I love going to events, and luckily enough for me, my profession requires me to attend and host events all the time. So I went to the 1st annual Blossom festival in Wallace to cover it for the newspaper and found out while I was there that it was being hosted by Indulge Nutrition and Redefined Home Décor Gifts and More. They are two local businesses inside the Wallace Crossing Shopping Center where the Walmart used to be. The shopping center has been empty for years, and now that there are businesses there the two business owners thought it would be a good idea to host an event there to bring awareness to the shops there.
It was a neat event to be
the first time. They had about 30 vendors there including food trucks. What I
really liked about it was that they had Johnson Nursey there doing potting
classes. I am a homeowner now and I want to learn how to do gardening, so that
free class was right on town. Of course being the foodie that I am, I decided
to check out Indulge Nutrition since they were the host.
While I
was there, I met the owner Megan Barror. She was a young energetic woman. While
talking to her I noticed that she was really loved her business and how she got
to help people on their health journey. Even though I am a complete foodie, I
am very health conscious and I love learning about the things I am putting into
my body so I was really interested to hear about all the cool flavored products
she was making with her Herbal Life products. She sells shakes, flavored teas,
and even some snack items she makes with the products. I was sold. Flavorful
AND healthy! Sign me up for a taste!
She first started working with the products when her sister opened a shop in another town. She fell in love and then opened her business a couple years ago in another location just up the street in Wallace. She didn’t really like the location and was excited to move to the Wallace Crossing location.
So what did I try? I wasn’t in the mood for a shake that day. It was hot out and I was already thirsty. So I decided to try a tea. I got the dragonfly tea. The original drink comes with herbal life powder, watermelon, pink lemonade, coconut, and collagen. I’m not a fan of coconut so I substituted it with blue razz, and I also got protein. It was delicious! So fruity but no added sugar at all. I hadn’t eaten yet because I knew I was going to a festival and was going to check out the food trucks, but between the nutrients and the protein, I was so full! I didn’t even eat anything which saved me money AND calories. Sounds like a win to me! I couldn’t even finish it and was able to skip eating breakfast the next day too. So I basically got two meals for one. I also tried a fat burner shot. I got the blue laffy taffy prolessa shot. It was a little chalky but it did have a really good taste and helped me burn calories the whole day.
I have
heard of herbal life before, and I knew people used it for health purposes and
to lose weight but I never really looked into it. After trying that, I am
definitely considering adding it to my regimen. Especially because of all of
the health benefits. It boosts metabolism, has aloe which helps with your
digestive system, has several vitamins like vitamin A, B, C, and D, has whey
protein, is a soy based protein, and is sugar free. Sound like a great product
to me.
If you
are an Herbal Life user or are really into taking care of your body, I highly
suggest checking out Indulge Nutrition. When it comes to choosing a healthy yet
tasty place to shop, I give it an A!
