Five Randoms For Friday

First of all… You may notice that my blog has changed and is in disorder… I’m going through a phase where I want to change my blog… I don’t know how long this phase will last but I’ll let you know when I’m finished and my blog is finite! ;)

Also this blog post is a part of the Running Bloggers Fitness Friday Linkup.  You can find their badge on my left sidebar… Now on with my Five for Friday…
_______________________________________________

1. It’s been nice out and now that I don’t have homework keeping me inside I get to play outside in the sun! :)  Which means I get to start  “Plankin’ it up outside”

OMG! Look at that skill!! ;)  Don’t ever listen to anyone who tells you I can’t multi-task! 
I’m planking and taking a picture at the same time!! ;)  #PROOF 

2. I’ve won a couple giveaways in the past couple months:  A Nathan Handheld with Nuun, a Twetebird Headband, a Color Me Rad 5k Entry, and KT Tape… I’m one LUCKY Runner ;) tehe!

3. Speaking of headbands… I got my Boston Strong BicBand headband and it rocks… These were sold to raise money for the One Fund, the official Boston Charity (you can read more HERE) … Guess how much money was raised up til I got mine in the mail … OVER $16,000!!

Runners are a special breed… for more than one reason! ;) This looks like a mug shot…
also, I spy with my little eye.. a bottle of NUUN! ;)

4. Does anyone have any Memorial Day race recaps you’d like to share?  Apparently everyone is super busy this week because no one has joined the Race Recap Roundup #linkup Par-TAY!  Get going and linkup your race reports already!!  jeesh! ;)  (It doesn’t have to be a Memorial Day race… just sayin’)

5. LAST but certainly not least… Don’t forget to enter for the chance to win a 1-month subscription to Bestowed! The box is full of wonderful goodies!  CLICK HERE (or the image)

Bestowed Box Review & Giveaway

Before I tell you all about Bestowed… the Reebok Spartan Race Entry winner is….

Congratulations!  I will be emailing you shortly with your prize! :)

_____________________________________________________

Now… on to Bestowed!! It seems like every time you head to the grocery store, there’s a new healthy food on the shelf that you’ve never heard of before!  Well, Bestowed gives you the opportunity to discover healthy food you’ll love! That’s why when they contacted me to do a review I immediately replied! :)

Bestowed is the creation of nationally recognized nutritionist and author Heather Bauer and is the answer to all those that have ever stood in the health food section of their local grocery store and said to themselves..."which one of these is really the best??"

Each month, Heather and her team of health and diet experts carefully curate 5 product samples that have caught their attention. Items like nutrition bars, snacks, breakfast cereals, and supplements are just a few of the categories considered. (Source)

When I received my Bestowed Box I was so excited to see what samples where in it… such mystery and anticipation I couldn’t contain myself!!  By the way, every box comes with a paper that explains each sample and has tips on how to use it.

My box came with:

• Teechia Super Seed Cereal
• Good Eating Salads book
• Sun Cups Dark Chocolate Sunflower Butter Cups
• Navitas Coconut Water Powder
• Way Better Snacks Sweet Chili Tortilla chips
• Larabar Uber
• Everyday Califorinia EVOO

A couple of my favorite samples from this box were the Way Better Snacks Sweet Chili Chips, the Teechia Super Seed Cereal, and the Good Eating Salads book!  I have a couple of the salad recipes dog-eared already because let’s face it… my salads tend to be the same thing over and over again! 

The best part about Bestowed is that it contains different samples each month and you can join and subscribe to Bestowed HERE for $19/month or $209/year!  I think that’s a great deal and I LOVE the concept of Bestowed! 

The BESTEST part is that Bestowed is giving my readers $5 off if you use the following discount promo code:  5OFFBESTOWED01

And the ABSOLUTE bestest is that they are offering one of my readers the chance to win a 1-month subscription to Bestowed (1 box).  Right now they can only ship in the US so to enter you need to be a US resident.  To enter, just fill out the rafflecopter form below.
