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.)
These are the flats I’ve been living in this fall.
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!
Here’s how to enter this giveaway:

Drinking lots of water helps to energize me throughout the day!

Music always helps energize me for the day!
I start off with coffee in the morning and try to switch to tear or water for the rest of the day!

A glass of water and a brisk walk help to energize me after a morning in front of the computer.
I drink lots of water and tea

And of course I follow you on pinterest!
During the work day I use music to keep me energized. Loving Christmas music this time of year!

Music and yoga help me to stay energized and grounded.
A 20 min nap does the trick for me.
Working out always energizes me!
Working out in the morning helps me!
Starting my day off with a nice hot and sweety yoga sesh always makes me feel more grounded throughout the day…that and an emergency cup of coffee if things get really nuts. I find that even decaf works for me as it is more about taking the time out for the ritual:)
Walking my dog several times a day forces me outside and into fresh air. Always energizes me!
An afternoon cup of tea keeps me energized.
Music keeps me energized-I love Pandora to be able to switch it up!
Water always gives me a good boost. If not, then either a quick set of push-ups or a nap. I check in with myself before determining what end of the spectrum I land on in that moment.
A little bit of diet coke keeps me energized… maybe not the healthiest, but I’ll take it!
This sounds strange but the silly look on my dogs face keeps me energized (and smiling) most of the day. 🙂
Exercise and healthy eating helps energize me throughout the day!
Taking my dogs for a walk over lunch always gives me the energy to get through the day!
Walking for at least half an hour helps me get more energy!
I love getting outside for some fresh air and a quick walk (ideally a long walk, which is tough with 2 kids and short daylight hours!). These shoes look amazing!
I follow you on Pinterest! I love “crafts I’ll never do”. Haha!
getting out in the sunshine several times of day helps me stay energized
Lots of water and some dark chocolate espresso beans energize me 🙂
Coffee and workouts. When I’m at work I need to be busy (but not overly swamped) to get me through the 12 hour shifts.
Energizing for me is my morning shake!
Energizers: a morning run and that first cup of coffee!
Coffee is my #1 energizer!
I stay energized by drinking lots of water and lots of coffee. 🙂 Fresh air always does the trick too so I run during the day with a co-worker!
Am following you on Pinterest!
Getting outside in the sunshine always works for me!
