Do You KonMari?!

July 7, 2016

This is a sponsored conversation in collaboration with Bloggin’ Mamas & BODYARMOR. I’ve included an affiliate link. All opinions are my own. 

Does the name Marie Kondo ring a bell with you? Maybe not, but chances are you’ve heard of the KonMari Method…right? I’ve been hearing the KonMari Method mentioned on my timelines for a few months now. I’m a packrat by nature- I think I inherited it from my parents… they both liked to collect things. My Mom had a huge cookbook collection & tons of recipes saved all around the house. I have quite an impressive cookbook collection myself, one I try to weed out from time to time, to make room for MORE cookbooks! LOL!

  The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, is a best-selling guide to decluttering your home from Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo. It takes readers step-by-step through her revolutionary KonMari Method for simplifying, organizing, and storing. I haven’t read the entire book, but just seeing my friends using it to declutter their lives inspired me to do a little KonMari-ing (that’s not a word, I know) myself. 

Kids are out of school right now & I figured it’d be a great time to go through their closets & see what doesn’t fit & donate it. Here’s a pic of all the bags I took to Goodwill.27878689040_cdfd8c7f3f_k

Another thing I wanted to KonMari was our pantry & fridge. Out with all the “bad” junk food & in with all the things we should be eating instead. This is a difficult one, because we love our snacks & sweets-but ya gotta start somewhere. I got rid of all the sugary foods & drinks in the fridge. This summer, we are snacking on lots of fruit. I replaced the sugary drinks with BODYARMOR Sports Drink.

BODYARMOR is a premium sports drink with potassium packed electrolytes, coconut water and vitamins. BODYARMOR has natural flavors, natural sweeteners & no artificial colors, unlike the drinks that were in my fridge. It’s a GREAT choice for young athletes, like my Lil Soccer Superstar, who don’t need extra sodium in their diets or artificial ingredients that come from drinking other sports drinks currently on the market.

 BODYARMOR comes in 8-great tasting flavors: fruit punch, orange mango, strawberry banana, tropical punch, lemon lime, mixed berry, grape and blackout berry. My lil guy likes the strawberry banana best. Lots of today’s top athletes choose BODYARMOR, over other brands, as their sports drink of choice, including: Mike Trout, Andrew Luck, James Harden, Buster Posey, Richard Sherman, Dez Bryant, Skylar Diggins, Sydney LeRoux and OUR FAVE … Klay Thompson! (Go Warriors!)
 
Here’s my lil man at Safeway, he asked me to take his pic with Klay. My NorCal friends can also find BODYARMOR at Target, Lucky’s, & Raley’s. 28081412621_592a679989_k
So, I’ve got the fridge, pantry & kid’s rooms organized…on to MY room! Before I get started, here’s a coupon for BODYARMOR. Pick some up next time you’re out grocery shopping & tell me what you think. 
 
This summer’s all about making healthier choices & finding better options- thanks BODYARMOR!
