Win-It-Wednesday: Melville Candy Honey Spoons

February 21st, 2017

gussetbagmelvilleOn a cool winter day I love a sweet cup of hot tea in the afternoon. And my favorite sweetener for my tea? Honey, of course!

But carrying around a container of honey to add to my tea while on the run can become one big sticky mess. That is why I was so very excited to find Melville Candy Honey Spoons to make sweetening my tea quick, easy and as sweet as can be. All I need to do is dunk the honey spoon into my hot tea, stir it up a bit and wait about one minute to enjoy my perfectly sweetened tea.

For this week’s Win-It-Wednesday I picked up two packages of the Melville Candy Honey Spoons for the two lucky winners of this contest! Each package contains five (5) Melville Candy Honey Spoons made with real honey on wooden ball sticks. The Honey Spoons are all natural and gluten-free.

One (1) winner will be randomly selected to win a bag from the entries received before Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at 11:59 PM EST, and one (1) more winner will be randomly selected to win a bag from the entries received between Wednesday, March 1, 2017 and Tuesday, March 7, 2017 at 11:59PM. SO – make sure you enter two times to win!

Win-It-Wednesday: Lifestyle Awareness Tea

February 7th, 2017

LA stress balance teaI love a good cup of piping hot tea on a cold winter day. There’s something medicinal about brewing the water, letting the tea bags seep and sitting back in my favorite easy chair to enjoy the aromas and tastes of the tea.

It’s a ritual to be savored and enjoyed.

That’s why I was more than thrilled to find Lifestyle Awareness Tea. Their specialty blends of teas are just perfect for those times you need to relax, or get a pick me up, or become more focused, relaxed or centered.  The Lifestyle Awareness Teas are Organic, Vegan, Kosher and Gluten-Free. They are also fair trade.

Some of the blends that Lifestyle Awareness offers are: Stress Balance (with calming rose petals), Chamomile (to ease tension and support digestion), Peppermint (to support healthy digestion) and Wake Up Now (to promote clarity and focus), plus many, many more varieties!

February 6th, 2017

multiwomenWhere did January go? It seems that 2017 just started yesterday, yet a whole month has come and gone! Along with the month of January being bye-bye-bye, I’ve also found that a few of my resolutions to get healthy have also slipped between my fingers and disappeared within the last 30 days.

If you’re in the same boat as me, have no fear! MegaFood is here to help both you and me (Plus…others in need too… just read on!)

If you’re not familiar with Megafood here is a quick synopsis…

Megafood was founded in 1973 in Derry, New Hampshire with the promise to produce the highest quality supplements. Fast-forward 44 years later and Megafood has surpassed their promise and is a leading provider of high-quality, top-notch supplements. They produce vitamins, probiotics, minerals and Booster Powders.

And best of all, of the Megafood products are free of gluten, dairy and soy and are also non-GMO.

My favorite Megafood product is the Multivitamin.  I love that they make specific multivitamins for women of all ages, men of all ages, pregnant gals, and kids. I feel confident taking Megafood products because I am assured they are gluten-free and have the highest standards and ingredients. megafood 1

When I heard about Megafood’s mission to Close the Nutritional Gap and get people (like me!) on the right track, spread the word to all of you and also help those in need, I was thrilled to find out more.

Megafood’s Close the Nutritional Gap promotion is brilliant. It works by “pledging” to close your nutritional gap by taking a MegaFood MultiVitamin, and signing up for the Pledge. The first 20,000 pledgers receive a $5 off coupon and all will be entered for a chance to win a year’s supply of Multis and some awesome wellness giveaways just for pledging. MegaFood will then donate 1 bottle of Multis for every pledge (up to 20,000) to someone in need. Plus, they will make a donation to Wholesome Wave, equivalent to 2 servings of fresh fruits & veggies per pledge for those in needs.

Signed up for the pledge is easy… and getting the $5.00 coupon for any Megafood MultiVitamin is just a “Hit Print” button away!

Win-It-Wednesday: Rhode Island’s Organic Dressings

November 1st, 2016

fullsizeoutput_274 (3)This week’s Win-It-Wednesday is sponsored by my new favorite salad dressings… Rhode Island Organics. Just one try of these super healthy and phenomenally tasty dressings, and you’ll see why they have quickly become my go-to for my dressings, marinades and dips.

How do I love Rhode Island Organic Dressings? Let me count the ways…

First, and most important, these dressings are made with only the highest-quality ingredients. The oil the use in the dressing is Olive Oil. No cheap filler-oils like canola, corn or soybean are used. Using quality ingredients delivers a superior taste! For an added bonus, they include the omega-3 fatty acids that are recommended for your heart and brain health.

The Rhode Island Organic dressings (with the exception of the Ginger Plum) are certified Gluten-Free. The dressing are also Certified Organic (with the exception of the Honey Mustard), and they are all non-GMO. And if you’re worried about added sugar or sweeteners, you need to check out the Caesar and Balsamic Vinaigrette dressings… Both have no sugar or any other sweetener added!

The variety of the gluten-free dressings is awesome too. The gluten-free flavors include Honey Mustard (I love this drizzled over wood planked grilled salmon), Balsamic Vinaigrette (great tossed over fresh salad greens), Raspberry Vinaigrette (Love this over a fresh strawberry salad) and Caesar (a refreshing & organic twist on a classic). The ways to use these dressings are endless!

You need to check out the Rhode Island organics website too. They have some great recipes like the Fall Fresh Green Salad with Dried Cranberries or the Shrimp Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing.

And how does the Rhode Island Organics dressings compare to your dressing? Check out this comparison chart below that I found on the Rhode Islands’ Organics Facebook page.

There are so many ways that Rhode Island Organics are far better than all other dressings. And as we New Englanders would say, “You’re wicked smaht if you try (and buy!) these dressings!”

And if your feeling lucky… A total of two (2) BeFreeForMe members will be selected to win a two-pack of Rhode Island Organics Dressings.  One winners will be randomly selected from the entries received before Tuesday, November 8, 2016 at 11:59 PM EST, and one more winners will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, November 9 and Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at 11:59 PM.
