Alphagen pre-workout supplement by Morphogen Nutrition

Alphagen pre-workout supplement by Morphogen Nutrition
I typically don't believe pre-workout supps are necessary and have never been a big fan... until now. Alphagen by Morphogen Nutrition is the pre-workout drink that has changed the way I train. My last 3 PRs (deadlift, bench, and deadlift again) were fueled by Alphagen. I feel like it's more of a clean energy, which means no shakiness or feeling like a complete spazz. It's potent so 1/4 scoop once or twice a week before really tough sessions is perfect for me!

From beauty products and fashion, to food and supplements, these are some of my favorite things...

This primer is absolutely incredible. It has just the teensiest bit of subtle glow to give you that beautiful dewy look without making you look like a disco ball. I used to want the most matte look possible for my skin and now I realize that is ridiculous because it makes my skin look positively dead. This primer, with a little bit of Tarte's cheek stain, topped off with Laura Mercier's loose powder makes for one heavenly and glowing complexion! I don't know if I'll ever be able to part with this stuff!

Steve's Original PaleoKit
 Steve's Original makes the incredible, oh-so-deliciously-edible PaleoKit! It is full of grass-fed, gluten-free beef jerky, nuts and dried fruit. Perfect for you, your kids, on-the-go snacks, or traveling. Steve's Original has a ton of other delicious products too, like plain beef jerky, grain-free granola cereal (Cinnamon Swirl is to die for!), and grain-free granola bars. It's rare that I plug prepackaged products, but this is the exception to the rule! And it gets even better - 15% of the proceeds from all of Steve's Original products goes to benefit Steve's National Club, which is a 501(c)3 charity that helps at-risk and underserved children's fitness! You will love their products and they benefit a great cause!

Dr. Bonner's virgin, unrefined, organic and Fair Trade coconut oil

Cook with it, slather it on your skin, or eat it straight out of the jar like I do. 
This is the best coconut oil I've used!

New Balance Minimus Trail MT10

I absolutely love my New Balance Minimus MT10, not to be confused with the MT20. The MT10 is quite a bit more flexible and they are heaven in a shoe. I deadlift, squat, run hills and train daily in these. They have the wonderful functional sole of the Vibram without the hideous esthetic.

Smashbox Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss in "Infinite"
I have dozens and dozens of tubes of lipgloss but nothing compares to this. 
The perfect shiny nude that lasts for hours!


I love aromatherapy and Aura Cacia essential oils! Every night before bed I burn the lavender oil while I read, and I burn the Pep Talk oil almost daily at the office. They have a huge selection for anything you want to enhance from relaxation to energy, from creativity to happiness!
Lavender benefits: Aromatherapy benefits: balancing, soothing, normalizing, calming, relaxing, healing.
Pep Talk benefits:  refreshes the senses and clears away the grogginess; the delicious aromas of orange and lemon are an invitation to the unique possibilities the day can bring.
