany G. on December 9, 2014 at 7:13 am

    Working out definitely helps me stay energized!

  28. Sara on December 9, 2014 at 7:13 am

    The flats are gorgeous! And I love this concept. Something that keeps me energized throughout the day (other than coffee or tea!) is sometimes taking a few minutes (or even just 30 seconds) to close my eyes and focus on my breath. It helps me remember what my motivations are, refocus, and also keeps me grounded!

    Peppermint oil picks me up mid afternoon

  32. amber conger on December 9, 2014 at 7:14 am

    Heading to the gym at lunch energizes me to get through the rest of my workday!

  33. Candice on December 9, 2014 at 7:16 am

    Something that keeps me energized they the day is to step away from technology and get some fresh air and a quick walk.

  35. Alexa on December 9, 2014 at 7:16 am

    the walk home from work energizes me, but at work i mostly stick with tea to try to keep me awake! haha

  36. katie on December 9, 2014 at 7:16 am

    followed you on Pinterest !

  37. Lynora on December 9, 2014 at 7:16 am

    Crossing things off my to-do lit always seems to give my energy level a boost. I think being productive can be energizing!

  38. denise on December 9, 2014 at 7:16 am

    Coffee, water and almonds on the nutrition front! Also, where I work, the content is pretty intense so we have a HUGE TV screen with a live feed of puppies and kittens all day!

  39. katie on December 9, 2014 at 7:17 am

    Drinking water throughout the day definitely energizes me!

    Nothing like a toddler giggling to bring me back to the moment and reinvigorate my spirit. Their zest and curiosity for life is contagious.

  43. Adrienne on December 9, 2014 at 7:18 am

    I love drinking warm lemon juice first thing in the morning, it gives me a nice energy boost and a great for detox!

  44. Jenny on December 9, 2014 at 7:19 am

    Either chasing after my toddler or walking stairs seems to perk me up after a long day and gets the blood flowing.

  45. Julie on December 9, 2014 at 7:19 am

    Coffee, Coffee, Coffee 🙂

  46. Kaitlyn on December 9, 2014 at 7:20 am

    A morning workout energizes me!

  47. Erika on December 9, 2014 at 7:20 am

    Tea and getting some fresh air!

  48. Robin on December 9, 2014 at 7:20 am

    These are so cute. I liked them last time you posted about them but they are a bit pricey. The one thing that gets my engerized each day is working out!

  49. Casey on December 9, 2014 at 7:20 am

    I love cooking dinner after work! It relaxes me 🙂

  50. Lauren on December 9, 2014 at 7:20 am
