2020 Healthy Holiday Gift Guide

November 20, 2020 By Melanie No Comments

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, the holiday season is in full swing and it’s the perfect time to share my 2020 Healthy Holiday Gift Guide!

This is my third year of sharing gift ideas (see 2018 and 2019) and even though there’s a certain heaviness around this holiday season, I couldn’t bring myself to break tradition. My hope is that it’ll bring a little holiday cheer to your home and give you some ideas for friends, family or even your own wish list.

You’ll find 10 different categories below based on what I think you all would love. There’s a little something for everybody and I tried to feature as many small businesses as possible since they truly need our support right now.

There are some more luxe options but many that are very budget friendly! If you like what you see you’ll be excited to hear that I’m bringing back my week long #HHHoliday Giveaway in December, featuring a few of the products in this guide. I can’t wait to share more so keep an eye on my IG if you want to stay in the loop.

In the meantime, I’m sending you all lots of love and wishing you happy holiday shopping!

So glad I harvested these ripe strawberries before the surprise hail storm yesterday afternoon. 😳 Thankfully there wasn’t any damage to most of the plants but some of the flowers and strawberry plants took a beating… so looks like I’ll be replanting a few things soon! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll file this experience under #ColoradoLife

I hope you all have a lovely start to your weekend! 🌼

Hydration never tasted so good.💧 You all know how much I love an aesthetic smoothie and this Matcha Passion Fruit smoothie featuring @liquidiv’s Passion Fruit Hydration Multiplier is absolutely delightful. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love that using Liquid I.V. gives this smoothie 3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks and provides 5 essential vitamins: B3, B5, B6, B12 and Vitamin C 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be sure to SAVE this post and tag us if you try making the recipe at home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💚 1 banana
💚 ½ avocado 
💚 1 cup frozen mango
💚 1 Liquid I.V. Passion Fruit Hydration Multiplier
💚 1 tsp matcha 
💚 1 cup water 
💚 ¼ cup lite coconut milk 
💚 Ice 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Blend and serve in a glass with coconut cream. If you’re feeling a little ✨extra✨ garnish with mint and an edible flower! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pro Tip: if you want to cut down on the sweetness of the smoothie, I recommend using ½ banana and ½ cup frozen mango.

After a long winter in the home gym, I think outdoor workouts have just become my favorite thing ever. ☀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As much as I love the fresh air and sunshine, suncare is always top of mind! I’ve been loving @cayskin’s entire collection and use their Face and Body Lotions, Body Oil, and Lip Balm – all with SPF 30, daily. It leaves my skin feeling so nourished, glowy and ready to be out in the sunshine. 💛✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun fact - Cay Skin founder @winnieharlow uses all these products in her @womenshealthmag cover this month for that perfect glow!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today called for a little jump rope warm up before moving into some of my favorite yoga sculpt exercises and cooling down with some gentle stretches. I hope this encourages you to switch things up and take your workout outdoors this weekend!

Heading to Vegas for a long weekend and I’m low Heading to Vegas for a long weekend and I’m low key surprised at how much I was able to fit in this carryon 😅. Excited to see some of our oldest friends and soak in all the warm sunshine ☀️, pool time 👙 and good eats & sips. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Drop your Vegas recs below please! I’ve only ever been once for a super short work trip 7 years ago so have no idea what I’m getting into lol

Hydration never tasted so good.💧 You all know h Hydration never tasted so good.💧 You all know how much I love an aesthetic smoothie and this Matcha Passion Fruit smoothie featuring @liquidiv’s Passion Fruit Hydration Multiplier is absolutely delightful. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love that using Liquid I.V. gives this smoothie 3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks and provides 5 essential vitamins: B3, B5, B6, B12 and Vitamin C

💚 1 banana
💚 ½ avocado 
💚 1 cup frozen mango
💚 1 Liquid I.V. Passion Fruit Hydration Multiplier
💚 1 tsp matcha 
💚 1 cup water 
💚 ¼ cup lite coconut milk 
💚 Ice

Blend and serve in a glass with coconut cream. If you’re feeling a little ✨extra✨ garnish with mint and an edible flower!

Pro Tip: if you want to cut down on the sweetness of the smoothie, I recommend using ½ banana and ½ cup frozen mango.

After a long winter in the home gym, I think outdo After a long winter in the home gym, I think outdoor workouts have just become my favorite thing ever. ☀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As much as I love the fresh air and sunshine, suncare is always top of mind! I’ve been loving @cayskin’s entire collection and use their Face and Body Lotions, Body Oil, and Lip Balm – all with SPF 30, daily. It leaves my skin feeling so nourished, glowy and ready to be out in the sunshine. 💛✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun fact - Cay Skin founder @winnieharlow uses all these products in her @womenshealthmag cover this month for that perfect glow!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today called for a little jump rope warm up before moving into some of my favorite yoga sculpt exercises and cooling down with some gentle stretches. I hope this encourages you to switch things up and take your workout outdoors this weekend!
