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!

    I work in an office 8 – 5 so I make sure to get outside at least once or twice a day to get some fresh air and a small walk in.

  2. Karla on December 9, 2014 at 7:43 am

    What keeps me energized thru out the day is super cold water from our office water cooler and walking laps around our building during lunch!

  7. Jessica on December 9, 2014 at 7:44 am

    Not gonna lie – it’s a hot cup of coffee that energizes me everyday. 🙂

  12. Penny on December 9, 2014 at 7:45 am

    I do my exercise in the morning which keeps me full of energy most days. On the days I have an afternoon slump, I walk around the house to get a few more steps in and that gets me through the day.

    Hot water with lemon and a nice walk! 🙂

  15. Molly B. on December 9, 2014 at 7:46 am

    A morning workout always gives me the energy I need to tackle the day!

  16. DominiqUe on December 9, 2014 at 7:46 am

    Lots of water! And remembering that my 11 month old is only this little for a tiny bit so I better get up and play!

  18. Neena on December 9, 2014 at 7:47 am

    I find it very energizing to go outside on busy days and just take several deep breaths of fresh air.

  19. Karen on December 9, 2014 at 7:47 am

    As much as I always hate it when my alarm goes off, that early morning workout always gets me going

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

    Coffee really helps and also a good workout!

  21. Kim on December 9, 2014 at 7:49 am

    staying hydrated definitely keeps me energized!

  22. Amee on December 9, 2014 at 7:50 am

    Nine hours of uninterrupted sleep is what energizes me.

  23. Kelly J on December 9, 2014 at 7:50 am

    Coffee! Lots and lots of coffee.

  24. Cathy Wilson on December 9, 2014 at 7:50 am

    Before eating lunch I throw on my shoes and go for a brisk 30 min walk.

  26. Jen on December 9, 2014 at 7:50 am

    i always feel energized if i work out first thing in the morning! although a cup of coffee at some point in the day is not a bad pick-me-up…. 😉

  27. Hilary on December 9, 2014 at 7:52 am

    Chasing after my toddler 🙂

  28. Kelly on December 9, 2014 at 7:53 am

    A good work is what energizes me. I call it my cup of coffee as I am not much a fan of the real stuff.

  29. Meghan on December 9, 2014 at 7:53 am

    A nice hot cup of coffee keeps me energized:-)

  31. Rebecca on December 9, 2014 at 7:55 am

    My morning run totally gives me more energy throughout the day, even if it sounds counterintuitive!

  32. Ashley on December 9, 2014 at 7:55 am

    WATER keeps me energized! I find that when things are crazy my tendency is to cut back on water intake and up my caffeinated beverage intake (teas, coffees, diet sodas < ICK!) If I make a conscious effort to keep my water intake high I actually find myself feeling better and more energized than if I simply try to up my caffeine-intake!

  33. Ashley on December 9, 2014 at 7:56 am

    I’m following you on Pinterest! Honestly have no idea how/why I wasn’t following you already!!

  35. melissa c. on December 9, 2014 at 7:57 am

    My lunch time workout energizes me for the rest of the day!

  36. Rachel on December 9, 2014 at 7:59 am

    Working out in the morning keeps me energized (if I can summon the energy to get up early enough) and drinking hot water with lemon!

    A good nights sleep and cup of coffee in the morning keep me energized for the day!

  43. Holly Miller on December 9, 2014 at 8:00 am

    One thing that keeps me grounded is drinking tea and reading before bed! So relaxing and lets me clear my mind.

  45. Mackenzie on December 9, 2014 at 8:01 am

    Early morning workouts get me energized for the day, but for late afternoons music is my go-to pick-me-up! In addition to Christmas music (duh), currently loving this jam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbcCG7PkI18

  46. Ashley N. on December 9, 2014 at 8:01 am

    Water helps energize me through the day.. Along with Beyonce radio! 🙂

  47. Randi on December 9, 2014 at 8:01 am

    These looks super comfy and would be a perfect way to stylishly (try to) get through my third trimester!

  49. Kyra on December 9, 2014 at 8:03 am

    A daily cup of yogi tea keeps me energized throughout the day. I’m not sure if it’s the tea, the quotes on the tea bags, or both, but I always feel better after drinking a cup!

  50. Val R. on December 9, 2014 at 8:03 am

    Running in the afternoon energizes me so much!
