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!

    Starting my morning with a tough workout energizes me. And coffee. Coffee helps, too.

  4. Mollie Kimmel on December 9, 2014 at 6:10 am

    a kombucha or workout!

    A morning workout before work!

  7. Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious on December 9, 2014 at 6:10 am

    Something that keeps me grounded is my daily fitness whether it be running, swimming or lifting weights doing something active every day keeps me feet sturdy and head clear.

  8. Stephanie on December 9, 2014 at 6:11 am

    Drinking a lot of water throughout the day and some coffee in the morning! 🙂

    Getting up every so often and moving around keeps me energized

  12. Cori on December 9, 2014 at 6:12 am

    Getting a good night’s sleep makes all the difference for me.

  13. Crystal on December 9, 2014 at 6:13 am

    A workout helps to energize me when I feel sluggish.

  14. Krista on December 9, 2014 at 6:13 am

    Reading at lunch time. It helps me to unplug from work for a bit and feel energized to get back at it afterward.

  19. Katelin on December 9, 2014 at 6:13 am

    Sleep and coffee!!! Could not live without either!

    A good workout and a hot cup of tea!

  22. Amber s on December 9, 2014 at 6:13 am

    1cup of coffee in the morning and a green juice with lots, lots of ginger in the afternoon gives me a pep in my step! Great giveaway!! I have had a pair of these flats on my wish list for a long time. Have a wonderful day Gina 🙂

    A workout and somedays extra coffee! 😉

  26. Liz on December 9, 2014 at 6:14 am

    I would used to say coffee energized me throughout the day but I’ve cut way back to one cup. Now a good breakfast with protein in it helps energize me!

  27. Caroline M on December 9, 2014 at 6:14 am

    I’ve never heard about these type of shoes but I love the idea! Being barefoot makes me so happy and I love the feeling! Getting a workout in – running or BodyPump – keeps me energized throughout the day!

    Green tea is my go to for energy during the day but a nice early workout session doesn’t hurt either!

  31. Karissa on December 9, 2014 at 6:15 am

    Turning on the radio or plugging in my iphone and turning on my favorite song energizes me! Blank Space by Taylor Swift is doing the job currently 🙂

  32. Jenn on December 9, 2014 at 6:15 am

    Going out for a quick walk on my lunch break at work. Especially now that it’s so cold.

  33. Anna on December 9, 2014 at 6:16 am

    Having goals I have to accomplish each day keeps me energized throughout. If I don’t have specific things I need to cross off the TO DO list, I’m in danger of just staying in my PJs all day!

      On days when I am at work, I take a walk around the duck pond for a quick pick-me-up. It’s refreshing to see and hear water while living in the southwest.

  36. Corey on December 9, 2014 at 6:17 am

    Working out! I usually work out on my lunch break and it amazes me how much energy I have in the afternoon!

  37. SC on December 9, 2014 at 6:19 am

    My never-ending cup of green tea is my energizer (I just keep reusing the tea leaves throughout the day).

  38. Chelsea on December 9, 2014 at 6:20 am

    Taking the time to actually sit down and eat lunch with my co-workers! Taking a few minutes to laugh and take a break always makes the afternoon easier to get through.

  39. Stephanie on December 9, 2014 at 6:20 am

    Drinking lots of water keeps me energized!

  40. Victoria on December 9, 2014 at 6:20 am

    A good run or just taking a dancing break in the middle of the day definitely energizes me!

  41. Jessica on December 9, 2014 at 6:20 am

    A big bowl of oatmeal gets me energized every morning…and coffee 🙂

  42. Emily on December 9, 2014 at 6:21 am

    cycling class always wakes me up in the afternoon!

    A good song always helps me feel energized. Me and Spotify get along great at work 🙂

  46. Elise B on December 9, 2014 at 6:23 am

    Walking my dog helps me feel energized after a long day at work!

  47. Jessica W on December 9, 2014 at 6:23 am

    1. Taking 15min breaks every couple hours while I work to stretch and rest my eyes, 2) Getting good sleep the night before, 3) Eating “fuel-ish” foods (as opposed to a lot of sweets) 4) Keeping a grateful perspective throughout the day 🙂

  48. Alana on December 9, 2014 at 6:24 am

    My Young Living essential oils energize me, including the Peppermint that I added to my hot chocolate 😉

  49. Laura T. on December 9, 2014 at 6:24 am

    Getting my workout early in the am helps to keep me energized through the day!!
