Get Your Good Going Almond Breeze and Lululemon Giveaway

This week has been one of my toughest weeks in a long time. I’m feeling a bit drained after a long work week, my body is feeling it physically as it fights off a cold, my travel season is just ramping up, and there are some other stressors that have me feeling a bit overwhelmed.

It’s during weeks like this that a few positive words of encouragement from friends and family are more than welcome.  Whether it’s a quick text, an email, a hug, or a phone call- a bit of motivation and a reminder that I have a support system is all it takes to turn around a rough week. Luckily, the folks at Almond Breeze think that once the good get’s going, it can’t be stopped!

They have a new campaign which has launched on Facebook, “Get Your Good Going” which allows people to spread the good by saying something nice to a Facebook friend. While doing so they can also enter to win a YEAR’S SUPPLY OF ALMOND BREEZE and a $1,000 gift card to spruce up their kitchen! How cool is that? It reminds me of the movie, Pay It Forward.

As you all know, I buy my Almond Breeze in bulk from Costco since I use it so often! While my favorite way to use Unsweetened Almond Breeze is in my smoothies, it blends perfectly in my morning coffee as well!

After spending over an hour on the phone with my mom the past two days, there was no question in my mind who I owed a thank you after seeing this campaign.

Even though she still lives down in Savannah, Georgia my mom is my best friend. I can call her and talk to her about anything and she is patient and willing to help. Our relationship has definitely evolved over the past few years as I’ve established my life in New York City with Bo but at the end of the day she is my rock. When we’re together, it’s like nothing has changed and when we’re apart I still miss her daily. We read the same books at times just so we can have our own mini book club, we motivate each other to try new things and be better people, and she’s even gone zip lining and started doing yoga this year thanks to my influence! Lord knows, my husband wishes I had half the patience she has!

In order to thank her, Almond Breeze is sending her a prize pack including a $25 Lululemon gift card and 3 Almond Breeze coupons.

But, the fun doesn’t stop with her! I want to let one of you enjoy a prize pack and share one with the person you want to thank.  You can enter two different ways and I’ll choose a winner Sunday, August 12th at 9pm!

NatureMade & Athleta Giveaway

Happy Saturday!

This weekend is an unexpected weekend in NYC as we were supposed to be down in Chapel Hill celebrating two of our high school friends’ wedding. Unfortunately due to Bo’s work schedule that just couldn’t come to fruition and therefore I had to call Delta early yesterday morning to cancel our trip. I guess things work out for the best though because Delta was kind enough to send me this alert this morning, bright and early, even though we cancelled our trip! image

The unexpected free weekend will hopefully allow both of us time to catch up and relax. Yesterday I was able to enjoy a Summer Friday to it’s fullest.

The rest of our weekend plans include a run this morning, checking out Nike’s Celebration of Sports event on Pier 46 this afternoon, finally cashing in a Rue La La blowout, and celebrating our friend’s 30th birthday tonight!

But, last but not least, I have an exciting giveaway to share with you guys. As you may recall, Nature Made provided me with the awesome opportunity to enjoy yoga in Times Square this week. In addition, they want to make it easier for one of my readers to find their OM this summer whether it’s on the beach, in your house, or in Times Square!

One lucky reader will receive the same gift bag they sent me and Theodora, chock full of awesome and useful gifts!

Five Bamboo Giveaway

As promised, it’s time for another giveaway!

While I’m not necessarily enjoying views like this anymore, I’m definitely digging one of my favorite items from last month’s Hawaii vacation.

001

My friends at Five Bamboo shipped me their Elusive dress in a beautiful, bright watermelon color as soon as they heard I was heading on vacation. The perfect dress for traveling on vacation or a day in the city, it is comfortable, long enough for my 5’9 1/2 frame, and quite flattering. I ended up wearing this out to dinner two nights and one day on a city excursion.

 003 002

Luckily, the gang at Five Bamboo is super generous! They are not only willing to give all Healthy, Happier Bear readers 20% off any purchase using the code (healthyhappybamboo) until 5/31/12; but also giving away one Elusive dress to a lucky winner!

There are a few ways to enter:

1) Follow me on twitter if you aren’t already, then tweet about this contest (include a link to this post and @healthyhappier). Leave another comment telling me you tweeted.

2) Head over to Five Bamboo’s website and let me know what your favorite item is on their site and why.

*US & Canadian residents only. The giveaway ends Friday at midnight and I will announce a winner Sunday when I return from Reach the Beach!
