written by Cindy Matalucci

Happy Holidays and YES it is time for my Exclusive Annual Gift Guide.

All year long we get products and gifts to review and that we try.

People go bananas over our choices every year and we absolutely love putting this list together.

It is 100% curated by MOI!

I have either used the product, tried the product, or am currently obsessed with the product, and most likely it is number 3 if it made my final list!

Gift of Fitness is Key in my book:

We start with being the fittest, healthiest version of yourself. You have seen my experience on social media with MarkShane Malone from Shape Up Studios.

He is the real deal and he has a passion for helping others.

He could not help his Mom lose weight and be healthy and it inspired him to go into fitness over 15 years ago! His motto is “Let’s get moving.” We could NOT agree more!

He specializes in weight loss and transformation and is very thorough with his process.

He does a consult and a series of tests which include, Polar Body age testing, VO2 max, oxygen intake, and body fat and mass testing.

He then prints you a detailed report (13 pages to be exact) and a customized work out and meal plan from MarkShane to get you on your way!

Mention The Pulse and receive 12 sessions for $480.00 which is $180.00 savings!

While you are working out you NEED the:

 Work It Towels!

We are obsessed with this line created by Mother and son duo Stacy and Harrison Pierce who were working out together and noticed all the grungy old bath towels people were carrying & using.

What did they do? They made their own!

These towels feature a super soft, 100% microfiber poly-fleece top with edge-to-edge color. It is not a scratchy screen print. Instead, the fibers are dyed, providing vibrant color that lasts with daily use.

Sized at 15″ x 25,” it’s the perfect fitness accessory.

Can we talk about the sayings and motivational mantras: The Limitless collection and the “Get it girl.”

Their New Thrive collection benefits ADAA (Anxiety & Depression Association)

I have several and I love them all!

You can even order these with your logo for a custom print job!!!

They Start at $15.99 –

We love Dr. Kat Gallus and her team who always want you to look and feel your best!

We recommend the Skinade!

Background:

In our 20’s we lose 1.5% of our collagen in our skin per year resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, dry, blemished, and thinning skin. AS IF!

Collagen is found in the dermal layer of the skin which is responsible for that PLUMPNESS in our skin that makes us look young!

Skinade works from the inside out and rebuilds and strengthens the collagen matrix repairing the tissue and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines!  YES PLEASE!

Packed with vitamins, & minerals it helps stimulate your body’s own production of collagen & hyaluronic acid, and we are talking 7000 mg of collagen peptides in each bottle! (oh and there are travel pouches for the person on the go!)

For the best results, start with a 90 day supply!
Cost is normally 165.00 per month but Mention ThePulseSD and save 10% off (148.50 plus tax)

Ring in the New Year looking your best, Mention THEPULSESD and get 15% off Botox and Juvederm!
