So today I turned 30, and as much as I thought I would be a tad depressed about that fact I came to realize that gosh darn-it I have way to much to be thankful for to be unhappy. I have a beautiful, healthy family, great friends and it's almost Christmas. So in celebration of all my blessing I have decided to do a giveaway. Over this last year through blogging I have been introduced to so many wonderful things I never would have thought about trying. So on my last trip to Trader Joes I decided to put together a few of my favorite things and am going to give them away to one lucky reader.
Some of the things I have included are:~TJ's Pumpkin Pie Mix, Pumpkin Butter, Blue Agave Sweetner & Freeze Dried Mangoes
~A few of my favorite bars and fruit leathers
~5 Brown Cow Greek Yogurt Coupons
~Assorted Amazing Grass Samples
~2 Bondi Band Headbands ( You Can read my Bondi Bands review here..)

I've tried a lot of new things this year, but my FAVORITE has to be my Sugoi Arm Warmers. I LOVE them!
I am a follower!
I like the "that which does not kill me" towel! or the 26.2 dragon (of course!)
Bondi bands totally rock. I have one that says "marathon mama". But I love the "cancer sucks" sweat wicking hat they have! Looks like I might need to order that!
(p.s. I forgot to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!)
I really like the "I'm taking the stairs" towel! So believe in that!
As for the Bondi Band I like the wraps; they look as if they can keep my bangs in place when exercising ! I hate when my bangs get all sweaty, ech!
One new thing I tried this year is hummus! I'm glad I tried it, because I love it!
Something new and amazing that I tried was almond butter... not sure how i lived without it!
I'm a follower!

This year I started running. Which is how I found great blogs like yours!
Happy Happy Birthday to you!
I like the "breath" towel from Inerspire, it would remind me to relax and just breath
I'm also a follower!
I absolutely LOVE the Inperspire towels. My favorite one says, "Rock Your Rearview. One step at a time."
Oh and I love all the pattern headbands a lot! I am a huge headband wearer, especially while working out, and these are so much cuter then the ones i have!
I love the Bondi Band pre-wraps. I bought some generic ones, and they are not nearly as good as the Bondi Bands!!!
After being told by doctors I could never run, that's what my goal was this year. To run.
Tomorrow will be my final step in my year long goal to learn and train and prove that anyone can be a runner.
Happy birthday!!!!
(and I am a follower... have been for months. thank you for all of the reviews and inspiring posts)

Your contest is right at the top of my blog!
I love the headbands and the ponytail caps on the Bondi site! I have never tried Bondi products and they look pretty cool.
I am torn between the Next 30 Seconds towel and the I am worth it towel. Both are sayings that I have been using this year through all the injuries and complications. There are so many inspiring towels. I love it!!!!
Whooo! I just jumped out of my chair b/c I hear SO SO much about TJ and I don't have one anywhere nearby, so I am dying to try something from TJs!
Anyways, Something new I have tried? Putting pumpkin pie spice in with my coffee grounds.
Happy Birthday!

I'm a swimmer so, the swim caps on Bondi Band would be so perfect for me. What pretty designs there are!!

Hey Happy Birthday, something new I tried this year was running. I just started in April and now I'm addicted.
I just became a follower (something I would have done without the contest).
I just checked out Inperspire, bookmarked that too, I love, love, love the Sweat is Sexy towel.
The Bondi Band choice is a little harder, it's between the Baby Girl Skull wicking hat and the I Run So I Can Eat wicking hat. Thanks for the great websites to check out, I think I'll be doing some Christmas shopping at both.
A VERY happy birthday to you! Something new I tried this year-running! I haven't run more then a couple of steps out to my car since I was in....5th grade! But this year (June) I decided to learn (learn? train?) to run a 5K! And I did it! And I'm still going!
