I try to eat healthy, but sometimes I am not the best at making healthy choices (especially on the road), so I like to find foods to have on hand for those emergency moments.

As everyone gets settled into their school routine, grabbing a Mamma Chia drink should be on your agenda. They’re perfect for your walk to class or just when you need a little something or a pick me up.

 I even took them with me this past weekend on a trip with college friends. They have also been my go-to whenever I finish a yoga or pilates class.  I noticed this past week a couple girls picked them up afrter hearing me rave about Mamma Chia and have been drinking the Chia Squeeze prior to class.

Chia Squeeze comes in six fabulous flavors. 
• Strawberry Banana (Love)
• Green Magic (not a fan – but green juice just freaks me out)

Review: Come Clean

Come Clean Pop Culture Soap create natural, paraben-free, sulfate free soap for your pup and is scented with essential oils leaving them not only clean but smelling fresh as well.

You can get the soaps in three different scents
Lemon Eucalyptus (Anti Flea and Anti Tick) 
Lavender Coconut (Moisturizing)
Bergamot Sage (Calming)

Since Jack tends to get on the drier side when the weather changes I decided to give the Lavender Coconut soap a try. Jack gets a bath every Sunday and I have been using the same liquid shampoo and conditioner with him since I got him. I thought that switching to a bar just to try it out might be “torture” to him but actually it wasn’t and he wanted to eat it because it smelled so good.   The soap lathered up beautifully and smelled AMAZING. I wanted to use it on myself.  The soap rinsed out of his fur quickly and the despite him running in and out of the gardens chasing bunny rabbits the smell lingered on him for a good five days.  

Definitely check out Come Clean if you’re interested in trying a new product on your pup.

What’s a holiday without a festive cocktail? Below is my favorite spa water recipe that you can either leave virgin or amp it up with some vodka.


What you\’ll need:
Sparkling Mineral Water 
Strawberries
Lemons
Blueberries
Ice Mint 

For the kids and I (virgin recipe): Squeeze some lemon into your mineral water. Next add blueberries and strawberries. Allow to marry for at least two hours. Serve over ice and garnish with a mint leave.  

For the Adults: Follow the recipe above but add a couple ounces of your favorite vodka and mix well.

A Healthy Detour

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Detour Bar. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I always like to keep a snack of some sort in my purse. You never know when you’ll get hungry and a bag of nuts or a bar is a lot less calories than a quick stop at the local mini mart or fast food joint.  

Since I recently found out that I have a gluten allergy I jumped at the opportunity to try out Detour Bars. The bars truly are a “snack” bar with 130 calories, 10 g of protein, low in sugar and a good source of fiber. They’re soft, chewy and have a Greek Yogurt drizzle – yum! They’re the perfect on the go snack and are now a staple in my purse (along with almonds). Not to mention if you need a sweet fix I highly recommend the Apple Cinnamon bar!

Blueberry has a slight blueberry taste as well as blueberry pieces in it. The bar is on the sweeter side and definitely makes for a great snack especially after a workout or if you are craving something sweet.

The Apple Cinnamon is delicious and by far my favorite. With chunks of apples through the bar paired with the perfect amount of sweet. I have been eating these when I have a serious craving for ice cream or chocolate and what I love is that it actually fills me up instead of leaving me wanting more.
