Favorite things giveaway: Juil flats

Hi! Happy Tuesday! Hope youโ€™re enjoying the morning so far!

Onto todayโ€™s favorite things giveaway, courtesy of my friends at Juil! (They also offered a discount code; just enter โ€œFITNESSISTA15โ€ to get 15% off through next Tuesday.)

Juil

These are the flats Iโ€™ve been living in this fall.

Juil  1 of 1

If youโ€™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 earthโ€™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 Iโ€™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 theyโ€™d be interested in participating in this weekโ€™s giveaway, and they generously offered flats to two very lucky readers.

The style Iโ€™m wearing above are the Aria, but I also have my eyes on the Ohk!

    If I can get a walk in, that totally energizes me, but my biggest pick me up is starting my day with hot water and lemon and a little free flow yoga in my living room!

    These flats are so pretty. I stay organized throughout the day by checking (and updating) my planner as well as just trying to put things away at home when I’m done with them so I don’t feel overwhelmed by a messy kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc. at the end of the day.

    If I’m at work and feeling tired, a quick walk around outside helps me wake up!

    Working with a great group of people keeps me mentally energized and the fact that my job allows me access to a great gym keeps me physically energized!

    I play with my dog – running around either inside or out, chase him up the stairs, etc. He has enough energy for both of us and it boosts me up!

    skinny banana ice-cream does the trick for me! frozen banana blended with peanut butter and a dollop of greek yoghurt! blissssss!

  16. Melissa on December 10, 2014 at 2:18 am

    I love to workout every morning as soon as I wake up. It’s hard to get started, but makes me feel so much better for the day ahead.

  17. Sejal mehra on December 10, 2014 at 2:24 am

    After a long day I like to take a quick shower when I get home. I find it energizes be enough to play with my kids and be present with them until bedtime.

  18. ourania on December 10, 2014 at 2:50 am

    My morning workouts energize me

  19. Christen on December 10, 2014 at 3:38 am

    These days it is coffee getting me through the day, but it used to be a quick walk around my office building. Oh the things we let go when we are busy.

  21. Jerica on December 10, 2014 at 3:42 am

    I work in an office environment so unfortunately spend most of my waking hours cooped up inside. The one thing that never fails to energize me is some sunshine and fresh air! I try to go for a walk at least once a day to get my blood flowing and some good, clean air into my lungs!

  26. Ashley Bible on December 10, 2014 at 4:39 am

    What helps me to stay energized is getting in a morning workout! I can totally feel the difference if I skip it!

    Music keeps me going throughout the day – if I’m feeling sleepy I know it is time to blast some new music!

  33. kam on December 10, 2014 at 5:02 am

    if i can peel myself from my desk at work, a mid-day walk really makes all the difference- it’s energizing physically, and mentally, helps me feel more positive and motivated to get back at it!

  34. Kathy on December 10, 2014 at 5:14 am

    Drinking tea helps keep me going, plus getting up and walking around my office helps me keeping moving and focused on my work.

  35. Elle on December 10, 2014 at 5:18 am

    Any small exercise/activity energizes me

    Sometimes I don’t feel like doing it, but going outside and getting some fresh air always gives me some energy. Also, coffee ๐Ÿ™‚

  38. Jessica on December 10, 2014 at 5:56 am

    Caffeine, walking my dog, and happy thoughts boost my energy throughout the day.

  39. Tisha on December 10, 2014 at 5:58 am

    I work in a windowless office most of the time so I try to get out once or twice a day for a walk around the block. Vitamin D!

    Honestly…what energizes me during the day is reading your blog! You’re so active (both as a career but also in your personal life!) and that inspires me to do more!

  47. theresa J on December 10, 2014 at 6:39 am

    I try to eat well and that usually helps keep me energized
