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!

  13. Lindsey on December 9, 2014 at 3:09 pm

    I work at a desk all day, so I like to go out into the hallway or bathroom and jump around for a few minutes. This refreshes my brain a bit and gets me through the afternoon. I just cross my fingers no one from the office spots me 🙂

  14. Deanne on December 9, 2014 at 3:11 pm

    When I am feeling tired at work a glass of Vega Pre-Workout Energizer always gets me feeling more energized.

    a brisk walk (inside) while checking my phone for Face Book and IG updates 🙂 Since im walking while reading I have to be careful and walk along a vacant hallway …… But the break always leaves me Happy!

  18. Maggie on December 9, 2014 at 3:18 pm

    I love to take stretch breaks or quick walks around the office neighborhood to break up the monotony of the day and energize myself. If that doesn’t work, a few dark chocolate chips really does the trick! 🙂

  19. Kristin on December 9, 2014 at 3:21 pm
