 “Pin” this to Pinterest for a bonus entry!
Remember how we mentioned that this week was our family’s “unplugged” week? Well, that week has arrived and so we will be taking a week off of modern electronic devices and spend some good ol’ fashioned family time together. That also means that we won’t be blogging this week! But… when we come back online next week, we are going to start our Be Prepared Summer 2013 Series (Read about that HERE).
BUT….. we didn’t want to leave you out of our fun too…. so we are going to have a HUGE giveaway this week!
For this giveaway… we will be focusing on “healthier” options for living. As you may know, we’ve been moving more and more into a natural, whole living lifestyle all while staying on a still tight budget. We have been amazed that we have been able to transition to this lifestyle on a tight budget… many think it can’t be done.
Well, we want to get many of you going, or continuing to be healthy on a tight budget… so we are having a health minded giveaway!
There will be many prize options and 14 winners! Let’s get it going!
Here’s the prizes:
2 Winners Each Win a Set of the Best Essential Oils for Cleaning!
Two of you each get one of these sets of Best Essential Oils for Cleaning!!! We’ve been talking about the 7 best essential oils for cleaning for a while now (details on cleaning naturally with essential oils HERE). Essential oils turn your homemade cleaners into the bacteria and microbial killing machines, but completely naturally and healthily!
1 Bottle of Nature’s Alchemy Lavender Essential Oil
1 Bottle of Nature’s Alchemy Tea Tree Essential Oil
1 Bottle of Nature’s Alchemy Lemon Essential Oil
1 Bottle of Nature’s Alchemy Cinnamon and Cassia Blend Essential Oil
1 Bottle of Nature’s Alchemy Peppermint Essential Oil
*Please note, my picture shows a hodge podge of brands from my own collection, but they will all be Nature’s Alchemy, which is one of my favorite brands as it is a good quality essential oil perfect for cleaning! If you already have the Essential Oils for Cleaning and you win this giveaway… we would be happy to give you a gift certificate for the value to use on anything on the Vitacost site instead!
Also, don’t forget to visit our 26 Homemade Cleaners Recipes for natural, healthy and chemical-free cleaning… all of pennies on the dollar too!
4 of you will win a $25 gift card to Tropical Traditions Online Natural and Organic Grocery Store
As we have mentioned MANY times before, Tropical Traditions is one of our “go-to” online grocery stores. They have many coconut derived products (oils, flours, flakes, etc.) as well as tons of other organic groceries. Truthfully, they are on the “high” side. BUT they have awesome buy one get one free or 50% off sales on certain products each week, combined with the free shipping promotions that they will run and it means you can get some pretty sweet deals… and that’s when we shop there!
Not only do they have groceries, but they have their own versions of personal care products and cleaning products. We have only bought groceries because we make our own cleaners and make most of our personal care products too (our personal care product recipes will be the theme this Fall, so stay tuned :))
So with a $25 gift certificate, you can get quite a bit of natural and organic groceries with the 50% off sale and free shipping they they will have!
2 Winners Get Their Choice of Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods $20 Gift Card
For an option to buy healthier, organic foods locally, we will supply 2 of you with your choice of Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s gift card! Which would you choose (we love Trader Joe’s, so that would be our personal choice :))?
6 Winners Will Each Win a Body Wrap That Naturally Tones and Tightens with Botanical Ingredients To Help With Natural and Physical Health!
Results above from using 1 wrap – before on the left and after on the right!
Another example of results from 1 wrap – top is before and bottom is after.
We are so excited to give these away! They are natural body wraps that work and you can use anywhere on your body to reduce your size and tone and tighten your skin in those areas. It uses all natural ingredients and a good way to slim down.
First, I will tell you, I was completely skeptical of this product. I thought “yeah right!” You see, my tummy is my problem area. No matter how much I exercise, walk, eat healthy and live healthy, I cannot seem to shrink my middle. I just figured it was my trophy for having 5 kids in 7 years. Although it was a trophy I wanted to hide, I couldn’t seem to reduce the “bulge.” I actually stopped doing tummy crunches because I just felt like they were building muscles under my bulge as my stomach seemed to bulge out more after!! ARRRGH! 🙂
So…. when this product was introduced to me, I tried it with the most skepticism I have in my body and had very little expectations of it.
Well…… I have used 3 of these wraps on my tummy because after the first one, I lost a couple of inches!!!! So I am continuing to use them and at $30 each retail (I am actually paying $14.75 each with a special they had), it is a more affordable option than many out there. I have lost many inches and much happier that I am FINALLY seeing results there!
The inches I lost previously have stayed off and supposedly they will stay off for up to 2 months if I change no lifestyle habits. But with exercise and healthy eating, they say the results can be indefinite.  So far, that is the case 🙂
So we decided to include this in our giveaway this week because it is something you can do for your physical self to get healthier and lose fat, which is always healthier – plus pamper yourself a bit! Right before my sister got married, my mom and others were going to the salon for a special of $89 for a body wrap to constrict and make you lose water weight and a bit of pampering, which these results are only for a few days. I ALMOST did this, but I talked myself out of it because the results were just water loss and only temporary – I wanted something more permanent, especially if I was going to be spending that kind of money.  But this is entirely different and you don’t lose water weight… the botanical ingredients are actually shrinking fat cells at a very low price – so I am hooked!
You can use them anywhere and here’s some examples of using these wraps on arms and thighs:
Results of 1 wrap on the thighs (before, after 1-hour and 24-hours later)Â 
Left side is before and right side is after!
I haven’t personally tried it on my arms and thighs yet, but am planning to after I get my tummy where I want it 🙂

Kim
Eating cleaner
Laurie
I would really love to get my family on organic produce, and eating more of it. But it’s been so hard to even increase produce in our family because I feel I can’t afford the “cheap” stuff, let alone the organic.
Karrie Hockenberry
We are becoming more conscious of GMO foods. Eating more organic and free range. Eating less “white” foods (breads, rice, pasta, etc.) And exercising more! I recently lost well over 100 pounds and have NO PLANS to turning back!
Ann
I’m trying to take better care of myself in general. Finally commit a little time every day to just me and my health and well-being.

My healthy lifestyle changes would be to eat more fruits and vegetables, get more rest and better sleep and exercise more.

I want to start using essential oils and making my own cleaners. I haven’t done that before but I am very much interested in it.
Kathy
I am always looking for ways to make healthier choices for me and my family! I am especially interested in the essential oils so I can make homemade cleaners using the recipes you recommend!
Mary
Healthy living for us means: real foods, healthy cleaning options and grace when we don’t get it right
Cindy Bechinski
I need to start exercising even if it is just walking!
Aubree
I’ve been researching everything holistic and alternative for teeth, and how our nutrition and ability to absorb nutrients affects our dental health (from the inside out, not the outside in). We also switched to natural cleaning and I’m working to switch my family completely to whole foods/sprouted and fermented grains and vegetables. I’m currently healing my gut (with a combination of oils, supplements, dietary changes) and restoring it enough that I can exercise with the programs I love (a la P90X) once again! I want to have my house completely converted to a non-toxic, health-promoting zone!
Jennifer A
We’re slowly working on eating healthier, as a family. This would help kickstart our process!
Barb K
Try to walk more and do exercises. Eat better. I am trying to change some bad habits.
TeriJ
I am working on getting away from processed foods and cooking more from scratch. DH and I both have blood pressure that is higher than I want so by cooking from scratch I can control what is in our food and the amount of salt.
Amy Senecal
I’ve been using the Trim Healthy Mama and losing some lbs. So excited! Going sugar free and eating healthy foods has me feeling great!

april

I want to lose weight and get rid of my diabetes and high blood pressure. Eating more natural foods goes a long way towards that. Also reducing debts reduces stress which reduces high blood pressure and the harmful effects of diabetes also.

Janice Stone Hartenhoff
I have a lot of weight to lose to become healthier and eliminate some medical conditions. I have lost over 40 lbs so far, but still have a long way to go. I am a single mom to a young son and I want to be around a long time for him. His childhood is passing quickly and I want to be able to participate more and make some really special memories with him, before he grows and has no time for me.
Nikki
We are eating more fresh veggies, exercising and reading this blog for more great tips! Thanks Thrify Couple! 🙂
