★ ★ ★ CONTEST! ★ ★ ★ WHAT’S IN *YOUR* FRIDGE?

6 May

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do all the grocery shopping in our house, and even at five years out, it sometimes shocks me to see my fridge. If you had looked in there five years ago, you would have seen leftover chinese food, pizza, and tons of other fast-food and take out (IF there was any actually left).

 

When I opened the door yesterday, I was really proud. I have more fruits and veggies than anything else in there, and we (on the whole) eat pretty healthy:

FRIDGE

So tell me (or show me), what’s in YOUR fridge?

2) SHARE this contest on your Facebook wall.

3) All entries must be received by Friday, May 10th at NOON, PST.

Walk From Obesity:  Melting Mama’s Bariatric Bad Girls Team
Natick, MA  - April 28th

I very readily admit that I pretty much suck at fundraising.  I always feel uncomfortable asking people for donations/money, even when it’s a cause that’s near and dear to my heart.  So help me not suck, won’t you? (click graphic to donate)

I’ll be walking with Melting Mama’s BBGC on April 28th, and I have a fundraising goal of $300.  Seriously, that should be a piece of cake (uh, bad pun), right?!  If I can’t raise that, I’m just kind of pathetic.  So help me not suck, and also help raise funds for ending obesity, won’t you?  Every little bit counts.

And my very first (and VERY generous) donation was from my new sponsor, who happens to be next on my FF list.  Granted, they made the list last week too, but any company that supports me and my cause so generously gets a second write-up, because they ROCK:

Thank you VERY much for your support, Wellesse!

If you find me living out of a cardboard box on the street, you’ll know why.  I want to spend every penny I have on the dresses from this site.  LOVE. ❤

http://www.etsy.com/shop/zria

From Ria at Skin Apotheke:  


Skin Apotheke is a organic line of skincare products based on Ayurvedic Principals from India.  Ayurveda is the oldest healing science dating back to 1500 BC. 
Ayurvedic beauty is holistic and does not believe in Parabens, sulfates, phthalates, artificial fragrances, dyes, petroleum based ingredients or synthetics. It derives its knowledge from the laws of nature which state that a person is made of many parts and when a part of our body malfunctions it disrupts all parts and the results show up as itchy, dry sensitive, unbalanced and aging skin.


I have created 100% natural, organically sourced, chemical free, Paraben and synthetic free products that deliver. I use only premium USDA certified organic oils, butters, flowers, herbs and other botanicals for all my skincare and never add anything artificial, I have incorporated some of the most effective anti- aging ingredients available on the market so that the quality and effectiveness of my products is not affected. I have also listed the organic content of each product. 

My guarantee is for products that are gentle, organic, chemical free, and be as affective against aging as some of the high end products available on the market.   ONE LUCKY CALLER WINS:  $50 Online Gift Certificate!


http://www.etsy.com/shop/phytotherapy

Natural and fun stuff for bath, body and home. All products are made from natural, organic and or fairly traded ingredients as well as repurposed and recycled materials.

From Megan:  

All of my body butters are made from natural, organic and/or fairly traded ingredients.  Made from high quality butters such as shea, mango and kpagnan (pronounced pine-ya), skin softening oils and pure essential oils, you will find these to be absolutely luxurious.  They make amazing gifts for friends, teachers, moms-to-be, your own mom… just don’t forget to grab one for yourself!  I have several staple “flavors” and am always experimenting with new ones! One lucky caller wins a Lemon Meringue Body Butter and free shipping!


“DIVAT”  DISCOUNT CODE:  ALL OF THESE ARTISANS OFFER A DISCOUNT FOR MY READERS AND LISTENERS!  JUST PUT IN THE CODE OF “DIVAT” AT CHECKOUT.  :)

MORE PRIZES & ARTISANS TO BE ADDED THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND!
