Stay Hydrated with Refreshing and Electrolyte Rich @aquacarpatica Spring Water!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Water is a must-have in every lunch box this school year and also so important to keep hydrated as the heat continues a little while longer!

But water is not just water! That is why I have been LOVING AQUA Carpatica - a natural nitrate and sodium-free spring and sparkling mineral water! It is the most refreshing and pure water I have ever tasted and it is literally a treat every time I drink it!

In the heart of the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, pristine spring water flows underground from the protected Bajenaru Spring. AQUA Carpatica spring water is responsibly captured to naturally preserve its ideal mineral content, balanced pH, and unmatched pure taste.

The naturally nitrate-free spring water is perfect for the whole family including pregnant women, newborns (no boiling required) and young children. The natural sparkling mineral water is actually the only nitrate-free sparkling water in the world so they are the first brand to bring this to U.S. consumers.

It's also rich in electrolytes providing nearly 24% of an adult's daily needs in calcium and 16% in magnesium which is perfectly suited for an active lifestyle or taking kids to and from school, soccer practice, dance, etc.

I can't believe how pure and refreshing this AQUA Carpatica water and it is so AMAZING how many electrolytes are in each bottle! No wonder I feel amazing after every bottle! These bottles of water are at my work, in my home and at our cabin! I love being able to grab a bottle any time I need water!

Buy It:

You can purchase AQUA Carpatica from their online shop.

Bundle Organics Beverages

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

As you know, I recently had baby #3 and am currently breastfeeding my little guy. Sometimes, with three crazy children running around and keeping me busy, I don't eat as healthy as I want to. But lately I have been feeling better about my diet because I have been drinking Bundle Organics, the first line of organic prenatal juices that is specifically for pregnant and breastfeeding moms. With all the key nutrients recommended for moms and baby, ie. folic acid, vitamin D, calcium, Omega-3, these juices are keeping me hydrated and healthy during these hot summer months.

Bundle Organics is a simple delicious way to get the nutrients you and baby need from one little bottle, Bundle Organics prenatal juices are packed with organic fruits and veggies with an extra bump of essential vitamins for baby’s healthy development. Plus, these juices are pasteurized so you can sip worry-free!

My favorite part is that they are all USDA Organic. These juices contain only the best and brightest organic fruits and veggies. Flavorless produce need not apply.

Plus, these juices supplement prenatal vitamins with an extra bump of key vitamins and minerals for healthy development. Folic acid (200mcg). Check! Calcium (100mg). Check! Vitamin D (60IU). Check! Omega-3 (500mg). Check!

My favorite flavor was the Dark Berry Veggies.

This dream team of super fruits (packed with the antioxidant power of dark berries) and veggies (Yes, you read that correctly. There’s spinach and kale up in here!) add some much needed pow! to your morning, afternoon, evening or I-just-need-to-rest-my-feet-time.

What's in this?

Folic acid: There’s a good reason doctors are enthusiastic about folic acid. It works wonders, helping with cell growth and development.

Calcium: Your little one needs calcium to build those nervous, muscular and circulatory systems. So build, baby, build! Not mention, you need a lot of calcium too!

Vitamin D: Promotes calcium absorption for healthy bone growth, so there’s no stopping your little Hercules-in-training!

Omega-3: The smart stuff! Omega-3 fatty acids support baby’s brain and eye development.

Iron: Your need for iron doubles during pregnancy. Why? It’s an important component of hemoglobin, which ensures your body is carrying enough oxygen to your placenta.

Dark berries: Those mighty, mighty berries are packed with that oh-so-necessary vitamin C for baby’s immune system, potassium for baby’s heart and even folate to protect against birth defects.

Spinach: A folic acid wonder, spinach is also a rich source of beta carotene, which the body can easily convert to vitamin A (it’s recommended women increase their vitamin A intake by 40% when pregnant and by 90% when breastfeeding). Not to mention it’s also packed with potassium and manganese – a heart healthy must-have.

Kale: Packs more iron per calorie than beef, more calcium per calorie than milk and ten times more vitamin C than spinach! And we haven’t even talked folic acid. Can you say super food?

I will be honest...you definitely taste the vegetables in these drinks. These are not super sweet smoothies by any means but they are healthy and I feel good drinking them every time! Plus, they give some flavor to my day opposed to the plain old water I usually drink!

I highly recommend these organic juices if you are pregnant and nursing! They are healthy, packed full of nutrition, organic and will give you the boost you need throughout the day!

Buy It: You can purchase Bundle Organic Beverages for $18 for a 3-pack from the Bundle Organics website.

My Opinion

I have mentioned before how much we like tasty and flavorful drinks in the house, especially during this hot weather!

Natalie's Orchid Island Juice is so refreshing when we come inside from the hot and humidity and it is also great to go with breakfast or in a cocktail! :)

I love how Natalie’s never uses additives or anything artificial, they never add sugar, water or vitamin supplements, and they only squeeze the juices when an order is placed to ensure maximum freshness. That is so unique and comforting and I love that a company takes so much care and pride in their product - you just don't see that much anymore!

My favorite flavors were the seasonal blends, especially the Blackberry Limeade. My husband's favorite was the orange juice! I think he could drink a gallon of it everday! :)

I recommend Natalie's Orchid Island Juice for all juice lovers or just for anyone looking for a healthy alternative to water or artifical sodas! It is so refreshing especially during the hot summer and it provides a perfect start to every day! It tastes and IS so FRESH!
