Sun Chlorella (Giveaway -- Updated)

Update 4/25/11: The winners (as chosen by Random.org) are... Kristin and Glenn!!  Please send me your mailing addresses to my G-Mail account Nobel4Lit2.


------

I have seen countless Japanese infomercials about a certain green drink that somehow improves the quality of life for the people who provide testimonials.  And I'm not just talking about a few sentences... they go through the hardships and life stories of these people.... no one suspecting that they are actually watching an infomercial.

Well, this is MY version of the long testimonial.  I received a bunch of Sun Chlorella samples, and being the running, STRESSED, stomach-sensitive, and stressed person that I am..... vowed to try them ALL.


This line of products boasts fiber, prebiotics, chlorophyll (from freshwater algae -- hey, it works for plants!), protein, and veggie content.  Even though my eating habits have improved a LOT, I can always use something to balance out my diet in times of STRESS.

"A" Tablets: One serving size consists of 15 pills. Don't freak out -- they aren't big -- I can gulp these down simultaneously.

They also make a bigger size with fewer pills to swallow... as well as a granulated version.  Don't be like me and try to mix the granules in your water, thinking they will dissolve.  They don't.  The granules are for hiding in food, but I can toss the packets down my throat like pills, anyway.  :$


After a few weeks of use, I noticed three main things: my skin was clearer, cravings for sugar and other junk went down a little (could be other reasons for this, though), and my digestion was regular (sorry for the TMI).  While I'd love to say it helped my energy levels, my unusually high level of stress makes testing this possibility nearly impossible right now.

There was also a facial cream intended for anti-aging in the package.  I am not sure it helped with clearing up my skin, but it did take away some painful dryness I had been having for weeks before that.  The cream also smells and feels good.

The Sun Euthero tea and supplements claim to give an energy boost without the joltiness of caffeine.  I liked the light-flavored tea, though I am not sure I felt boosted.  It could just be my busy schedule/stress, though!

Lastly, since I said I'd try ALL the items given to me, so I had to use up the "pet" versions of the tablets.  Since chlorella is detoxifying, I figured they would benefit.  The dog was an ideal candidate, since he'll eat pretty much anything. 

This is his "leave it"/"wait" trick:


He liked these so much that he stole the remainder of the package!  :$  I had to pry it away so he wouldn't eat more than the recommended number of pills.


Perhaps most surprising is that the cat ate them, and I had NEVER seen her eat something that isn't fish- or chicken-flavored before.


In short, I like these products, as do my pets.  If you'd like to win one of two (2) sample packages similar to the one pictured at the top of this entry, do one of the following by: April 24th 11:59:59 PM (I'll select two winners via Random.org)

  1. Interesting, I am always up for trying new products that help with stress, my stomach woes, and generally are natural products!

    I also wonder if my kitties would like them, your animals look so sweet!!

    Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

  2. My gawd look at the pets go at those pills. Can't even believe the cat is eating them. She is semi picky about what she eats. I would like some. Give it here!

  8. Your pets make me wonder how my dog would be with another cat around. She gets so jealous of other dogs, I'm not sure what her reaction to a cat would be!

  9. No wonder the pets are hesitating. Don't they look like rabbit turds?

Giveaway Winner! -- Sony W Series MP3 Player (Update)

Updated Post: 3/20/11 As promised, here are the Sony W Series giveaway winners: -- both have been contacted and prizes sent -- Please e-mail me at (Gmail) Nobel4Lit2 with your addresses, and I'll ship out the units soon! Thanks to everyone who entered.  Stay tuned for another giveaway soon (maybe later this week)! (Note: I ended up putting everyone's retweets starting after the comments when it came to numbering the entries.) Original Post: 3/10/11 Sunday, March 20 2011, the day I will run LA Marathon for the 4th time (and embark on my 8th 26.2 journey overall), will also be very special because it will mark the 5th year since I did my FIRST training run with the intention of running a marathon.  (Check out that life-changing post HERE ). Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/track

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit.
