Back in November, Michelle stumbled upon a local Toronto based company called Urban Running Girl. Urban Running Girl makes running shrugs...yes, that's right...RUNNING SHRUGS! These shrugs are designed for active women. "The idea of a running shrug came about from the need to keep warm while warming up during and early morning run, particularly in the spring and fall. It's too cool to start with only a tank top or t-shirt, but once you are warmed up and/or outside the temperature rises. Then it becomes too warm for a long sleeve shirt or jacket". These shrugs come in a variety of colours: purple, black, pink, orange and turquoise. The shrugs are made of tech material that wicks away quickly, it also has fold over cuffs that you can use to cover your hands on cooler days!
Prize: One awesome running shrug in your choice of colour!
Allergic Solution
Allergic Solution allergen-free mixes were created from a
place of knowledge about nutrition and how a balanced diet and healthy
lifestyle can heal the body. The founder of the company is both a nutritionist
and consumer who has yearned for healthy, allergen-free, gluten-free food
products available in the market place. Their mission is to provide ethically
and socially responsible products that support the needs of people with
allergies, assist in reducing inflammation in the body and contributes to overall
health. The mixes are free of corn, dairy/casein, gluten/wheat, peanuts,
tree-nuts and soy and are also 100% vegan, kosher certified and are made in
North America.
Prize Includes: Yeast Free Bread Mix, Pancake/Waffle Mix, Vanilla Cake Mix, Carob Cake Mix and a recipe book.
Omega Crunch Shelled Flax

Regular flax contain a hard outer shell that our digestive
system is unable to breakdown so it passes through the body without us
absorbing any of the nutrients of the kernel found inside. You can get
around this by using ground up flax but the taste leaves a lot to be desired. Omega Crunch however, is produced with shelled flax (flax that has had
the hull removed from the inner flax kernel). Your body is able to easily
digest the flax seed and reap the benefits offered by the seed. And they
taste great! The natural flavour really doesn't taste like anything and you can throw it in granola and raw macaroon recipes, or top of yogurt with a
tablespoon of shelled flax. It adds a crunchy texture without the taste
of the ground flax. You can also buy it in maple, cinnamon and garlic
flavours.
The other thing I really love about this product is that is
is made right here in Nova Scotia. In fact, it is produced in New Minas
which is only 20 minutes away from where Suzi lives, and is produced in partnership
with The Flower Cart which is an organization that provides training and
employment for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Prize Includes: One 225g shaker
bottle of Regular Shelled Flax.
Koge Vitamins

NoSweat Laundry
NoSweat has been amazing for Katy from Fit in Heels, who has invested so
much money in workout clothes. What goes in to the washing machine is rank-ass,
stinky laundry (courtesy of her and her husband, two fitness junkies who like to
sweat) and what comes out smells so good it makes her want to shove her face in
my husband's jock. Katy's words.
NoSweat can be used on its own (you need the teeeeniest
amount), or in addition to your laundry detergent. It takes out yellow stains
and works specifically with workout gear materials! In addition, the Mat Spray
can be an amazing addition to your yoga practice, to freshen up your mat!
This is a must-have for any fitness instructor, personal
trainer, Phys Ed teacher, runner, athlete, or anyone else who lives in their
workout gear.
Prize: Two full-sized 500ml NoSweat laundry detergent (one in sweet freesia and one unscented), one travel size citrus rush laundry detergent and one mat spray in sweet freesia.
