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:

Something that keeps me energized – STARBUCKS 😉

To keep me energized throughout the day, I like to use my lunch hour to take a walk. It always leaves me feeling refreshed and energized and ready to tackle the rest of the day.
Normally it’s an early morning workout. But I have a beast of a cold, so right now it’s getting 9 hours of sleep.
Taking breaks to run the stairs in the library if I’m studying all day (like now for finals) keeps my energy up.
Also I follow you oy on Pinterest.
Making a healthy breakfast for my family on work/school mornings. It gets the day started off right, and sets the tone for the rest of my day, and helps me stay fueled and focused by choosing healthy foods, with a little help from my morning coffee. 😉
I drink lots of water to keep me energized!

I already own 2 pairs of Juils and I love them!!!! SOmething that keeps me energized is a great healthy breakfast and wearing my workouts clothes (if I don’t have to work that day) so that i have no excuses to get in a good workout.
Getting up from my desk every hour to get water.
Listening to upbeat music helps energize me. Whether it’s first thing in the morning or before I head into a workout.
Those flats are so cute!! And working out first thing in the morning energizes me. I will never go back to evening workouts again!

Coffee and getting outside for a bit in the middle of the day energize me.
Little bouts of activity help me stay energized during the day, especially when I am doing homework!
Something that keeps me grounded is coffee every morning and trying to sneak in a yoga class during lunch.

A barre workout in the morning. Or stretching
I drink yogi tea, use a standing desk, and try to move as much as possible!
With a 2 year old and newborn, even just getting the boys in the stroller for a brisk 30 minute walk around our neighborhood gives me a major boost!
Making sure to take breaks to walk around and stretch keeps me energized. And getting fresh air always helps!
And I follow you on pinterest already. I love seeing the recipes that you pin!
Taking quick walks always energizes me! It’s finals week for me right now, so I’m making sure to take study breaks to walk around the neighborhood so I don’t go crazy.
Herbal tea and long conversations with my mom keep me grounded! Walks on the beach always help too!
Also following on Pinterest 🙂
Taking a break and finding someone to chat with for even just a few minutes. Doesn’t matter what we talk about, but it’s energizing to have a “brain break” during the day.
Love your Pinterest boards! Can’t wait to use some of those Christmas ideas!!
drinking lots of water
green tea or apples and peanut butter help energize me through my day.
Something that energizes me: walking my dog each day. Getting outside–no matter how cold it is this time of year–always gives me energy and refreshes me!
Exercise, even though I’m struggling with consistency, is the biggest energizer for me during the day.
taking long deep breaths — inhale/hold/exhale.
Music keeps me moving throughout the day. It’s the perfect pick me up!

I love to get in at least four good workouts in a week to keep my energy up and feeling great! I like at least 15 minutes a day of silent time or meditation or even just a nap, all distractions are turned off and it definitely helps me rejuvenate!!
Starbucks! Its a must!
I follow you on pinterest!! I also wanted to say, I’ve never been a real big fan of the ballet flat because they are hard for me to wear, but now I am so curious to see how the “grounding” element works in these shoes. Very interesting!!
Things that energize me: Getting outside for even just a 10 minute walk – longer if better! Deep, slow breaths. Yoga.
My daily morning walk with my dog definitely energizes me and is a great start to the day!
I already follow you on Facebook! 🙂
To stay energized, I rely on exercise and coffee! I also supplement with Vitamin D during the winter, which I think helps indirectly
