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!

    Taking a few minutes for myself during a busy day energizes me

  8. Ingrid on December 10, 2014 at 6:05 pm

    I have to be honest – for me, it’s totally coffee!

  9. Monica on December 10, 2014 at 6:11 pm

    Drinking water throughout the day keeps me hydrated and energized!

  10. Tari Lawson on December 10, 2014 at 6:58 pm

    Starting my morning of with some quiet time, prayer and reflection is always a good start. And my cup of tea!

  16. S. Dodorico on December 10, 2014 at 7:47 pm

    a walk on my lunch break. Getting outside for some fresh air and sunshine is a great pick me up.

  17. Tracy on December 10, 2014 at 8:34 pm

    A good night’s sleep and if not that then some play time with my Yorkie!

  18. Robin on December 10, 2014 at 8:38 pm

    Coffee in the morning and then just staying active throughout the day. Once I relax, it is the end of me for the day!

  19. Laura C on December 10, 2014 at 8:51 pm

    Taking a walk outside, no matter the weather! It’s the fix to just about anything.

  20. Kelsey on December 10, 2014 at 10:10 pm

    Taking a short walk during the day helps me re-energize.

  21. Lisa on December 10, 2014 at 10:29 pm

    Morning coffee! And some good music.

  22. Hannah on December 11, 2014 at 3:15 am

    Coffee!!

  23. Caitlin C. on December 11, 2014 at 3:45 am

    Drinking lots of water throughout the day!

  24. Amy on December 11, 2014 at 4:50 am

    Coffee in the morning and lots of water throughout the day.

  25. Wendy Heath on December 11, 2014 at 5:51 am

    Coffee!! Lots of coffee….

  26. Lauren r. on December 11, 2014 at 6:04 am

    Coffee of course! And maybe a bite or two or three of chocolate!

  27. Bridget on December 11, 2014 at 6:25 am

    I feel energized when I drink plenty of water! {Rushes off to whip up some spa water….}

  28. Lisa on December 11, 2014 at 6:52 am

    Taking a step back from the daily hustle to just be grateful really does energize me. Caffeine helps too 🙂

  29. trenda t on December 11, 2014 at 6:54 am

    Coffee and my two young sons!

  31. Jocelyn S on December 11, 2014 at 7:28 am

    Regular exercise is the thing that keeps me going! I’ve taken a few days off for rest and, after a few days, am feeling the lack of my morning workout! Also, a square of dark chocolate 🙂

  34. Jenn on December 11, 2014 at 8:04 am

    I have a baby and a toddler that suddenly doesn’t like to sleep at night. Coffee keeps me energized right now…

  35. Mya on December 11, 2014 at 8:26 am

    Besides the usual caffeine, one thing that keeps me energized throughout the day is getting up and walking around. I work a desk job. I get some really bad energy slumps, but I have been more focused in getting up and walking around. I’ve been aiming for 8k steps a day in just regular walk (not counting exercise of any sort) and so far I’ve been doing well. I think i’ll be ready to up it soon!

  36. Mya on December 11, 2014 at 8:27 am

    Of course i follow you on Pinterest! I’ve been several of your pins myself =)

    • Mya on December 11, 2014 at 8:27 am

      Well, that was supposed to say *pinned

  37. Erin (Running Tall) on December 11, 2014 at 9:29 am

    I’m doing Gabby B’s 40 day May Cause Miracles plan and I’m finding that taking a few minutes at lunch to go over a few mantras and focus my mind has actually really helped energize me!

    Also, coffee 🙂

  39. Megan on December 11, 2014 at 9:31 am

    Drinking lots of water throughout the day energizes me

  40. Michelle on December 11, 2014 at 10:09 am

    Getting up and moving energizes me!

  41. mary ellen on December 11, 2014 at 12:35 pm

    working out in the morning energizes me for my day!

  42. Arianne on December 11, 2014 at 1:57 pm

    Getting to see those I love at the end of the day is what keeps me going!!

  43. Astrid on December 11, 2014 at 4:41 pm

    Coffee!

  44. Jane S on December 11, 2014 at 4:42 pm

    Drinking water really helps me stay energized throughout the day! Thanks for the giveaway!

  45. Laura on December 11, 2014 at 6:43 pm

    Spending time with friends energizes me (and keeps me sane!)

  47. cassie on December 11, 2014 at 7:20 pm

    I try to be active every day, ideally that would include a yoga class or a run but I’m happy with anything that gets my heart rate up and a little sweat going, including a stroll with my pups.

  49. Gabi on December 11, 2014 at 7:31 pm

    Working out really energizes me!

  50. Caitlin on December 11, 2014 at 8:14 pm

    I have a desk job, so making myself take a couple short breaks during the day to get up and take quick walks helps my energy so much!
