Blogging for Endometriosis – Week 2 Giveaways!

March 11, 2013 By

We are already into week 2 of Blogging for Endometriosis! A HUGE thank you to everyone who has been participating so far as I know I have gotten so much out of reading your posts and chatting with you on the event Facebook page!

The week 1 giveaway winners have been drawn! Congrats to Nikki and Cheryl! Expect an email shortly :)

And now it is time to another round of giveaways courtesy of our wonderful sponsors and we will have 3 winners for this group of giveaways! Our sponsors are so awesome!

 

Beautiful Awareness Jewellery

First up is a beautiful necklace and endometriosis charm from Seaview Jewellery! When I asked Zoe why she wanted she participate in Blogging for Endometriosis Awareness, she said, “I want to be involved in raising awareness for Endometriosis for my friend who has it. Also, as someone with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I know how important it is to raise awareness of chronic and invisible illnesses; not only so people understand what we go through, but to raise more money for research.” I wish there were more people like her out there!

These are the two beautiful pieces up for grabs:

Endometriosis Charm / Spoonie Necklace

I personally own the Spoonie necklace and love it! I get a lot of questions about what it symbolizes (I guess “normal” people don’t walk around with spoons hanging from their necks) and I love having the opportunity to share The Spoon Theory and a little bit about invisible illness! One winner will receive these two beautiful items!

It’s about how much you give back.” What a beautiful mission statement and I am incredibly thankful for her generous donation to our endometriosis awareness campaign!

SmartBones Review & Giveaway! **CLOSED**

March 9, 2013 By

I am a proud pet parent. My dogs are very much a part of our family. Charlie is most definitely one of my best friends even though she has four paws and a tail. Chloe annoys the snot out of me is Abby’s partner-in-crime and I love watching Abby love on her and how patient and protective Chloe is of her. I cannot imagine life without them (although I do sometimes dream of not having to vacuum the floors 18326230 times a week to manage the dog hair).

While food allergies are a regular part of my life and diet, they are also play a role in their diet and my shopping choices as well. Chloe has a very sensitive system and as much as she would love to chew on a big ol’ rawhide bone, I can promise you that you will not want to be in the same house with her if she does. She will literally run you out of a room. As a result, I am picky when it comes to picking out dog treats.

Enter SmartBones.

SmartBones is a line of rawhide-free dog treats created by PetMatrix. Chew treats do not only provide a special snack for your dog but are also an important part of dental health. Unlike traditional raw-hide treats, SmartBones products contain a special vegetable layer that is fortified with vitamins and minerals to help supplement daily nutritional requirements.”

SmartBones have recently expanded their product line to include SmartChips and SmartSticks snacks! My two girls were very eager to give them a try:

SmartSticks SmartChips SmartBones Dog Treats

They were very happy taste-testers and I love knowing that while I can spoil them with treats they enjoy, I also know that they are helping keep them healthy!

Now it is your turn to spoil your pups! PetMatrix is generously giving one lucky reader 1 bag each of their new SmartChips and SmartSticks! To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment telling me your favorite thing about being a pet owner! Easy-peasy! 

Giveaway is open to US readers only. Winner will be drawn next Friday March 15th! Good luck!

***Disclosure: I was provided one bag of SmartChips and one bag of SmartSticks from PetMatrix in order to facilitate this review. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.***
