2022 Healthy Holiday Gift Guide

November 6, 2022 By Melanie No Comments

Hello and happy November! We had a snowstorm blow through Denver last night and when I awoke to a winter wonderland in my own backyard, I really couldn’t help but get into the holiday spirit! I know we’re still technically early on in the season but I’m all about celebrating holiday festiveness as early as you please and that’s why I’m releasing my annual Healthy Holiday Gift Guide the first weekend in November to allow for plenty of time to shop! I can’t believe this will be my fifth year releasing a gift guide (check out last year’s version HERE). I remember back in 2018 barely anyone shared custom gift guides and now they’re EVERYWHERE. So please know that I really appreciate you taking the time to check out mine. I did my best to include a variety of different categories and unique items — many that I’ve tried, tested and love myself. Others are simply things that I personally would buy as a gift or things I really think you all would find exciting too.

I’ll be sharing a larger more comprehensive part 2 of these gift guides on my LTK later this month! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these eight categories and that it comes in handy while you’re doing your holiday shopping this year.

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

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.

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 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!
