While Christmas is 29 days away, no worries, Nordstrom has some great gift ideas from $50! I am happy to report that contactless curbside pick up was a breeze and it even came with a free coffee or hot chocolate. I really liked the option to pick up in store as sometimes I need something RIGHT AWAY and can’t wait. My team scoured the Nordstrom site to find only our top favorites under $50. Here’s why we chose them:
I am living in these joggers, I bought them in black and I’m on day 3. Guilty as charged. Now, I want them in dark gray as well. After all, 2020 is the year of the jogger.
This robe is as fluffy IRL as it looks online. The faux fur trim on the hood and interior is sooo soft. While I don’t really use the hood, I feel like ice princess when I wear it, and the kids give me extra hugs because it is THAT soft. Win-win.
If you’re looking for a quality slip-on slippers without the hype or weird fit, look to none other than this $44 pair. Reid almost stole them tonight as I watched him tell me he needs another new pair. Yes, we can share shoes, thats for another blog post!
This bra was in my cart for 5 hot seconds before it was sold out again. It made it to the top 10 because ALL my blogger friends swear by it, its on sale, and that’s why its sold out again! Crazy. I’m going to try and hope for a re-stock. I like the “bronzed” color.
I got so many compliments on this red beanie when I wore it in Omaha to visit my in-laws. There is something about a pop of red, and did I mention its $29?
The Wubby fleece pullover is that perfect pullover to wear after you ate 3 too many slices of pumpkin pie and want to watch the last scene from Love Actually. Comfy and under $40. Bam!
$40 Dog tag necklace, a perfect stocking stuffer for young and old, sold!

Reid’s Fitness Journey

by Shalice Noel

I’ve always been into fitness.  You could say since the age I started swimming at our neighborhood pool.  I swam competitively starting at age 5 and didn’t stop until the end of high school.  Swimming taught me a lot about self-discipline.  Going to swim practice after school was draining in middle school.  But going to swim practice before and after school was even more draining.  It was that routine that made me a morning person today.  While those training days were exhausting, I was motivated to always be better the next day.  The fitness lifestyle is just that.  A little improvement everyday. 

As a swimmer, you learn to push your endurance and that is much the same idea I use in my weight training.  I always try to do one more rep.  It’s really not about counting reps and stopping at a pre-determined number ie. 10.  It’s about pushing your body to the max.  Taking every last muscle fiber and killing it in order for it to grow back better and stronger. 

As a avid lifter and trainer, I also realized my nutrition is key.  Otherwise the time spent in the gym is futile.  Shalice has all the credit concerning my diet.  When we first got married she pushed me to stop drinking soda drinks.  I grew up drinking soda at least 1-2 time a day!  (I’ve been off soda for 10 years now?)  And I don’t get cavities anymore either.  Shalice also started me on celery juice.  See her celery juice recipe and benefits in THIS POST. I have a large glass of celery juice on ice before I eat anything else.  I also try to not eat anything until lunch time.  I’ve noticed my “dad bod” spare tire is deflating and that makes me happy.  Lastly, Shalice has me taking LIFE liquid collagen and the Trim in lemon.  How does Trim work you ask? Trim contains CLA which is conjugated linoleic acid. The most well-established benefit of CLA is a fat fighting power. CLA is clinically shown to reduce fat cells size over time meaning you can have a great impact on the visibility of cellulite. CLA also helps your body build muscle rather than store fat and has anti-inflammatory properties. As for the Biocell LIFE Collagen I take, here are some of the benefits: improves joint mobility and lubrication reduces joint discomfort, promotes healthy cartilage and connective tissue, supports cardiovascular health, promotes healthy hair, skin, gums and eyes.

Shalice’s code is this: 3697593, to get $10 off for first time customers.

It’s incredible the extra flex I get as a result in taking Trim and Biocell Life in the last couple months.  I noticed much more cut in my mid-section and at 42 years old, I never thought I would have an almost 8-pack.

I guess I’m proof that if I can do it, you can do it.

Needless to say.  I love working out.  I love weight training.  But without good nutrition, consistency in training and proper supplementation, you may not reach your goals.  Keep up the grind.  Push for one more rep.  Practice self-discipline and everything will fit into place.

Rise and Grind friends.

Love this jacket! I got a lot of questions on the sizing on it, I went up to a size 6 so I could layer underneath.

Reid and I have been living in lululemon for much of this summer and our most recent road trips so it only made sense that we round up our favorites today on the blog. Since it is also the season for giving, we rounded up our favorites for the women and men in your life. Also, since many of you asked, I’m sharing one of my favorite (healthy) breakfast meals, an Acai bowl! You can makes changes like adding coconut shreds adding or omitting chia seeds, etc.

I love wearing these super flattering align leggings, post workout ready jacket, and awesome carry-all gym slash mom bag. 

Tis’ the season! Shop our gift guides below:

Dear Friends, 

Today is the day!! Modere has very few sales, and this is one of them!

I feel like Oprah when I say, TODAY IS THEIR BLACK FRIDAY SALE!

LIQUID GOLD IS NOW 30% off.

Don’t forget to go the SHOP BLACK FRIDAY SALES tab


 You already know if you follow me on my blog and stories, that I’m a huge fan of liquid collagen. I have had knee discomfort relief within 2 weeks of using it and awesome healthy full hair within 6 weeks.  Although results may vary and it is important to take your vitamins for optimum absorption, I’m seen very positive results in 3 months.

It dawned on my one day as I was applying expensive serum, that we are so concerned with applying collagen, HA, and vitamins to our faces that we forget we need to ingest hyaluronic acid and liquid collagen. Within 2 weeks of taking the liquid collagen, my knee discomfort had subsided. That’s saying a lot for a 37 year old mother of 5 children!
 
As promised, I told you all I’d let you know when the collagen sale would go live. Well guess what, they’re having a sale! The sale is good from November 16, to November 28, while supplies last!
 
Today is a perfect time to take advantage of 30% off Liquid Biocell collagen, 5 pack of body butter and cell proof lip complex. I swear by the laundry detergent, they’re debuting a new flavor blackberry trim, my kids love the body butter and I use their eye makeup remover. Honestly, so many favorites.

How do you take it? 
I take 1 tablespoon in the morning and I tablespoon at night of liquid biocell life.

What I’ve noticed so far taking the biocell LIFE collagen: 
 
 
Skin is more youthful 
Smoother and tighter skin even on belly 
 

What I’ve noticed with trim but results will vary:

 
I’m not craving gummy bears
Not always hungry 
Fluff is gone 
Body composition is leaning out

Happy Veterans Day! We’re enjoying a balmy 37 degree day in Omaha with my in-laws. My kids interviewed my dad and father-in-law about serving in the military and air force, respectively. I thought it was a cool assignment for them, and meaningful one for me. It reminded me how grateful I am for their service.

Today I’m wearing spanx (size up) a tan hoodie (fall must-have) faux fur coat (under $80!) and my favorite Nordic boots! I’ve had these boots for 3 years and I STILL LOVE THEM.

All I want for Christmas is liquid COLLAGEN! ?


You already know if you follow me on my blog and stories, that I’m a huge fan of liquid collagen. I have had knee joint pain gone within 2 weeks of using it and awesome hair growth within 6 weeks.  Although, the latter has afforded me more gray hairs and more need for coloring my hair. Who knew more hair growth means more work? I’ll take it. 

Guess what?! Modere is having their pre-sale today, and only open to existing customers
