- GROVE.CO I’ve been using Grove.co since 2017! I am pretty obsessed. If you are looking for a way to lessen your carbon footprint and get earth friendly products shipped directly to your door – this is the place! I love this company. It’s a subscription service, but you can push your cart whenever you want. It’s wayyyy better than using Amazon. They have stuff for home, skincare, pets, baby, etc. You can use my referral code to get a FREE gift set of Mrs Myers (another one of my favorite brands!) Just click here.
Some of my other favorite products I purchase from Grove.co:
-
- Hello Natural Toothpaste – Finally a natural toothpaste that works & doesn’t taste like garbage.
- Signature Brush Set – Love these makeup brushes
- Hydrating Hand Sanitizer – The Blood Orange smells so good. I have it in travel size and a large pump.
- Reusable Produce Bags- Huge fan of these and finding ways to make our lives more sustainable!
Fitness
- ClassPass! My girlfriends and I started using ClassPass back when it first launched and I lived in NYC in 2014 and I am still a member!! If you’re in a workout rut, sick of your routine or not in a routine at all – you can try an online class or in-person! I love ClassPass cause you don’t just have to commit to one studio, you can take everything from Barry’s to Pure Barre to even use your credits towards facials or spa appointments like a well deserved massage. Check it out here.
Fun
- Taylor Tomlinson. She seriously makes me laugh. That is one of my favs from her. She also has a Netflix special called Quarter-Life crisis.
Productivity
- Working in Pomodoros! Want to get more stuff done in your day? Using the Pomodoro Technique has helped me immensely. I’m otherwise easily distracted by my millions of open tabs, texts, etc. If you don’t know what the technique is it’s basically a way of working that keeps you focused and will help you get SHIT done! It’s traditionally 25 minutes of work on one task and 5 minutes off x 4 and then a 30 minute break. I LOVE it. I’ve passed this technique onto many of my clients and use it in our group work sessions and everyone gets loads done. Pro tip: make sure to do some stretching and get up and move around on your 5 minute break – that helps to keep me motivated!
