Giving Back Has Never Been So ‘Fresh and Easy’

November 9, 2014 By lyndsinreallife 2 Comments

When I first moved to Pasadena, California, Fresh and Easy (F&E) became my all-time favorite grocery store. Healthy foods at great prices; what more could someone ask for? Now that I live in West Los Angeles, it’s a bit more of a drive, but completely worth it!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I received monetary compensation in exchange for promoting Fresh and Easy’s giving back bags. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

Fresh and Easy prides themselves on having healthier options (all F&E foods are free of high-fructose corn syrup, added trans fats, artificial colors or flavors) for less cost. They’re able to offer their foods at low-cost because all their stores are designed to save money! All stores use LED lighting and energy-efficient refrigerator doors. Plus their checkouts are all self-checkout, which means they save money by only hiring a few workers to help customers. It’s perfect because the shopper gets great products at great prices, plus there are just enough associates to help the customers!

My favorite thing about F&E is their prepared meals. I’ll admit cooking is not one of my hobbies. Between measuring the ingredients and the amount of time it generally takes, I am all for meals that just need heated up in the oven or microwave! F&E offers tons of options in the prepared-meal department; from Asian, to American, to Mexican, they pretty much cover it all!

This holiday season, Fresh and Easy is giving back through their Giving Back Bag program. Here are the details:

  • Purchase a Giving Back Bag at any F&E for $10
  • Every bag contains 13 essential, non-perishable food items, such as cereal bars, canned tuna and canned green beans.
  • You can either leave the bag at F&E for them to donate to a local food bank, or you can take it with you and donate the bag to a charity of your choice!
  • The program runs from 11/5-12/25 (2014).

It is that simple! Giving back has never been so easy. F&E does all the work for you, and you get to help people-in-need this holiday season!

In addition to my love for F&E, I love donating to people who need it. I’ve been donating my clothes to a community that’s less-fortunate for as long as I can remember. So of course I needed to head to my nearest F&E store and purchase a Giving Back Bag!

I went to the F&E Express in West LA. The express store has fewer items, but it still has everything I need! They even have organic dog treats and food, which is perfect for my puppy Archie. They had a great deal on coconut water (which is my favorite drink ever), but I settled for coconut flavored water because I wanted to try something new!

The Giving Back Bags were at the self-checkouts, and were already packed with goodies. F&E truly made it as easy as possible for people to donate. So we purchased our dinner (prepared fried chicken and garlic bread- SO good!), coconut flavored water, and a Giving Back Bag! All for under $25.


 

If you live near a F&E store, I definitely recommend getting some (if not all) of your groceries there, and purchase a Giving Back Bag (or two!) to donate to a local food bank! It truly is a fresh and easy way to give back. You can find store locations on their website here.

You can find Fresh and Easy on their website, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube!

So tell me,  

  • Do you shop at Fresh and Easy? If so, what is your favorite F&E product?

  • Would you purchase a Giving Back Bag? Who would you donate it to?

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:

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,

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!

April 21, 2014 By lyndsinreallife 7 Comments

I’ve got nothing but love for the company Delta Labs and their supplements!! I found Delta Labs through a fellow fit friend, and figured I would try it out. They currently have 8 different supplements- all for women, and all gluten-free! Some of them are vegan-friendly, as well!
