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!
Here’s how to enter this giveaway:

well, besides coffee — a good workout and walking breaks throughout the day!
I follow ya on Pinterest, girl!
Sleep is my MUST HAVE. I get at least 8 hours almost every night.
I’ve written a full post on the benefits of working out barefoot, and some of that applies here too. I feel energized when I get up from my desk and stretch. And when I chug a glass of water.

Some deep breathing, a few yoga postures or some chocolate are my go-to pick me ups !

Both green tea and a walk after lunch energize me!
Coffee! Although I over did it yesterday and slept poorly the first half of the night. Today I am going to switch out some water for what I call my liquid gold!
Closing my eyes and taking a few deep breaths (and hopefully forgetting all my stressors for a few moments!)
I definitely use a cup of coffee during my son’s afternoon nap to keep me energized! Thanks for the giveaway!
Also, I have started to follow you on Pinterest now too! Yay!
Getting in a great workout always gets me energized! Thanks for the giveaway – those flats are SO cute!

My standing desk. No, I don’t stand all day, but a great way to bust through the afternoon duldrums is to switch to standing for 20-60 minutes. It means avoiding caffeine and still gets the blood flowing
I drink 6-7 cups of tea during the day.

Coffee!
usually i’ll take a little walk, listen to a podcast, and try to recharge … tough now with the *awful* weather in NYC but i try!
My morning coffee, obvi!
A good run!
A after work workout always energizes me!
Time alone in the quiet of the morning to reflect and pray gives me extra energy.

I’m energized by seeing my Jawbone Up numbers throughout the day! And getting in a good workout. And seeing girlfriends spontaneously!
My morning workout followed by breakfast and I am (usually) ready for the day.
a run or workout of course : )

Well definitely working out. But also taking some time first thing in the morning to meditate and get grounded before I start my day. Just 10 minutes or so really helps!
I always know if I’m drinking enough water by how energized I feel. If I’m still feeling sluggish, a little walk around the office helps. And a morning workout always sticks with me!
a great morning workout and water ALL DAY!
Caffeine! It’s the only way!

I take a walk in the afternoon. And I drink green tea throughout the day. 🙂
Following you on Pinterest! 🙂
HA Coffee!!! I follow you on pinterest.
I always feel energized by lime. I eat one every day when it’s dreary out and it helps me feel better. I love flats, but I have never heard of this brand. Ordering some right now! Thanks for highlighting awesome stuff!

No matter what my scheduled workout is for the day, I always walk my dog for 30 minutes right when I get up. It’s some quiet for myself and I always feel like I accomplished something before my day really even starts!
