Running Divas Review and Giveaway

Who doesn't like comfortable workout clothes? Be it running, walking, Crossfit, or just a day at the gym...you have to feel comfortable in what you are wearing right?

One of my absolute favorite companies for apparel is Running Divas. I really like their Running Divas-Flaunt It tees (as you know, most of them are marathon or half marathon sayings and I have never ran one of those!...maybe one day!). After owning about 7 of these of my own, I want to share with you guys! I know some of you are very familiar with their clothing and can you argue that they aren't super comfortable and super soft? Nope you can't. And some of the sayings are absolutely hilarious. 

So as part of my weekly "My Favorite Things" giveaway, I asked Running Divas if they would be a part of it. Of course, they said yes! They were awesome enough to send me one of these for myself:



Which is absolutely comfortable! I love how its a pullover and that its so lightweight. With our random temperatures (its 76 today and will be 60s next week...really?) that is a must around WA. 

And then he sent me FOUR pieces for FOUR lucky readers! 

1. Vampire Runners Dark Thirty-Tank. Orange. Size Medium

2. how long have i been running 13.1 ribbed long sleeve tee. size Medium

3. Running Divas-Flaunt it long sleeve tee-red. Size Medium

4. Marathon Girl Grey Tshirt Size Medium
How do you enter??

Yoplait Frozen Yogurt Review and Giveaway



Not sure about any of you, but I love me some Greek yogurt. Right now, I have about 3 different types in my fridge. So when a review and giveaway opportunity appeared from MyBlogSpark for Yoplait Frozen Products, I jumped at it! 

I bought two pints with my complimentary coupon (that one of you will receive, gives you a FREE product to try out). 



The Peach was by far my favorite to eat! It doesn't even taste like frozen yogurt ice cream either. It literally tastes like someone stuck a package of yogurt in the freezer to freeze. Which honestly, makes it all the more better to me. Its not overly sweet like frozen yogurt ice cream is. It has chunks of fruit in it which is delicious. And the awesome part is 110 calories per serving. Whereas a pint of a competitors ice cream has 260 per serving. I put on some Private Practice, cracked up the tub and honestly, before I knew it half of it was gone. Whoops! But hey, its a semi healthy, delicious snack so I'll take it! 

Not only is this stuff amazing, but I want one of you to be able to enjoy it as well! So here is the giveaway part of this blog post:


Your gift pack will include:

  • Two stainless steel bowls perfect for cold desserts
  • An 8” ice cream scoop made of 18/10 stainless steel with zinc alloy
  • Coupon for free trial of Yoplait’s new frozen yogurt flavors

You are not limited to trying out the greek yogurt, that is just what I tried out. Your coupon can be redeemed for ANY of the Yoplait Frozen Yogurt products. 

Here is how you can enter:

1. Be a blog follower and comment below that you are +1 entry
2. Like the Yoplait FB page and comment below that you did +1 entry
3. Share this awesome giveaway and comment below that you did +2 entry

Giveaway will run until Dec 29th, 2012 and will close at 9am. I will post a winner sometime that day.

Running Chics Review and Giveaway!!!

Who doesn't love comfortable workout clothes? For me, its all about comfort. You are working up a sweat. Bending in ways that let's face it, you wouldn't be normally bending. You really don't want to be worried if your shirt is bunching up or your pants are in your buttcrack.

I mean at least I don't want to be worrying about that. Some people I have seen at the gym I wonder about :-P

Enter Running Chics

I can review this product in literally 4 words. It's that simple:

Comfortable.
Cute. 
Affordable. 
And stretchy. 




Don't believe me on that? Here is proof:

27 weeks in my Running Chics Bamboo Shirt...and me looking like crap.
Wearing the Stretch Flex Bamboo Shirt is literally like wearing a glove. But its not constricting at all. Its cute. Its affordable (retails for 38$) and its perfect for a fall run or winter workout. And to boot, their logos are absolutely adorable! I am actually ordering their tank with a pregnant Running Chic on it :D 

The amazing owner, Andrea, wants to share this with you! Here's how..

Prize: One Stretch Flex Bamboo Long Sleeve Shirt with logo of your choice.

1. Must be a follower of my blog. Comment below that you are. (+1 comment)
2. Head on over to Running Chics and let me know below which color and logo you want! (+1 comment)

BluApple Review and Giveaway!!

One of the biggest part about getting healthy is more fruits and vegetables. That is a given right? 

If you are anything like me though, you end up throwing a lot of in the garbage. And that just makes me angry. The commissary is lacking in the fresh produce department (hence why I get it off base now) but until I finally just bit the bullet and found other places, I was tossing a lot of my monies down the drain. Or it wasn't even that it was going bad too fast, it was that we weren't eating it quick enough. Until I started cooking like all.the.time I would buy fruits and again, half of it would go bad. Bad on my end. Bad on that end. I had a very love/hate relationship when it came to my produce! 

I saw BluApple's product on another friend's blog. She raved about it. She loves it! So I contacted the company, kinda skeptical at first, and asked if I could try it out for me and for you guys. Jessica emailed me back instantly and was happy to oblige! 

And you know what? It LITERALLY works! I have two of them, one in each of my produce drawers, and I HAVE seen a difference in the longevity and freshness of my produce! 

Here's how it works:

Ethylene gas is given off by all living plants, especially by fruits, vegetables and flowers, and acts as a chemical signal to speed up the ripening process.  The release of this gas is thought to be a mechanism by which plants promote uniform ripening or opening, etc.   In nature, the uniformity of these events attracts the maximum number of pollinators or seed disseminators, such as birds and insects. At home, however, when you store your fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, ethylene gas builds up. As a result the ripening process is accelerated too quickly.   This is a major reason we all throw out so much spoiled produce!

The Bluapple is based on technology that has been used in ships, warehouses and trucks for many years to absorb and neutralize ethylene gas buildup.  The Bluapple does not release any gas or chemical, but only absorbs, constantly removing this harmful gas from your produce storage area.  The Bluapple is not a "magic" pill, but a scientific and essential part of keeping produce fresh.   When produce was cheap, no one cared, but as prices have risen, it became apparent that a very beneficial product for the home could make a huge difference.

There are three key elements to long produce life: a) temperature - keeping produce cold; b) humidity - using vented plastic bags to keep a moist, but not wet environment; c) ethylene gas management - using the Bluapple.  Disruption of any one of these elements will cause premature spoilage.

It may interest you to know that they provide a money back guarantee, which they are proud to honor.  After selling many hundreds of thousands of Bluapples, they have processed only about 20 refund requests, to each of whom Jessica has written a letter.

The Bluapple is a proven, science-based technology that we have adapted for use in the home.  With a single gourmet apple costing $1.25 these days, our produce is an investment worth protecting.  It is their view that the Bluapple is essentially FREE.  Users easily recover the purchase price in savings within a few weeks, and the Bluapple continues to deliver value for many months thereafter.

My cute money saving BluApple! 
Now how do you start saving? Here's how! 

1. Follow my blog and comment below that you do! (Mandatory!)
2. Like BluApple's FB Page and give them some loving! Comment below that you did :D (mandatory!)
3. Share giveaway on FB, Blog and/or Twitter, one comment for each sharing please (up to 3 entries available!)

That's it! There is a possible 5 chances for you to win!!! 

Giveaway will end on Monday July 9th at 9AM. 

Good luck!!!

Vita Coco Coconut Water WINNER

In the meantime, its time for the Vita Coco Coconut Water giveaway winner.

Vita Coco Review and Giveaway!!

I first saw Vita Coco at our local Costco a couple months ago. When I was pregnant with Little Man, I used to get HORRIBLE charley horses in my legs. Like it would wake me up from a dead sleep in horrible pain because of them. Well as your athletes (and mothers) know, its because of not enough water and potassium. Yeah I was guilty on all parts! They advertise that their product is an EXCELLENT source of potassium and also hydration. Score on all parts right? (It actually says on the side of their containers...Contains more potassium then a banana but don't tell the monkeys that!) So of course I bought a couple of them to try at home. Up to this point, I have never had a drop of coconut water. Nor am I big fan of coconut period so I was kinda skeptical I would even like it.

Yeah..I was hooked.

Then I saw that an awesome blog I read, Running Diva Mom, was doing a giveaway for Vita Coco. I entered thinking that I wouldn't win cause I don't win that often on pretty much anything BUT...




I did!! (This is actually missing three containers as I have been drinking them like crazy!) 

Their pineapple flavor is so delicious. Like its crazy how delicious it is. And I drink it SUPER cold. I put a container in the freezer about 15-20 minutes before I drink it and its like drinking a slushie. Anything warmer then that and I can't drink it at all. The coconut flavor isn't very strong at all and that is what hooked me on it. Its seriously like thinking pineapple juice IMO. 

I am so in love with this stuff I contacted them about giving YOU all a chance to win a case of your own! They were more then happy to oblige so here is your chance!! 

The Prize: 1 case of 500ml bottles of one of three flavor choices: Pineapple, Peach/Mango or Acai Pomegranate.

How do you win??? 

Separate comments for each thing you do please!!

1. Become a follower OR are a follower of The Pioneer Apron (Comment below)
2. Like Vita Coco's FB page and give them some loving! Comment below that you did!
3. Tell me below which flavor you want to try out!! 
4. Share this giveaway via blog, Twitter or Facebook page. One comment for each one you do! 

So you have a possible chance at 5 entries to win your very own case! 

Giveaway will end on June 18th and will close at 9am. I will post winner sometime that day! 

Good luck to you!!

BiWeekly Menu!

So I have noticed a trend.
When I don't make a menu and stick to it, there is LOTS of eating out to be had.
And frankly I am sick and tired of wasting money on food I can cook at home, use less fattening ingredients AND it tastes so much better. 
So I sat down this weekend and made my menu. I miss cooking. I miss adding new recipes to this blog. I know I keep saying I have a bunch to add, which I do. And I just never do it. So that ends now!

This biweekly menu looks like this:

Biscuits and Gravy
Grilled PB and Honey Sandwiches
Layered Beef and Mac n' Cheese (Little Man is gonna love it!)
French Toast with Berry Butter
Risotto
Egg Salad Sandwiches on Lettuce Wraps
Chicken and Steak Kabobs (our own recipe)
White Cheddar Chicken Pasta
Chicken Pot Pie
Pasta Alla Marlboro Man
Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwiches with Onion Butter
Crockpot Chicken Tacos
Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuit Casserole
Chick Fil-A Chicken Sandwiches (homemade!)
Potato Bacon Casserole
Crockpot Beef Stroganoff

I will make sure to take picture before, during AND after and I will be posting each night. And I expect YOU to hold me to that (this should read JEN, you need to hound me since I know you love when I post new recipes! LOL) 

Hope you have a good day!

What's on the menu tonight? Tonight we are having Chicken Salad Sandwiches (our own recipe so will blog it) on Pita Pockets :D

Tomorrow will be a Vita Coco Giveaway. I'm excited and hope you are too!

Oh lazy weekends!

I love my weekends usually. They are mostly laid back filled with either a CSI or SVU marathon. Laundry gets done and I just relax all weekend. Its glorious. 

And this weekend was none different.

I took a break from nesting and just spent the day watching trash TV and reading. Some days you just need those lazy days you know? A day to just recoup and regroup.

Course a hot new Blizzard game is finally out...


So when I wasn't engrossed in A Storm of Swords, I was playing this. Little Man was either watching me play and when I wasn't he was engrossed in Other Chef playing. Other Chef, and about half of my friends, have already beaten Diablo on regular mode. I just got the full game yesterday so I am still in the beginning stages. Plus I can't seem to want to play for hours on end either. Too much to do!! And this book has severely sucked me in! I have a week left for my two week break in between classes so I am trying my hardest to get really far into this book so I don't feel bad when I have to take a break for school. 


19 Weeks Pregnant shot. Yes that is a frown face. I feel HUGE!! AND I am only 5 months. Oy! 




I look outside and its pouring. Cold too, in the mid 50s. Then I look down and I see this...

Don't let the cuteness fool ya. She's been nicknamed Spawn for a reason...

Ah the life of a cat huh? Just sleep all day and not worry about a dang thing!

Upcoming Giveaway (starts on Thursday!!): Vita Coco! A chance to win a case of a flavor of your choice out of the three they gave me :D 

What's on your menu tonight? We are having chicken alfredo :D Nom!

BK Gift Card Winner AND Ode to Sidekick...

I hope you all had a great weekend!! Mine entailed getting better, cleaning and getting homework done. Ah college, how I did NOT miss thee! 

First, the winner of the BK Gift Card. Random.org selected winner number:

#3
Wendy Rozema

Congrats to winner and thank you for the entries! I will be emailing her today and if I hear nothing back in the next 48 hours, I will be choosing another winner. 

Next on the blog agenda...

My Sidekick died. And by died I mean that it spiked the pavement.


Apparently, it didn't have a lot to live for. And that put me in a rock and hard spot because come April of 2013, TMobile loses this customer. So did I deal with that ghetto fab phone OR just buy one off of craigslist? 

So I did what any respectable person would do and bought one off of Craigslist! 

I scored a Blackberry Bold 9700 for 130$ so I am happy. I love it. I didn't think I would like going from Android to Blackberry but I do. The email and texting is so convenient. The camera is blah but oh well. Its gonna hold me over until April when we can sign on with Verizon. Then its iPhone 5!! 

Can you tell I am slightly excited??? 

What's on your menu tonight? 
Tonight we are having Mediterranean Chicken (in the crockpot), scalloped potatoes and some veggie (thinking some corn or something). Maybe even a ceaser salad to go with it. Not sure yet!

Burger King Menu Review and Gift Card Giveaway

I was recently given the chance by MyBlogSpark to try out Burger King's new healthy choice menu. I picked Wednesday night after getting my tooth taken out because let's face it, I didn't want to have to cook after going through all of that! 

Off we went to Burger King and I ordered Little Man a 6 piece kids meal. Other chef ordered the Honey Mustard Chicken Wrap with a Tropical Mango Smoothie and I ordered the Chicken Ceaser Garden Fresh Salad with the Strawberry Banana Smoothie. The wraps are a huge hit around here (so cheap and very delicious, I am a fan of the Ranch one personally) and the salad was good. Course I couldn't finish the entire thing because of my mouth BUT it was good so definetly something I will try again. The dressing that comes with it is the Citrus Ceaser Vinaigrette and I wasn't a fan of that (too tangy for me) but it was still decent. I think next time I go I might try the Ranch dressing and see how I like it with the salad. 

The smoothies....now the smoothies have got me hooked. I haven't tried their Tropical Mango one yet but Other Chef is a huge fan. He loves how there are chunks of mango in the smoothie itself. He also likes how its mixed in front of you. I am a HUGE fan of the Strawberry Banana one. So much in fact, I went back the next day to get another one. There isn't too much strawberry or banana flavor. It seems like the flavor is just right. 

Want to try out these menu items as well? Well here's your chance at a 25$ BK Crown Card! All you have to do to enter down below is tell me which item off of the fresh choice menu you'd try! That's it! 

Good luck! The giveaway will end on May 6th at 9AM :D
