Ladies Who Lunch

June 5, 2018 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

{DISCLOSURE: This post is sponsored by P&G & Align Probiotics. All opinions that follow are my own.}

If you follow me on social media, you may find yourself wondering: “When does she ever rest?”

I admit that I don’t show the messier side of my life. Especially for public consumption. Mostly because, I can’t personally imagine taking a picture of a sink full of dirty dishes and then serving it up on Instagram with the caption:  “I’m keeping it real.”

Nope. Not going to happen.

I do go out with friends quite a lot. We are all former homeschooling moms who bonded back in the day when our kids were all friends and as the kids grew and flew, we kept the tight connections we made over so many years.

We’re in the same stage of life now. We’ve parented and taught our kids for most of our lives and now, without any one of us saying a word, we find ourselves clinging to each other like a life raft. 

Now our lives consist of making the decision once a week of where we will meet for coffee, and the further decision: “What will I order?” 

I find myself lunching a lot these days, with my same beautiful group of former homeschooling moms. Or the same women individually. We talk a lot about our kids, but we are also discussing ways to make this next chapter of our lives the very best one. 

The good folks at P&G suggested I may want to try Align Probiotics. A probiotic is a pretty good product to add to your daily routine. Because good bacteria helps support your digestive system, taking a probiotic like Align helps accomplish that. Align has been a super easy addition to my daily health routine.

  • Probiotics are good bacteria that support many essential bodily functions, including healthy digestion. Your body needs beneficial bacteria for a number of things, including healthy digestion.
  • Probiotics help maintain the delicate balance between the good bacteria in your gut microbiome, which is made up of trillions of bacteria and is considered a key to overall health.
  • When choosing a probiotic, it is important to look at the strain, which determines the health benefit.

The truth is that sometimes I don’t particularly make the best food choices. (I’m looking at you and your delicious pastry menu, Ellie’s Table) Taking a daily probiotic assures me I’m getting the most benefit to my digestive system.

Align is a dietary supplement that fortifies your digestive system with healthy bacteria 24/7 with continued daily use.*

Diet, travel, changes in routine and stress can disrupt your natural balance of good bacteria in the microbiome. Align supplements your digestive system with good bacteria to help maintain digestive balance* so you can continue doing the things you love to do.

When taken daily, Align works by supplementing the digestive system with healthy bacteria to help maintain digestive balance.*

It’s not looking like I’ll be slowing down any time soon. And I’m so happy that Align is helping me maintain the lifestyle I’m currently enjoying. 

Also, I’m free on Wednesdays. Who wants to do lunch?

    Marta if I lived closer we’d do lunch on Wednesdays!!! I also take probiotics, its a true godsend. I have also taken to have some apple cider vinegar (ACV in capsules) great for digestion. And last but not least my vitamins, B6, C, D, Magnesium, & Zinc. Keeping healthy and strong, every little bit helps. Stay well and keep up the great work you are doing!!! Cubanity!!!
