Hello friends! I’m back with another favorites post. I have a few products to share with you this month related to your health, healthy baking, and being cozy. All good things, right? Let’s go!
FreshCap mushroom supplements I’ve always been very transparent and open about my supplement stance. I believe in healthy eating, but know even the healthiest eaters will have nutritional gaps. I rely on supplements to help. There are a number of mushrooms that act as adaptogens. By definition, and adaptogen is “a natural substance considered to help the body adapt to stress and to exert a normalizing effect upon bodily processes.”
FreshCap is a company that creates supplements using a number of adaptogenic mushrooms that makes getting these benefits easier than trying to eat them regularly. The two products I’ve been consuming for about six months now are the FreshCap Thrive 6 capsules and the FreshCap Focus Instant Drink mix.
The Thrive 6 capsules contain a blend of Chaga, Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Reishi, and Maitake extract from “whole fruiting bodies.” There’s no added grains or fillers. This blend is meant to support your immune function (we ALL need this right now!), energy, and focus. They are made with organic mushrooms and is gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan, and Paleo.
The Focus Instant Drink Mix has 1700 mg of extracted Lion’s Mane per serving. It is also made with rose hips and peppermint. Peppermint helps with the natural earthiness of the Lion’s Mane and makes this a nice hot beverage to enjoy. Lion’s Mane is linked to improved cognitive function. I don’t know about you, but I feel like “mom brain” isn’t just a pregnancy thing and I definitely need all the help I can get to keep my brain in top shape.
So many favorites in one photo. Where do I start? How about I go from the bottom up?
Unity Leggings Oh boy. ZYIA Active came out with a new line of leggings, called the Unity line, and they are AMAZING. I’m not going to beat around the bush here. If you love Lululemon Aligns, these are for you. They are everything the Aligns are and more, and when you purchase from Zyia Active you’re supporting a small business owner vs. a big corporation. It’s a win-win.
I’m wearing the Maroon Unity Hi-Rise 7/8 and you can also get them in classic black. A few things to know about them: These are powder soft, matte, with a “bare feeling” when you wear them. They have encased elastic at the top, which means they stay in place and don’t roll! NOBODY wants to spend all day tugging up their leggings and you shouldn’t have to.
Finally, the same performance features that make Unity so comfortable for all-day wear also make it an obvious exercise choice. With adaptive stretch, sweat-wicking performance, and effortless breathability, this is a legging that can carry you from Sun Salutation, through the workday, out on the town, and back home again.
Treat yourself. They are $95 and worth every single penny. ZYIA has a 30 day return or exchange policy, and I cover the cost of returns for my customers. These fit true to size with that amazing bare feeling, or you can size down for a more snug fit. I can wear a 2 or 4, but I LOVE my true to size, 4, the best!
Next, the Black Lounge Boyfriend Cardigan is on my favorites list. This is a material that feels like cashmere but doesn’t come with a cashmere price tag. The material is so soft and cozy, you’ll find yourself wearing this to work, and then leaving it on as a lounging piece. It’s incredible. It runs large, so just make sure you size down. I’m wearing an XS in the photo above. If you are petite and/or have short arms, consider sizing down 2 sizes. I promise it will fit perfectly!
Lots of ZYIA Active pieces (especially the super popular ones like the ones I shared here) sell out often. Please comment here or email you if your size is out of stock and I’ll notify you when they restock!
Next, let your coffee mug be your hype girl when you need it. Or gift it to someone who deserves to feel amazing. This You’re Awesome Keep That Shit Up mug came from my ZYIA Active sponsor and I could not love it more.
I don’t know if the t-shirt is on my favorites list, but I do love that it came from Meghan’s closet. Am I ashamed that I am wearing my 13-year-old’s t-shirt? Heck no! It’s a Rolling Stones T!
Switching gears a little bit here. I’ve been using these stevia-sweetened chocolate chips in my recipes and recommending them that way for a while, but I haven’t formally talked about them. My kids LOVE chocolate and I end up adding chocolate chips to a number of their breakfast items as they say “chocolate makes everything better.” I can’t argue with that, but too much sugar with breakfast isn’t the best idea on a regular basis.
I was so excited to discover Lily’s Chocolate Chips that are made with no added sugar. They are sweetened with stevia and erythritol. Stevia is a natural, plant-based sweetener that has no calories. Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol that’s low calorie and low net carbs. The combination makes these chocolate chips low carb and keto friendly. They are gluten-free and vegan. I’ve been so happy making the switch to these! These Lily’s Sea Salt Extra Dark Chocolate Bars are a perfect after-dinner treat, too.
I would love to hear what you think of these favorites, as well as what kind of products you’d like to see featured in the future! Comment here or let me know on Facebook or Instagram.
