Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2021 Guide!

It’s Black Friday Guide Time Again!  Especially since it started early at many places …. there seems to be quite a bit of “early Black Friday / Cyber Monday” action happening this year. Part of the reason I’m a little late with this year’s guide is because I’ve been helping a few small ecommerce companies implement their sales this year. However, it’s far from being “too late” to get some of these really great deals listed below.

As a special theme for this year’s Black Friday Cyber Monday guide I’ve decided to stock to brands and products that I own and use on the regular. They’re an integral part of “the GiryaGirl lifestyle.” While that sounds silly, it’s accurate!

Dragon Door (Sale ends in [hurrytimer id=”9023″])

Be aware that the inventory of many items is low, so if there’s something you’re interested in, don’t delay! No need to fuss with any coupon codes or logins (if you forgot your login on Dragon Door, just check out as a guest and you’ll still get the full discount). Also note that you can use the PayPal option to “pay later” if you rack up a giant bundle of stuff – or need extra no-interest time to pay off the coveted Isochain.

Top Individual Items:

• Books and Ebooks have the highest discounts this year (50% off for many eBooks, deep discounts on classic paperbacks like Convict Conditioning – $19.99 instead of $34.95)
• Great kettlebell sizes in stock and ready to ship: 6kg (mobility, technique practice), 10kg (great women’s beginner size!), 14kg (a personal favorite for double kettlebell trouble), 18kg (want to get strong in a hurry?), 22kg (been pressing this beastly thing for short sets and I have the shoulders to prove it), 36kg or 44kg (can’t beat heavy swings if you’ve got your technique dialed in… or get doubles and take a walk… a farmer’s walk!)
• Save $100 on the Isochain!!!!!

Bundle Ideas for the Strongest Gifts This Year:

• Get a set of Neuro-Grips and then add The Neuro-Grip Challenge Book! (and yes, that’s ME in the photos there with Robert Miller–really glad he wanted to do the handstands HAHAHA)
• Isochain and The Ultimate Isometrics Manual
• A Kettlebell and The Hardstyle Kettlebell Challenge by Dan John
• A Kettlebell and Master the Kettlebell by Max Shank

Fré Skincare (Sale ends in [hurrytimer id=”9024″])

EVERYTHING is 50% off… WITH Free Shipping?!?!!! (With my Ambassador Code: GIRYAGIRL – btw if you use any of the links on this page it’s automatically applied!) There’s simply too many good things to say about Fré Skincare. Ever since they contacted me a few years ago through Instagram about working with them as an ambassador, I’ve used, loved, and shared their products. They strike a fabulous balance of high quality skincare ingredients, thoughtful products and kits, Earth-friendly practices, and worthwhile philanthropies. The products themselves are a joy to use and are specially formulated for women who work out like crazy. Basically, they’re made for either people who read this website or for the families/friends of people who read this website. Except for the rose-scented items, many of the products have a clean, herbal unisex scent. In fact, a good friend’s husband has been enjoying the 123Fré skincare set! I am LONG overdue to post detailed reviews of the whole skincare line (because I have actually used every item – let me know if you have questions about specific products). In the meantime, now’s the time to SAVE because the Fré Black Friday Sale is REALLY a big one. (This is good because I also need to replenish a few things too!)

My Absolute Favorites:

• Detox Me Post Sweat Clearing Mask (The one that started it all with me. Fré sent me a sample and I loved it. My “ritual” with it is to apply it after my workout, but while I’m getting ready to take a shower. Our hot water heater is great, but takes a bit to get going which is just perfect for this mask! During the shower I make sure to keep it on my face as long as realistically possible, then end the shower by washing it off.) It has a clean herbal scent and while it gets rid of impurities and workout grungy sweat, it doesn’t dry out the skin at the same time.
• Recover Me Restorative Night Cream Rich but not greasy, relaxing and restful herbal scent. I end everday with this one. It’s moisturizing without clogging pores and absorbs quickly for a night cream.
• Refresh Me Hydrating Glow Mist This one lives on my desk for mid-day perk ups. Fresh scent and gentle moisturizing without a heavy feeling. Doesn’t disturb my minimalist approach to makeup.
• I Am Joy Radiant Rose Mist. The whole “I Am” series is really cool – be sure to see the listing in the bundle section below. I use this rich rosewater mist as setting spray.
• Cleanse Me Foaming Micellar Cleanser and Makeup Remover Amusingly, I was introduced to Micellar cleansers by a friend I had referred to Fré some time ago, so I was thrilled when Fré created this fantastic cleanser. Gentle and I just love how the pump creates the foam right on the spot. While I don’t wear much makeup, this removes it quickly and gently.

Sets For Super Luxurious Gifts:

• 123Fré A solid minimalist skincare set, or just a great way to get started with Fré, a three-step routine ready to go.
• I AM Set Luxurious, deeply moisturizing rosewater-drenched skincare set. Now includes a new two-sided double-featured cleansing bar!
• The Mighty 9 Want it ALL? Then this set might be the right choice – especially on Black Friday! 50% off plus free shipping brings this ultra skincare set into the very affordable range. I won the Mighty 9 set from Fré several months ago and might just need to buy another. It’s absolutely fantastic. A great gift for someone (or yourself) who might want to get started head first with serious skincare.

Click and Grow (Sale ends in [hurrytimer id=”9021″])

To say that I get enjoyment from my Click and Grow indoor gardens daily is an understatement. Since buying a Smart Garden 9 Pro, I got so obsessed that I picked up a Smart Garden 27 so that I could grow even more! They’re really surprisingly rewarding. I’ve even started sprouting seeds that I’ve saved from extra tasty tomatoes, peppers and more! Growing my own salad greens and delicate herbs like cilantro right at home has helped cut down on waste and just eating the freshest salads possible. I still need to write up a huge experience blog post about it all.

The Deals:

• 40% OFF on Smart Garden 3 (was $139.95, now $83.97)!!!
• 35% OFF on Smart Garden 9 (was $229.95, now $149.95) and PRO model (was $289.95, now $188.45)
• 30% OFF all garden + plant bundles
• 20% OFF on Smart Garden 27 (was 599.95, now 479.95)
• 15% OFF an all plants

My Absolute Favorites (I have these at home and love them):

• Dark greens bundle – grow your own nutrient rich salads!
• Smart Garden 9 Pro
• Smart Garden 27
• Steak Seasoning Herbs Bundle

ProLon (Sale ends in [hurrytimer id=”9022″])

I had an illuminating (and amusing) Prolon experience. You can read all about it here. Suffice it to say I do already have another box here at the house to prepare for a strong start to the New Year. If you end up giving it a try, please be sure to book the 20 minute included nutrition consultation, they have really great advisors and it’s a great value. The Fast Bars are something you’ll have an affection for at the end of the 5 days, so you may want to consider getting more of them…

The Deals:

• Save $84 on the classic ProLon 5-day kit (regularly $249, on sale for $165)
• Save $158 on the classic ProLon 5-day kit and 30 Fast Bar Intermittent Fasting bars–these bars are dangerously tasty… (regularly $333, on sale for $175)

Stocking Stuffers!!

Here’s just a few of my favorite little treats that you might also want to share with family, friends, or…. just buy for yourself!

Tokelau MCT Coffee

This is simply the best instant coffee I’ve found. There’s always a packet or two in my backpack for coffeemergencies! Absolutely required for travel, I need to remember to order more before the holidays as I’m sure I’ll need a boost if family and friends want to start festive activities earlier than I’m accustomed to. Love this veteran-owned company, and the owner John is

FRS Healthy Energy

First became aware of FRS way back in the day – it was part of one of the first influencer campaigns I participated in back when “influencer campaign” wasn’t really a common phrase yet (2012). Recently, I looked them up again because Quercetin had come up in conversation a few months ago. For a while since, I’ve been mixing a single daily serving of FRS into a carafe of Soda Stream water recently and have been enjoying both of the flavors as my odd off-brand highly nutritional alternative to “Orangina”. While this isn’t a Black Friday deal, you can try one bottle of each flavor (I like both) for just $10.99 by using the coupon code CONCSAMP at checkout.
