Not Letting Weightlifting or My Corporate Job Age Me

A Guide to Staying Fresh, Fit, and Fabulous

Hey there! I’m Maria, some of you might know me as mariafitnessandstuff! A finance gal at Apple by day and a gym enthusiast before dawn living in Dubai. Balancing weightlifting and corporate life isn’t always easy on the skin, but I’ve found my way to keep it all in check without letting stress leave a mark. Here’s how I stay glowing and energized, no matter how hectic life gets.


Early Mornings and Gym Sessions

My day starts at 5:00 a.m. sharp, heading straight to the gym for a serious sweat session. Weightlifting is my jam, and it helps me feel centered and ready to handle whatever the corporate day brings my way. I’m also that person who can’t help but sing along (a little too loudly) to my workout playlist, adding in a dance move or two just to keep it fun. Starting my day this way fuels me up and keeps me focused.

My 3 PM Nutrili Collagen Shot: The Ultimate Glow-Up

Now, onto my secret weapon: Nutrili’s Beauty Collagen Shots! I used to take six collagen pills daily, and honestly, it felt like a chore with no real results. Do collagen supplements actually work? Nutrili’s Beauty Collagen Shots, though? Game-changer. With a delicious berry flavor and 10 grams of marine collagen, these shots have completely replaced the pill routine and fit right into my daily hustle. They’re literally everything I need for my skin, hair, and nails in one convenient shot, it’s my full dose of collagen plus all the vitamins my hair, skin, and nails need. The benefits of collagen for skin have truly transformed my routine.

My 3 PM shot is my favorite ritual, I never forget it, and it’s so yummy, I look forward to it every single day at work. Since I started, my skin’s gotten brighter, my hair’s more hydrated, and my nails are stronger than ever. Plus, it’s been amazing for keeping frown lines at bay, even with the stress of corporate life. Nutrili makes it easy to take care of myself, and I finally see the results I was hoping for.

Evening Recharge: Self-Care with a Twist

After a busy day, my evening is all about unwinding. Meal prepping has been a game-changer for my week, letting me settle in with my skincare routine and relax with a Netflix show. And on days when I’m feeling a little extra, I pour my Beauty Collagen Shot over ice in a martini glass, add a splash of water, and sip it like a mocktail while I kick back. Creating a skincare routine that fits seamlessly into my day makes my evenings feel a bit more luxurious.

So that’s my secret

Early mornings, Nutrili collagen shots, and a positive routine that keeps me from looking (and feeling) stressed. Cheers to lifting, laughing, and keeping that youthful glow, no matter what life throws at you!
