My favorite cleanser + a giveaway
Hey everyone! Happy humpday ๐ Hope your day is going well!
I started mine with a lovely breakfast cookie:
This beauty had:
-1/2 cup oats
-1/2 scoop vanilla Sun Warrior brown rice protein
-1 T almond butter
-1 smashed banana
-vanilla hempmilk
-sea salt
-stevia
-1 T raw cacao powder
-mesquite
-foodgasms ๐
The puppers and I practiced some of their tricks:
and I was off to work!
I only had one appointment this morning, and then I hopped on the elliptical for 30 minutes with the new issue of Womenโs Health ๐ A new magazine always makes cardio fly by!
Well, itโs finally time for the fun beauty product giveaway! First, I thought Iโd tell yaโll about my favorite cleanser ๐
****Note: I bought this product with my own dinero at Sephora, which is why itโs going on the main page of the blog
Juice Beauty Exfoliating Cleanser!
I always carry some kind of Juice Beauty cleanser with me in my gym bag. Since their products are organic and super gentle, they donโt mess with my sensitive skin but are strong enough to get off makeup and gym grime ๐
This face wash is creamy and the exfoliating beads are not harsh at allโI can use it daily without irritating my face. It also gets eye makeup off pretty well, and doesnโt have a โsmellโ to itโitโs pretty much fragrance free, except for a light fresh scent.
Hereโs a little bit about Juice Beauty:
-Their products contain an antioxidant-rich 100% organic juice base, which provides vitamins, nutrients, and powerful polyphenols that help revitalize and protect aging and problem skin
–None of their products contain parabens, petroleum, tars, pesticides, sodium lauryl sulfates, phthalates, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances
-Theyโre extremely eco friendly! Juice Beauty uses recycled packaging, 100% recycled paper and cardboard, 80% of their products are produced with solar power, and wtheyonly purchase ingredients from USDA certified organic farms
And on top of that, every Juice Beauty product Iโve tried, Iโve fallen in love with. Itโs the only makeup and skincare brand that I know will work well with my skin, and it feels good that itโs organic and environmentally friendly as well ๐
Since Iโm such a huge Juice Beauty fan, I wrote to the company and requested a little sumthinโ sumthinโ so a lucky Fitnessista could enjoy the Juice Beauty goodness.
Want a full-sized bottle of my favorite cleanser???
Just CLICK HERE for your chance to have the same cleanser pictured above (except yours wonโt be half empty, haha)
Iโm off to lunch with the girls, then on the prowl for Ugly Christmas sweaters ๐

Todayโs tip: For juice, itโs ideal to drink it within 20 minutes after the juice has been made to get the maximum nutrients (this doesnโt hold true for swanky wanky places like Liquiteria, who press their juices instead of pulverizing themโpressed juices are good for much longer). If you wonโt be able to drink your homemade juice right away, just toss it in the freezer until your ready to enjoy it ๐ I have half a freezer full of beet and apple juice, and coconut water ๐
Do you eat your breakfast cookie cold or do you ever warm it up a little?
That breakfast cookie looks delish!
I literally just made my first breakfast cookie! I can’t wait to try it tomorrow ๐ Great giveaway!
Do you know why the nutrients only last that long or why pressed lasts longer than pulverized? Just curious ๐
I need to make a breakfast cookie in the next few days. I haven’t had one in far too long. Yours sounds like a fabulous combo. Have a wonderful day!
Totally want to try the cookie, but no protein powder. It looks like it might be okay without. You think? I have been meaning to order some Vega.
it will totally be ok without ๐ just use a little less milk
Luv the pups..xoxo to them!
Enjoy!
I’ve never seen that cleanser before. Looks great! Thanks for the recommendation. ๐
Just wondering if you would recommend pineapple juice? A trainer recently told my mother to drink pineapple juice right after a workout because it replaces electrolytes and helps to prevent soreness in the muscle.
yes pineapple juice is great, but i recommend coconut water more for electrolyte replacement ๐
I’ve never made my own juice before, but the more I see it, the more I want to do it. Thanks for the tips!
are these products vegan? i dont think you said anything about that? im always looking for more choices that are animal friendly, thanks for this chance!
all of their products are vegetarian and a lot are vegan, but the one i’m giving away is not vegan — just vegetarian
bluggles for the muggle equiv. of non-bloggers!! That is brillant. It’s also like a two-fer cool-o-meter, you know, you can casually drop “bluggles” in front of someone, perhaps a new acquaintance, and you can instantly test if they are down with blogs and HP all in one fell swoop. It’s bascially like a litmus strip for badassness. I’m also super impressed/intrigued by your gingerbread project. Do you have any ideas for a raw or healthier cinnamon roll? happy hump day!
haha glad you like the bluggles term ๐
and no i haven’t thought of a raw cinnamon roll yet, i’ll work on it ๐
I love your blog!! Any good suggestions for an eco-friendly body lotion that also smells good???
LOVE ugly sweater parties. they are THE best.
