BlendTec Giveaway

Isn't she a thing a beauty?

Ever see something before and know YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT?  Well that is how I feel about a BlendTec Mixer.  But I cannot seem to justify to my hubby the reason we should spend that kind of money on a blender.  He just tells me that you can buy one for a fraction of that cost.  He just does not understand.  Being a runner I drink a protein drink every single day.  I love them when they are icy and cold and well mixed.  He doesn't drink them but my kids do and I have a recipe that tastes like an Orange Julius (recipe below) and they go nuts for it.  They drink them every chance I will make one for them.  I need to win one!  Right now Discover Your Happy is giving one away.  Go over there right now...yes leave my blog...now!  And enter to win.  Good Luck!

Banana Orange Smoothie

2 cups OJ

2 Cups Ice

1 Scoop Vanilla Protein

1 frozen (slightly overripe) Banana

Place everything in Blender and blend until creamy smooth!  Enjoy...

Armpocket Giveaway

I have been a runner for quite sometime and I like love have to run with music.  I often will take my little iPod for my short runs.  However, on my long runs, trail runs and races I feel it necessary to carry my iPhone with me.  I have tried just about every system out there to carry my iPhone.  But I run into a huge problem...I am a klutz.  Seriously, my parents would call me butterfingers when I was little.  I have broken more phones in the history of phone devices.  I have resorted to using an OtterBox.  Anyone who has one has one story or another on how it has saved their phones, right?  Me too.  With all of the selection of arm, waist pocket contraptions to hold my phone I ALWAYS have to take the phone out of the OtterBox.  Hence, my problem, I then have my precious phone exposed to me dropping it.  I have recently seen a product that looks promising.  It is called the Armpocket.  They make it to fit all different kinds of phones and they even have one that holds an iPhone with an Otterbox case on it (listen to the heavens singing)!  I want need one of these babies.  Arent' the cool?  And they come in different colors, of course my choice is pink the best color ever.  I, however, have spent so much money on different armbands, waistbands, etc. that I am a bit nervous to buy another one.  Justkeeprunning.com has solved my solution.  They are giving one away.  If you are a runner or an exerciser that likes to keep your phone with you check out the contest and good luck!  If you win let me know what you think and if I should get myself one.

{Giveaway} @ Skip to My Lou

Have you ever been determined to win something?  I am bound and determined to win an Epiphanie bag.  I have just recently gotten into photography.  Don't get me wrong, I have always loved to take pictures but have never learned how to used my fancy camera.  I made the decision to finally learn how to use it in the manual setting (after having my fancy Canon Rebel for, oh, 8 years!)  Often I go out with the sole purpose to take pictures with my camera and I bring my Canon Rebel.  But I have found that there are many times that I would love to have my camera on hand for those spontaneous moments!  I need to get a cute bag to carry my camera and lens around so that I am not carrying a camera bag and my purse.  With Epiphanie bags the two are combined...All I can say is GENIUS!  So here is the deal, there is a contest going on over at Skip to my Lou Blog.  Go there is a great site, browse around you will be surprise all of the great things you will come across.  Then enter to win the Epiphanie bag (if you win you have to promise joint custody..J/K..)!  Good Luck
