For the recovery queen/king

The most sought-after recovery products on the market come from my friends at Hyperice and lucky for us they always have a HUGE Black Friday sale. Here’s my top picks to look out for this season:

1. Normatec Recovery. Been using for years, cannot recommend enough. The new Normatec 3.0 came out this fall and they are niiiiice, but the older versions are great too if you can scoop them up for a deal!

2. The Hypervolt. This tool is a must, but the question is… which one?? The Hypervolt GO 2.0 is teeny tiny, weighs 1.5lbs, and is extremely quiet and great for travel. The Hypervolt 2 Pro is a bad mama jama with all the power you could ask for- this is the creme de la creme hypervolt. The Hypervolt 2 is the goldilocks- right in the middle of the two and you really can’t go wrong.

3. Venom 2 Back. The most advanced heat massage wrap on the market. I love strapping this on my back while I make breakfast and get
   going in the morning. It helps loosen me up before my workout and is a total lifesaver when I’m dealing with period cramps.

For the one doing dry january

I’ve been wearing WHOOP for a couple years now and absolutely love tracking my HRV to see how well I’m recovering between workouts and what surprisingly took it out of me (like when it picks up an “activity” after I gave Pie a bath…) and added to my daily strain score.

One thing that WHOOP has done a fair bit of research on is the affects of alcohol on our sleep and recovery using data that members offer up. (Here is a fabulous podcast that dives into those results)

If you have a loved one who is always trying to start a new habit in the new year, they can use the journal feature on WHOOP to track that behavior every day. Maybe eating dinner earlier, drinking enough water every day, not eating close to bed time, etc. - WHOOP will help them stay accountable to that health goal to actually achieve it this year!

For the wellness guru

1. Original Collagen Peptides -sneak it into anything, it dissolves in hot or cold water and is completely unflavored. Tendons, ligaments, and joints, oh my! Chocolate Collagen Peptides makes e a delicious hot cocoa with 0g of sugar- perfect for the winter months! Code COLLEEN15 will get you 15% off your first online purchase of any Vital Proteins product!

2. I start every morning the same way: mix AG1 with water and sip on it while I walk Pie for 20-30min. The sunlight helps set my circadian rhythm and the AG1 has 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole foods sourced ingredients to promote a healthy gut and immune system. I always drink it on an empty stomach before breakfast or coffee. I’m not kidding when I say I NOTICE a difference in how I feel when I take AG1 vs when I miss it.

3. Part 2 of my morning is a pre-workout breakfast of MUSH, an easy, quick, yummy breakfast of overnight oats that is the perfect fuel for my morning run.

The world traveler

This one is definitely me (well, I’m all of these, but you get it…)

1. I gotta be cozy when I’m traveling. THIS oversized cropped crew from lululemon with Softstreme fabric is like velvet on the skin. And they just dropped new colors!

2. The Groove Pant has become my travel go-to. Buttery soft with a bit of flair!

3. Normatec GO just changed the game for travel-fresh legs. With no hose and no separate control unit, these compression sleeves for the calves are TSA-approved AND Colleen Quigley approved! I don’t travel without them.

4. lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is the perfect size for keys, wallet, phone, chapstick. I have multiple colors and wear it… everywhere.

The “look good, feel good” one

1. TIY Hair Ties. My hairstyles are more than a practical way to tie back all my hair while I’m working hard (although they definitely serve that purpose too). When I braid my hair back I’m telling my body and mind that it’s time to go to WORK! And I need my hair ties to be up to the challenge. The awesome thing about TIY hair ties is that they are completely customizable. Yes, custom. Because we don’t all have the same hair, so why would we be expected to use the same hair tie? Use COLLEENGIFTGUIDE22 for 20% off your first order.

2. A silk pillowcase. These are all the rage right now as people are learning the benefits for hair and skin (less breakouts and smoother hair). You’ll want to look for “mulberry silk” with a momme count of at least 19 (for softness).

3. My favorite skincare products are all from Supergoop. I cannot stress enough how obsessed I am with Glowscreen for dewy skin!

4. My favorite makeup products are all from Glossier. Boy Brow is my eyebrow hack!

5. Dieux Forever Eye Mask. Kevin’s sister gave me this a couple years ago for Christmas. You use (and reuse and reuse!) it with your favorite serum for a more sustainable beauty boost!

For the dog lover

1. Fi Dog Collar: You know about WHOOP, right? Imagine WHOOP for your dog… it’s all Fi and it’s a smart dog collar that counts your dogs steps, tracks their sleep, AND has a built-in GPS to help you keep tabs on your dog at all times, even if they were to get lost! We have used Fi for our dog, Pie, for a couple years now and we love it. Code COLLEENANDPIE will get you a discount on your order of the Fi GPS dog collar!

2. Front of the Pack makes doggo supplements that can help your pupper with a bunch of different areas of health like their skin/coat, digestion, heart health, immunity, breath, joints, etc. And Pie seems to think it tastes great too!

3. Lifetime Leash from Atlas Pet Company- this leash has a LIFETIME warranty, so if your pup chews threw it or it breaks etc they will replace it for free! Definitely worth the investment.
