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!

    If I am feeling sluggish and unmotivated at work I take a quick walk around the outside of the building (weather permitting, I live in NY) or run up and down the 3 flights of building stairs a few times. It always wakes me up and helps me refocus!

  13. Joy on December 9, 2014 at 5:52 am

    My protein shakes always give me a burst

  14. Michelle on December 9, 2014 at 5:52 am

    To keep me energized I try to stay active and practice conscience breathing! Also helps with stress 🙂

    Plain iced tea is my quick fix during the day since my workouts happen at night after my kids go to bed!

    Trying to drink at least 100 oz of water throughout the day helps keep me energized, especially after being awake all night with a teething 8 month old:)

  35. Kelly Billiter Rabun on December 9, 2014 at 6:06 am

    What energizes me through the day involves my feet. Everyday, two of my coworkers and I have a walk around downtown at the normal 3pm crash time. This helps pick us back up and be ready to finish off the workday.

    Eating full meals and taking quick breaks to do something enjoyable for myself usually energizes me and helps me get through the day. I prefer to workout in the AM so I have lasting energy throughout the day.
