my favorite non-boozy drinks!

I'm not much of a drinker (of alcoholic beverages)...maybe a glass of wine every so often, but I don't derive the same joy that most get from alcohol. I'd much rather have dessert or a tasty non-alcoholic drink! So today, I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite non-boozy drinks that I simply LOVE...

Kimino Yuzu Sparkling Juice ($4) and Kimino Ume/Plum Sparkling Juice ($4) is perfectly sparkly, fruity, and tart without being too sweet. I love It with a meal or as a fun little afternoon treat.

Minna Sparkling Tea ($3) is a new favorite. It almost tastes like La Croix but with a tea essence instead of fruit. It's light and refreshing, and a surprisingly fun combo.

You either love kombucha or you hate it! The first time I tried it several years ago, I thought it was awful, but I've recently fallen in love with Healthade Kombucha ($4) and drink a few a week. It has a touch of tea for caffeine and feels very refreshing to have throughout the day.

Clevr SuperLattes ($28 for 14 servings) makes a great alternate to picking up a very expensive latte at your local coffee shop! It's easy to make it at home by just adding hot water AND it's dairy-free. I love mixing the Chai and Coffee versions together for a my own version of a Dirty Chai Latte!

When you need something just a little sweet, this Sangaria Milk Tea ($2) is a great afternoon pick-me-up!

a few of my favorite snacks lately...

I am a HUGE snacker. I'm someone who can't usually finish a whole meal, but instead can snack on things throughout the day. I also find that snacking helps with my blood sugar level (aka crankiness levels) in the afternoon so I'm pretty much always looking for snacks I can keep at work, at home, and in my car to avoid getting hangry like I can sometimes! Ha. Sometimes I share my go-to snacks on Instagram stories but wanted to post them here so they can stay together in an easy-to-find list for you guys. So here goes...

a {giveaway} with instacart...(NOW CLOSED)

As a working mom of two, I feel like I have less and less time to get stuff done every day. I've talked before about using delivery services, apps, and other tools help make your life a little easier. Grocery delivery is one of those modern day conveniences that has made my life SO much easier. There are so many times when I don't have time to load up the kids and make a big trip to the grocery store...but I still need food to stock my fridge. I've used Instacart for over a year now and have been a regular customer because I can get my usual favorites from my local grocery stores (like Whole Foods or Gelson's), but it shows up at my door within 1-2 hours and allows me to do something I'd rather be doing in that time...like spend time with my kids!
