Even #bossladies Need a Little Help
It’s no secret that I’m a busy woman these days. It’s very important to me to the best #bosslady I can be in all areas of my life. That being said – it’s hard to stay on top of it all…sometimes this juggler drops a ball! 😉 Having toddlers that are always on the move, dogs that need lots of love and attention, an ever expanding to do list to keep our household going, and managing Mommylexi.com can be tricky! I love everything I’m doing and wouldn’t change a thing, however, I do need to make time for myself and my own health goals. I’m a better mommy and a better spouse when I care for myself as well.
I’ve partnered with HUM Nutrition and The Newsette to bring you this post and to share something that has really helped me on my quest for mommy sanity. All opinions expressed in this post are my own, so keep scrolling to learn why I’m feeling so much better these days! 🙂
What is HUM Nutrition?
I’m very cautious about what goes into my body – and you should be too! Let me be blunt…all supplements are NOT created equal. I’ve done a lot of research over the years to find supplements for me and my family – and it has been tough to find ones I like. This busy #bosslady is very happy to have found HUM!
HUM Nutrition is an all-natural line of supplements, powders and gummies that are sustainably sourced, made in the USA, non-GMO and free of soy, gluten, artificial colors, and preservatives, many are organic and vegan. That list makes me SO ridiculously happy! If you could see me right now, you would laugh at the “happy dance” I’m doing to my new guilty pleasure song, Rewrite the Stars…hehehe! That is how happy I am to have found supplements that aren’t junky!
Their mission is to turn the beauty routine inside out and have inner-health as the starting point of every beauty/self-care routine with a focus on prevention and long-term care, not just damage control and covering up. Since we’re all so busy (and yes – I know you are so don’t deny it), isn’t it nice that this is their mission and we can reap the benefits?
They aim to demystify vitamins by making them chic and approachable, and by providing personalized product recommendations from their Registered Dietitians (RD). The RD is also available to answer questions and for ongoing support via your free account. Yup…they provide resources which is a huge WIN! If you would like to figure out which supplement is best for you – take this 3 minute evaluation quiz!
They have also been generous enough to give my readers 20% off their first online order by using the code: NEWSETTE
Flatter Me
I’ve been using Flatter Me – which is a supplement that supports healthy digestion, and in turn, a flatter stomach. I honestly don’t know anyone who would say no to that! We’re all busy, and we all have different goals, but I personally like having some extra help where I can. Not all foods agree with me (I know I’m not alone) and sometimes I need help with my digestion. Studies have linked digestive enzyme blends (like Flatter Me) with easing indigestion and reducing bloat. Yup, I said it! I get bloated and I want that icky feeling GONE from my life!
To combat digestion issues like bloat, I take a dose after my two largest meals (for me that’s lunch and dinner) and it helps a lot! More regularity and a happy flatter (bloat free) tummy!
It’s super easy and is particularly helpful if you’re trying to eat healthier and get yourself on track. I’ve been pairing Flatter Me with healthy foods like my Giant Fruit Salad! I feel lighter and happier – which for me comes from better digestion.
What Else do They Offer?
If you’re looking for other effective supplements, check out the HUM Product Page for their offerings. Everyone has health goals, and I personally like that their products have been proven and are backed by clinical results. Bottom line, if you want Killer Nails (I do!) – better hair (I do!) – better digestion (I do!) or you have other health goals, it’s worth taking a look. Isn’t it nice to have a little extra support when you need it???
Taking the Next Step
As mentioned above, HUM has been generous enough to give my readers 20% off their first online order by using the code: NEWSETTE – so now is a great time to give them a test drive!
Their product selection has something for everyone – so give the list a look! Personally, I want to try out Turn Back Time and plan to order that as my next HUM purchase! I bet you can guess what it does for your skin! I’ve had great luck with Flatter Me, so I’m excited to try something else that will help me up my #bosslady game!
I hope this was helpful and that my research and quest for fantastic supplements will save you some time! Enjoy the 20% off and let me know which supplements you try out! 🙂

It’s almost Spring and I am SO ready for lighter and more refreshing foods! This recipe is great to make ahead, chill, and even sneak in a little veggie love. You can see my giant bowl in the photo below, ready to toss and chill. It has been great having this in my fridge for snacks, easy after dinner treat for the kids, on the side on their eggs for breakfast, and more. This batch is almost gone, and it was HUGE! Give it a try as we transition into Spring – and enjoy! Muah!
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Watermelon
- 2 Cups Cantaloupe
- 1 Container Blueberries
- 3-4 mini cucumbers
- 1 Cup Pomegranate seeds
- 1 Lemon or lime (ripe)
- 1/2 Cup fresh orange juice (optional)
Instructions
- Chop the watermelon and cantaloupe into easy one bite chunks. Put into a large bowl, preferably with a lid.
- Wash the blueberries and add the entire container to the melon in the bowl.
- Wash the mini cucumbers and cut to desired size. You can leave them in rounds or slice the cucumbers in half before chopping them for a smaller bite.
- Add the pomegranate seeds to the bowl. I purchased a container from the grocery store that was ready to go, so I was able to toss them right in!
- Wash and slice the lemon (or lime) in half. Take out the seeds and then squeeze the juice over the bowl of fruit. Toss with a spoon to evenly coat the fruit.
- If you decide to add the orange juice (adds a little more citrus flavor and sweetness), add it to the bowl and gently mix to evenly coat.
- Enjoy!
Other Things to Add
Try adding some of these other yummy foods to this fruit salad!
- Cherry or grape tomatoes

- Feta cheese
