Friday Finds June Edition

It's that day of the week: Friday! Time for another round of Friday Finds!

First up are Hustletics leggings. I have a thing for leggings. I just love them and cannot get enough so I was excited to try a new-to-me brand. Their core value is centered around hustling to reach your goals - giving your all and not settling. They created this apparel brand to provide tools for people to hustle without spending their whole paycheck. A standard pair of leggings runs about $39 and they currently have a few pairs on sale. I tried the Flow leggings in the Tiffany color. I really like the vibrant color. They come a bit above the ankle and fit well. They are high waisted but not ultra high waisted like some other brands I've tried. The material seems pretty good (but not on lululemon level). I would say they are pretty comparable to several other popular brands. My only complaint is that they have no pockets. Other than that, I'm a fan! They ship worldwide so check them out here: https://hustletics.com/

Energy drinks are sweeping the nation. I've tried a few new ones that didn't impress me much but one that was pretty good is the 3D energy drink. I tried the white and I can't describe the flavor but it was good lol! It clocks in at 200mg caffeine (about 2 cups of coffee) and 15 calories. If you like to try new caffeine sources, I would give it a shot!

If you follow fitness accounts on Instagram, you've probably seen Bowmar Nutrition popping up everywhere! They have collagen, pre-workout, creatine, BCAAs, whey protein and more! So far I have tried the Dragon Fruit Pre-Workout and the Sour Cherry BCAAs. The preworkout definitely gives me that caffeine kick and the tingly feeling! It tastes sweet and good. The BCAAs are so delicious which is pretty much my reason for drinking them! They have a lot of fun sounding flavors in their products so I hope to try more eventually!

Do you drink a lot of caffeine? I'm trying to reduce it, but for now...preworkout and energy drinks lol!

Have a good weekend!

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
