Friday = Amazingness.

Package to ME from CLIF BAR :)

Why was Friday amazing? Oh, let me count the ways.

1. Because it was Friday and that, friends, is simply enough.

2. I got a very, very, very generous package (& giveaway offer) from Clif Bar, my favorite energy bar & granola bar brand.

3. See #2 because it IS amazing enough to count twice.

4. I got to take a magnificent mini-nap after dinner. I know, I know, don’t SLEEP right after you EAT. Unless it’s Friday evening and you’re pooped, right?

5. Fruit and veggies, free of charge. Keep reading for the deets.

When Clif Bar said they’d send me some samples, I figured a few bars but not in a million years did I expect such a sweet swag package! I was completely thrilled and it made me love Clif that much more!

The Inside of my Clif Goody Box

I got 3-12 bar boxes of Clif Bars and 4-10 bar boxes of Clif Crunch Bars. I can’t wait to crumble one of those Crunch bars up into my yogurt for breakfast tomorrow morning. YUM :) And before you get jealous and roll your eyes at me from behind your computer (you know we all do it), let me tell you what else rules about Clif Bar Company: They are giving 4 boxes of Clif Crunch Bars away to ONE LUCKY SHELBYSTIDHAM.COM READER! Yes! You can’t win this amazing package until my other BONDI BAND GIVEAWAY closes, so be sure to go and enter that! And keep your eyes peeled for the Clif Bar giveaway, because it’s next! Along with a complete product write-up reviewing the Clif Crunch Bars.

Free fruits and veggies. That’s what I got today. I traded my dad (who has a garden that he shares with my grandpa, yet I hardly see my fair share of veggies but I figure my grandpa’s earned them, since he takes care of the garden and all) some chicken for veggies & fruit. Here’s the random assortment of goodness that I scored:

Fruits & Veggies... Home grown!

Among that bunch are some store-bought bell peppers I ripped off from my parents house. They weren’t home and my food-stealing side couldn’t be stopped. I know, I’m a monster. Everything else was MINE FOR THE TAKING, according to my dad, so I took: a monster peach, a couple of white nectarines, some green and yellow squash, red onions, and some apples. A goooooddd trip. And guess what the best thing of the bunch is? Lemon Cucumbers.

Lemon Cucumber

You haven’t had a cold, crisp and refreshing summer salad or sandwich until you’ve had one with a lemon cucumber. Seriously, these little jewels are tasty! They are the size of a medium or small apple, but crunchy like a normal cucumber and they have a lemon-zest flavor! Soo goood.

I hope everyone had a great Friday and a safe and fun Friday night.

Here are some things cookin’ for next week:

  • The end of my BONDI BAND GIVEAWAY!
  • A post on portion size: how much is too much? Foods that are easy to over-eat and photos of what amount you should actually be eating of them.
  • 4-Box Clif Crunch bar GIVEAWAY! Keep your eye out for that one ‘cuz it’s gonna be Suuuwwweeeeeet!
  • Ways to Buy Healthy Food & Not Go Broke

Are there any subjects you want me to research or write about? I’m willing to write about almost anything, except Jon Gosselin so please, don’t go there.

Goodnight peeps.. catch ya on the flip side :)

32.

    Lemon Cucumber? I have seriously never heard of it and now I am WAY jealous cause I love cucumbers. I use a mandolin food slicer to cut it thin, tossed with a little sea salt and eat them like chips. It is really helping my movie munching problem…seems I lack self control and can easily off an entire bag of chips or popcorn myself :/

    How do you get all this cool stuff to sample? I want to do that too! Do you email them or something? Fill a girl in! :)

    Movie munching is a common one, I think! And TV munching!

    I'll have to try cucumbers that way! Good tip!

    I write to them and tell them I want to host a giveaway. The big companies (that are owned by General Mills and Coke) usually say no and offer to e-mail me coupons. The smaller companies are the best. But I'm no Skinny Runner, so I still get a lot of no's. I foot the bill for some giveaways, too, but it's worth it to make people happy!

    I thought about just emailing a few places, but I didn’t know what to say. I’d love to host a giveaway. You’re the best for making us happy!
