a lonestar state of southern

Whenever the holidays roll around, I’m amazed at two things: 1) how much sugar I start consuming (all the holiday treats, please!) and 2) how easily I start feeling run-down. All of hustle and bustle, no matter how festive, usually leaves me running at 70% instead of 100%.

So, it’s always around this time of year that I start especially caring about how I can take care of myself. Nothing drastic, but little things I can do to make it through the holiday season feeling great!

When an email for Ritual Essential Multivitamin popped into my inbox, seeing if I would be interested in trying their multivitamin, I was instantly intrigued. You’re looking at a gummy-vitamin guru over here… but let’s be honest. I choose them based on taste, not on what my body needs. (Oops.) Ritual, on the other hand, contains nine key nutrients to:

• help fill nutrient gaps
• support red blood formation
• help your body use the calcium you get from food with “calcium-helper” nutrients
• provide antioxidant support to fight free radicals

I’ve been really impressed as I’ve learned more about this brand, and I am honored to partner with Ritual in exploring why today!

Transparency in this day in age is hard to come by, but Ritual does one of the best jobs I’ve seen of making sure you know what is in their multivitamins. Here’s what you’ll find:

• 9 key nutrients to help fill the gaps in your diet
• Transparently sourced ingredients
• Folate, Vitamin D3, Boron, Omega-3 DHA, Iron, Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, Vitamin K2, Magnesium

Here’s what you won’t find:

• Added fillers, colorants or sketchy additives

So in a nutshell.. the good stuff without the bad stuff.

I think what I love the most about these little pills is how easy it’s been to incorporate them into my morning routine. Due to the delayed-release no-nausea capsule design, I can take them first thing (before breakfast) without having to worry about feeling sick to my stomach.

The bottle (isn’t it the prettiest?) has a perch right on my bedside table, along with a glass of water that I fill every night. Each morning, my Ritual is one of the first things I see! I love that after taking my daily dose I’ve already done one good thing before the day even has begun. Talk about productivity! :)

With each passing year, I come to realize more and more just how important it is to take care of the bodies we’ve been given. I’m thankful that Ritual makes it simple and easy to do so!

Love from the Sunshine State,
