Day 30

Alas, my month has come to an end. As sad as it is, I just need to order a new pack of Thrive! Then all will be well again! Wow, this past week has also been one for the books! Planning and throwing a birthday party for my now 3 yr old is hard while being gone 12-13 hours a day! But, Thrive helped keep me focused! Being that I have yet to order my new pack of Thrive, it will be interesting to see how the next couple of days go... But, I'm going to try to stay off of that coffee train! If you have gotten this far with me, you must be curious. Hop on over to koalakoda.le-vel.com to make an account and try your 3-day sample today!

Day 24

So I'm testing today. Testing by accident! I woke at 0500 to help my husband, who just go home from an 18 hour shift, then went back to sleep. I woke at 0830 realizing that the baby has been away and I slept through his crying! (It wasn't for too long  thankfully, as his cries weren't hysterical. But still!) In my rush to get up, I forgot to take my Thrive capsules. An hour or more later, I wondered why I was still tired and had this ache in my neck...? Then I realized that I forgot to Thrive!! So, at 1000, I decided to take it anyway. My test? If Thrive keeps me up awake when I try to go to bed. I like to say that Thrive gives me all day energy - which it does. But what about when you want to go to sleep? Some days you need to go to bed earlier than usual to wake up earlier than usual. So, today, Since I took Thrive later in the morning, I'm going to see if it really effects me trying to go to sleep. 2200: I am way beyond ready to go to bed. I was ready

Day ????

Wow! So life got crazy after day 13! I apologize for not holding up my side of the bargain and telling you how my day goes wile on Thrive. I'll save you the day by day and give you the overview, since they were all nearly the same: Exhaustion after work Husband working at just the right times to be able to not help with kids/house. Youngest kid not sleeping through the night. Thrive can only do so much! But boy, I'd be asleep on my feet without it! No Lie! But thank goodness for thrive! I went cold turkey on coffee, and haven't looked back! Okay, I'll admit, I did have one cup of coffee! I wanted the taste! And there is this new product for creamer that everyone is trying, and they offered me a cup, and I couldn't resist! I did NOT need the coffee... but they had caramel creamer! My weakness! Yum! .......anyway...... There were times when I considered having a cup of coffee just for the caffeine. At those times, I just used Activate, another product f

Day 13!

Yay! It is Day 13! I'm loving Thrive! How about you?? koalakoda.le-vel.com Check it out if you haven't already! Non-GMO, All Natural, nutrients and energy? Who could ask for more! Actually, there is more! For those of you who prefer USA grown nutrients, look no further!  Anyway, enough about the product... I am craving caramel! Yummy Starbucks caramel drizzle!  But why overload my body with caffeine and sugar? I'll do the next best thing. Since I don't need all of that caffeine, as I am already energized throughout the day, I'll treat myself to the caramel! Caramel Frappe, here I come!!  For those of you afraid of giving up your Starbucks, don't worry! You can have Starbucks still. Just don't get a coffee drink. With all of the natural energy that you're already getting with Thrive, your body does not need extra caffeine. Tomorrow I'll show you how much caffeine is in different drinks, so stay tuned! As for me, Thrive does

Day 11/Day 12

So yesterday, Day 11 , was a very busy day for me! I had to figure out how to get myself and the kids ready for a weeks worth of daycare/work. I spent all day building a diaper bag to leave at daycare for emergencies, packing their clothes because i drop them off at 0430, making lunch for me for a week, getting my clothes ready so I can just get up and go, dinner for that night, dinner for the entire week for my husband, need I go on? Usually, when I have a busy day like that, I would need a nap! both kids took a nap yesterday! But me? I just kept going! I had my Thrive in the morning and away I went to finish my errands! Seriously, I do not know what I would have done without Thrive. I would have been so zoned out and unwilling to do anything! It is such a life saver, that it is worth telling everyone about! Check it out for yourself!   http://Koalakoda.le-vel.com See? Usually I leave that for the end, but I just love Thrive! Why have you waited so long to check it out?

Day 10 / Tips

Hello! Do you want me to go through my day and tell you how much energy I have? Because its the same as last time. I took my Thrive and I'm zooming through the day! 😄 Today I thought I'd tell you of the experiments I've been trying. As with any powdered drink, you're going to get lumps unless you have a blender bottle or you actually put it in the blender. So, I tried different ways to get rid of as many lumps as possible. 1) If you have a bottle without a blender ball, try putting some ice cubes in it when shaking to try to act like a blending ball. 2) Put milk/powder in a cup, stir, place in fridge. Stir occasionally if desired. Stir before you drink. I found less lumps this way as it had time to dissolve. 3) Mix milk/powder in a cup then strain into a second cup through a very small strainer. Push through lumps and dip in milk. (I happen to have one from the 70s that my grandmother gave me, so good luck finding another! I'll keep my eyes open though.

Day 9

Good Afternoon! What? Surprised to see a post during the day? 😄 Today, my off day, I plan to take on the garage! Before and after photos to come! Btw, this morning was rough! The kids woke me up by crying, then were total brats all morning! I even forgot to start my day with Thrive! Almost! About 20 min after being awake, I remembered, ran to my room and took my capsules. THEN, I put mu shake in a cup, put some ice in it, and proceeded to fill my cup with water! WATER!😱 The kids were being such brats that I was on complete auto and made my shake with water. Because why would you put ice in milk?? (More on why there was ice tomorrow) BUT, I can't just throw out my Thrive shake because I put water in it, so, I decided to try it anyway. What do you know! It was still tasty! I think I might try it again one day actually. So, even if you hate almost/soy/coconut/milk, the Thrive shake tastes great with water too! Now, back to cleaning the garage........ Check it

Day 8

What can I tell you that I haven't already? Today was another great day! I got up, I Thrived, and I actually cleaned my kitchen in an hour! Top to bottom! I feel great during the day when I Thrive.  During the night, I sleep like normal.  By Thriving in the morning when I wake up, I have energy all day, and I sleep at night. Actually, I sleep better at night because I've been busy during the day and my body is ready for rest. Perfect combo!  If you question my logic, think of it this way: What do you do to a child when you want them to sleep at night? You tire them out during the day! My choice to tire them out? Let them run around the park for a few hours. Come home, eat, bathe, watch tv, sleep! Actually, watch TV and sleep could be combined as thats when they fall asleep because their body is tired after so much activity. While you may not be running around the park for a few hours, Thrive gives you the energy to get up and do things if thats wha

DAY 7

It has been 1 week full of Thrive! I have been amazed that the energy was always there and there have been no side effects, energy crashes, and overall, I feel great! I love Thrive! My next 3 days, I have off! I will get plenty of sleep and tell you of the amazing effects of Thrive during a time when i would drink coffee instead. Seriously, I do not get any extra endorsements for telling you how much I love Thrive. I know plenty of mothers out there who are exhausted with their kid(s) whether they are SAHMs or Working Moms. (Mother's Day is nearly here! Add this to her gift! The gift of energy and health)  I know WAY TOO MANY fathers out there who work as much as they are allowed to make ends meet for their family. (Father's Day is just around the corner as well! Don't forget to hint about this/get some for yourself! You deserve the abundant energy!) Why not check out Thrive for yourself or for a loved one? There is nothing to loose - unless you're

Day 6

Note to self: Sleep! Note to readers: Why did no one remind me to buy milk!?! Note to self: Don't run out of / forget to buy milk. Why all of these notes? Well, I had such a bad night that I got an hour worth of sleep, max. Thrive is not designed to give you energy when you do not help it take care of your body. BUT, it does help tons!! I don't think I could have stayed awake if I didn't take my Thrive this morning! Note to readers: If you are able, get Activate as well as your Thrive!! It can help when you're not getting enough sleep! While I did eventually start nodding off towards the end of my shift, if  I had drank my shake, I probably would have made it to the end of my shift without nodding off! "Whats this?" You say. "You didn't drink your shake?!?!?!?????" No, I did not. I forgot to buy milk yesterday, you forgot to remind me, I brought my blender bottle to work but was running late and couldn't stop by the store... So, I h

Day 4 / Day 5

Good Evening! First, I need to apologize for not posting yesterday. It was such a hectic day that I just did not have the time! Day 4 My day: 0400 - Thrive Time! Sleepily though, as I am not a morning person! 0530 - Leave for work 1700 - Get home from work 1730 - Drop stuff off at goodwill 1800 - Shower 1820 - Shove everyone in the car to meet new babysitter (YAY!) 1930 - Husband decides he needs to run to the store before going home 2030 - Get home / cook 2230 - Go to bed. Sleep? Not really... it has never come easily to me... Not very many different activities, but each one took a bit of time. Plus, Girls, you know how it is! When your man is home, he wants to be babied. (lol, just kidding!) Actually, on any other day, I never would have gotten that much done without a yawn. While my lack of sleep is making me tired earlier, with Thrive I was able to still come home at 2030 and cook with my husband. Now I'm starting to think "What will I do without Thriv

Day 3 for Thrive; Day 1 for new job!

What do you do the night before a new job? Sleep? Wrong! You get 2 hours of sleep and Thrive! Seriously, today was orientation. Do you know what they do at orientation? They talk. "They" meaning the HR personnel, the representatives from affiliate companies like credit unions, the Union people, the people helping you to decide your medical insurance right then and there... There is a lot of listening going on. Well, listening and writing. But, if you're falling asleep from no sleep and listening to people drone on and on, you don't pay attention to what you're going to write down. Thankfully for me, I have Thrive! Today I pressed snooze on my alarm for the 8th time and just laid there in bed. Not wanting to fully wake up. Then I realized that I have my capsules to take! Otherwise, I'll forget. I can be forgetful. So, because they're within reach, I took them without needing to get up! Score! Or just laziness... oh well... But, to get the most out
