Hi, y’all!

How’s everyone? Enjoying a beautiful, sunny Sunday – I know I sure am!

But I know the real reason you’re here isn’t for small talk, but to find out which one of you very lucky readers won an ENTIRE CASE of Chobani Greek Yogurt.

I always use Random.org so everything will be fair and square.

Mr. Random chose # 48, which belongs to Candace!

Candace said in her winning comment:

Congratulations, Candace!!! I’ll contact you via email with the news and instructions to receive your prize.

Thanks so much to all who entered. Hold on, there’s more giveaways coming – SOON!!!

Disclaimer: NuNaturals has sent samples in the past. They did allow me the opportunity to host this giveaway for you. However, I was not paid to write a review or host a contest and there are no affiliate links to them in this post.

Hi, y’all!

First of all, I’d like to apologize for the technical difficulties I’ve had lately. I have absolutely NO idea why a Christmas-themed post went live. I did not just write and publish that. I received some emails and I think some of you thought I was still wishing it was the holidays but I was away from the computer for a few days and a couple of things posted that weren’t meant to.

Also, a review published that I didn’t mean to go live. It was actually still a work-in-progress and I hadn’t finished tying up ends with the sponsor yet so I apologize for that as well. Bear with me as I work to get back into the swing of things, okay? Thanks, I appreciate it!

I have super exciting news for FOUR of you! Woo hoo! I can’t believe I was able to host this amazing giveaway and give FOUR of you the opportunity to win sweet prizes! Yay!

And what you really want to know is WHO are those lucky folks who get to receive sweet gifts from NuNaturals, right? So, let’s find out!

Now, I want to thank all of you who entered the Oh!Nuts raw pecans contest and took the time to read my in-depth review. I appreciate you all!

Note: I normally include a screen shot of the number Random.org chose but due to my laptop battery and cord going out on me at the same time, I’m on someone else’s old desktop and couldn’t get it to cooperate. You can trust me, though!

And the Winner?

And the lucky reader who will receive a one-pound bag of raw, jumbo Georgia pecans from Oh!Nuts is….

Emily’s Winning Comment

Emily @ My Chubby Confessions { 10.04.09 at 11:18 am }

I would love to try the Chia seeds. I’ve always wanted to try them bc of what they have to offer. Unfortunately, they won’t fit into my budget so they have to stay on the shelf in all their glory.

We have a winner!! I know everyone’s excited and anxious so I’ll just get right to it. The contest for the yoga mat (from The Bolder Mat Company) and the yoga DVD (by Stacy McCarthy, of Yoga Nama Stacy) has now ended. We owe a BIG thank you to both of these companies for sponsoring the review and contest and allowing us the amazing opportunity to enjoy their healthy products!

By the way, it always hurts me that I can’t give away whatever prize I’m offering to each and every one of you…

On to business: There were 65 comments in all, and I used random.org to select a winner.

Here’s Mr. Random’s answer:

So, who was the lucky owner of comment #58?

PlaidEarthWorm (Beth Bartlett, of www.plaidearthworm.com)!!

Her winning comment said:

58 plaidearthworm { 08.19.09 at 5:55 pm }

You should get the pingback, but I thought I’d let you know I also mentioned you and the contest on my personal blog: http://plaidearthworm.livejournal.com/21207.html

Her first comment (there was seven ways to enter):

45 plaidearthworm { 08.15.09 at 10:47 pm }

Before today, the last time I tried to do yoga a year ago, I cried, because I was too heavy to do the poses anymore, and didn’t have enough room in my living room to move my big body. Today I did 45 min. of yoga b/c I’m 90 lbs lighter. It felt great! I’d love to win Fish Wish, so I can keep swimming upstream against the stress.

Congratulations!

I’m so happy for you, Beth! Comment #45 is a real tearjerker, in my opinion! Let me tell you, folks: Beth has been on a journey to improve her health. I’ve lost over 100 pounds myself, so I know that her losing 90 pounds is NO EASY TASK! I commend her for sticking to it and keeping her eye on the prize.  She’s persevered and deserves applause–and this prize! *claps hands*

So, keep swimming, Beth. Keep swimming! Just zip me an email (healingwithjuices at gmail dot com)with your mailing information and I’ll get it to the companies. They’ll be in touch with you and you’ll get to tell them you want that Fish Wish mat. I know you’ll enjoy years of yoga with your mat and DVD. Yay!

Didn’t win?

Don’t worry! There are a TON of upcoming contests!!
