NOW Foods 2018 Immersion Event

Beauty

 

This post was sponsored by NOW as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Keep scrolling to read more about the NOW Foods 2018 Immersion Event!

NOW Foods 2018 Immersion Event

Hello, friends!

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to fly into Chicago to attend the NOW Immersion Event. Through this event I learned all about an amazing company, met some fellow bloggers, and left with a few friendships! I can’t wait to share more about this awesome trip with you, so let’s get started!

About NOW Foods

NOW has more than 1,400 high-quality, natural, and affordable products. Before attending the event I must admit that I didn’t know too much about them as a company. I knew they sold essential oils, but I had no idea they had such a wide variety of products! They have everything from foods, supplements, sports nutrition, health, beauty, and essential oils. If you’d like to learn more about them as a company you can read their story here.

What sets NOW apart from other companies? Their Quality Control and Quality Assurance programs. I had the opportunity to tour their facilities and see it all first hand. I can tell you that NOW puts passion behind everything they do, they go above and beyond what is required to bring you pure, natural products. They offer more than 900 nutritional supplements all at a great price point.

Day One

The first day was flying in, meeting some of the other attendees, and having an Iron Chef-style cook-off incorporating NOW Foods products. But first things first, when I checked into the hotel I had all of these goodies there waiting for me!

What made this trip so special is the celebration of their 50th Anniversary. And how are they celebrating? By saying thanks to everyone by offering up the “Celebrate NOW” Instant-Win Game where YOU can have a chance to win 50 – $10,000 prizes! How fo you enter? It’s simple –  NOW is producing one million supplement bottles across 50 SKUs with special gold caps. Find a golden ticket inside one of the golden-cap bottles and you instantly win $10,000 (upon meeting eligibility requirements and prize verification). Check here for more details about the Game, including Official Rules, a list of eligible products, and alternate means of entry.

For the cooking event and dinner, I wore one of my favorite (and super comfortable) dresses. It was so fun to get all dolled up and head out for the night with some fun people! And although the blue team didn’t win the challenge, we still had a lot of fun!

Day Two

Morning Kickboxing Class

We kicked off day two (literally) with a morning kickboxing class! I left sweaty, exhausted, but so proud of myself for attempting it! Here’s a little post-workout selfie for ya! For all of my Endometriosis gals, you all know the pain of working out – but I did it!

DIY Smoothie Station & Sports Presentation

After the workout, we headed over to create our own DIY Smoothies at a fun Smoothie bar! While we were there we also got to learn all about the NOW sports products from their Sports Brand Manager. The smoothies were delicious and I learned a lot! After the smoothie making, I opted to go back to the hotel and shower instead of breakfast, but the smoothie had me full and feeling great! 

Factory Tour

Like I mentioned earlier, we had the chance to tour the factory and it was so cool to see it all behind the scenes! There were scientists at work, and it was really neat to be able to catch a glimpse! And the protective gear we wore made for some great photo ops!

Lunch

After the guided tour where they walked us through the various areas, we were treated to the most delicious lunch! And I mean deeeee-licious.

DIY Natural Health and Beauty

After our yummy lunch, we were taught how to make some fun DIY beauty products! We made a refreshing facial mist and a relaxing bath soak. Both products smelled so amazing, and I even took them home and used them to treat myself to a little spa night! I couldn’t wait to try out the bath soak and man-oh-man was it amazing! After we made our DIY beauty products we got to hear an inspiring presentation from Toni Church (@runninglovingliving).

The two days were jam-packed with information, fun, and it really was such a treat to be able to attend. But, I was also excited to head home to see the boys and even more excited to start incorporating some of NOW Foods products into our lifestyle.

🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙 Hi, friends! There are l 🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙

Hi, friends! There are lots of new faces around here thanks to @roseybeeme - (thank you so much, Rosey) so I wanted to do an intro!

👋🏼 Hi, I’m Kendall!

✨ I live with chronic illness and am in pain every single day. I try to lead with positivity so it doesn’t swallow me whole.

✨ I met my husband at a coffee shop. I used to go to write in my journal and escape - at that time I was living in my car and having a warm comfy space to relax and collect my thoughts was essential. Meeting William saved my life. More on that later. 

✨ I’m an enneagram 2 and a highly-sensitive person. What does this mean? I’m super empathetic towards others and can almost feel their emotions. I carry the weight of others a lot - I enjoy making people feel better. Oh, and I cry, a lot.

✨ I started my blog back in 2009 when my endometriosis pain kept me from being able to do anything. It was something I could do from home, in bed, to connect with the outside world. I never thought it’d end up being my full-time career, passion, and how my hubby & I provide for our family. Just know when you like & comment on my content - you’re truly helping our fam! ♥️

✨ I have two sons. Wyatt is 9 and has Autism. He’s taught me so much about patience, love, and life. I wouldn’t change anything about him, even on the hard days, because I know he was born to do great things. My youngest son is Levi, he is 6 and was born with clubfoot. He did treatment for 4 years, had surgery, and has worn several casts to correct his foot. If you saw him now, you’d never know!

✨ I am happier now at 34 than I have ever been in my entire life. I always wanted a family that loved me. I always wanted to feel safe. Now I have both.

✨ I believe that you can make whatever you want out of life. Your beginnings only make you stronger - your future is your own. 

💕✨ TELL ME ABOUT YOU! What’s something you feel comfortable sharing so we can get to know eachother better! ✨💕

✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad thi ✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad things that are said about us, as opposed to the good?✨

🧠 Could it be because at some point those same negative thoughts have echoed in our own heads as well?

Too fat.
Too loud.
Too opinionated.
Too sick.
Too moody.

Remember that you’re never too much of anything. Protect your space, energy, time, and most importantly, your heart.

You deserve to be surrounded by good people that want good things for you. If at any time you feel that you need to take a step back, reevaluate and realign, do so!

🧠 Your mental health and how you feel about yourself is so incredibly important. ✨GOOD✨ things are coming your way and you won’t be able to see the light if you never flip the switch.

🌧 We left this morning to go pick up our puppy and in the rain, in a not-so-nice part of town, our windshield wipers stopped working completely. (See stories) 🙈

I was 23 years old.

I had just had my first ever laparoscopy after dealing with years and years of unexplained pain with hopes that the doctors would finally be able to solve the puzzle, and would finally be able to figure me out.”

🥵 When I wake up on a bad pain day and already feel defeated it can be hard to make my toes touch the floor. Sometimes my body and mind make me feel like there’s no point - that whatever my day holds will include an intense pain, and I’ll have to deal with it whether I like it or not.

💕 But if I stretch myself just a little, put on a cute sweatsuit and mascara - I begin to build an armor. But instead of this armor keeping me safe from the world, it’s keeping me safe from myself, my illness, and the thought that it controls me.

☁️ It’s like being wrapped in warm, cozy comfort, even though your insides are hurting. And on weeks where I just can’t get a break with my pain, I kick things up a notch and throw on a party dress - preferably something with a little pizzaz. 

✨That’s why I really fell in love with clothing, because I can’t change the inside, I can’t make my illness go away, but I can combat it with my own kind of light. ✨
