I love hearing what other products and services people use (and speaking of, I have another Amazon Prime-ing post coming soon! I am loving that new monthly series and ordered several of the things y'all recommended with several others waiting their turn in my Amazon cart).
For today, though, I wanted to share a few other products and services I've been loving lately that aren't just restricted to Amazon Prime. These are all over the place! And as always, I will not share any products or services unless I have used them and truly recommend them. In fact, there are a few different products/services I am trying out as we speak and hope to be able to share more about them soon - just need to make sure they are working as well as I think they will. :) That being said, here we go: a few things I am loving lately and thought you may, too:

Vitacost. Have you guys heard of this? For the last six weeks, Bella has been on a strict diet and supplement regimen to address some health issues and vitamin deficiencies that were detected during a series of blood, urine, and stool assessments. A very kind friend (thank you, Ellen!) pointed us in the direction of vitacost.com, which is an AWESOME place to find vitamins, supplements, foods, beauty and personal care, etc., at fantastic prices. No kick-back for me here! Just wanted to share the love for those who may be on a similar wellness journey and looking to save some money when menu planning and/or ordering supplements. With the amount we are using these days, I'll take any price reduction I can get! :)
2ULaundry. Can I gush about my hub for a moment? As I documented in this lil' ol' blog last week, I have been having a bit of a rough time lately (aka driver of the struggle bus), feeling overwhelmed and frustrated and discouraged, all of which finally caught up to me a couple weeks ago. It was a really hard time for me. But my hub, my partner through it all, has been alongside me every step of the way and surprised me last week with an awesome service to try out to ease my stress for this week: It's called 2ULaundry. Which meant that, on Monday morning, I stuffed as much of our dirty clothes as I possibly could into the bags that the company had dropped off to us on Friday. I filled every nook and cranny of those bags with every single piece of my four kiddos' dirty clothing from the week. This means there was not a single dirty sock left behind. All of it was stuffed into the provided bags, which the company collected on Monday. And then Tuesday, just 24 hours later? Every single piece of laundry had been washed, folded, and dropped back off at my house. GAME CHANGER.
While I actually don't mind doing laundry, I will say that this was such a treat to have this week. And I will definitely use the service again, particularly during especially stressful times of the year (hmmmm....end-of-school madness anyone?!). ANYWHO, I absolutely LOVE this company and would LOVE for you to try them and would LOVE for you to use this code: https://www.2ulaundry.com/join-me/Clay/ref_id=/Luton1195. You'll save, I'll save, and we'll both end up with stress-free, clean laundry. Win-win! :)

Protein energy balls. This awesome family in our neighborhood just started selling the most delicious, filling, healthy, gluten-free, protein-packed energy balls. JBird Snacks offers free local delivery but also ships nationally, for my non-local buddies out there! As stated on their website, Jbirdsnacks.com, their "protein balls are made from simple, high quality ingredients to create the perfect taste and texture. A balanced protein blend satisfies your hunger and gives you the energy you need now and later." They have three flavor options (vanilla, chocolate chip, and mint chocolate), and I can personally attest that all three are divine! Check them out - I promise you won't be disappointed! In fact, I just ordered more two days ago and they were delivered same day!
Running tools. I don't think I've mentioned on here yet that I'm running my second half marathon next weekend! I've been training since January and am excited to get Race #2 under my belt. That being said, I wanted to share two things that have helped me SO much during the training/race process: The first is the app called 13.One. You can personalize it with your own training program, putting in the date of your race and then following the training plan it suggests as closely or loosely as you choose. It also tracks your miles, course, and time as you run.
The second is a product called UCan, which is a powder I mix with water and drink about 30 minutes before my long training runs. It's a "slow release complex carbohydrate that uniquely delivers steady, long-lasting energy" throughout my run that does not contain sugar or stimulants. I used it when I ran my first half back in October and will definitely be using it again next weekend! We buy ours from a local running store but it can be found online, too!

Books. I am doing well so far with my intention of reading two books per month this year. My March reads were The Kitchen House and The Glass Castle. And y'all...they are both absolutely FANTASTIC. I am giving each a solid 5-stars (not sure what rating scale I am referring to, but know that it's 5 out of 5 stars ;) ). Next up, I am diving into Next Year in Havana with my book club and already have several waiting in the wings after that! Will report back on those at the end of April.
Bloom Lash & MedSpa. My sweet, sweet friend, Amber, owns and operates this amazing business here in our sweet town. Local friends, I could not recommend her and the services she provides in her beautiful office any more highly! I saw her several weeks ago to have my eyebrows tinted and am doing it again next week before I soon take the plunge for microblading (see the brow before and after below!). Amber is the kindest, sweetest soul and is truly so talented at all she does! Be sure to check out Bloom Lash & MedSpa on Instagram and Facebook and book your treatments today! Maybe I'll see you there :)
Have a great Hump Day, friends! And please let me know of any products/services I just have, have, have to try!
