Get your Spice Girls salute ready, this post is about girl power. Girl power in the sense of those moments that make you feel strong, confident, and on top of the world. What kind of moments do that for you? For me, there’s a long list, but to name a few; are a great workout, eating well and a confidence boosting read.
Girl Power Moments and Six New Products That Enhance Them
I’ve reviewed Babbleboxx before on the blog, and I’ve always found a lot of fun new things to try. This recent box was full of her health month products, meant to compliment a woman’s mental and physical strength. There was something in the box that totally complimented each of my girl power moments, I’ll share about each one in the sections below. 
A Great Workout
I’ll start with one thing that always makes me feel powerful, a great workout. I can go on an all out mexican food and ice cream binge for a week, and after one workout, I’m like “you skinny beast you.” Let’s be real, that’s not reality, but a great workout always makes me feel powerful and unstoppable. Especially if it gets extra sweaty, then I really feel like I accomplished something. So, what was in my Babbleboxx that complimented a beast workout? A Champion Sports Bra and Aftershokz wireless headphones.
Champion Sports Bra
I have many Champion Sports Bras in my closet. They sell them at Target, so you can imagine the sports bras are one of those things I buy when I’m just going in for bananas, and come out $100 later. The Curvy Strappy Sports Bra that came in my box, is designed with cups to give you shape, and great support. For someone who isn’t well endowed up top, I liked that it gave me some curves, instead of turning me into a 12-year-old like all of my other sports bras. I also really liked the hook and eye closure, for an adjustable and comfortable fit. I love to do squat jumps and tuck jumps when I workout, so a supportive bra is a must!
Aftershokz Trekz Air Wireless Headphones
Ever since I bought my brother a pair of wireless headphones for Christmas, I’ve wanted a pair for myself. So, I was excited to see these in my box! The really unique thing about Aftershokz is that they don’t sit inside or over your ears, but just in front of them. The design leaves your eardrums open so you can hear your music, but also still hear your surroundings. This is particularly important to me, because I love to listen to good dance music, but I don’t always want my kids listening to it. So I crank it up in the headphones while I workout, but don’t have to worry about not being able to hear the boys if they need me. I also like to wear them while I cut the grass, I can connect to my phone without actually having to take my phone on the lawn mower.

Eating Well
Y’all, I love to workout, but I can be the worst when it comes to always eating well. I try to practice balance, but sometimes that balance shifts a little too far to the I want to eat all the carbs and nothing else side. However, those times when my eating is on point, I feel powerful! I’m less bloated, have more energy – you know, all the things that come with eating well. Just like I can feel pretty great from one workout, I can also feel pretty great about myself with just a day or a week of eating well. It’s like an accomplishment, you gotta high five yourself in the mirror.
In my Babbleboxx was Pure Synergy: Organic Beet Juice Powder & Turmeric Extract, meant to compliment eating well.
Pure Synergy: Organic Beet Juice Powder
I’ve mentioned before on the blog, I’m just not the kind of person to take supplements. However, these two do come with some pretty cool advantages. The Organic Beet Juice Powder is full of phytonutrients and is a daily health booster. I know beets are great for you, were trying to grow some in our garden this summer! The powder is really nice to have on hand and add to an organic smoothie for a nutrient boost. The nice thing about Pure Synergy is they ensure that their supplements aren’t subjected to heat, solvents, oxygen, or other harsh processing, so they stay as pure as possible.
Pure Synergy: Turmeric Extract
I’ve heard how wonderful turmeric can be for you, yet I haven’t actually included it in my own diet, until now. Turmeric is said to be great for cognitive function, and supports a healthy inflammatory response, which is great for after workouts. I personally struggle with really tight upper back and neck muscles after my workouts, which can often give me headaches. So, I’m going to give the tumeric a try, to see if it can help with muscle inflammation and soreness. Take 15% off your order with code: PURESYNERGYPARTNER
A Motivational Book
The Myth of The Nice Girl by Fran Hauser
I’m one of those people who thrives on positive reinforcement and encouragement. I need to surround myself with positivity. I love reading in general, I find that it always relaxes me and centers me; make it a motivational read, and that’s even better. In my Babbleboxx was The Myth of The Nice Girl by Fran Hauser. I just started to read this, so I’ll have to give you a full review when I’m finished. Full warning, I’m currently reading at a snails pace with all of springs activities, so that may be a minute! This book is all about female empowerment, and taking your career to the next level. Fran speaks out against the stereotype that women who are “nice” in the workplace are seen as week, and to be successful you have to be tough. The book is about achieving your goals, without losing who you are and letting your real personality shine. I’m really excited to get into it and let you know more about it!
Zenni Optical Glasses
The pair I’m wearing in the picture, aren’t prescription at all, but I do wear glasses for distance. I’ve been seeing the Zenni commercials for some time now, and was really curious about trying them. After using my insurance benefits for a pair of sunglasses instead of clear glasses this year, I’m even more excited to order a clear pair through Zenni! Zenni glasses are blue blockers. What does that mean? Their Beyond UV Blue Blocker lenses, block the blue light that is emitted from computers and mobile devices. We are all constantly on our phones, and devices, and are exposing our eyes to damaging blue light. So, even if you don’t need prescription glasses, I would totally recommend their glasses for the protection alone!
Last, but certainly not least is a Chesapeake Bay Candle: Mind & Body, the scent in my box was peace + tranqulity.
Chesapeake Bay Candle: Mind & Body
I almost always have a candle lit in my house, it’s so soothing and comforting to me. So of course, a good reading session or stretching session post workout is complimented by a candle. I’ve also purchased many Chesapeake Bay Candles in the past, and love them. Their candles are a soy wax blend for a clean burn, and they’re made right here in the USA. Infused with essential oils, they let off a very soothing and light aroma.
So, now it’s your turn, what are your girl power moments? Have you tried any of the products that came in my Babbleboxx?
