Oral IV Review

A little while ago I was sent an interesting new product to sample and review called Oral IV. Being pregnant I double checked with my OB to make sure it is safe to use during pregnancy, and he saw no issue with it. So after a long awaited review here we go.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!

I am known for my honestly when it comes to reviews. If I don't like something...I will gladly let y'all know. And the maker as well. But Oral IV gets an A+ in my book.

Taken directly from their website here is a great explanation of the product...better than I could ever give anyways...

     "ORAL I.V. is a revolutionary hydration aid product based on a proprietary formula of crystalloid electrolytes and purified water. ORAL I.V. does not contain any sugars, caffeine or stimulants, additives, preservatives or artificial ingredients. It can be consumed directly or added to water. Individuals can use ORAL I.V. as an addition to their existing hydration methods and to support dehydration prevention."

I haven't been... what you would say, overly physical while pregnant, but I have been active nonetheless. The important thing to remember as well is that I am PREGNANT and live in FLORIDA. Both of which means I dehydrate a lot more quickly than the average Joe does during physical activity. And hydration is VERY VERY VERY important when you are pregnant.

So when did I put Oral IV to good use you ask? And how did is help me recover?

Excellent questions. I shall answer them both.

I decided to go for a walk. Only a couple miles. Nothing too strenuous. But it was hottttt! So I fixed myself a big ol' glass of water, and headed out the door. Then I saw that white package on the counter. And I thought that with as hot as it was, as pregnant as I was, it might not hurt to grab a little pack of Oral IV. 
*One of the great things about Oral IV is that is it small and very convenient to pack along. 
About a mile into my walk I got that overheated, and almost overwhelmed feeling and ripped open my pack, threw it back, and stopped to take a breather. Within a few minutes I already began to feel better. My color returned and I was able to complete my two mile walk. When I got home I waited several hours, and had some more Oral IV mixed into my tea with dinner.
*Its wonderful during activity and after for recovery.

I slept like a baby that night.

I also plan to pack the couple of remaining packs I have in my hospital bag to take during and after delivery. Yes I will be hooked up to a regular IV, but labor and delivery take a major toll on your reserves, and I think that Oral IV and I will be long lasting friends.

It is perfect for a small time fitness gal like me, or even someone as physical as a marathon runner!

Chobani, Bondi Bands, Allergies ...Oh My!

So recently I have had the amazing privilege and joy of trying out a couple of awesome products. I cannot wait to share either! GIVEAWAY TIME! I received a case of Chobani Flips to review...and as we all know yogurt is a staple in most healthy diets...especially mine. I have been a Chobani nut for over a year now. It is one of my favorite and most filling snacks, not to mention the protein ! It is a quick and easy breakfast if needed, or an awesome post-workout snack. And now that it is summertime it is super refreshing on a hot summer day! There were so many yummy types to try...and I could not wait to dig in! There were two of each, so 12 in total! They are fair in calories, low in sugar, and taste great. The day I got the case I did a little jig, and then hunted down a spoon. The first flip I sampled was the Almond Coco Loco ...                           IT WAS DIVINE!!!...and my favorite! Se...

Polka Dot Grins

I have a little white polka dot keepsake box. I found it at Beall's Outlet , and it only cost $3.99. It was a great bargain, and it is absolutely adorable. Yet, it is a confusing little polka dot box. Full of some of the most cherished, loved, prized memories...and full of some of the most indescribably painful, horrible, unforgettable pain. It's a cute white box with gold polka dots on the outside, and a light pink interior. It has a gold bow on the front. It makes a beautiful dust collector that now resides on top of my dresser, taking precedence over makeup and hair accessories. It sat there empty for a few days before I decided to use it for the purpose in which I bought it; to store some of my most precious keepsakes. Inside are the few items that I get to hold in place of my nephew. The few physical possessions that remind me that he really did exist. That he was more than just a victim. That he was a little pain in the rear while incubating. That he spent the first n...

One Year Later- No Less Heartache

Every time I have started working on the one year anniversary blog about John's death I back space it away. I just can't put into words what it is I would like to say. So I've decided to just let it all flow freely, and whatever comes out this time, stays...please forgive my rambling... I miss him. So much. You know the saying "you miss them so much it hurts". It's true. I miss him so much it hurts. It has hurt since September 5th 2016. It hurts just as much now as it did then. I know people say time heals, and it will get easier, but it doesn't. I move along in my life, yes, but I find myself stuck in a cold PICU room often. I can literally walk myself down the hall at Monroe Regional in my mind. My dad standing there in the corner of the hospital all alone. My mom puffy eyed from crying, coming out of the double doors. John being pushed through on a gurney to his helicopter flight. So many wires. So many devices being used to keep his frail and broke...
