IDEES CADEAUX DE NOËL Bien être

We’re entering my favorite period of the year……. AKA Christmas !!! Omg

I LIVE for the Christmas decoration, the Christmas lights, the Christmassy baking with super cute molds, putting my “ Best Time Of the Year “ Spotify Playlist all day long, and watching all the Christmas movies on Netflix every night… I admit it, I’m really obsessed with Christmas!!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m clearly more and island girl, I dream of living next to the ocean wearing a Bikini 24/7, swimming, surfing, tanning, and eating Açaï Bowl. But I’ve been raised and born in a country where Winter DOES really exist with the cold, the rain, and the big coats. So of course here Christmas is the highlight of my winter ahah.

So I thought of you and I assumed that maybe this year you’re lacking a bit of inspo concerning what to get to your loved ones.

No worries, I created this special Health & Fitness gifts list for you!!

1. LEGGING

Okay, I feel like if your loved one is into fitness… buy her a legging and she will marry you. I’m not kidding here this is the best gift for a girl who loves working out because we never ever have enough legging or activewear in general. Lululemon is a high quality one so if you want to hit the spot that’s the right one. But you can also pick one up from other brands. For more ideas just click here, to see my post about my favorite Activewear!

2. SUPPLEMENTS

I’m a true believer that health comes first from within and what you eat, your lifestyle, your workout, stress levels and so on. BUT sometimes, supplements HELP, and I love getting high quality ones when I need to. But because it’s priceeyyyy…. it doesn’t happen everyday ahah. I would say Collagen Peptides is a really good one for skin health and hair.

Vital Proteins, Terra Origin, the Beauty Chef, and Sports Research, are my favorites.

3. YOGA MAT

I was already a fan of my mat, but since lockdown happened, I definitely needed to adapt and do all my workouts from home. If you don’t have any dumbbells, kettlebells, weights, resistance band etc, as long as you’ve got a mat, you CAN workout! Ab circuits, bodyweight workouts, animal flow, stretching, yoga, … there’s actually a lot of possibilities for you to train even from home. But a good mat can sometimes be a bit expensive so YES that’s a really cool gift!!

4. HEALTHY COOKBOOK

Someone who is into health & fitness is likely to love cooking, so what’s better than a good cookbook to get some inspo and try new recipes? These are really good ones !

5. BLENDER

Smoothies, smoothie bowl, nut butter, soups, sauce, … you name it. You can do a lot from home with a good blender !

So here’s my favorites : Vitamix, Ninja, and Nutribullet.

REUSABLE CUP

People are busy sometimes, but it doesn’t mean they have to give up on their favorite drinks. From coffee, to chai latte, tea, or hot chocolate, you can bring your favorite drinks wherever you go by using a reusable cup. Plus, by bringing your own cup to cafes, you will get a discount most of the time, and it saves the planet ! yay.

ANKLE WEIGHTS

Ankle weights are so convenient, especially nowadays when we are stick in our apartments doing home workouts. I found the most aesthetic ankle weights for you ! Hailey Bieber and Jessica Alba use them.

WATER BOTTLE

I carry mine EV ERY WHERE and I traveled a lot of times with it too! I love it because it helps me measuring how much water I drink during the day, I usually opt for 2/3 bottles a day so I know I got my water intake in. For people who workout a lot, this is essential !!

GLASS STRAWS

If you love health and fitness…. you obviously love smoothies or juices too. So what’s better than glass straws ? Nothing because 1) protect the environment 2) looks incredibly aesthetic. Period.

The 5 MINUTE JOURNAL

Writing down your thoughts in the morning is so beneficial for the mind and starting your day the right way ! If you’re lacking a bit of motivation and need some guidelines to start journaling this is perfect!

WEIGHTED BLANKET

I can’t say that enough : SLEEP is key! When you want to be healthy, having a good sleep routine, and being able to sleep well and going into a deep sleep phase is crucial. If you’ve never tried a weighted blanket before, it’s like a biiiig hug and the next second you’re already sleeping like a baby.

THERAGUN

You can’t even imagine the number of times during the day where I ask my boyfriend “ Please can you massage my neck and upper back ??? “. He’s honestly tired of it lmao! But these new massage guns came out perfectly because it helps reduce spam and tension in the muscles.The best recovery tool so far!

BOXING GLOVES

I guess I look like a really calm and chill person, like for me Crossfit is a no and any dangerous or risky sport is a big NO. I don’t like risk AT ALL. But Boxing (only with a sandbag or someone who is using pads, not to fight)…. Gosh I LOVE IT!! I think it’s one of my favorite way to workout and I’ve always dreamed to have my own gloves so I can bring them to the gym and hit that punching bag!!

PROTEIN BARS

I love to make my own healthy protein bars, but let’s be honest, sometimes you’re short on time, and it’s always convenient to have some protein bars on hand! These are my favorite brands, made with wholesome ingredients and taste delicious.

COCONUT BOWLS

Your smoothie will look 100% more attractive and pretty in a coconut bowl. Plus, it reminds me of holidays and the beach every time I pour mine into my coconut bowls. It’s eco friendly and sustainable! If you want a discount of 10% on your order use my CODE : “ CEB6A436 “

AIR FRYER

THIS changed my cooking game !!! Sweet potato fries, regular fries, butternut, veggies, etc. You can put a LOT of different stuff in this and it ends up super crispy and crunchy, but without the need of ANY oil!! This is pure magic.

FOAM ROLLER

The best thing after working out ? Stretching and foam rolling!! I could foam roll four hours for my legs and back. It’s important to recover and even though some gyms have foam rollers, it’s still great to have one at home!
