How I’m Getting Healthy in 2018 with Great Lakes Gelatin® Collagen

February 14, 2018 By lyndsinreallife 6 Comments

This post is sponsored by Great Lakes Gelatin and Fit Approach.

Every new year, I tell myself I’m going to get in shape and get healthy. Well, 2018 is definitely the year!

I have a few things on my side for a healthy 2018: I’m running (and training for my first half marathon), I’m eating healthier (and eating for MY body), and I’ve started using Great Lakes Gelatin® collagen hydrolysate.

What is Collagen Hydrolysate?

“Hydrolyzed Collagen is a unique protein devised of a combination of amino acids. It is the nutritional link in supplying amino acids like glycine, proline and lysine that are required by the body to build connective tissue. Science says that up to 30% of all the protein in the body is collagen and up to 70% of the proteins in the connective tissues are composed of collagen.” – Great Lakes Gelatin® website.

I recently learned that these amino acids are important because our bodies can’t produce as much connective tissue after age 25. Well, I’m about to turn 30, so I very clearly need to take collagen!

Collagen has been and will continue to support my half marathon training. It promotes growth in our muscles, cartilage, ligaments, and blood cells. There’s a huge difference in my running and recovery since taking collagen. I love it! My mile time is getting shorter, and I’m not in as much pain as I previously was. The collagen hydrolysate has been perfect. It’s odorless and tasteless, plus soluble in hot and cold liquids, so I mix it in my coffee. And I never have to worry about not having collagen, because it comes in easy to-go packets!

I’ve also been cooking healthier dishes! I’m excited to spend the year trying out recipes and coming up with fun food ideas. I’m also getting back into green smoothies/juices. I found a great recipe for a green smoothie on the GLG website: the LEAN AND GREEN SHAKE WITH GREAT LAKES GELATIN® COLLAGEN HYDROLYSATE.

Getting healthy in 2018 is really important to me. Like I mentioned before, I’m turning 30 this year. Eek! I can definitely feel my body aging, and it’s not only frustrating, but also very eye-opening. I’ve realized that I need to take my health seriously. By using GLG collagen, I’m taking the necessary steps to be my healthiest yet!

Check out my Facebook Live review + how GLG is helping me reach my 2018 goals here!


I can’t forget to mention GLG Collagen Endurance. Collagen Endurance provides amino acids, vitamin B’s, natural flavor, and colors. They are used in a variety of necessary cell reactions and can be metabolized to provide energy! I love the product not only because it gives me a boost of energy (that I desperately need), but it also tastes amazing!

Great Lakes Gelatin®, in partnership with Fit Approach, is graciously offering a 20% discount on GLG products! Simply enter code GLGLife20 at checkout. This code expires March 15, 2018.

Why Trees & Plants From Commercial Silk Are The Way to Go

November 21, 2017 By lyndsinreallife 10 Comments

This post is sponsored by Commercial Silk Plants.

I’m terrible at keeping plants alive. Like, the worst. The only thing I’ve kept alive is my cactus from 2015, and even then, it doesn’t look great! I heard about Commercial Silk Plants and decided silk plants are perfect for me!

I decided to order a bamboo tree. I’m really into trees and plants from other areas, because desert plants in Las Vegas can be so boring (except the saguaro cacti!). I wanted something that would stand out a bit. This tree stands about 4 feet tall and fits perfectly on my balcony.

The tree feels so real! It’s unbelievable. I’ve seen artificial plants before, and it’s so obvious that they’re artificial. But this tree, this SILK tree, looks and feels real. It’s amazing! Just look at these leaves and the bamboo stalks:

I’m not getting a Christmas tree this year, so I’ve decided to decorate the bamboo tree and have a festive, fun Christmas! Why not create my own traditions, right?

About Commercial Silk Plants

Commercial Silk Plants is the leader in the manufacturing of indoor/outdoor boxwood and hedge panel related products exclusively for commercial projects and the wholesale trade.

Our goal has always been to produce the world’s finest, most authentic artificial trees and silk plants for commercial projects. Our broad experience in the interior landscaping business has enabled us to build and install the most natural looking artificial plantscapes in the industry (website).

I highly recommend Commercial Silk Plants for your wholesale needs, and Silk Plants Direct for direct retail!

The Perfect Father’s Day Gift for Las Vegas Lovers

June 15, 2017 By lyndsinreallife 2 Comments

This post is sponsored and contains affiliate links.

I moved to Las Vegas, NV a little over a year ago, and I’ve grown to love this city and all its art. I found a poster of the city of Las Vegas through ModernMapArt (aff. link) and I had to have it!

This Las Vegas poster shows thousands of streets in Las Vegas, with the different widths representing the sizes of the roads. It’s printed on museum-quality, thick, matte paper and uses UltraChrome ink. The poster is also fingerprint resistant. You can get it in white or red!

I framed my 16×20″ white print and hung it above my TV in my living room. It’s the perfect focal point!

This print comes in multiple sizes: 8×10, 12×18, 16×20, 18×24, and 24×36. The price ranges from $29.99 USD to $79.99 USD, depending on the size.

I highly recommend this print for all Las Vegas lovers! It’s a great gift, whether it’s Father’s Day, a birthday, or Christmas.

You can get your Vegas poster here.  It takes about 3-5 days to process and another 3-5 days to ship if in the US (ships worldwide, though!). It does not come with a frame, but I got mine on Amazon (aff. link) for about $15 and it fits perfectly!

A Dog’s Purpose; How The Film Made Me Realize #MyDogsPurpose

May 2, 2017 By lyndsinreallife 3 Comments

This post is #sponsored by Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
I’m what some people like to call a “crazy dog mom.” I have a 3 year old toy poodle, Archie, whom I love and adore. After adopting him, my life changed in the most wonderful way. When I saw the trailer for A Dog’s Purpose (2017), I knew it was a must-see for any dog parent/lover/admirer! It truly got me thinking about #MyDogsPurpose; what is Archie’s purpose in this world?
**Some spoilers ahead!
For our partnership with Universal Studios Home Entertainment, we were able to get the Blu Ray disc of A Dog’s Purpose a few days early. So, Archie and I decided to have a movie night together! I made a pizza for me, and shared chicken jerky treats from Emma Lou’s Kitchen with Archie (use code BAILEY for 10% off your order!).
I could give my review of the film, but that wouldn’t be in true nature of a film told from the perspective of the dog. So instead, I bring you Archie’s review of A Dog’s Purpose:

“Mom made the dark square bright, and all of a sudden, there were creatures like me! There were dogs and humans, running and playing and laughing. I like to do those things with my humans.
—
The first dog was a red retriever (my mom likes these kinds) named Bailey who became best friends to a boy named Ethan. Bailey stayed by Ethan’s side throughout his whole boy/teenage life, up until Ethan was 18. Bailey helped Ethan meet girls, deal with family issues, and go through heartbreak. I think Bailey’s purpose was to be a best friend to Ethan and help him grow into a man.
—
The fluffy retriever disappeared from the bright square, and there was a German shepherd on the screen. This version of Bailey was a police dog (and a girl this time!) named Ellie. Ellie’s purpose was to help the sad man feel less lonely, and also help him catch bad guys. I liked Ellie.
—
The big German shepherd went away, and there was a tiny corgi named Tino. He looked like my friend Troy. I was excited to see Tino. Tino was owned by a beautiful college student who didn’t have any friends. She wanted to have a boyfriend, but didn’t know how to meet someone. Tino helped her when he found a dog at the park whom he liked; and that dog’s owner was an old college buddy of hers. Everyone was in love, and it made me think of all my girlfriends who live past the big door. Tino’s purpose was to help his owner find love and happiness.
—
Lastly was Waffles, who then became Buddy. Waffles was a stray, but then he smelled and found Ethan. Ethan called him Buddy. Buddy seemed happier than ever, and was on a mission. I don’t want to spoil it, but Buddy’s purpose was to help Ethan find love and happiness (just like he did as Tino), and bring old friends together.” ~Archie

After watching A Dog’s Purpose, I thought about what Archie’s purpose is in this life. Archie came to me at a time when I was really lonely, and I needed a friend. I needed someone to love me unconditionally, and give me puppy kisses at any time.
Archie teaches me to love and be kind to everyone. He teaches me to live in the moment. He helps me make friends. He shows me what it means to care about someone/something other than myself. That’s #MyDogsPurpose.

A Dog’s Purpose is available now on Digital HD and is coming to DVD & Blu-ray on Tuesday, May 2nd.

Share your dog’s purpose using the hashtag #MyDogsPurpose & #ADogsPurpose to the official A Dog’s Purpose Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Beat The Winter Dryness with Maple Holistics Avocado Oil (+ Free Sample)

January 31, 2017 By lyndsinreallife Leave a Comment

Living in the desert during the winter can be brutal to my hair and skin. It’s cold and the humidity is under 10%, causing my hair to frizz and break apart, plus cause my skin to be incredibly dry. I’m always searching for a natural moisturizer that isn’t oily, but actually WORKS. Luckily, I’ve recently discovered Maple Holistics Avocado Oil!

avocado oil maple holistics blog 2


Disclosure: I received a free bottle of avocado oil from Maple Holistics, in the hopes that I’d review it on my blog. No monetary compensation was received. All opinions are my own.

Maple Holistics, a beauty and skincare company based out of New Jersey, prides itself on being:

  • Made In The USA
  • All Natural
  • Cruelty Free
  • Sulfate Free
  • Safe for Color

They have products ranging from shampoo, to body wash, to skin serums. I was really excited to try the avocado oil for two reasons: hair/skin therapy + I love avocados! I know avocados contain healthy fats, so I imagined they would help my hair/skin too. What’s great is that this avocado contains nothing but avocado oil! It’s 100% pure avocado oil. It’s also cold-pressed and refined.

avocado oil maple holistics blog

The suggested uses for this avocado oil are:

  • Lightly massage into skin, especially dry areas.
  • Apply directly to scalp as a hair conditioner, or add drops to shampoo before applying.

I really like using this avocado oil on my elbows (really dry areas) and as a conditioner once or twice a week. It’s made such a difference! Mind you, I color my hair, and the avocado oil doesn’t strip the color at all (check out this article about their purple shampoo, which is great for colored hair).

My boyfriend likes to use the oil for his beard, which is usually super scratchy and coarse (but not anymore!).

Get The Benefits of Olive Leaves by Drinking Olife

October 4, 2016 By lyndsinreallife 1 Comment

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by EVERGREEN LIFE.

Many of us use olive oil when cooking. Not only does it taste good, but it’s good for you! Olive oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) are considered a healthy dietary fat, as opposed to saturated fats and trans fats. But did you know there’s another way to get the benefits of the olive leaf without using olive oil? It’s called Olife.

Olife (1000 ml), created by EVERGREEN LIFE, is a liquid drink that is made of pure olive leaves. It contains 93% of (OLIVUM®), EVERGREEN LIFE’s exclusive olive tree leaves’ water infusion is rich in Oleuropein, Elenolic Acid, Rutin, Tyrosol, and the antioxidant Hydroxytirosol. Olife also contains Calendula Officinalis, which fights menstrual cycle cramps and it improves the functionality of the digestive system. It’s concentrated, so you only have to drink a little bit at a time (recommended half a glass, of 70 ml). You can also drink it diluted in water. I really like it!

Olife olive oil

I like to drink Olife every day as part of my healthy lifestyle. I take a glass bottle of water with me to work every day, so I started adding Olife to it. That way, I make sure it becomes a healthy habit. I like to dilute it so it’s not as strong of a taste.

I love the benefits of olive leaves: it improves blood circulation, lowers cholesterol, metabolizes lipids and carbs, and also improves my hair and skin. But honestly, I don’t like olive oil. My boyfriend cooks with it all the time, but I don’t like the smell. So finding Olife was awesome! There’s really nothing easier than drinking the benefits.

Olife Olive Oil back   Olife nutrition facts

 

It’s recommended to drink 1/4 cup (60 ml) of Olife before breakfast every day. Always ask your doctor before starting any supplement regimen, especially if you’re pregnant or nursing. Store in the refrigerator after opening and use within 15 days. Olife is certified vegan.


Follow EVERGREEN LIFE/Olife on Facebook and Twitter, and on their website. You can buy Olife for $50 USD here.

  • Have you tried Olife? Is it something you’d add to your daily routine?

I’m Getting Wedding Ready With This In-Home Pedicure Tool

September 12, 2016 By lyndsinreallife Leave a Comment

I’m maid of honor in my best friend’s wedding this Friday, which is super exciting! I’ve been getting “wedding ready” … you know, figuring out hairstyles, deciding which makeup to use, spray tan, and of course, a pedicure! Pedicures are awesome. My favorite part is when they shave the dead skin/callouses from the bottom of your feet. It sounds gross (and kind of is), but if you’ve ever had a pedicure, you understand how great it is. This is where Emjoi’s Micro-Pedi comes in handy.


Disclosure: I received an Emjoi Micro-Pedi for product testing from Lipton Publicity. No monetary compensation was received. All opinions are 100% my own.

Pedicures can be pricey. They generally last one month. If you have $40+ to drop that often, then that’s great! But if you’re like me, you don’t. So I choose to do my own pedicures. 🙂

First, I use a foot bath. I like the Conair Foot Spa with Vibration and Heat (affiliate link/photo shown below).

 

Then I use Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Footsoak (affiliate link/photo shown below).

 

I soak the skin on my feet with the foot bath, exfoliate with the tree tea oil scrub, dry off my feet, paint my nails, and then use the Micro-Pedi.

emjoi-micropedi-callous-remover

It’s incredibly easy to use, and my feet feel like a baby’s bottom when I’m done. It doesn’t hurt (though sometimes tickles); just make sure not to keep it in the same place for more than 3-5 seconds. You simply move it back and forth over the desired areas, and voila! It feels just like it would at a nail salon.

Also, it’s much safer than the metal scrapers they use at the salon. So that’s a big plus!

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association website, “Your feet must last a lifetime and most Americans log an amazing 75,000 miles on their feet by the time they reach age 50.”

Great looking, smooth feet are youthful, more alluring, comfortable and imperative for health, sports participation and grooming.

Here’s my left foot before using the Micro-Pedi, and after ONE USE!

micropedi-before-and-after

Pretty amazing, am I right?

The Emjoi Micro-Pedi costs $39.95 on the Emjoi website (with free same-day shipping), or you can get it for $14.95 (with Prime shipping) on Amazon (affiliate link).

How I’m #AwareWithPink with AfterShokz Trekz Titanium Pink Headphones

September 6, 2016 By lyndsinreallife 4 Comments

When I was an audiology student, we often talked about head/ear phones and how they’re pretty bad for your hearing. They often cause hearing loss (because the loud sound is too close to your ear drum). One rule of thumb is that you should always be able to hear the people around you. If you can’t, your headphones are too loud. So naturally, when I heard about AfterShokz bone conduction open ear headphones, I was pretty ecstatic to use them! Especially learning about their #AwareWithPink campaign (read below for more!).


Disclosure: As a #SweatPink ambassador with Fit Approach, in partnership with AfterShokz and its #AwareWithPink campaign, I received a pair of Trekz Titanium Pink headphones (and case). No monetary compensation was received. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. Some images courtesy of AfterShokz.

AfterShokz’s Trekz Titanium Pink headphones, initially developed for military special operations and law enforcement company Voxtech in 2001, use bone conduction, meaning the ear pieces sit on the cheekbone right in front of the ear (the transducer), not IN your ear. The frame should loop over the ears, with the band resting behind the head, close to the neck. We are able to still hear the sound this way because all sound is are vibrations at different frequencies and wavelengths that travel through our ear to our brain. While the most popular way to hear sound is through our ears directly, bone conduction works just as well! #BeOpen #HearItAll

AfterShokz Titanium Trekz Pink

What’s really cool about using bone conduction headphones is that it leaves our ear canals completely open. This means we are still able to hear everything going on around us! I can have music playing through my headphones, and still have a conversation with my boyfriend. I can hear him clear as day. The most  important aspect of this, however, is that when I’m outside walking or doing yoga, I can hear what’s happened around me. If someone is coming up behind me, I can hear them. If there are sirens, I can be aware. If someone is trying to get my attention, I’m not oblivious (and I don’t look like a jerk). Being able to hear what’s happening around us makes  us, and using headphones, much safer! Pretty amazing, right?!

Trekz Titanium Pink #AwareWithPink AfterShokz Trekz Titanium Pink #AwareWithPink

Trekz Titanium Pink are IP55 rated – which technically means you can hose them down and they’ll survive. Don’t go swimming with them, but rain and excessive sweat won’t do damage!

The headphones are wireless and work through Bluetooth®. Everything is controlled through the buttons on the headphones. The power, volume, play, pause, skipping songs, and phone calls. The sound is incredibly clear and sharp. Also, the battery stays charged for 6+ hours!

#AwareWithPink

The limited edition Trekz Titanium Pink not only help you be more aware of your surroundings, but also aware of breast and ovarian cancer. How, you ask? Well, for every unit sold through October 31st, AfterShokz will donate 25% of proceeds to Bright Pink – a non-profit that focuses on breast and ovarian cancer awareness and education! We’re making a difference by being #AwareWithPink. Every time #AwareWithPink is used on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, AfterShokz will donate an additional 25 cents to Bright Pink to extend the awareness.

AfterShokz Trekz Titanium Pink

I’m pretty passionate about women’s cancer awareness and education; I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2009 (two days before my 21st birthday). While cervical cancer is not part of this campaign (it’s often non-fatal), I believe that awareness of any type of women’s cancer brings awareness to all cancers. That’s why being #AwareWithPink and spreading the word is really important to me.

AfterShokz and Fit Approach are hosting an Instagram challenge during the month of October (the 1st through 31st). Follow AfterShokz, Fit Approach, and myself on Instagram for more details as we get closer!

How I #FeelAmazingEveryday with Amazing Grass Protein Superfood + GIVEAWAY

July 12, 2016 By lyndsinreallife 25 Comments

Disclosure: As part of my #sweatpink ambassadorship with Fit Approach, participating in the Amazing Grass campaign, I received a full-size Amazing Grass protein superfood canister and monetary compensation. All opinions are my own.

 I try to be active and #FeelAmazingEveryday, even in the Las Vegas heat. I really enjoy yoga and Pilates, and running in the evening (after the sun goes down). Now that I have a pool at my apartment complex, I’ve taken on swimming. I love it!

I like to wake up every day and throw on my prAna bathing suit. Then I make my Amazing Grass smoothie. I need to make sure I get all the fuel and energy I can before swimming; it takes a lot out of me, and if I don’t fuel myself properly (or hydrate!), it’s easy to get dizzy, pass out, or even suffer from heat exhaustion.

amazing grass blog #sweatpink summer Amazing Grass Blog #sweatpink

I’ve tried numerous protein powders in the past, but none like Amazing Grass. What makes it so different? Here’s a few reasons:

  • AG is a protein superfood: 20g of plant-based protein with greens, fruits, and veggies (with only 110 calories per serving).
  • Superfoods are nutrient-rich foods high in antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals, and are considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being (health.com).
  • AG is USDA organic.
  • AG is non-GMO.
  • AG is gluten-free.
  • AG contains no added sugar.
  • AG contains 7 alkalizing greens (wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, spirulina, chlorella, broccoli, &spinach).
  • AG contains pea, chia, quinoa, & hemp protein, making it plant-based and vegan.
  • AG contains fruit & veggies such as beet, carrot, sweet potato, goji, acai, banana, & more.
  • AG is made in the United States, with select ingredients carefully curated from around the world.

amazing grass protein superfood   amazing grass protein superfood benefits

Amazing Grass makes it super easy to get all the nutrients I need to fuel my body throughout the day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? So why not have a breakfast full of protein, fruits, veggies, fiber, vitamins, and minerals?

I like Amazing Grass, but it’s important to note that since it contains superfoods, it has a bit of a plant taste. The powder I received is vanilla flavored, and you can definitely taste the vanilla, but the superfood taste stands out. It’s a different taste than powders with soy or whey protein, but Amazing Grass powder has so many superfoods (and is vegan), so it’s to be expected! The benefits definitely outweigh the plant taste.
