Win Stuff!

July 31, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Hey guys! It’s MONDAY! I know Monday is normally totally NOT fun, but here is why this one IS fun…you have the chance to win free stuff! As you SHOULD know, Bobby and I are training to run a half marathon in October with Team in Training. To help raise money for the cause, I have decided to host a raffle. All money will go directly to TNT. You can either donate online via our donation page, or mail a check to me addressed to LLS. (Please e mail me for more info about sending a check.)

Ok ok so what can we win and what do we have to DO to win? Well, lucky for you there are several different prizes, so even if you don’t win the main prize you can still win goodies AND be helping an amazing cause!

The grand prize is a running skirt from runningskirts.com!!!!! WOW!!!! Such generous ladies over there willing to help out for the cause.  You will have your choice of color from IN STOCK skirts. If you have not seen how insanely cute these skirts are, you have got to check out the website. I have an awesome job. Seriously. It’s so easy for me to sell a product I believe in!

 

(retail for $48-68)

The next prize for the second winner will be a pair of runningskirts.com compression socks!!! Your choice of color, purple, pink, azure, black, or white! These socks have a graduated compression, very cute and comfy, and make your legs very happy during or after a long run!

(retail for $32)

The third prize for a winner will be a running skirts journal and water bottle! I have one of each of these as well, and let me tell you, there is just something about a hot pink water bottle at the gym. The journal comes with a super cute pen as well.

 

The fourth prize is actually two super cool and special items made by a very talented friend of mine. It’s a running headband and rhinestone transfer made by Crystal! Look how stinking cute this is!

The transfer will probably say “13.1” in a cute font, and all you have to do is iron it on to a shirt, it’s really easy. She made my transfer for the Disney marathon, remember this?

bling bling!

Ok, so this is how it’s going to go down:

$5.00 = 1 entry

$10.00 = 3 entries

$15.00 = 5 entries

$20.00 = 7 entries

$25.00 = 10 entries

If you give anything above $25.00 I will give you an extra entry per dollar, so say you give $27.00 you would get a total of 12 entries. Also, PLEASE leave me a comment after you donate so I can keep track easier and match people up more efficiently. Thanks yall!

There are another couple of ways to get extra entries AFTER A MANDATORY $5.00 or more DONATION! You will not get entries if you do the following things but do not donate.

1.) retweet or post on your blog about my raffle ( on entry for each, link back here in your comment so I can check it out, please!)

2.) become a follower of my blog (tell me so in a comment)

3.) Become a fan of my Facebook fan page.  (tell me so in a comment)

Once again, click on the link to go to my donation page and let the fun begin! This raffle will go until Saturday at 8 pm Central time, August 13. I will pick winners using random.org and will post winner on Sunday morning, August 14th.

I am so stoked about this! Please remember this money is going to cancer research. Everyone I know has been affected by cancer in some way, so let’s find a cure! (and win cute stuff in the process, right?) Thanks for having a giving spirit, EVERY little bit helps! Your donation matters and is important to me and to every person out there right now battling this disease.

Think of it this way: $5.00 is forgoing your morning Starbucks run for a day or two, or getting something out of the vending machine at work for a week. It’s that easy! You have the power to do some good. 🙂 Thanks guys, I know I can count on you!

  7. Courtney says

    August 1, 2011 at 7:30 pm

    Hi Heather!!

    I just donated, too (Courtney Foster)!! I’m so excited for you and Bobby…good luck with your training! This sounds like such a rewarding experience!

    I read your blog every day (I look forward to reading it and enjoy your sense of humor)! I don’t know how to officially “follow” it, though. I’ll just keep reading it daily!!

    By the way, I pre-ordered the RunningSkirts stars skirt for the Air Force Marathon that I’m running in September!! Have you seen it? I’m trying to find a shirt (blue or red) that would match it, but I want the shirt to have a saying on it (like the cute shirts from Firedaughter Clothing). Do you know what shade of blue or red the stars are (i.e., navy, midnight blue, bright red, deep red, etc.) so that I can get a custom shirt for the race? Thanks!! I think you have the coolest job as a RunningSkirts rep!! 🙂

    • Heather says

      August 1, 2011 at 7:40 pm

      of course I have seen it. 🙂 the blue is I guess a royal blue, and the red is just a flat out red….def not a dark red, I’m not sure if thats helpful or not lol! I hope it is!!! Thank you SO MUCH for donating! Also thanks for the sweet comments!

    Hey Heather! I just donated under my name-Leah Moore. I check your blog every morning and follow on FB. I would post it on my blog, but I have been so lazy and haven’t updated in months. I need to get inspired. I’m wondering how Courtney pre-ordered the new skirt for fall. Am I not in a loop that I need to be in? I can’t wait for the fall line as I am anxious to see the patriotic skirt and hope it will be perfect for the Marine Corps Marathon. Have a terrific time this weekend. I can’t wait to see and hear all about it. Don’t push yourself on the half-just enjoy!

    • Heather says

      August 14, 2011 at 2:52 pm

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

#thisis40 #40andfabulous #thankyoujesusfor40years #birthdaygirl❤️ #40andoverclub
Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
