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

An early morning bike ride followed by copious amounts of coffee!
Nothing seems to energize me more throughout the day, than when I can get an early morning workout in! The benefit to that also being that I sleep so much better that night too!
Naps and snacks, for sure! 🙂
I love my Juil flats! I actually bought a pair after seeing them recommended on two separate blog posts (one being yours).
Being an introvert, I’ve found that I’m most energized when I have the chance to reflect upon my day through meditation and just rewind during my ‘me’ time. That and spending time with my two pups, they make it possible for any stress and bad moods to dissipate quickly!

We just got standing work stations in our office, and they help so much with energizing throughout the day!
The way if energize during the day is tot take 5 minutes when I’m feeling drowsy to down some water, close my eyes and focus on my breath. I bet it would be even more effective in those beautiful shoes!

the two most energizing thing in my life are my kids (when they are happy its impossible not to be happy) and my spin class!
I’m sure this won’t come as any shock to you — but what really energizes me during the day is getting a quick workout in during lunch at the office gym 🙂
Exercise helps energize me for the day! The flats are so cute.
I drink lots of water to keep energy and tea in the afternoon if I really need a boost.
It’s tough getting out of the house with a 9 week old, so I look forward to my daily walks through the neighborhood with Piper. The outdoors and fresh air always energize me and help me get through the rest of the day.
Exercising in the morning – I like that I can finish it up before the day starts and gives me the energy I need for the day (no matter how little sleep I got that night :))

Sitting down to eat, no matter how busy I am!
Early morning workouts get me through the day!
I work behind a computer all day and just moved to a standing desk. That along with snacking healthy keeps me going all day long!
I need beverages to get me through the day!! Coffee rejuvinates me in the morning, lots of water throughout the day, and wine around 7!
Coffee gets me energized! 🙂

I love these flats-so cute! I get energized by walking the dogs on my lunch hour..and by drinking coffee!
I work out in the morning before work which really helps my energy throughout the day. I definately notice a difference when I skip a day!
Getting up several times throughout the day and walking around our building helps me to feel a bit more energized during the day.
PS Love the flats, they’ve been on my Christmas list for a couple of years now.

Coffee– and drinking lots of water!
My early morning workout definitely helps energize me throughout the day!!
I make sure to run or go to the gym in the morning which helps energize me throughout the day. I also take a 10 minute walk when I’m starting to feel tired which really helps!

Music keeps me energized throughout the day– right now, Taylor Swift’s new album!
Tea helps energize me! I love David’s Tea!
I love a mid day run and always keeping upbeat music in the background.
I love to do yoga, it helps center my thoughts and get rid of the negativity.
A giant glass of water energizes me first thing in the morning, and any time throughout the day when I’m feeling lethargic or not myself!
Crossfit! Wods always give me energy — after I mop myself off that floor that is…..!

Starting my day with a workout always helps to wake me up and energize me throughout the day!
