Before I start talking about my first giveaway- lets do a little recap of the day shall we? Usually after every tuesday I feel completely overwhelmed and stressed out. but not today. I am not really sure why either. Maybe because I actually did not mess up in microbiology lab for once. haha.
anyway… I went running after lab- 4 miles- nice and easy- 8:12/mi average. It was a nice run- enjoyed it mucho! I had every intention of going to the 6:30 yoga class at my gym but I decided to go to Starbucks to get some tea and study instead. I have a lot of work to do tonight (trying to get to bed early so I can run 8 miles tomorrow before class!). I figure I can always do my yoga dvd one morning before class- have not done that in awhile!!
I came home and heated up some of my Vegetarian Black Bean Chili with Bulgar- topped with avocado and baked blue chips 😉
okay…onto….
THE GIVEAWAY!!!!
Katie- a PR representative from Pond’s was kind enough to allow me to do a giveaway! The package includes: Nantucket Cosmetic bag, Gaiam Water Bottle, Pond’s Wet Towelettes, and a workout towel!
I won this from Ashley’s Blog a few weeks ago and let me tell you- you want to win this giveaway! I have not tried out the workout towel yet but the towelettes are AMAZING and so is the cosmetic bag and water bottle. It is perfect for post-workouts. On my saturday long run this past weekend I brought along the towelettes, bottle, and cosmetic bag to use post-run. it worked out perfectly!!
So here is how you enter:
(1) leave a comment saying why you want to win this giveaway
(2) also list your favorite fall recipe (this is just for fun because I am curious! haha)
(3) link back to this giveaway on your blog (if you have one that is) and leave another comment on my blog to tell me that you did so! that way you have a greater chance of winning!!!
Giveaway ends on sunday! so get your comments in!!!
time to go into the lab to study for the lab practical tomorrow! waking up early for my 8 miler in the morning….have a nice night!!!

p.s. thank you for all of your pumpkin and ricotta suggestions! I wish I had the tools to make some good pizza here because ricotta and pizza sounds AWESOME. I guess I could try it but I am not sure how it will turn out. I guess I am spoiled from having a pizza stone and grill back at home! anyway….I really would like to try a pumpkin breakfast cookie, ricotta with honey and fruit, and ricotta, egg and tomato on toast 😉 any other ideas?
sweet giveaway! i’m such a no-fuss person with my cleansing routine after a workout — i’m seriously lucky that i use a basic facewash and not just soap!
my fav fall recipe is definitely apple crisp. with some vanilla ice cream? heaven!
and i shall totally link back to you…i’m pretty sure you’re notified when i do so but do i need to put a separate comment on this post too?
yes you should- that way you get 2 chances to win!
I wanna win this givaway, because I actually do not own a real gym bag!
My fave fall recipe is DEFINITELY pumpkin pie, hands down.
And when my schedule is not so hectic and I get to writing a post, I’ll totally link you.
I want to win because you make it sound so awesome!
My favorite fall recipe is Mark Bittman’s Autumn Millet Bake (found at: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/mark-bittmans-autumn-millet-bake-recipe.html)
Absolutely incredible!
What a great giveaway! I love the ponds facial cloths! I (sadly enough) will NOT wash my face unless it’s with a facial cloth. I just hate it! And my husband and I could really use another water bottle.
Try making lasagna or baked ziti with the ricotta. Or stuffed shells… Those are my favorite!
That is a cool giveaway. I’m usually never lucky enough to win these but I’ll give it a shot. One of these days I’ll win something!!
My favorite fall recipe is my moms Turkey Chili. I can eat it a million different ways and never get tired of it.
I posted a blog about the pumpkin breakfast cookie so you should definitely check it out. I would post back the giveaway link on my blog but I’m not sure what you mean by that.
Hot damn girl that chili sound amazingly good. I’m always looking for good new chili recipes! I can’t wait to get a crockpot and whip up a batch.
Hey! Would love to win this because I started yoga I have been breaking out like crazy. This would be so good after yoga and especially Bikram (my new fav).
My favorite fall thing to make is Pumpkin muffins. I will add it to my recipes soon I just want to tweak the recipe to make it a little bit healthier. Anything pumpkin really is my favorite. Can’t wait to try your pumpkin oatmeal.
Also, I linked this to my blog!

Sweet! I’d love to win it because I RRRREALLY want one of those water bottles.

I love to mix cocoa and a little sweetener (maybe a bit of vanilla extract) into ricotta – tastes like brownie batter!!

OH and my favorite fall recipe is…. pumpkin bread. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Chip-Pumpkin-Bread/Detail.aspx
Ok I linked you back.
Awesome giveaway and great blog! I’ve never used Ponds towlettes but I’ve heard great things and people keep telling me I shouldn’t be drinking out of plastic water bottles. I just started training for a 10K and I’ve never run more than 2 miles so this giveaway would be a great motivation 🙂
Fav fall recipes is definitely a hearty soup — either butternut squash soup or a veggie / barley soup. Make both all the time in the fall! If you need recipes, let me know!
This giveaway is awesome! I could totally use the workout towel for yoga or spin (I’m a big sweater!) I could especially use those wipes for after xc practice, because I go to my night class straight from practice…so I’m always a bit gross. I totally hope I win.
Hmm…my fave fall recipe would have to be apple crisp…with some really good vanilla ice cream. I love the oats, brown sugar and cinnamon crusting on top of crisp apples.
FUN GIVEAWAY! i am loving this!
okay, my fave fall recipe is CHILI. you cannot beat a warm bowl of that in the fall and winter months. will link you back later 🙂
