What a week! {my Kohls #wellnesswish and giveaway details}

December 14, 2014 Kristin, Exploring Domesticity

Oh my goodness, you guys, last week was a whirlwind!

Actually, it goes back about two weeks ago…

As I started the Health and Fitness Holiday Giveaway Hop, I felt behind because we had just gotten back from 3 weeks away and I didn’t have all my giveaway items in line as the holiday weekend hit. I sent out emails to all the amazing companies from WOW Summit and was completely overwhelmed by their generosity!! I ended up with prizes so amazing it seemed like I could have done 5 seperate giveaways and still have them be awesome! Then came the hard part, keeping up with the reviews that I wanted to go with the prizes to thank the amazing folks who were so generous as to offer amazing prizes for you!

So, what happens when we’re already a little stressed with settling in after a trip, setting some strict deadlines for a usually 2-3x per week blogger, and getting back to reality before Christmas?

You can expect to get hit with a few curveballs!

Curveball #1: The flu. I was completely out of commission right on the thick of things. Luckily, my husband was home, but that was when I had expected to get the most work done.

Curveball #2: Two amazing opportunities that were such a perfect fit and so much fun to be involved with I couldn’t say no! I mean, a Pay It Forward Twitter Party and a post about Health Insurance where I knew I was going to view all their awesome videos anyway to help myself choose… I had to do it!

Curveball #3: Kohls granted my #wellnesswish and brought a film crew to our house for 2 days!!

Talk about unexpected!!

While on vacation, Kohls had asked our #wellness wish in a Facebook group I am fortunate enough to be a part of. Others chose pretty attainable things and I went with the dream – a personal trainer to come to my house (with a babysitter). As other wishes for hocking boots and kitchen supplies were granted, I was kicking myself for not choosing an XBox with workout games or something from the Kohls catalog. So, when I got the call from Kohls that I would be getting a personal trainer I nearly fell over!!

Then, while I was sick in bed with the flu, my personal trainer, Addie, called to touch base. She also let me know that Kohls would be coming out to film me and my family. Talk about timing…

The folks from Kohls and the film crew were so sweet and we had a lot of fun! Definitely more on that as I become famous and my video is seen all over the world – ok… It will come down to a 1.5 minute video probably only shared with the Facebook group, but a girl can dream.

I finally feel like I may be able to slow down a bit – after multiple midnight work sessions my DietBetter work is getting back on track (contact me if you want help hosting a New Year game!), I don’t have any strict deadlines as Christmas approaches, and the giveaway is ending tomorrow.

That brings me to my Holiday Health and Fitness Giveaway news…

I didn’t get a chance to include all the amazing products in the giveaway that I had planned. I figure this is good news because everyone has a second chance at the prizes that were not added yet!

The winner on Tuesday will have so many amazing things they won’t know what to do with them!

The final prize is:

Canyon Bakehouse delicious gluten-free bread varieties and the most amazing muffins.

SweetLeaf Stevia Holiday varieties including holiday flavor sweet drops and SugarLeaf for baking.

An amazing NUK Baby Food and Smoothie Maker!

And a little something from me and the kids, some bow tag stickers to make your holiday wrapping easier.

Pretty awesome stuff!! So be sure to enter because Monday is the last day!

And for those of you who were most excited about the Mrs. Thinsters cookies – I promise to send an email when that giveaway goes live after the holidays because that will be an amazing one!! Whew! What a busy couple weeks!
