Everyone loves free stuff… and I got some free stuff! Around the holidays, I noticed that a lot of the blogs I follow were doing some kind of giveaway. Submitting an entry was as simple as comment on a post or clicking the ‘like’ button on Facebook or the ‘follow’ button on Twitter. Of course, I did a little commenting, a little liking and a little following to up my chances of getting a fabulous prize and, well, I WON TWO PRIZES!

First, CHOBANI! The Trendy Trainer was giving away some Chobani… so I jumped on that opportunity obviously. I’ll be receiving my prize sometime mid-January. I’ll use this as an excuse to bake some Greek yogurt treats using my new standing mixer. Side note: If you don’t already, you should totally follow @Chobani on Twitter and Instagram for beautiful pictures of Greek yogurt… #droolworthy

My second prize, ENERGYbits! I’ve tried ENERGYbits before, in fact, I have some in my desk drawer right now. My first experience was a little, ‘meh,’ because I could not get over the smell or taste. But, I know how good algae is for the body, so I’d like to give them a few more runs. Who know… maybe I’ll become a bits ambassador. I won’t get ahead of myself, though. ;) Thank you to On An Inhale for setting up this awesome holiday giveaway!

My first run with the bits.

Happy holidays, everyone! Stay healthy, stay happy.
