Healthy Activities for Couples (and Families)!
Valentine’s Day is certainly made for drinking, and eating… but also for spending some quality time with your loved ones! Here are some ideas for fun activities to do with your family, friends, or significant other, that will help develop a stronger and healthier bond! Clearly, they all are in true Caitlin’s style, i.e. fun, fit, and healthy! 🏃♀️
The best healthy activities for couples are:
- Try a new restaurant, to break the routine and spice up things 🍜
- Go on a hike and explore new places. Being more adventurous will help strengthen your relationship and feel like you can overcome any obstacle together 🗻
- Meditate or read a book together. This can be the perfect opportunity to destress and unwind while enjoying each other’s company. 🧘♀️📚
- Cook together. Try my recipes above for an alternative evening with your partner or kids! 🍳
- Write a letter to your significant other. This could be the perfect opportunity to let all of your feelings and emotions out to paper and express what you might have been holding inside for too long. 💌
- Listen to a podcast or workshop. Growing and evolving together is one of the healthiest activities you can do to strengthen your relationship and reignite the spark! 🎧
- Play board games! Keeping the child inside you alive is key to never taking things too seriously. Laughing and having fun together is the magic formula for any long-lasting relationship.
Healthy Valentine’s Day Gifts for You and Your Partner
Who says that you can only buy flowers, jewels, and chocolate for Valentine’s Day? Here are 5 ideas for Health and Wellness Gifts for your partner and – why not – for yourself!
1. Fruit Infuser Water Bottle 💧
We all know how important it is to drink more water! However, I know that it is not always easy. Why not try a fruit-infuser water bottle to spice things up? Featuring a bottom-loading fruit infuser design, this bottle keeps our favorite fruit, herbs, and even edible flowers submerged for over-the-top flavor! Plus, it is paired with a removable strainer to filter ice, pulp, and seeds. The bottles came in pairs for extra hydration for you and your partner!
2. LEADNOVO Adjustable Dumbells 🏋️♀️
Whether you are opting for a workout with your partner or a single session, these adjustable dumbells are perfect for different strength levels! Plus, they can be easily converted from dumbells to barbells through the connecting rod. This is the perfect gift for your sport-loving partner, but also for yourself. Because remember: you cannot love well if you don’t feel well!
3. Reversible Weighted Blanket 🛌
Sleep is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. Then, why it is so hard to have a good bedtime routine? A weighted blanket could be an answer to all of your sleep problems! By making you feel “cuddled” and held, the weighted blanket facilitates falling asleep, while adapting to your body and keeping your temperature stable. Lastly, the weighted blanket is made entirely with natural, organic, and breathable fiber.
4. Ninja Professional Blender 🍑
I have recently learned that if I want to eat well, I need to have the right kitchen tools! This professional blender is what you need if you are looking for a quick and easy way to create healthy and delicious smoothies, spreads, and sauces (on my blog there are plenty of recipes)!
5. BED OF NAILS Acupressure Mattress 🧘♂️
This acupuncture mattress is perfect if you or your partner want to release muscle tension and pain or just want to improve sleep quality and relaxation. All you have to do is lie down on the mat for at least 10 minutes a day: as pressure points massage the skin, they stimulate oxytocin for calmness and ‘happiness’ endorphins, which in turn block pain and ease insomnia. Because a well-rested partner is a happier partner!
6. Chocolate Beet Super Food Blend from Pure Clean
Sharing is caring. So why not invite your partner to start the day with a nutrient packed smoothie? The CHOCOBERRY BLAST from Pure Clean features a powerful blend of organic beet juice powder for athletic performance and recovery, alkalinizing herbs, fruits, veggies, and botanical blends fill ALL nutrient gaps and support gut health, and potent cocoa and berry polyphenols upgrade your immunity, detoxification, and stress and anxiety resilience. Each scoop is further packed with over 2 billion probiotics, 17 different healthy greens, and 4 servings of fruits and veggies. Incredible, right? Plus, I cannot get over its incredible dark chocolate flavor!
In conclusion, I wish you to spend a Valentine’s Day filled with love – for others and, most importantly, for yourself! 💗 Hope you have found my recipes and suggestions interesting.
