Let's go ahead and start with WWW food favorites. Like I said, I do have quite a few this month starting with the first one that needs to go back in my freezer. And these are my new favorite thing in the entire world. It's from the brand Applegate Naturals and these are the chicken and maple breakfast sausage patties. Now I know that they make links as well but I love the patties because they are perfection for breakfast sandwich. I love to have these in my little high protein breakfast bowl that I share all the time on my channel. It is a good sized patty and it is only 60 calories and you're getting five grams of protein. So that is not bad at all. And like I said, I pair this with hash browns and egg and cottage cheese in this amazing breakfast bowl. I've been loving this on an English muffin with an egg and cheese. I'll actually share my favorite cheese with you next but these are amazing. So if you can find these, definitely recommend. I found them in the freezer section of Walmart. And this is my favorite cheese. It has been the cheese I've been obsessed with lately and this is from Sargento. This is the reduced fat pepper jack. Now they make quite a few different reduced fat cheeses. Sargento also makes the thin sliced cheese but I like this one on my breakfast sandwiches. It's so good with that sausage because it's the sweet kind of spicy of the pepper jack cheese. This cheese is 60 calories of slice. It has 33% less fat than traditional cheese. You're going to get another five grams of protein. So between the sausage patty and the cheese, I'm at 10 grams of protein and this tastes just like regular full fat cheese. I absolutely love it. It is not thin slice. It's a regular slice of cheese. Love it. Love, love, love. This is my all time favorite cheese. Now I've shared these in a video before I actually share them in my what I eat in a day all the time. I think I may have shared them in a favor. It's a long time ago but these have become a new favorite. A new favorite favorite. I've been eating these daily. These are from Alyssa's Bakery. These are the healthy oatmeal bites. These are gluten-free, non-GMO, high fiber, no added sugar. You get two cookies for 90 calories. They have lots of fiber. They have protein. These are so good. They're like little teeny oatmeal cookies and you get two of them for 90 calories. I've been liking having these as a snack with some protein. I've been making a lot of snack plates or if I want something sweet, this is a great option because it's all the cookie vibes but with fiber and protein. I buy these off of her website. I know that you can find these in some health food stores like Sprouts Whole Foods in some areas. My area does not carry these. So I just buy them off of her website. I usually buy eight little tubs at a time. I get free shipping and I just store them in my freezer. I love these. Now if you watch my videos, you already know that this is something I have every single day. I have fallen in love with this. This is from the brand Herbalife Nutrition and this is their high protein iced coffee. 100 calories, 15 grams of protein. You know I make a protein coffee using this. I actually have a reel on Instagram how I make the protein coffee but it's 35 grams of protein in this coffee. So it's two scoops of the Herbalife Nutrition high protein iced coffee. It comes in mocha, coffee flavored and caramel macchiato. I have them all, they're all delicious. And then I do one scoop of protein powder typically clean simple eats. I add a few inches of my drag up cold brew, mix that all together, top it with water and ice and you have a 35 gram delicious high protein iced coffee. You can also make this hot or blend it. I will be doing a full video on different coffee drinks that you can make that are high protein. I'm actually really excited about it. I've been picking up little bits and bobs for that video and one of the staples in all of the drinks is this iced coffee mix. So I will link this down below for you. You can even mix two scoops of this with water and it's a hundred calories, 15 grams of protein. I've been doing that a lot post-hiking. I put the powder in my shaker cup. I'll be sharing my new favorite shaker cup with you here in a little bit. Mix it with some water and it's a delicious little iced coffee packed with protein. So highly, highly recommend at the Herbalife iced coffee high protein mix. I've also been loving these. Now these are the Ux Pretzel packs. These come out at Halloween and Valentine's Day. Typically at Target, I will say that I saw these at Walmart as well. These are so convenient. It's one half of an ounce, 50 calories of the little Ux Pretzels and the Ux Pretzels are the best. I love them. They're so salty and so crunchy. I love that these are pre-portioned. You can take them on the go. I can't tell you how many times I eat this walking to the gym because it's a good source of fast-acting carbohydrates for my workout and the Pretzels are so good. They're pre-portioned and a half of an ounce serving. If you want a full ounce, eat two. You can dip these in hummus, peanut butter, Pretzels in cheese, Pretzels in apples. I love them. Love, love, love them. I bought two huge boxes before they're gone. Speaking of crunchy snacks, this is another thing I've been loving. Now I love rice cakes. I eat rice cakes a lot because again, fast-acting carbohydrate, great pre-post workout, put some peanut butter on there. But I've been loving these little mini ones and I've been dipping them in hummus. I'm gonna share my new favorite dessert hummus with you. I also can dip, you can dip these in peanut butter. You can eat them all by themselves but they're these little teeny crunchy rice cakes. You get 16 of them for 110 calories and they're crunchy and they're caramely. I just forgot how much I loved the minis. I like the minis more than the big rice cakes. So this is a new favorite and going to be a new staple for me. And this is the hummus that I've been dipping those in. 10 out of 10, out of 10, out of 10. It is so good. This is from the brand Lantana and this is the dark chocolate hummus. Now Trader Joe's makes a really good chocolate hummus as well. Sprouts has some really good options. This one I found at my local Kroger store. It is 80 calories per serving and it says made with garbanzo beans and cocoa powder and sweetened with dates. So it's nice clean ingredients. There's no sugar. There's no artificial sweetener. It smells like chocolate frosting. It tastes like chocolate frosting. I love it. In my opinion, this is the best brand of chocolate hummus. Like I said, I picked it up at Kroger. You can go to the Lantana, Lantana, Lantana website and they do have a store locator so you can find out where you can buy their products. They also have savory hummus and I can't wait to buy that because I love the clean ingredients of this and it tastes incredible. Speaking of clean ingredients and tasting incredible, I've also been loving these. These are from the brand Garden Bar. These are little fruit bars. So kind of on the lines of fruit, leather, perfectly clean ingredients. One serving of fruit in every bar. They're about 80 to 100 calories a piece and you're going to get seven grams of fiber. This is a great way to get in your fruit on the go. So I've been again, utilizing these for hikes. It's been a really great snack. I actually, when you see today's video, I'm in Atlanta on a little girls' trip, little vacation. I took these with me. It's a great way, like I said, to get fruit in on the go. They taste delicious and they have incredibly clean ingredients. I bought these at Sprouts. I love them. I've tried all the flavors and they are all incredible. And last but not least for WW Foods and something else that I brought on my trip with me are these little individual packets of chia smash. Now you know I love chia smash. I eat chia smash daily, literally daily. And I usually buy the jars. You can pick them up at your local health food store like Sprouts, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers. These came from Sprouts. You can also buy chia smash on Amazon. So I will link it down below for you off of Amazon. This little pouch is one serving of chia smash. So it is chia smash on the go. All that's in here. Fruit, lemon juice, dates and chia seeds. Clean ingredients, absolutely delicious. It's a great jam substitute. I put these on my yogurt bowl every time I eat a yogurt bowl. And I took these with me on my trip because I can put this on yogurt on my trip and still get in all the health benefits of chia seeds and that really good sweet jam flavor. This is amazing on toast. It's amazing in oatmeal. This is a go to for me, an all time favorite. And I've been loving these little single serve packets. Like I mentioned with my WW food favorites and the Herbalife iced coffee, I have a shaker bottle that I've been loving. I mean, first of all, can we talk about how adorable this is with the metallic leopard print? This is from the brand Brewmate. Now I actually have one of their water bottles and one of their tumblers and I love them. These are like a Yeti dupe. They're much more affordable and they keep your drinks cold all day. I have had ice in one of these for several days and the ice is still in solid form and my drink is still cold. And I've been loving this for going in, working out, walking, hiking, outside activities. I take this with me when I travel, when I'm out and about so that I can have protein shakes, protein coffee on the go. The quality of this is exceptional. So there is a sip lid and then you can see on the inside, here is the component that shakes your powder and your liquid together. It has a carrying handle and like I said, it keeps your drinks cold for days. Highly recommend their tumbler, highly recommend their water bottle. These two things are with me on my current trip as well. That way I get in coffee and protein and I have the option to mix up my Clean Simple Eats protein powder, whatever I want on the go. This is the best, the best shaker bottle to keep your drinks cold and to shake up your product because the shaker is built in. I really, really have been loving the Brewmate brand. I do have a discount code for Brewmate. I'll link that down below for you. Before we jump into beauty and skincare, you guys know I work out six days a week, seven days a week and I love athletic wear. I pretty much live in athletic wear. Maybe six months ago, I shared Silver Wind, sustainable, eco-friendly, active wear in a what I eat in a day video. Well, since that video, I've been wearing it nonstop and I actually picked up two new pieces that I've been loving. Silver Wind is an amazing, amazing company. Like I said, they are eco-friendly. Most of their clothing comes from recycled materials. They're just a small, woman-owned business and I love supporting small, woman-owned businesses and their athletic wear. Not only is it affordable, but the quality is unmatched. So in that first video, this is one of the sports bras that I picked up. How cute this is. I love their patterns. Their patterns are more on the earthy kind of eclectic side. This one has a beautiful butterfly in the middle. It has adjustable straps. I love this mesh panel right here. I've been wearing this sports bra a lot and like I said, I had to pick up a couple of their newer releases. And first up is this sports bra. This sports bra is so cute. Look at how adorable this is. Again, it has the butterflies on it. Like I said, everything is a little bit eclectic, a little bit earthy. I love this ruching detail in the middle. It comes with removable pads, adjustable straps. I love the back of this. It sucks in all my loose skin on the side of my arms here. It is, I would say, a low to medium support. So definitely not something you would want to wear if you were running or doing a boot camp workout, but lifting weights, walking, hiking, it's perfect. The quality is so incredible, way better than a lot of these high luxury sportswear brands and much more affordable. So I've been loving this sports bra. And then these leggings, I actually have a few pairs of the Silverwind leggings. They're so buttery soft. I love the material of these. They have that nice v-neck on the back. So it makes the booty look really good. I love the paisley print of these. I had to get these because I thought the pink paisley was so cute. I love these because they're compressive and they stay up. So when I'm doing boot camp, when I'm walking, when I'm doing a 5K, when I'm lifting weights, they don't budge and they don't budge and they are extremely, extremely high quality. So I wanted to share Silverwind again with you because I've been continuing to love the brand and I've been continuing to pick up more pieces. I used to discount code when I made my purchase, so I will link that discount code for you as well. So now let's jump into some skincare and some beauty. So starting with skincare, I've been loving this eye cream. This is from the brand Biosonce. You can actually pick this up at stores like Sephora. And this is the Biosonce Squalene and Marine LG Eye Cream. This has been my nighttime eye cream. It has virtually no scent to it. It's a nice thick emollient cream. This has done wonders for my under eyes. You guys know I'm 48. I have a lot of fine lines and wrinkles under my eyes and I have normal to dry skin. So this has really helped to hydrate my under eyes. And when I wake up in the morning, everything feels just really juicy and hydrated. I've really been liking this. I actually enjoy a lot of the Biosonce skincare line, but the eye cream is incredible. Also sunscreen. I wear sunscreen on my face daily. Whether I'm going outside or not, I'm sitting in front of a window so I'm still getting those UV rays and I'm all about protecting my skin with sunscreen. And I really have been enjoying this one. This is from the brand Tula and this is the Protect N Glow sunscreen. So it's definitely a little bit more glowy sunscreen, which I love, especially if you're someone who doesn't wear makeup or if you wanna have a no makeup day, but you still want your skin to look really good and hydrated and glowy. Glowy skincare products in general are amazing and this sunscreen from Tula, I really, really like this. This also layers beautifully under makeup. So whether it's summer, winter, fall, spring, you should be wearing sunscreen on your face. And I really like this one from Tula more than I thought that I would and I just picked this up at all times. And then the other skincare item not really, I guess it's kind of a skincare item is this from Isle of Paradise. This is the self tanning water. So my face is always lighter than my body because I wear sunscreen on my face daily and when I don't wear makeup, when I'm working out, when I'm exercising or if I just wanna give my skin a break from makeup, I really like my face to match my body. So I've been loving this Isle of Paradise tanning water. You just spritz it on and you have beautiful tan skin. So you can see that I sprayed on my neck and decollete as well so that it matches my face. But look at that nice glow. It's a really nice, natural looking tan. I love this. I love, love, love this. I've been using this every night on my face. So when I wake up in the morning, my face is nice and tan. It's a great way to get tan without harmful UV rays or tanning beds, especially on your face. And when we wear sunscreen and when we use products like tanning water, it keeps our skin healthy as well and keeps us from aging and looking like a leather bag. So I've been loving this. And then I have a few makeup products for you as well. So let's start with this lip oil. This is from Elf. Elf release some new lip oils that are dupes for the Dior lip oil. The Dior lip oil is $40. The Elf lip oil I think is $7 or $8. It's incredible. It is so juicy and hydrating on the lips. It smells kind of minty and I love, love, love this big, big doe foot applicator. It gives the perfect shine to the lips, hydration, tiny, tiny wash of color, new favorite lip oil. And I can't believe how affordable it is. Elf has just been killing it with their releases lately. Actually, my next makeup favorite is from Elf as well. I tried this product out on a whim. Now I have tried the Elf CC cream foundation in the past and did not like it. I found it to be very heavy, very cakey on my skin. So when they released this CC cream, this is the Elf Camo Hydrating CC cream. Again, I like a good hydrating, dewy foundation. I thought, okay, let's just get it. Let's give it a try. You guys, this is my new favorite foundation. It is, I think $15. It's incredible. It has a pump top, which I love, prevents mess. This is so good. It's a medium to full coverage foundation and it makes your skin look so hydrated and plump and juicy. I love it so much. This by far is my favorite foundation. This is going to be the one that I purchased moving forward. I love this. I was so shocked, shocked when I found out how good, when I tried this and it was as good as it was. I actually have a testing new makeup video coming out on my beauty channel. So if you're not subscribed to my beauty channel, definitely subscribe. It's in the description box for you where I share both of these products, actually apply them so you can see them in action. This foundation, oh my goodness, it's so good. I shared this as well on my beauty channel. This is the Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer. I actually picked up her little mini blush palette and her little mini eyeshadow palette and the concealer. Oh, it's so good. This concealer is so good. Now it is a little bit pricey. I mean, it's on par with most Sephora Alter Concealers. I wanna say it's about $30. It's incredible. It's hydrating. It doesn't settle into my fine lines and wrinkles. My under eyes look amazing. It's actually the concealer that I have on today. Love, love, love this so much. I always buy all of my Natasha Denona products off of the Natasha Denona website because I have a 10% discount for the website. So I actually get a better price than Ulta and Sephora. And while you're there, and while you're there, pick up her little My Dream Mini Eyeshadow Palette and this little My Dream Glow Blush. All of this is incredible. This is everything I bought off of the Natasha Denona website in that order. I do have a full video using all of those products. I will link that video down below for you. Again, it's on my beauty channel. But go to the Natasha Denona website, get the High Glam concealer, best concealer I've tried in the last couple of years. And then mascara. Now, this is something that I was hoping I wouldn't love as much as I love because this is a pretty pricey mascara. This is from Pat McGrath Labs and this is the Dark Star Mascara. Now, I don't love Pat McGrath. I typically don't buy a lot of her products. I actually got this in a subscription box. Again, similar to the concealer, similar to this foundation, this is one of the best mascaras I've tried and I don't know how long. It coats the lashes with thickness, darkness, volume. It is absolutely amazing. I love the big, huge, fluffy wand. This is truly an incredible, incredible mascara. And it's on par with most Sephora mascaras and I wanna say it's in the $30 price point. Well worth it. There's a lot of product in here. I've been using this for a while and I love it. It's the mascara I'm wearing today. I'm actually wearing the concealer and the mascara. It's so good. It's definitely, definitely worth the money. And then as always, we're gonna end out my January favorites with my eyeshadow palette, favorite of the month. And that is this gorgeous palette right here called New Zealand Stargazing from the indie makeup brand Nomad Cosmetics. Nomad Cosmetics is one of my all-time favorite indie brands and they just released this palette less than a month ago. Look at how beautiful this is. There's neutral, there's colorful and it is packed with beautiful, beautiful duochromes and multi-chromes and incredibly shimmery shades. I have a full video using this palette on my beauty channel. I'll link that as well for you. Come subscribe to my beauty channel if you love makeup and skincare because I release a lot of content over there and I did two looks using this palette. I did a neutral look and a colorful look. This palette is the best that Nomad has ever put out and Nomad makes amazing palettes. I own everything that they've released. This Stargazing palette is so good. Everything about this palette is perfection. Love it. I can't wait to see what Nomad brings out in 2024. I also have a discount for Nomad so I'll link that for you but definitely get your hands on this palette. You will not be disappointed. So those are all of my January favorites. We have a lot. I've been loving everything that I try. Truly they're go-to staples for me. Things I use daily. Again, everything will be linked down below with the exception of the foods that you can find at your local grocery store. Discount codes, any discount I can find for you online I will link it for you. That way you can save a little bit of money.
