Hi there! Today I've got a fun giveaway for you guys! Recently the folks at Aurorae sent me a yoga product of theirs, called the Synergy Mat Towel, to try out. I was intrigued by the mat because of its built-in non-slip microfiber towel. I had never seen a yoga mat with a built-in towel before, and it sounded like a brilliant idea to me. I had owned a few yoga mats already, but wasn't in love with them because of how I seemed to find myself slipping around on the mat once I started sweating and getting into my workout. I was interested to see if Aurorae's mat would eliminate this annoyance. Aurorae is a yoga, fitness & aromatherapy e-retailer that has recently expanded into a number of new divisions, including apparel and outdoor accessories such as beach towels. They're ... [Read More]

ShiftCon Recap: GMO Talk + Giveaway of Goodies!
"Every time you buy, you're voting for the world you want or the world you don't want." - Gary Hirshberg, Chairman of Stonyfield and Founder of Just Label It & Only Organic I found this to be the most powerful sentence I heard at last week's ShiftCon event. It's such a simple and somewhat obvious statement, but it brings to light the fact that when you purchase something, you're supporting a product - and not only the product itself, but also how it was made. ShiftCon took place last week in the pretty town of Manhattan Beach, and was an event geared towards health, wellness and green living. You can check out this YouTube video to get a better idea of what the conference is all about. I randomly won a ticket to the event through my ambassadorship with FitFluential, and was ...

Being Gym-less + Gigabody Online Fitness Class Subscription Giveaway
Ever since I was a teenager, I've belonged to a regular gym.... that is, until last year, when I moved and left my beloved, cozy gym full of friendly people and didn't begin a membership somewhere new. Since then I've tried out a few regular gyms, but haven't found one that I've loved enough to join as a member. While I'll probably join a gym sometime in the near future to switch things up, I certainly haven't been bored during these months. Between hiking around Southern Cali and other outdoor workouts, trying out a couple of new workouts with Groupon, doing a few fitness collaborations for the blog, including trying out ClassPass and working out at Fitwall, taking challenging classes instructed by my newly Lagree method certified friend (Core40 review here!), and working it out ...

Chocolate Raspberry Mocktail + Puritan’s Pride Giveaway!
Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Puritan’s Pride, but as always, all opinions expressed are my own. Hi friends! Today's post is the last installment of my 3-part Puritan's Pride seasonal smoothie challenge. You may remember that in October, the theme was pumpkin smoothies (you can check out my chocolate chip pumpkin protein smoothie here), and my November creation was a pineapple mint smoothie for the belly soother smoothie theme. So what do we have going on for this month? Yummy mocktails! This simple 4-ingredient mocktail includes dark chocolate and cocoa powder, which are sources of antioxidants to support total-body wellness. Raspberries are a great source of antioxidants, fiber, and nutrients, and using frozen ones makes the mocktail a bit creamier. ... [Read More]
Pineapple Mint Belly Soother Smoothie {Puritan’s Pride Giveaway!}
Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Puritan’s Pride. As always, all opinions expressed are genuinely my own. Hi friends! You may or may not remember that last month I introduced a three-part seasonal smoothie series that I've teamed up with Puritan's Pride for. Last month's recipe theme was pumpkin (check out my chocolate chip pumpkin smoothie here!), and this month we're focusing on cleansing, belly soother smoothies. With the holidays right around the corner (read: lots of dessert, booze, decadent food, and running around like a crazy person) I think that just about all of us could also use some cleansing recipes in our lives, am I right?! Being that it's mid-November and all, I know that many of you are living in places that are feeling pretty chilly (BRRR!), so today I'm going to ... [Read More]
