Favorite Things Giveaway 2011

I've been blogging for awhile now and this is my first giveaway ever. Through the blog, I've met such cool people and I'd like to say "Thanks" to all of you. I want to make this an annual tradition, if people dig it of course.

Here's some of my favorite stuff:
*Cat not included.

  • Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 DVD - which is so awesome and yet so painful.
  • Camelback Wa Wa bottle- In orange, the best color ever
  • SmartWool PHD Running Socks (There are no other socks for winter running if you ask me.)
  • 2012 Page A Day Runner's World Calendar for tips and inspiration
  • $15 to heaven, I mean STARBUCKS
  • Box o Luna Bars- I'm sorry if you hate coconut... I do not
  • Aveeno Intensive Repair Hand Lotion (so awesome and not greasy because my hands are sand in the winter. are yours?)
  • Justin's Maple Almond Butter, Chocolate Hazelnut Butter and Honey Peanut Butter packets to try. The Maple Almond is my favvvvv.
  • Shot Blocks- Cran Razz
  • Mocha Cliff Shots
  • Hello Kitty knee socks... because I love hello kitty and I love knee socks
  • Chewy Sweet Tarts or crack... whatever you want to call them.
