Hello, hello! I hope that Wednesday was kind to you…if it wasn’t I’m about to make it better for you with a SWEET giveaway! 🙂

I had a pretty solid Wednesday. It started out with teaching my 6:30 a.m. yoga class at Y2. My yogis were out in full force for some hot yoga and we filled the room 45 strong. This is not the norm! I think everyone just wanted to be warm since it was a whopping 32 degrees in Charlotte this morning. I was super grateful and super energized after teaching.

The remainder of my day was spent training a friend, writing email blasts and other work for Metro, doing blog stuff, house cleaning and so on. I did take a break with Sullie girl to go for a quick 30 minute run. I’m so proud of her. Almost 8 and still running with her momma!

I wrapped up the day with a meeting about my mega blog overhaul that is coming Summer 2014 (BEYOND ready and excited for this) and teaching another class at Y2. It’s spring break for the public schools so sub opps overfloweth.

Let’s talk about that giveaway! The second “4 year blog anniversary extravaganza” giveaway is from Erin McDermott Jewelry. Erin and I started working together over a year and a half ago and she is my favorite local business woman to support.

I visit Erin and her sweet bulldog Sukie on the regular and continue to be inspired by her creativity and success. This girl works hard!

My everyday jewelry collection is now made up of 90% Erin McDermott pieces (bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc) but I hold two items nearest and dearest to my heart.

12.22necklace

My disc necklace and my tiny charm buddha necklace.

8.10om

My Om Namah Shivaya disc necklace was the first piece Erin ever made for me. I had it custom made with a sanskrit mantra that I love. I have only taken it off a handful of times since picking it up in August 2012. And my tiny Buddha was a piece I purchased for myself and for both for layering with my disc necklace as well as the delicacy of wearing it on its own.

Now, for the giveaway. 

You get to pick between my two favorite pieces.

bepresent

Erin’s Be Present Disc Necklace. This is the perfect necklace to wear on runs, during yoga practices and in your day to day life to remind you to breathe and be in the moment.

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” -Buddha

tinybuddha

Or the Tiny Buddha Charm Necklace.

To enter the giveaway leave a comment telling me which necklace you would like to have! Giveaway ends Thursday, April 17 at midnight EST. U.S. residents only.

xoxo,

Jen
