A Day in my Life

Happy Wednesday! I honestly thought yesterday was Thursday so as you can see, my whole week is thrown off. I don't think I've ever posted a day in my life so I figured what better day to do it than yesterday, the last official day of school for my students!

I started my day off as I usually do with a 6 am run around my neighborhood. 

I straightened up the kitchen afterwards and then gave myself a dipped manicure to celebrate the {almost} start of summer!

My first grade class had our last class Google Meet for the year which called for dressing up!

I headed out right after the meeting to go finish up some things in my classroom. I dropped off some thank you cards for my students along the way.

Of course I stopped for an iced coffee along the way! It was an odd feeling leaving the school for the summer.

I ended up going to my parents house for lunch after being at the school. No pictures were taken but we just relaxed and had burgers for lunch! Along the way I stopped at a Little Free Library for a new book.

I convinced John to go on a walk with me when he got home from work. It was gorgeous out!

We saw baby ducks along the golf course!

For dinner we made burrito bowls in the Instant Pot. One of our favorite meals since it is super simple and quick!

After dinner, we watched some Grey's Anatomy and hung out before going to bed.

Question of the Day: Do you have any summer plans yet?

Friday Favorites

Another Friday, another list of things I've been loving! This week went by super slowly for me for some reason so I'm pretty pumped that it is actually Friday now! We have yet another chill weekend ahead of us. Tomorrow we are planning to have a window date with our nephews since Joey turned 1 yesterday! We may also try and have some sort of indoor date night either tonight or tomorrow. Other than that, you can find me relaxing :) I hope you all have something nice planned for the weekend!

Brookside Crunchy Clusters

Some of my coworkers arranged a "booze fairy" thing where we took turns "boozing" one another. The person who boozed me last week really spoiled me! Along with the booze, she also gave me some snacks, one of which were these Brookside Crunchy Clusters. They are a mix of crispy pieces and chewy berries covered in dark chocolate. They are dangerously good! It's took everything in me not to finish the whole bag in one sitting.

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

Kya Clark is a quiet girl who has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home. She is referred to as the "Marsh Girl" by everyone in the nearby town and is pointed to as the suspect when Chase Andrews, a well-known man, is found dead. The book intertwines two separate timelines that follow along with Kya's life as well as the murder case of Chase. 

This book was really hyped up for me by many people so I was happy when I got my hands on it. It wasn't a book I'd normally pick up on my own but I am so glad I got around to reading it. I was hooked from the beginning and stayed up late one night because I couldn't stop reading until I knew what really happened!

Our Patio Project

Awhile back John found a pin on Pinterest for a really cool lighting project we could do for our patio that used the string lights I'm obsessed with. We live in a townhouse so we lack a backyard where we can do cool stuff so our patio has to do. John and his dad worked on it for a few days but it may have been able to be done all in one day if they chose the fast setting cement. First we bought pretty barrel planters which they put 8 foot posts in and then set them in with cement. Once that set, we put soil in the planters which later we planted some pretty flowers in. The final step was to drill in hooks near the top and hang the lights! It was a fairly simple project and looks amazing on our back patio both during the day and at night! We have already spent many nights sitting out there and relaxing.

Question of the Day: What is something your loving this week?

Marine Corps Marathon 2020?

Yes, that question mark is supposed to be part of my title. It's not a typo. The reason it's there is because I am questioning my participation in the 2020 Marine Corps Marathon along with the likelihood of it actually taking place live and in person on October 25, 2020.

Let's start from the beginning. The MCM has been on my bucket list for awhile now. My brother becoming a Marine in December was the final push to put in for the lottery this year. I eagerly registered for the lottery on the first day it opened in the middle of March. When I received the e-mail on April 1st telling me I was selected to run the race, I was ecstatic! 

WINNER WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!

Obviously during this time COVID-19 was slowly becoming a bigger deal than anyone anticipated. When I registered on March 18th, I was in my first week of remote teaching but there was limited information so the idea of registering for a race about 7 months out seemed safe. By time the selections were made on April 1, I had already had to defer my entry for a marathon that I was planning to run on April 19th but had been cancelled. Once again, the race was still 7 months away so I was too worried.

Fast forward to May 15th. The MCM Organization sent us an email regarding the race, which you can see below. To sum it up for you, they let us know that they were still proceeding as planned but we had the option to defer early if we wanted. The deferral fee would be discounted and that deferral would be valid for 2021, 2022, or 2023. Score! Oh, and the even better part? If we defer now but the 2020 event does remain live, we will be allowed to come back, as long as space remains. Sounds like the best plan, right?!

I was all set to go with this plan. I discussed the options with John, my family, and my one friend and all said deferring was the best option. With so many unknowns, deferring would allow me to wait and see without losing out on ever using this registration fee. Plus having THREE different years I could choose to use my deferral is awesome!

Well, I was all set to hit "defer" when the MCM put up a post on Facebook the day after the Boston Marathon officially cancelled their race that was originally scheduled for April 20th and then rescheduled for September 14, 2020. It's pictured below, but in summary, they are being optimistic as they continue preparation for the October race. They are investigating ways to assure a healthy and safe environment for all participants. Would that mean we'd have to wear masks? I could not imagine running 26.2 miles in a mask. But how else would you maintain social distancing and safety at an event with close to 30,000 runners? So. Many. Questions.

You're probably starting to wonder if I'm going to answer your question "sooo did you defer?!" I thought by now my answer would be yes, but due to me being super indecisive, I haven't gone through and actually deferred yet. After much though and discussion with anyone who would listen, I know it is the best decision, but I have until September to make a choice so I am planning to give myself some more time to see what is going on. I just fear I will defer and then not have the opportunity to join back in if it stays live and as close to normal as possible. As much as I am eager to run the marathon, if waiting a year or two allows me to run the race as close to as normal as possible, then I'm all in with waiting. As for training, my training schedule would begin on June 22nd. I am planning to follow along with my training schedule as closely as possible in hopes that by time I hit my longer distance runs in August, I have an idea if the race is a go or not.

Question of the Day: Have you had any races cancelled or postponed due to COVID-19?

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday AND National Donut Day! I'm getting this out a little later than usual today because I honestly forgot it was Friday... sad, right? I just have lost all track of my days but now that I know it's really Friday, YAY! We don't have much going on this weekend besides hopefully finishing up a little backyard project we (read: mostly John and his dad) have been working on. I can't wait to share about it!Today I'm sharing a few things I've been loving lately. I've been doing a little online shopping lately so I wanted to share those things with you!

Senita High Waisted Rio Shorts & Hideaway Sports Bra

My friend has raved about Senita Athletics for awhile now so once I saw they offered shorts with POCKETS that were cheaper than I've ever seen, I had to really check them out. The high waisted Rio shorts have the perfect inseam length (3.75 inches) and don't ride up at all while I run. My phone fits in the side pocket and doesn't move around while moving. The hideaway sports bra also has a pocket on the back, as part of the racer-back. My phone fits in there and I hardly notice it while I run! Senita has completely sold me on their clothing. I'm already planning my next order ;)

ROADiD Elite Band

For being a ROADiD ambassador, I received an Elite ID with the clasp. When I first open the package, I was a little taken aback because I had to be the one to size it to my wrist. I was nervous at first because I didn't want to ruin it, but with some help from John and the videos on their website, we figured it out quickly! It was actually super simple and allowed me to get the best fit. I love the clasp closure because it's quick to take on and off. I never thought I'd like wearing a ROADiD on my wrist but I honestly don't even notice it's there!

Starbucks Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew

I had to run to Target the other day for a few things and while there, I noticed the Starbucks inside had reopened. I figured since I haven't been buying coffee out due to being home most of the time, I'd treat myself! My typical go-to is a chai tea latte but I wanted to be adventurous so instead I picked something off the menu I'd never tried before: the vanilla sweet cream cold brew. I worried the coffee taste would be too strong (I like the cover it as much as possible lol) but it was a perfect blend without being overly sweet! I brought it home to drink while reading on the back patio for a little bit :)

Another Friday, another Friday Favorites post! This week went by fairly quickly but this weekend is much needed. With the end of the school year approaching, the work is piling on. I'm looking forward to June 16th to be able to stop remote learning for good {fingers crossed!}. The weather around here looks iffy for the weekend but hopefully that changes and we get a little sunshine! I hope you all have a great weekend!

ONE Birthday Cake Protein Bar

I received this as a free sample a week or so ago and I finally tried it this week during a busy day of meetings. I'm a huge fan of birthday cake flavored foods and this did not disappoint in the flavor department! It has the same texture I feel like all protein bars have which isn't necessarily good or bad. The best thing about this protein bar is it is NUT FREE! As someone with a nut allergy, I struggle to find a protein bar without any sort of nut ingredients. I'll have to check out their other flavors to see if they have any other nut free options.

Not the most photogenic meal but it's much tastier than it looks!

Cheesy Fajita Chicken Bake

John found this on Pinterest a few weeks back so we decided to give it a try this week. It's a pretty simple recipe. You mix up cream cheese, salsa, and fajita seasoning, pour that over chicken breasts, and bake! It also calls for cut up green peppers to give it that fajita feel but we didn't have any in. It still tasted great without them! We had it both on its on and in a tortilla. We are definitely adding this into our recipe rotation! 

iPhone Screen-time Setting

This has been a thing for the  iPhone for awhile now but I'm just now hopping on that train. Quarantine has me on my phone for an embarrassing amount of time. For the past few weeks I've been utilizing the App Limits setting to limit my time on certain apps that I seem to get lost in. I can't tell you how helpful it's been! It's almost like a game each day to see how little time I can spend on those apps each day and never get to the 5 minute warning. If you are finding yourself spending what you feel is too much time on your phone, check out the screen-time setting!

Question of the Day: What is something you’re loving this week?

Friday Favorites

We are officially ending week 10 in quarantine and I honestly can't believe it has been that long! My sister and I keep talking about how crazy it is that back during that first week of schools being shut down we really thought it was only going to be a two-week thing. This all feels normal now that I can't imagine how life will feel once we start getting back to "real normal," if that is even a thing anymore. Anyway, I'll stop the quarantine talk and get back to why we are here- my Friday Favorites! With life being a bit bland, my more exciting blog posts are non-existent (but only for a bit!!) so my Friday post is something I look forward to typing up each week. I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

Bowl & Basket Tortilla Chips
We eat tortilla chips like it's nothing in this household. We LOVE them! We're talking buy-four-bags-at-a-time and eat-a-bag-in-one-sitting love (or maybe it's a problem?). If you weren't aware, Tostitos brand chips are a bit pricey. I got into the habit of buying the Aldi brand ones since they were under a dollar a bag, but I've been avoiding that store lately since I was stressed shopping their even before covid. While at ShopRite recently, I noticed they had a store brand of tortilla chips so I grabbed them figuring it was worth a shot. I'm happy to report that we love them and they are our new go-to tortilla chips. They are are the perfect combination of salty and crunchy. Our wallets are pretty happy we found a cheap option, too!

TikTok
Oh gosh, I'm embarrassed to even admit this but I fell down the TikTok rabbit hole this week. It started with my friend sending me a TikTok video through text, then I downloaded the app, and next thing you know it's an hour later and I was still scrolling through the "for you" videos. I haven't actually created an account, and I don't really plan to, but I could spend hours watching videos on there! They are just so funny and often relatable depending on the topic.

Taylor Swift City of Lover Concert
Earlier this week, Taylor Swift released a recording of her Paris show which you can now view on Hulu or Disney+! I played it during my lunchtime on Wednesday and I absolutely loved it! It's only about a 40 minute long show where she plays some of her songs from her newest album, Lover. Since a live concert won't be happening anytime soon, this was just as good :)

TGIF! Today wraps up week 9 of remote teaching. It was a long week of meetings and preparing for the rest of the year. It still hasn't hit me that we won't be returning to school this year but I'm sure it will soon enough. I'm planning to have a relaxed weekend after such a mentally exhausting week. A hot bath and fuzzy socks are calling my name! Today I'm share a few things I've really been loving this week so enjoy and have a great weekend :)

KG Designs Initial Necklace
I have been wanting a necklace with an H on it since John and I got married to represent my new last name. Before Christmas, I did some research and found a lot of good options. I didn't end up getting one so I was super excited when I found out one of my best friends had a friend who made them! I ordered my necklace a few weeks ago and was thrilled when it came in. It was everything I ever wanted. I may never take it off now!

KG Designs makes the most adorable jewelry by hand and I insist you go check out her shop!She offers necklaces, earrings, and rings for spectacular prices. Some of her pieces are even made using recycled materials so that's a winner in my book!

Priority Planner
You will be hearing me talk about this planner for the rest of my life because it is PERFECT! If you don't know Rachel Hollis, author of Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing, then I highly suggest taking some time to peruse her Instagram and website. But anyway, I'm here to rave about her Priority Planner. The Priority Planner is a 3 month planner that helps you map out your days in order to help you achieve your goals. This has been key for me during quarantine due to a lack of schedule and sometimes motivation. I map out each day in my planner to see what needs to be done and when. I am currently working on towards a goal relating to my Poshmark shop and this is helping me tremendously! I feel like my description is not doing this planner any justice, so if this sounds like something up your alley, watch these videos on Rachel's website to get a better idea of what I am trying to convey to you guys!

Belcorva Shorts
Since I'm so in love with my Belcorva capris, I decided to check out their shorts selection as the weather is beginning to warm up. I learned that they sell both biker shorts and running shorts with the pockets I have grown to love. I instantly fell in love with the Runner's Dream 5 Pocket Shorts due to the 5 inch inseam and the fact that the pockets are part of the inner compression liner. Because I wasn't sure if they would be perfect for me and I didn't want to shell out the money before knowing, I hopped on Poshmark and found the exact pair I wanted for a fraction of the price. Now that I've worn them for a couple runs and have confirmed they are just as great as the capris, I plan to order more pairs! They are the perfect length so they don't bunch up and the pockets in the inner liner hold my phone perfect. It's a little annoying that I have to pull up the outer layer to get to the pocket but if anything, it stops me from pulling out my phone constantly!


Question of the Day: What is something you've been loving this week?

Friday Favorites

I've been thinking the past few days that is has been Friday so now that it actually is, HAPPY FRIDAY! Work was super busy this week so a weekend is much needed for me to recharge. I need to close my office door and not think about work until I decide I need to do work on Sunday Monday morning! We have another relaxing weekend ahead of us. Sunday is Mother's Day so we are going to visit bother our moms, social distance style. My sister and I gifted my mom with an at-home Board & Brush painting kit so we are going to Zoom later that night to all do our own boards and drink wine :) I hope you all have a great weekend!

Wasabi Peas
If you've never had or heard of wasabi peas, they are just roasted green peas that are coated in some sort of wasabi coating. These are a snack I've always enjoyed but last week I picked up a huge container of them at BJ's so they've been my go-to all week. They're the perfect mix of crunchy and spicy that satisfies my snacky cravings.

This person went super overboard for this wining! You don't have to do anything more than a bottle of wine but some people are really have fun with it :) I loved this surprise!

Wining
I was invited to a group last week called The Sisterhood of the Traveling Wine that was based out of my area of New Jersey. The idea of the group is that you share your address based on your county and then people go around and "wine" you and then you return the favor to somebody else. I was a little skeptical at first but it's actually a super cute concept and people are really getting into it. I've been "wined" 3 times so far, one of which was by a close friend. I've been gifted some really cool wines that have been fun to try out. I've "wined" one person in my neighborhood so far but I plan on "wining" some fellow teachers this weekend!

Gallo Watermelon Wine
Let's stay on the topic of wine because wine not? I crack myself up... Anyway, my mom surprised me with this wine over the weekend! We are both big Gallo fans due to their sweet flavors and low price. We had found out about the new watermelon flavor through the traveling wine group and both knew we had to try it! My mom beat me to it and found it at a local liquor store which had curbside pick up {what a time to be alive!} so she picked it up before delivering it to me. It's the perfect blend of sweet and watermelon flavor. Not too overpowering on either end which was good! Highly recommend!


Question of the Day: What is one thing you've been loving this week?

Currently: Quarantine Edition

Hey! How is it already May?! With all the free time I have you'd think I'd spend it coming up with some cool blog post ideas but that hasn't been the case this week. Now that schools in New Jersey have officially closed for the remainder of the year, the stress is REAL. I've also been using this time to get a lot of house work done.

Since I feel like the past month or so has been a real blur, I'm taking a moment today to check in and share a "currently" post with you!

I am currently...

Eating

Super Hero Muffins from Run Fast. Eat Slow. by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky. I've been enjoying them as a mid-day snack!

Purple + gym clothes all day, everyday!

Wearing

Work out clothes all day, everyday. There is no real point in dressing up while working from home and I try and sneak in random workouts through out the day, so leggings, a tank, and sweatshirt are my normal attire. 

Reading

Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin. It's a book all about habits which is right up my alley. I bought it when it first came out a couple years ago and am finally getting around to reading it.

Watching

Grey's Anatomy... again. John and I love this show and we are currently re-watching the whole series.

Drinking

Whipped coffee. This has been my favorite pick-me-up in the afternoon!

On Saturday we did our long run together and even went as far to wear completely matching outfits!

Loving
My new routine of getting up early and running almost every morning! My sister and I have gotten into the habit of going on a run every morning at the same time. We talk on the phone during our run, which gives us a chance to catch up before our days get crazy.

Question of the Day: What is something you’re currently eating, wearing, listening to, etc.? Pick one :)

Friday Favorites

I honestly can't keep track of the days of the week anymore but I do know that today is Friday! And it's the first day of May?! This is crazy... This week felt extra long for some reason so a weekend feels much needed. As usual, we have nothing planned but I'm sure we will find ways to entertain ourselves! My sister was supposed to run a 10-miler tomorrow but since it's cancelled, we are going to "run" 10 miles together in the morning. I hope you all have a great weekend!

HabitBull App

My sister suggested this app to me awhile ago and I really like it! HabitBull is where you can track the habits you are trying to build in a neat and organized way. You can track up to 5 habits in the free version and are able to really personalize each habit. Most of my habits are set to be completed each day in order to be "successful" but I do have my yoga habit set to be completed 4 times a week in order to be seen as "successful." If there are any habits you are trying to build, try using this app to keep track!

Homemade Tortillas

An Instagram friend of mine shared a recipe for homemade tortillas with me recently and they are to die for! I don't think I can ever go back to using store bought tortillas now! The recipe and process is super simple. 

Combine 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl and stir. Add 2 tbs oil and 3/4 cup warm water and stir until combined. Kneed the dough on a floured surface until it elastic, but not sticky. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes- 2 hours (we usually do 30 minutes cause we are in a rush most nights). Divide into 8 parts, roll each out, and then cook on a frying pan on medium-high heat. Flip once it forms bubbles. Each should only take a few minutes. 

These are so worth it! We save these as our last step in whatever recipe we are making that night so we can eat them hot and fresh!

Workout Videos I'm Loving

Hi everyone! How is everything going? As part of the #Next90Challenge, I have been working out for 30 minutes each day! Most days my workout consists of a run but on the rainy days or days I just don't feel like leaving the house I have been using online workout videos. I've been really enjoying my workouts lately so I thought I'd share some of the workout videos I've been following. Here are a few that have been useful for me AND don't necessarily need equipment but of course you can always use some for an extra burn :)

35-Minute Nike HIIT Workout
I found this video on PopSugar and saved it for a day where I just really wanted to sweat. It exceeded my expectations because I finished this workout feeling like I really got my butt kicked. Mission. Accomplished! I really like how it offers a modified version for when I just need to slow down and also a more advanced version for when I want to push myself.

30-Minute Flat Abs & Toned Booty Workout
Another PopSugar video! I have been loving trying different core workouts and this video has some great moves. Once again, it is split up into 3 levels so you can choose which works best for you along the way.

20-Minute Arms & Abs Workout
Okay, one last PopSugar video! This is a great video for when you just want a quick, efficient workout. I love the way some of the exercises both arms and the core at the same time. It might be a quick workout, but you really feel the burn- even if you do the modified exercises!

Blogilates Apartment Friendly Series
If you live in an apartment, the last thing you want to do is jump all around and annoy your neighbors. Cassey from Blogilates has a 7-video workout video series that are made for doing in an apartment (no jumping!). I personally don't live in an apartment but workout on my second floor so I don't really want to get too crazy during a workout. These are perfect because they aren't too long either but really make you hurt so good in just a short amount of time!


Question of the Day: Do you have a favorite work out video or series you always go to?

The Unsung Heroes of My Kitchen

Happy Wednesday! It's hard to believe that we have been quarantining for over a month now. Being home all the time now means we are spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Cooking our own meals has given me the chance to fully appreciate all the kitchen gadgets and utensils we were gifted for our bridal shower and wedding. Today I am sharing a handful of those products with you because they are too good not to! Also, maybe you didn't know you needed one of these things ;)

Tortilla Warmer
We recently started making our own tortillas so this is perfect to keep them warm while the rest are being made! You are also able to warm your tortillas in the microwave using this.

Wilton Scoop-It Batter Spoons
I have the set that allows me to scoop out the perfect portion of either mini muffins/cupcakes and regular sized muffins/cupcakes into my baking pans. I love that this takes the guesswork out of baking because I'm not wondering how much batter is too much or too little for each cup.

KitchenMaid Mini Food Chopper
This was not an appliance I really thought I needed at first but now I am glad we registered for it! I've used this mini chopper for many things so far, such as chopping onions, making oat flour out of whole oats, and pureeing ingredients for our homemade pasta sauce. Bonus: it's also super easy to clean!

OXO Good Grips Mixing Bowls
Owning just one of these bowls would be great but having the whole set is a dream when it comes to a recipe that requires multiple bowls. The grips on the bottom and handle make these bowls easy to handle and stay in place while mixing.

Dailyware 6-in-1 Server
I haven't used this server for all it's worth yet, but I'm already obsessed with the fact that it's the cutest cake dome. I keep it displayed on my dining room table as a decoration. It's a double win when I actually have a sweet treat in it ;)

Cuisinart Hand Mixer
I'm sure there are "better" hand mixers out there, and a Kitchenaid is #goals, but I love this one due to the easy storage. The cord and attachments store perfectly in a plastic holder that easily attaches to the bottom of the mixer. This allows me to store it without worrying about losing pieces.

Grippmat Cutting Boards
Once again, I'm sure there are "better" cutting boards out there, but these serve me the best at this point. They are thin and easy to store almost anywhere. The colors allow you to assign each one a specific item to cut on it (fruits, veggies, poultry, etc.) and the grip on the bottom keeps the mat in place while cutting.

Pyrex Storage Set
Once you're done cooking and baking to your heart's content, you will need to store those leftovers (if there are any!). My go-to storage option is a glass Pyrex dish. No matter the size or shape, these dishes are perfect and well worth the investment!


Question of the Day: What appliance or gadget is the unsung hero of your kitchen?

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! This week really flew by for me. It was technically my spring break but the only real difference compared to the past couple weeks is that I wasn’t on any real schedule during the day. All in all it was a good week! We have a pretty low key weekend ahead of us. My only real plan is to “run” with my friend Rachel this weekend since Sunday would’ve been our marathon. As of now I think we are planning to do a 10-miler and talk to each other during it.

Here are a few things I’ve been loving this week!

The Science of Well-Being Yale University Class
Honestly, I don't even remember how I found out about this, probably somewhere on Facebook. But anyway, Yale offers their class The Science of Well-Being for FREE (unless you want to pay like, $50 to get an actual course completion certificate) through Coursera! I chose to audit the class because I really didn't need to prove to anybody that I took it. It's a 10-week class but you can take it as fast or as slow as you want. I've made it a habit to complete the lectures on Monday or Tuesday and then focus on the "rewirements" for the week. The "rewirements" are little tasks we need to complete daily that go along with the week's topic. For example, this week we are talking about gratitude so the "rewirement" is to write down 5 things we are grateful this week. All in all, it's been a wonderful time-killer for me during everything going on right now and if it can really help increase my happiness and build more productive habits, then it's a win-win.

Snail Mail
Continuing on with ways to distract myself, snail mail has been a fun way to pass the time lately! My nephew and I have been sending mail back and forth which gives me something to look forward to. He sends me adorable drawings and I usually respond with a fun card and some stickers. I also have a pen pal from Minnesota who has been fun to keep up with. A friend of mine even sent me a cute card a week or so ago that made my day! Long story short, snail mail has been a great distraction lately so I highly recommend taking a few minutes to send a cute card or letter to a friend or family member.

Limited Edition Nuun Flavors
On April 1st, Nuun released two new limited edition flavors Nuun Sport that everyone went wild about. The first one was a new, never before seen flavor, Kiwi Strawberry. The second was a long-awaited returning flavor that had been retired in 2015, Kona Cola + Caffeine! I hadn't tried the Kona Cola flavor in the past but decided I needed to try it due to the way everybody raved about it. I ordered a few tubes of each and was thrilled when they showed up last week. I've had the chance to try both (maybe even more than once) and in my opinion, both are great! Kiwi Strawberry has a great fruity flavor that I crave after a long run. Kona Cola tablets smell like those bottle cap candies, but once dissolved in water, they have a flavor that is a mix between flat soda and those cola gummies. I've never been a soda person but for some reason am loving Kona Cola! Even though they are limited edition flavors, both are still available to order as of now.
