People ask me all the time, “How the heck do you it all?” The truth is I don’t really know. At times I amaze myself with my superwoman capabilities. Fairy dust? Clicking my heels together? Enchanted cape? I assure you it’s much more simple than that. Try a magical potion I like to call 5-hour ENERGY® shots. Multi tasking has always been part of my nature and since becoming a mother I have mastered it without even trying. While the Summer is here and it’s typically time to kick back and relax, I still have everyday commitments to keep up with. In addition to keeping my little one busy and entertained I still have work, school, and blogging to do. There aren’t enough hours in the day and I am lucky if I get a cat nap in between all of these activities! Tired may be an understatement but I will fill you in on a little secret that keeps this machine well oiled and running
The biggest challenge for me is getting through the work day without taking a siesta. Staying awake and focused is tough when you have been up since 6 am and have a million other things running through your head. What will I make for dinner? I hope the dogs haven’t pooped all over the living room. I wish I could cut this hang nail off. Someone is wearing WAY too much perfume today. My mind seems to move a mile a minute. This is why it’s important for me to have a “secret” stash in the cabinet above my desk. Along with the little snacks and emergency beauty items, my 5-hour ENERGY® shots are always full stocked.
5-hour ENERGY® shots give me the energy boost I need to keep up with my co-workers and stay productive. It prevents me from watching the clock and asking myself “Is it five yet?” every FIVE minutes! These shots are a dietary supplement that contain a blend of B-vitamins, amino acids, and essential nutrients. Since they don’t contain sugar, carbs, or herbal stimulants I don’t have to worry about crashing an hour later. Drinking one of these shots is equivalent to one cup of coffee minus the extra calories from whip cream and flavored syrup. Seems like much better option wouldn’t you say? With only 4 calories I don’t feel guilty drinking them either! Plus they come in fun flavors like orange and pomegranate. Of course, the orange has become a favorite of mine so I am kind of partial there.

I keep seeing this product everywhere, I need to see if it can be used while breastfeeding. Does it have caffeine in it?

I've never tried anything like this, but I know they're very popular. I would add anti-perspirant to your emergency kit. 🙂
Laura (Laura's Little House Tips) says
I love 5 hour Energy. I have Lupus an tend to not be able to focus. After one I am so much better and tend to use it about 5 out of 7 days a week. I think that makes me addicted lol but I love clarity. I entered the giveaway. Fingers crossed.
