Starting the New Year Off with BabbleBox

This post is sponsored by Babbleboxx but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Recently I got to try a few new items with Babbleboxx. I’ve mentioned before, but January is a tough month. It’s the month after the holidays, and things are “less exciting.” Plus, it can be hard to get back on track with a routine or goals.

Babblebox sent over some things to make the New Year easier and help you get back into a routine and reach your goals.

What did they send over?

Shaklee:

Shaklee is a natural nutrition company founded by Dr. Shaklee. Believe it or not, Dr. Shaklee invented the first multivitamin in the US over 100 years ago, and her work is backed by over 110 published clinical studies. Important to me as well, but Shaklee focuses on sustainability! It was the first company to FULLY offset carbon emissions.

The Life Shake Soy Protein (French Vanilla): The Life Shake contains

• 6 grams of fiber
• 24 essential vitamins and minerals
• Non-GMO, vegan, and gluten free

My Experience with the Life Shake:

The Life Shake is a vegan protein powder. I appreciate that Life Shake is easy to mix. You can simply add to 8 oz of liquid and drink that way. I like to add mine with 8 oz of milk and drink after a run. One of my many goals of 2022 is to continue getting appropriate nutrition after a run, and the Life Shake makes it easy.

I find the Life Shake Soy Protein Powder to be the best-tasting plant-based protein powder I’ve tried to date. It’s not gritty and mixes well into any liquid I’ve tried. Plus, this vanilla protein powder tastes great too.

Collagen-9:

The Collagen-9 is the most complete collagen product with:

• All nine essential amino acids
• Non-GMO, Gluten-Free
• 10 g of collagen
• Combination of biotin and vitamin C

My experience with Collagen-9:

I’ve mentioned it before, but collagen is one of the few products I almost immediately notice a difference with. What makes Shaklee collagen different is it’s one of the few collagen products that contains all nine amino acids. You can use collagen for healthy skin or collagen for healthy hair, but it has so many more benefits. I’ve seen the benefits in my own life for both. I enjoy the taste of Collagen-9 and that it mixes well into whatever I need, from smoothies to baking.

Zebra Pen

Zebra Pen Corporation was founded in New York in August 1982. Now it’s a New Jersey-based company which you know I love. They make a wide variety of products, including a full line of writing a creative products, including ballpoint pens, gel pens, rollerball pens, mechanical pencils, highlighters, porous pens/markers, and brush pens.

You can also use the code RESOLUTION15 off (expires 3/6/2022).

My Experience with Zebra Pens:

I love the wide variety of colors they offer. As someone who lives in their planner, I have several colors I use on a daily basis. They also provide matching pens and highlighting colors. Finally, the Mildliner Highlighters are dual-ended and have both a chisel tip and a fine point tip.

Beetology

It’s no secret that one of my favorite foods is beets. At Beetology, they are obsessed with Beets too. Beets are good for your heart, blood pressure, and brain. The Beetology beet juices are made from Organic Cold Pressed Beet Juice. Why are beets so good for you? To name a few things, they are packed with vitamins and minerals associated with lowering blood pressure, fighting inflammation, increasing stamina, and boosting immunity.

Beetology Beet and Cherry:

What makes Beetology Beet and Cherry different?

• Three ingredients
• Cold press organic juice
• No Preservatives, Additives, Artificial Colors, Or Flavors.
• All-Natural, Organic ingredients, not from concentrate, and
  GMO-free.

Beetology Beet and Veggie:

• Five ingredients
• No Preservatives, Additives, Artificial Colors, Or Flavors.
• All-Natural, Organic ingredients, not from concentrate, and
  GMO-free
• 100% organic cold-pressed beet and veggie juice

My experience with Beetology:

I like the taste of beet juice, and I appreciate that there is no need for a blender. Beetology does all of the juicing for done for you.

The Organic Cold Pressed Beet Juice actually tastes good. They say beets are an acquired taste, but I think these are some of the better-tasting beet products I’ve had.

I find them easy to use and portable. I take them on road trips or after a hard workout when I’m not at home.

Tree Hut

Tree Hut helps keep your skin feeling great. At Tree Hut, they believe everyone deserves self-care without compromise. What makes Tree Hut Different?

• Paraben-free
• vegan
• sulfate-free
• alcohol-free
• contains no formaldehyde donors

Vitamin C Whipped Body Butter:

Tree Hut’s Vitamin C Whipped Body Butter is designed as a skin refresher. It is packed with Vitamin C, which leaves your skin soft and hydrated. Most people don’t realize this (I know I didn’t), but Vitamin C boosts skin for a brighter and more even tone appearance. AHA (known as Alpha Hydroxy Acid) is known to help create a fresher-looking tone. Plus, the natural shea butter helps deeply moisturize.

I’ve never used whipped body butter before but found it to make my skin really glow. As many people know, the chlorine dries out the skin, so the whipped body butter making skin feel fresher was welcomed. I am obsessed with the Vitamin C Whipped Body Butter.

Monday

If you are looking for a non-alocholic gin, Monday is a great choice. Monday is a brand designed to shake up the modern drinking experience. It tastes great but contains zero alcohol.

You don’t have to participate in Dry January to enjoy it. One of my biggest pet peeves, in general, is a lot of social events are based around alcohol. Choosing not to drink is a personal choice, and it’s no one else’s business why you did. There are so many different nonalcoholic spirits out there now.

Monday Zero Alcohol Gin:

Monday Zero Alcohol Gin is a bold zero alcohol drink. What makes alcohol-free gin different?

• 0 calories, no carbs, zero sugar,
• vegan, gluten-free, paleo and keto-friendly,
• big-8 allergen-free

My Experience with Monday Zero Alcohol Gin:

As mentioned, you can mix Monday in anything you would regular gin. I also like that it’s made in a Southern California craft distillery, not too far from me. Mix as you would any top-shelf gin. There are a lot of nonalcoholic drinks out there now; some taste decent…others don’t.

I truly couldn’t taste the difference between regular gin and Monday Zero Alcohol Gin. If you are looking for a non-alocholic gin product, it’s a great option.

You can save 15% off on Monday by using the code: HOLLIE15 (Expires 1/31/2022)

Thank you, Babbleboxx, for allowing me to try all of these products.
