Starbucks Refreshers

1 Comment


Lately I have been on the lookout for a refreshing pick me up in the afternoons when I am dragging.  Don’t get me wrong I love coffee but it isn’t very refreshing. I then came across an opportunity to try Starbucks Refreshers Sparkling Beverages which sounded like it could be just what I was looking for.

I had tried the Very Berry Hibiscus Starbucks Handcrafted Refresher at my local Starbucks a few weeks ago with my free birthday drink coupon and I really enjoyed it so I was excited to try the Starbucks Refreshers Sparkling Beverages.

Raspberry Pomegranate

This was the first flavor that I tried and I really enjoyed it.  It was a wonderful combination of raspberry and pomegranate, a little tangy and a little sweet.

The second flavor I tried was the Strawberry Lemonade.  I also enjoyed this one because if you know me you know how much I love lemonade.  I was addicted to anything citrus, especially lemonade throughout my entire pregnancy.

The last one I tried was the Orange Melon Refresher which was my favorite!  I was actually surprised that I enjoyed as much as I did.  I like melon but not usually in drinks and I really am not a fan of orange soda so I tried this flavor last thinking that I wouldn’t like it but I actually LOVED it.  The orange and melon paired really well together without either flavor overpowering the other.
Each beverage is a sparkling, delicious boost of natural energy from Green Coffee Extract you can enjoy anytime. With real fruit juice, B vitamins, ginseng, antioxidants from vitamin C and only 60 calories per can, it’s a pick-me-up you can feel good about.

Refueling During Busy Days

2 Comments

I thought I was busy before I had a baby but although I stopped working at my part time office job to become a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom I am still busier than ever.  My days require constant refueling to get me through my days because being a mom is a 24-7 job that I absolutely love but I am thankful that I have an amazing partner to help me out because when he is on dad duty I can get work done, make us meals and shower.

To help keep me energized throughout the day I try and get up early and make a nice big bowl of  oatmeal and enjoy a mug of tea or coffee and a large glass of water.  I have found that having a nutritious and filling breakfast really helps me start the day right.

 

After completing our early morning routine I like to try and either get out for a walk with Edie or do baby yoga with her and if I’m lucky and she decides to nap I like to get in a more intense at home workout.  A good workout gives me an energy boost to help me make it through the late morning and afternoon.

My last refuel of the day is making time for me in the evening.  I love my husband and my daughter but I just need a few minutes of peace and quiet at night that is just for me. When Neil gets home I hand over parenting duties to him and I jump in the shower to relax, refresh and of course clean up! This then helps me make it through the remainder of the evening.
