5 Friday Favorites 8/14/15: Nuun Update, Flatout Pizza, and Kardashian Dream Fitness Closet

My blogging has been sporadic as I get ready for school in a couple of weeks and keep up with my busy schedule. This is probably how it's going to be until I figure out how my new schedule is going to work out. Anyways, it's one of the last few weekends of summer (HOW?!?), and I still don't understand how I've only been to the beach once. That needs to change. I also need some more ice cream, watermelon, and sunshine in my life.  

5 Friday Favorites

1. Favorite Afternoon Snack: LesserEvil Himalayan Sweetness popcorn

I've talked before about LesserEvil snacks and their avocadolicious popcorn, but this week I've been absolutely loving their . As an ambassador I get a big box of snacks every month, and between my boyfriend and I, this is always the first popcorn to go. 

It's basically a kettle corn popcorn, except it isn't overly sweet or glazed. It's the perfect sweet snack for me to munch on in the afternoons at night and is awesome mixed in a bowl with their wasabi popcorn. Only 110 calories for 2 cups, but I'm always eating double of that! 

2. Favorite Natural Product: Rocket Pure Friction Therapy Anti-Chafe Balm Stick

 I was really excited to receive my own Rocket Pure Anti-Chafe Balm Stick after winning Colleen's giveaway.  It's just like Body Glide, but it's made with all natural ingredients include tea tree oil. 

I love finding natural products to replace others if they work just as well because I know that natural is better. I started using tea tree oil after my nose piercing to get rid of a keloid and since used it on acne, insect bites, and scrapes so I know it rocks! 

I used it on a couple runs this week and and happy to say it prevents chafing and the tea tree oil gives it a nice, fresh smell.  

3. Favorite Improvement:  Nuun Active

It's no secret that as a Team Nuun athlete I'm a huge fan of Nuun. I was lucky enough to get to test out their new & improved Nuun Active tablets in one of my favorite flavors-strawberry lemonade.  

The awesome people at Nuun tweaked the formula for faster absorption keeping everything else you love about Nuun including its 9 flavors and blend of 4 electrolytes. 

Nuun Active is vegan, non-gmo, gluten-free, less than 12 calories, and free of any artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives-all reasons why I love it!

4. Favorite Quick Meal: Flatout pepperoni pizza

I've been whipping out personal pita pizzas for myself since college, but lately I've been all about the Flatout flatbread pizzas. Apparently they make pizza crust ones now, but I just use a regular wheat flatbread, crisp it in the over for a couple minutes and then top with a little tomato sauce, shredded cheese, and turkey pepperoni. 

When I'm short on time or just feeling lazy I  make this with a side of veggies, and I'm set for dinner. It doesn't replace real deal pizza, but it's super yummy.  

5. Favorite Closet: Khloe Kardashian's fitness closet

The Kardashians are a bunch of celebrities I love to hate, but I've always had some respect for Khloe. Now I just wish I had her fitness closet because OHMYGOD-total dream fitness closet. Yep, she has a 150 foot square closet in her house JUST for fitness things with everything beautifully hung and displayed along with a mini fridge stocked with water. I'd load that baby with juices and snacks! Who wouldn't want to work out when you had that in your house with tons of pretty things to sweat in?  

I'm also linking up with ClareJill,Katie,DC TrifectaHeather, and Meet me at the Barre.



What is one of your favorites from the week? What would be in your dream fitness closet?

  1. Oh my goodness I have to try that popcorn! I'm a popcorn fiend though I don't know if it would last that long around our house :)

    1. It's SO good! Definitely try out all their popcorn. You can go on their site to see stores near you that carry it-I know at least Whole Foods does!

  2. I saw that picture of Khloe's closet and also thought it was amazing! So pretty. I actually think it would be great to have so many pairs of tennis shoes because buying a new pair always seems like a treat to me. Although I always wonder if Khloe has some sort of contract with Nike because it seems to be all she wears. I would think people who are truly into fitness would not choose Nike for their first choice of tennis shoes, although maybe I'm wrong on that!

    1. I agree about the shoes and the Nike thing made me curious too. I know a lot of people who aren't athletes or just into running really like Nike because it's so popular.

  4. Wow! That closet is awesome. Wish I had one like that. I am a Nuun ambassador as well and I haven't got sent one product to try. The only thing I get is advertisements for discounts with my purchase. I thought that was a perk of being an ambassador for a product and bring able to try out new Items.

  8. Khloe is the ONLY Kardashian I can stand at all whatsoever, and now I envy her for her fitness closet haha. Actually, I envy anyone with an actual closet. Since I moved into my tiny UK apartment I have a crappy wardrobe from IKEA and two drawers. :)
