​Essentials for a FUN Summer!

Looking to get away to a tropical paradise or enjoy the Summer exploring your city? Whatever you decide to do this Summer, we have selected a few items that will help you look your best, feel your best and help with all your Summer adventures! ​

A Summer Cleanse 

Summer is a great time for getting in shape! A great way to aid that process is to detoxify your body. The LEMONKIND 1 Day Cleanse is a great way to cleanse using juices! You can cleanse your way to a NEW YOU with a delicious and healthy one-day juice cleanse. Their juices include appetizing flavors like Blueberry Cinnamon Chia, Turmeric Carrot Gingerade and more!

Healthy Supplements 

Health is very important, especially this summer with the Coronavirus lurking. You want to be sure that you stay healthy by taking the right  vitamins and supplements. Tru Niagen is a supplement that supports cellular defense which helps your body fight off infection by increasing NAD+ levels. mitoQ is another great supplement that delivers targeted antioxidant support to your mitochondria which supports organ health! If you are looking for vitamins for your kids check out JoySpring, they have a great selection of natural liquid supplements to keep kids healthy and focused! 

Healthy Food 

Staying healthy this summer means eating healthy! The USDA recommends eating five to nine servings of vegetables per day! The preparation of vegetables is key. Adding too much oil and saturated fats can quickly turn healthy options into bad ones. That's why we recommend the new Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer which does air frying, slow cooking, sauteing and much much more! 

Instant Caffeine 

-Why spend countless $$$ at Starbucks or other coffee chains when you can have nearly instant coffee or espresso at home? The new Instant Pod Coffee allows you to pop in your favorite K-Cup pod or Nespresso capsule and brew coffeehouse flavor into every single cup! It is from the makers of Instant Pot and offers six cup sizes; a large tank for less refilling and can fit travel mugs! 
If you want caffeine FAST check out Neuro! They have gum and mints that are specially formulated with natural caffeine, L-theanine, and B-vitamins to help you to stay focused on your goals! They also give you enough caffeine to give you an energy boost throughout the day! 

Summer Cocktails 

Avoid heat waves and deadly viruses by concocting delicious and refreshing cocktails at home! Make a refreshing Watermelon Margarita at home using Bandero Tequila! This smooth Tequila is made from 100% Agave grown high in the eastern Los Altos Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico! There are also many other cocktails that you can make using Bandero like a Tequila Sunrise, Mayan Mule and many more! Vavoom Vodka is rated as one of the top Vodkas in the world! This gluten-free, five times distilled premium spirit comes in a stunning handcrafted bottle and makes the perfect bar display! Bitters are a great addition to any cocktail and The Bitter Truth has all the bitters you need to create a refreshing perfect potable! They also have a wide range of liqueurs that will suit any fancy. 

 Summer Sips

Sparkling wines and Rosé always reminds us of summer! Light refreshing wines, sparkling wines and anything you can share and enjoy! This summer enjoy a sparkling sip of Mionetto Prosecco! We also highly recommend a glass of refreshing Los Vascos Chardonnay while enjoying a beautiful summer day! If you enjoy red wine, we recommend a glass of Pinot Noir from Bottega Vinaia or a rich red Briccotondo Barbera Piemonte or Château Greysac Cru Bourgeois! It seems that one glass of wine always turns into many when enjoying good company. You can avoid any wine headaches with PureWine's The Wand! It filters out histamines and sulfite preservatives so you can enjoy wine without any side effects!  

Hydration 

Even when it's 90 degrees outside, most of us don't drink the recommended eight glasses of water a day! If you are like us you don't keep count of how many water you have drank throughout the day. That's why we use a Motivational Water Bottle that shows us exactly how much to drink and motivates us to keep drinking all day long!

​If you're not a big fan of drinking water or it gets boring, Pure Inventions is here to help with their flavored water infusion drops! When added to water these drops add antioxidants and plenty of flavor - making water fun and delicious to drink! 

Stay HEALTHY and hydrated with KÖE Kombucha! These USDA organic beverages are packed with probiotics and flavor! Available in five fruity flavors, these drinks make for a healthy soda swap option to take on any summer adventure. Whether it be a beach trip, shopping excursion, or a hike. KÖE was created for non-kombucha drinkers – people seeking a delicious, functional, sparkling beverage without the vinegary taste. Formulated with just 9g sugar and 35 calories in a can, KÖE is shelf stable, perfect to take on-the-go.

Healthy Skin

Healthy skin is important year round, however in the summer when you are out and about you need to make sure to cleanse, hydrate and keep your skin healthy! The No B.S.
