MPG is returning to Fit Mom’s Blog today and I’m happy to report that you will all have a chance to win a piece of workout gear!   I’ve had the amazing pleasure of working with MPG for the second time!  They’d like you to know about their hot new spring line and sent me a couple of pieces to try out.   MPG sent me the  Vivid top and Leap running skirt for purposes of review and they did not disappoint.  These products are of high quality, fit well and are really stylish as workout wear.  I particularly love all the turquoise and bright corals in the spring line.

The Vivid top offers a sleek fitting workout top that would be perfect for yoga, weight training or out on the town! It offers a light support internal bra and a deep v-neck which I adored.



The Leap performance skort is exactly as described! A fun flirty skirt that could be worn on the courts, running, or running into a store!

One of the best parts of being a blogger is the opportunities I’ve had to”meet” other mom owned companies.  These phenomenal women are athletes looking for that one thing they couldn’t find- and then created it.  I love supporting these women.  So, today, I have the pleasure of  introducing to you, The Silver Maple, owned by Jacqueline a runner and a mother, who happens to love vintage-inspired, hand crafted jewelry!

In her words from the website:

We work hard to create uniquely special pieces that channel happy thoughts. Whether it’s your child’s name, a memorable date, a special place, or an inspiring phrase, the idea is to find happiness and serenity each and every time you look at your personalized creation.

We use sterling silver and copper in our creations. Many of our pieces are hand-cut and filed from a sheet of metal, allowing us to create unique, one-of-a-kind designs. By hand, we stamp, distress, brush, and polish each piece to provide a vintage-inspired look. The meaning is special and the look is subtle but beautiful.

We also have oh-so-sweet hand-stamped baby spoons and child-size flatware sets.

Some of my favorite pieces include  “Happiness”. Lots of choices with this piece, I chose to have my children’s names stamped on mine, but, yours could say anything you want.

Or, this one, which could be YOUR WORD.

And, I positively love the ROCKSTAR bracelet!!

GIVEAWAY POST:

The Silver Maple invites you to visit their website, “like” them on Facebook, and come back a leave a comment to win.  The winner will be given a $30 gift certificate towards your choice!  Winner will be using random.com on March 31st 24st, 9pm PST. (Editor error- contest was to run for 5 days, not 10)

FTC.. Yes,  The Silver Maple sent me the Circle of Love necklace for free and the above opinions are my own.

“Your cart should be now brimming over with produce, meat, seafood, and poultry. You are almost ready to split the scene, but, you need a few more items! This will involve a foray into the guts of the store (stay out of the cookie aisle.) While you are there, you can grab a few bars of 85% dark chocolate, some red wine, and a good bottle of tequila. A caveman/cavewoman needs to party, right?” {Taken from The Paleo Solution by Rob Wolf.}

When I first heard about the caveman diet, I was very concerned about giving up all my favorite things. Life shouldn’t be that boring should it?? Well, when, I read the part about 85% dark chocolate, I knew it was a diet I could handle!! In fact, I make a point of eating it everyday…I know it’s a sugar, but, it’s such a good sugar that I don’t want to give it up {And, it is really the only sugar that is in my diet on a weekly basis). I especially love 85% Dark Chocolate by Green and Blacks Organics. Always have.



Next up, a PR note from a Green and Blacks promoting their chocolates for Valentine’s Day! Cool! I requested a variety of samples so that I may nimble daily…{much to my skins’ dismay} and I have enjoyed every single bite. So far, I am still partial to the 85% dark chocolate one, but, the Toffee Nut one is a close second.

To learn more about this amazing chocolate company, please visit their website here.

JUST FOR YOU!!

Green and Black’s Organics have also sponsored a giveaway post for you! Please show some love to them by visiting their website and come back and leave a comment! The winner will receive a variety of Green and Black’s Organics bars such as in the picture above.

Winner will be chosen at Random.org on Friday, Feb. 4th just in time for Valentine’s Day!

EDITED TO ADD THE WINNER! #36 WAS CHOSEN (& EMAILED) VIA RANDOM.ORG
THANK YOU ALL FOR ENTERING!!

P.S. Green and Black’s provided me with the above samples for purposes of review and this is my honest opinion.

For most moms, me included, it takes serious work to carve out time for yourself–whether it’s 8 hours of sleep a night, a workout or getting to a yoga class. It’s hard. Sometimes, it might look and feel like you’re being selfish, but, in the end, if you’re happy, then it’s worth it.

The American Cancer Society would like to encourage all of you to Choose You and make a commitment to yourself. Please click over to their website and commit to one nice thing you will do for yourself this year! As further encouragement, once you do that, come back here and post a comment on your 2011 “choose you” resolution. It could be as simple as an adding one extra veggie or fruit to your daily diet!

Winner will be chosen at Random (.org) on Sunday, Jan. 30th, 2011.

Edited to add: Winner number #33, Sherry Moore was chosen via Random.org!
