How does Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes fulfill hydration needs?

“Disclaimer: I received Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes to review as part of being a BibRave Ambassador. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Ambassador, and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews!”

It’s hard for me to take my daily supplements; anything to make it easier to get them in is A++ in my book. Another problem I have during the winter season is staying hydrated. The cooler, less humid temps have me reaching for my water bottle less often. Having some flavored water beverages is a big win to keep me hydrated. Dehydration during the winter is a real thing. Plus, I struggle with having brittle nails, so anything that improves my overall wellness is appreciated.

Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes

In comes Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes to my life. This supplement contains zero sugar, zero carbs, and 9.5g collagen. The Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes comes in two flavors: Strawberry kiwi and mango pineapple. Each serving contains electrolytes to hydrate the skin and collagen to help strengthen hair, skin, and nails.  

What is collagen?

I know the collagen talk has been around for a few years, but I’ve added it to my daily lifestyle. Honestly, I knew very little about collagen, so I decided to learn a bit about it. I’ve learned that collagen provides structural support for the extracellular space of connective tissues. Collagen gives structure, strength, and elasticity to our skin.  Ultima Beauty contains Type I and Type III collagen.  Type I collagen provides structure to your skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments, while Type III is found in muscles, arteries, and organs. Also, I’m in the 40+ age crowd, and as we grow older our bodies reduce the production of collagen. Having healthy skin, hair, and nails is very important. I’m not a high-maintenance girl, but keeping my body’s foundation in check is very important. But I always need to remember to take my supplements consistently.

Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes
Having a portable, no need to measure serving is what I love about the Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes. It’s perfect for taking on the go and/or setting it aside for me to drink first thing in the morning. It comes in a pack of 15 serving sticks which are premeasured and already packaged. It’s perfect any time of the day, but I’m most productive in the morning, so it’s easy to add drinking this into my morning routine.  

Replenishing electrolytes in your body is essential for hydration. You only need one serving daily, which mixes easily with 8-12 fl. oz of water. I use more water because I need extra hydration before drinking my coffee.  That’s my rule.  I’m not allowed to have coffee if I don’t drink water.  This is an extra incentive for me to get hydrated in the morning, plus I’m helping my hair, skin, and nails.

Fighting dehydration during winter is hard for me, even when I’m working out. According to Eating Well, “Electrolytes do many important things in your body. They help keep the amount of water in your body balanced, maintain pH levels and help move nutrients in and out of cells. Electrolytes also help muscles, nerves, and organs work properly.” 

Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes

I tried the strawberry kiwi flavor, and I have no complaints. It’s a not-to-sweet taste, and it’s subtle. It’s perfect for adding to other drinks, too. I added the stick to my morning smoothie. I also liked mixing seltzer water with my handheld frother and topping it with fruit juice. I am on the journey to maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails, and adding Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes to my daily routine will help me improve my dry skin and nail strength wellness. 

I highly recommend this Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes, especially if you need help forgetting to take your supplements. Each pack has 15 servings for $24.99! If you sign up for the e-mails on the site, you can get 20% off your first purchase.  This might seem a bit pricey at first glance, but you have to look at the product as a whole.  Ultima provides you with two products in one with electrolytes and collagen.  Plus, it’s a no-think product because it’s grab-and-go.  That’s worth the price!

Let’s recap how Ultima Beauty Collagen + Electrolytes will enhance your life:

  • This product is grab-and-go, meaning you can take it anywhere without measuring or spilling it.
  • Ultima Beauty is zero sugar, zero carbs, and 9.5g of collagen.
  • Collagen maintains healthy hair, skin, and nails.
  • This is another way to get in that extra glass of water throughout the day!
  • HEALTHY HAIR, SKIN, and NAILS.  (Yes, I repeated it.)

Please let me know in the comments how you maintain your healthy hair, skin, and nails AND if you decide to try Ultima Beauty, let me know what you think!

Summer reading in the month of June

Summer reading in the month of June

It’s time to recap the books I read during June. I had a great month of reading, mainly due to Tot having an hour of swimming lessons every day which I took as my reading time. I am a mystery and murder book gal, but I decided to read some lighter reads for summer. I read many books because I like to borrow books from the library, and all my holds came back.  Basically, I read my entire summer TBR list in the month of June.  I am currently taking book recommendations to finish off my summer reading books.  Please…

Favorites lately: home bedding, Netflix, books, and beverages

Welcome to my favorite post—what a way to welcome you back into the blog life. Today, I will talk about some of my favorite things I’ve loved lately. I want to make this a monthly thing, and I hope something I love will maybe be something you love. Let’s get started with the list.  I have some home decor, beverages, books, and more for you to explore. Casaluna bedding is the best. I’ve never spent that much money on my bedding. I always look for the more “expensive” bedding and buy something cheaper. As I grow older, I have learned…

Weekly wrap-up #5: hurt back, avocado chickpea toast, reading and binging tv

Welcome to another weekly wrap-up. It’s the time to talk about the good, the bad, and everything else from the week before on the blog. This week I found myself down with a pulled muscle or pinched nerve in my back. On Tuesday, I reached for my backpack, and I felt a pain in my back. I didn’t think about it and reached down to pick up my backpack after that and went home to work out. The following day, I reached for a toy on the floor, and the same thing happened, but the pain was worse.   My week…

How do you store your dirty clothes when you’re on vacation? No one wants to mix their dirty clothes with clean ones. And I know, after a long run or race, I like to change out of my sweaty clothes before driving home. It’s not pleasant to sit in stinky clothes, and I definitely can’t sit in wet clothes…

Best of October 2021: what I ate, read, ran, and Formula 1

October is over. I can’t believe we are moving into the last two months of the year. I wanted to look back on the month to celebrate all the good land lows) of the month. Many things happen throughout the month that I may not talk about because there’s no space to talk about them. This blog post is the perfect place to include the big and little things happening in life.   October has been busy for me. There were so many activities and things to participate in throughout the month; it was nice to get back to having fun…

Restart, rebuild and rebrand

It’s time to restart, rebuild, and rebrand. The blog has always been a sacred spot in my heart, but I stopped blogging for several reasons: There are only so many things I can say about weight loss and my weight loss journey. I am far removed from that part of my life. The weight loss niche isn’t for me. It’s a part of who I am, but it’s not everything that I am. And honestly, the weight loss niche can be toxic and unbearable at times. There’s no one right way to lose weight, and what works for one person…

“Disclaimer: I received an Ultima Replenisher to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews!” It’s hot outside, and Ultima Replenisher has helped me stay hydrated over these heated months. It is hard to avoid it, especially living on the Texas coast. The heat and humidity make the workouts harder, which means I spend a little extra time focusing on hydration. Long runs become a bit harder during the summer months, which is ironic because this is when we start training for those fall races…

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. This time of year, it’s hard for me to stay hydrated. Texas summer leaves me always reaching for my water bottle, but a southeast Texas “winter” leaves me with comfortable temperatures where it feels great to get some miles outside.  My daily routine consists of 80-100 ounces of water per day. When I’m hydrated, I sleep better; I don’t feel sluggish throughout the day, my skin is in great shape, and it easier to make it…

One tough mother can. Motherhood isn’t the end.

Sometimes I feel like women people say they want a family or are pregnant, there’s just a bunch of negativity that automatically comes back.  The world is suddenly filled with all the things you “can’t” and “won’t” want to do.  It’s more than unfair that people expected me to give up my dreams or dim my light due to the fact I was a popping put a baby. Why as a woman are we challenged by what we want to do when having a child, but a man isn’t? One tough mother can find a way to find her “all.”…
