Run for a Rescue with the Doggy Dashers Virtual Run/Walk + Promo Code

September 13, 2015 By lyndsinreallife 1 Comment

If you follow me on social media, you’ll know how much I love my dog Archie. He’s pretty much my favorite thing in the world. If I have a chance to help him and his furry, four-legged friends, you best bet I’m going to!

Archie, my boyfriend, and I ran The Puppy Run 5k/10k a few months back, and Archie LOVED it! He loves running more than he loves toys, and he super loves toys. The Puppy Run was such a success that Gametiime decided to host the Doggy Dashers Virtual Run (Nov. 6-9) benefiting the Northwest Boxer Rescue (NWBR). NWBR’s mission is, “Every boxer deserves to live a happy life in a loving home.” Archie isn’t a boxer (he’s a toy poodle), but dogs are dogs, and we love them all!

Not only do you get to spend quality time with your pup, family, and/or kids, but you get to help doggies in need. Plus you get awesome swag! Check it out:

How JLo and BodyLab Are Focusing On Women’s Health

April 11, 2015 By lyndsinreallife 6 Comments

JLo. Fitness. Nutrition. Energy. Weight Loss. What do these things have in common? BodyLab.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary BodyLab product kit in exchange for an honest review on my blog. I only share products I feel my readers would enjoy. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

BodyLab Weight Loss Kit

First, let’s come back to JLo (aka Jennifer Lopez). We all know her. Fabulous singer, awesome actress (Enough is a classic, I don’t care how old it is!), sexy mama, successful author (affiliate link), and a fitness/health guru. She created BodyLab, a line of health and fitness supplements made for women, by women. Here’s what JLo has to say about BodyLab:

“In all of my work—my music, my films, my book, my foundation—I always strive to inspire women to be the best and happiest versions of themselves. I joined the BodyLab family not only because of their commitment to creating great health and fitness products for women, by women, but also because of their approach to the holistic lifestyle. It’s not a solution-in-a-bottle. It’s not a fad diet. It’s part of a health regimen that makes your metabolism work as hard as you do. It’s a way to love your body” (website).

The rad thing (can you tell I live in SoCal?) about BodyLab is how great the products are for women! Here are a few facts:

  • No added creatine
  • No ingredients that wreak havoc on your hormones
  • Plant-based compounds to help you burn through excess body fat, get lean, and feel amazing.

BodyLab also offers workouts, challenges, recipes, and a great community (more details on their website). They’re not just a company that sells you a product and says, “Here ya go, good luck!” They truly go above and beyond to set you up powerfully for a healthy lifestyle.

Alright, let’s get down to the products.

Tasty Shake Thermodynamic Protein Complex

BodyLab Tasty Shake Thermodynamic Chocolate

I used to drink protein shakes every day. I love the idea of them: simple, quick, nutritious. However, after years of the same shakes, I was over the taste. I got to the point where I couldn’t drink them at all. I was nervous to try Tasty Shake** for that reason, but obviously wanted to try it so I could give a proper review. With that being said, I LOVE this shake! I have the chocolate flavor, and it tastes like chocolate milk. Plus, it has a bit of caffeine, which is great for me since I’ve switched from soda to seltzer water and have difficulty getting the caffeine my body still craves. It’s really great as a pre-workout shake as well! Most of the products are plant-based, but note that the Tasty Shakes are whey protein. Each serving contains 15g whey protein and 90 calories. Side note: the label says to mix with water, but I mixed mine with almond milk for more flavor.

**Tasty Shake comes in regular vanilla, regular chocolate, and thermodynamic chocolate (with caffeine).

7-Day Ultra Fast Slim Kit

BodyLab Ultra Fast Slim Detox Women Weight Loss

This kit is pretty awesome. I get nervous about “detox” kits because of how they tend to mess up the flora in our guts and cause more harm than good. They often don’t offer a probiotic with the detox. BUT, BodyLab does!!

  • For the first seven days, you take two of the triple process detox and cleanse capsules in the morning and two in the evening with dinner. These capsules help reduce belly bloat and waste buildup so you feel lighter and more energized.
  • In addition to the detox capsules, you take two of the thermodynamic Total Burn™ capsules in the morning and two in the evening with dinner. The Total Burn™ capsules are powerful fat burners that increase metabolic rate and enhance energy.
  • After completing the first seven days, you then take the probiotic replenishment capsules. You take one each day for seven days. The probiotics help to restore the natural flora in your gut, allowing your digestive system to work properly.

I really liked this Ultra Fast Kit! It didn’t cause emergency runs to the bathroom, but I could definitely feel a difference after the seven days! I felt lighter, less bloated, healthier, and more energetic.

I also received a full-size bottle of the Thermodynamic Total Burn™.

Endurance Boosting Deep Tissue Oxygenator

 BodyLab Endurance Deep Tissue Oxygenator Weight Loss

The deep tissue oxygenator enhances endurance, increases speed, improves VO2 max, and optimizes performance. It is stimulant-free! You take two capsules one hour before your workout. These capsules definitely helped me to have a better workout each time I took them! I especially love that they’re stimulant-free. The Total Burn™ has enough caffeine for me.

Advanced Joint Formula For Active Women

BodyLab Joint Supplement Women

The joint formula helps reduce joint stiffness, and also increases range of motion. It is PERFECT for yoga! Well, for everything, but yoga is my fave. You take one capsule in the morning and one in the afternoon or evening. I didn’t realize I’d be needing a supplement for my joints at age 27, but I do. My hips and knees are in poor condition and are always really stiff and sore. The pain doesn’t go away with this supplement, of course, but it does help to diminish the pain!  Yoga is a bit less painful now. 😉

BodyLab also has a Thermodynamic Pre-Workout Extender™ and a Total Shape Up Kit (All-in-One 30 day system).

How Do I Purchase BodyLab Products?

You can find BodyLab products in various retail stores or order them online.

BodyLab Women Rite Aid Store I found these in Rite Aid in LA and got really excited haha


DISCOUNT!!

If you’d like to order online, BodyLab has graciously offered 25% off any BodyLab product + FREE shipping to my readers/followers!! That’s a pretty stellar discount if you ask me. Simply visit BodyLab.com and enter code tbb25 at checkout to receive the discount and free shipping. There’s no expiration date on this code, so be sure to use it any time you place an order!


Also, if you purchase the BodyLab Shape Up Kit, you’ll get a free signed copy of JLo’s book True Love (while supplies last; affiliate link). The Shape Up Kit is on sale for $99 right now, too. Awesome, right? Check out the YouTube video of this promotion below:

 

 
BodyLab creates their products with love for women, which is obvious when you look at the capsules:

Alright friends, it’s time for me to take my supplements and make my Tasty Shake so I can get my yoga on. Thank you as always for reading my blog! Don’t forget to follow BodyLab on social media (even for the workouts and recipes alone!). You can find them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ and YouTube.
So tell me,
  • What types of supplements/shakes do you take?
  • Do you prefer/avoid certain ingredients?

Chase Infinite Inspirational Fitness Tanks + A Discount Code

August 13, 2014 By lyndsinreallife 8 Comments

I was scrolling through Instagram the other day and came across an account that really stood out to me: Chase Infinite. Chase Infinite is a fitness apparel company that makes inspirational workout shirts for women and men. Women’s tops are tanks, and men’s tops are tee shirts. We all need a little inspiration during our workouts, right?!

Their website gives a description of who they are:

“We believe in people. Tall people, short people, women, men – everyone. We believe all people can change their lives for the better each and every day. We believe in chasing dreams… but we believe more in catching dreams and living them. We believe in underdogs, long shots and last hopes. We believe in the extra mile, the last rep and digging deep. We believe in following your heart, sweating like crazy and pushing yourself past your limits. We believe in honesty, commitment, dedication and loyalty. We believe the most important step is the first one. We believe in motivation. We believe in hard work. We believe in setting goals, achieving them and then setting new ones. We believe you should chase the good things…and that the chase never ends.”

I had a really hard time choosing which tank I wanted to get, because they are all SO awesome! I decided to go with the SWEAT: She Will Endure All Things tank. I love the colors and the saying. I feel I made the right choice!

It was a a little challenging trying to get a good selfie, but hopefully this gives you an idea! Here’s an image sent to me by Chase Infinite showing off the SWEAT tank a little bit better:

Chase Infinite SWEAT Workout Tank 4 This chick definitely rocks this tank!

The tank is super comfortable, and fits really well! I have a hard time finding tops that fit comfortably because I am a triple D cup (it’s not pleasant haha), but I was able to wear this tank while working out and also while sleeping! It’s THAT comfortable.

Another awesome thing about Chase Infinite:

“Chase Infinite believes it’s about more than just motivating athletes and our company can help change lives. You’ll notice each of our shirts is connected to a charitable organization working to improve lives and the world. We’ll donate a $1 from each shirt sold to a relevant charity. We’re currently working with the American Heart Association, Freedom Is Not Free and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and hope to grow this list. Chase Infinite is about more than shirts and motivation – it’s about making people’s lives healthier, better and more fulfilling.”

Isn’t that absolutely amazing?! It’s one thing to make great fitness apparel, but it’s another to donate proceeds to charity. I am all about companies that give back.

Chase Infinite is obviously super giving, and they have offered all my followers a discount code to use!! You can head over to chaseinfinite.com and use promo code STRENGTH to get a tank for $20 + free shipping!! Each tank is regularly $26, so you’re saving $6 plus the shipping cost. Amazing, right?!


 

Don’t forget to follow and tag Chase Infinite on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Tell them Lyndsay from The Balanced Brunette sent you!

You can check out my Instagram too, where you’ll see my picture of my SWEAT tank + the hand-written note Christopher from Chase Infinite sent me (always chase your “dreams” relentlessly… and strive to be awesome in all that you do). Seriously LOVE this company!!

  •  Have you ever heard of Chase Infinite? Do you own any of their apparel?
  • Is it important to you to buy from companies who give back to the community?

XO,

Lyndsay


Disclosure: I did not receive any monetary compensation for this review. I received a 30% discount on a tank from Chase Infinite, along with a discount code for my followers, in exchange for an honest review on my blog. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. Thank you Chase Infinite for the opportunity!
