Easy Tips for a Healthy Lifestyle
February 6, 2018This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com.
If you’re a regular reader around here, you know that last year, I decided to change my lifestyle around. I started exercising several times per week, make smart food choices, keep my stress levels under control and prioritize my sleep at night. Today I am excited to share with you some of my best healthy lifestyle tips and also discuss several new products I’ve been loving recently.
With the winter games right around the corner, I am more committed than ever to continuing my healthy lifestyle journey. I’m so excited to watch all these athletes competing at the top of their game. It’s definitely motivating me to take simple steps for a healthier future.
Easy Tips for a Healthy Lifestyle
1. Rely on smart snacks!
I am on-the-go every single day so it can sometimes be challenging to find a convenient, delicious snack during the day. I recently discovered popchips Peanut Butter nutter puffs. They have a wonderful taste. They remind me of everything I love about peanut butter – all packed into one easily snackable puff.
popchips Peanut Butter nutter puffs are the perfect marriage between salty and sweet. I love that they are made with real peanut butter and feature an impressive 5 grams of protein per serving. They are also gluten-free and free of artificial ingredients. Compared to other snacks, popchips Peanut Butter nutter puffs have been my go-to snack solution for busy days. I love that they are perfectly portable, packed with protein & super delicious. With only 130 calories per serving, this is a healthy snack that I can enjoy without guilt. If you ask me, that is #peanutbetter!

2. Enjoy some downtime!
On most days, it seems like I am running around from morning until night, taking care of errands, finishing projects and managing the household. Staying so busy can certainly feel overwhelming at times. That’s why I like to schedule in some downtime every so often. I will grab my favorite magazine, put my feet up and enjoy some White Claw® Hard Seltzer in my sun room.
It’s a simple pleasure that really helps me recharge and unwind after a busy day. I love that this beverage combines the simplicity of a seltzer with the fun spike of BrewPure™ alcohol, along with a touch of natural fruit flavor. The result is a refreshing, low-calorie drink free of artificial calories. With only 100 calories per serving, this seltzer is certainly waistline-friendly. By the way, it’s also low in carbs and free of gluten so it’s the perfect alcoholic drink for the health-conscious. This seltzer is available in multiple flavors: Black Cherry, Ruby Grapefruit, Natural Lime and Raspberry. I tried the Ruby Grapefruit variety and it was deliciously refreshing! Find this product on the White Claw website here.
3. Focus on wellness!
Another thing I am passionate about is maintaining good health by taking various wellness products on a regular basis. I recently discovered BEE & YOU Royal Jelly Raw Honey. There are many Royal Jelly health benefits, including boosting the immune system, increasing energy & performance, enhancing collagen production and increasing focus. This product has definitely become part of my daily arsenal of wellness products.
I love that this raw honey is unfiltered and unpasteurized so all nutrients are maximally preserved. Did you know that this raw honey is biologically active and contains essential proteins, carbohydrate, oils and vitamins? This honey is truly perfect for my active lifestyle. I simply drizzle some raw honey into my morning cup of tea. By the way, it’s also delicious in my fruit smoothies!

4. Battle cold & flu season!
During cold & flu season, keeping my immune system working at peak levels is essential, especially with two kids in school full-time. I recently discovered BEE & YOU Propolis Raw Honey Throat Spray. It contains propolis (a natural bee product), which contains over 80 times the antioxidant power of pomegranate juice. In fact, propolis features antibacterial, antibiotic, antiseptic and even anti-inflammatory properties.
By supporting the immune system, this throat spray helps to treat throat irritations, coughs, colds and flu. I will be keeping this throat spray on hand for the next few months & throughout the year.

5. Exercise several times per week!
Staying physically active on a regular basis is essential to a healthy lifestyle. I try to work out by heading to the gym at least 3-4 times per week. Even when I don’t have time to head to the gym, I try to keep my activity levels up by parking farther away from the store, having dance parties with my daughters, and finding creative ways to work out. One workout must-have for me is my music – I simply cannot exercise without it. In my gym bag, you can always find my music player, AirPods and PodPocket (AirPods case).
The PodPocket is the perfect holder for AirPods. It includes a reinforced key ring hole, along with a premium key ring & clasp. It provides a secure fit thanks to the high-grade silicone mold. Plus, the open access along the bottom makes it easy to charge and store the AirPods. Learn more about & purchase a PodPocket here.
I hope these tips have inspired you to lead a healthier lifestyle in 2018. Are you excited to check out the winter games? Which is your favorite sport to watch? Have you tried any of these products?
Snacks have always been my downfall. I love to snack throughout the day and I have made some bad snack choices over the years. It is all about smart snacking.
Smart snacking is essential!
I need that throat spray during this time of the year. I had a sore throat last week and I sure could have used it. I need to stock up!
My throat was sore several weeks ago. I wish I had this on hand then. At least I’m prepared for future colds!
Yum, all of this sounds delicious! I would especially like that raw honey. I am working on getting healthier this year by drinking more water.
Drinking water is a great first step. I like to flavor my water with fruits & herbs for a quick boost!
I am definitely trying to live a healthier lifestyle to share. I have done pretty good but I could definitely use some more pointers. I will have to do a lot of these tips.
Glad these tips have inspired you! Thanks for visiting!
Down time is important, as is self care. One of my goals for this year is to give myself more downtime and the opportunity to enjoy it.
Great tips! Those Nutter Puffs look like something I need to try.
Yes! I agree, having great products is key to taking good care of yourself. I love everything listed here! Those nutter puffs look amazing and I love the honey. We find local raw honey for allergies and you can’t beat the taste!
That royal jelly looks so good! All of my friends have been talking about royal jelly recently and now I’m totally inspired to try it out.
I haven’t seen those Popchips peanut butter puffs yet. They look like they would be really tasty.
I am also more committed to taking care of myself this year. I am in my 40s and I’d like to grow older gracefully. I eat moderately and choose healthier ingredients. I exercise regularly too because I feel better when I sweat.
Having a healthy lifestyle is one of my goals this year and I love what you have just wrote. Couldn’t agree more on this. Thanks also i was able to read this. Great reminder for me to be much motivated.
I’m totally sick right now. Not with the flu, thank god, but with a nasty cold I pray doesn’t turn into a sinus infection.
Love all the tips that you shared! It’s really nice to live healthy and to follow a healthy diet. Those snacks sound really good.
What some fantastic tips! I have to admit I am loving the sound of that honey. There is something so delicious about a good quality honey with all it’s benefits.
Kudos to you for continuing your healthy journey. I desperately need some Royal jelly. As I type I am struggling to breathe out of my noise.
I’m so paranoid about the flu. I want to boost my immune system anyway I can.
We get our honey to a friend who has a big farm and harvest their own honey, it’s much better tasting than the ones you buy from the store. Never tried those crunchies before.
I love bee products. Bee and You has some really awesome reviews!
Looks like it was a really great box! I really want to try the Bee Products and the Nutter Puffs!
Good shout out for healthy lifestyle. Just eat good and exercise . Thanks for sharing
