After a year, I have met so many amazing people and gained countless insight and support. I can not thank you enough for sharing my experiences with me and for being such wonderful encouragements throughout my day-to-day.
So, in honor of this festivity, I am hosting a
Blogerversary Giveaway!
I tried to come up with something creative and enticing and this was the best I could do…. (which is pretty darn cool if you ask me). Since the blog is about me and my passion for healthy living, food and wellness, I thought that I would offer you all a few of my favorite things. One lucky winner will receive….
- A copy of Self’s August edition
- Annie’s Mac and Cheese
- Zoe’s Granola
- Kind Bars
- Barney Butter Packets
- A Jar of Chocolate PB2
- Fruit Leathers
- AND…..a special surprise Trader Joe’s item. (Oooo, what could it be?!?!)
So, how can you win these fabulous favorites of mine?
Simple…
1. Leave a comment on this post telling me some of your favorite things for one entry….
2. If you have a blog, link this giveaway to your page for a second entry (If you don’t have a blog, email me some of your favorite things)
Okay, so what are you waiting for? Contest ends Thursday, 7/23 at 11pm Eastern Time. I will announce the lucky winner on Friday, 7/24!!!
Good luck and thanks to everyone who has made SWYNTS (Say What You Need To Say) a successful year!
