I decided before this year started that I would do a better job of taking care of myself – body, mind, and soul. Getting older is scary because things can happen and change without you even realizing.

I took a hard look at my habits and know that I haven’t done the best job in the last few years. We found ourselves eating a lot of junk food many nights, I didn’t use to cook in my old place because it was too small, and have no idea where my actual health stands.

I realized that I want to be doing as much as possible now to strengthen my health and overall well-being. I made a vow to myself that I’d do a better job and that this year was going to be different. I setup 2 quick doctor appointments for a physical and skin exam to just make sure everything was all good there and to give me that peace of mind.

Then, I started to take a look at my daily health. I haven’t taken vitamins in years. If you go into the vitamin aisle at the store it’s just overwhelming, expensive, and quite frankly I haven’t ever felt like I would really see the benefits from generic vitamins. Then I was introduced to Care/Of.

Care/Of is doing to your daily vitamins what so many others are doing to basic everyday items and needs – finally making them exciting. With one quick survey and a little bit of research on additional options, I customized my own personal set of vitamins that will meet my specific needs and things I need to improve.

My final pack has 5 different vitamins in it:

• Magnesium – increasing energy, sleep and regularity // depleted by caffeine and alcohol

• Calcium Plus – for bone and muscle movement // because I was born calcium deficient

• Vitamin D – for overall health and bones // because I live in NYC and it’s winter

• Fish Oil – for healthy vision and cognitive health // I’ve been having trouble with my eyes lately

• Astaxanthin – for healthy skin and wrinkle prevention/aging // I mean, why not?

I couldn’t believe how simple and easy it was and to be totally honest I haven’t been this excited about something in a while. Ask MG, I’ve been raving about my new vitamin routine for weeks.

The best part out of the personalization is that it’s really affordable. My pack is $34 for a month’s supply and just slightly more than 1 bottle of generic vitamins at the store. That’s a Barry’s class, a cooked meal instead of going to a restaurant, a necklace, or 2 rounds of drinks at the bar – in short, worth it.

I’ve teamed up with Care/Of to offer you guys 50% off your first month with the code “viewfrom5ft2“. It’s good now through January 31st, so get a jump on it!

I couldn’t encourage you more to give it a shot and take your health into your own hands. I have been taking them for a week now and already have noticed a difference in my energy levels and ability to focus at work. I drink coffee 7 days a week usually even if we sleep in on the weekends – after starting the pack on Monday I had too much energy this week and only had 3 cups and stuck to tea other days. It was shocking how much natural energy I had and how it totally changed my day.

It’s my favorite way to start the day and I come home feeling more productive and ready to relax. What do you do to take care of yourself?
