Giveaway: Stonyfield and Summer in a Box (CLOSED)

Congrats to comment #135, Amy @ A Little Nosh, whose number was selected by random.org. She’ll be receiving a Summer in a Box!

Thanks to everyone that entered.

Man. Talk about the dog days of summer.

It’s HOT and the weathermen are bandying about names for the current extended heatwave, à la the Snowpocalyse (current contenders include “TempeRapture,” “Saunathon” and “Sweat Ceiling”).

Rather than dwell on the fact that it feels like I’m living inside a pizza oven, and that my pores are producing enough oil to fuel a small car, I’m hosting a little “beat the heat” giveaway thanks to the folks at Stonyfield!

Stonyfield has a new sweet treat: organic frozen yogurt bars. They’re the first dark chocolate dipped frozen yogurt bars on the market and made with certified organic ingredients, meaning they’re produced without toxic pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics or anything else that’s harmful to you, your kids, or the environment.

Plus, each bar only has 170 calories, if you keep track of that sort of thing.

GIVEAWAY:

My feeling is that when it’s so hot all you wanna do is hang in the hammock and sip lemonade all day, you deserve a few indulgences.

This Summer in a Box giveaway includes:

  • toms_maine_stoneyfieldTwo coupons for Stonyfield Frozen Yogurt Bars in two delicious flavors: Gotta Have Vanilla, and After Dark Chocolate.  These bars are made with organic milk and dipped in rich dark chocolate.  They contain four live and active cultures for healthy and tasty goodness.
  • Badger After-Sun Balm, a certified organic treat for sun-parched skin. It’s made with moisturizing plant butters and infused with Blue Tansy and Lavender to smooth skin and leave you feeling calm.
  • Dr. Hauschka Melissa Day Cream, a new 100% natural moisturizer that “calms, balances, and manages shine”: perfect for combination skin.  Formulated with extracts of melissa (lemon balm), it smells like fresh squeezed lemonade.  Extracts of anthyllis, carrot, witch hazel and English daisy soothe, soften and even so shine is controlled while skin is moisturized.
  • Coupon for Uncle Matt’s Organic Lemonade and Juices, perfect for hammock sipping. By buying Uncle Matt’s fresh fruit and juice you’re helping more than 20 small growers that make up their family of farms. That’s one of the reasons they’re proud to be family owned and organically grown.
  • Tom’s of Maine Triple Whammy:
  1. Simply White, the first and only clinically proven natural whitening toothpaste to earn an ADA seal.
  2. A Daily Moisture Body Bar; its ultra-rich formula that contains premium moisturizing olive oil and natural vitamin E.
  3. Beautiful Earth Deodorant is aluminum-free and PG-free. Odor fighting hops and odor trapping zinc salts work to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, and the natural fragrance helps mask BO.

I received a Summer in a Box myself to review (pictured below) and I’ll post my reviews tomorrow. For now, I’ll just say that the box smells freaking delicious.

    Oh man, this sounds like a package I really want to win! We incorporate organic choices in all aspects of our lives from the vegetables we eat from our organic garden to the lotions we put on our faces.

    This “Summer in a Box” seems too good to be true! I think the biggest way I’m incorporating organic into our summer is by finally volunteering at the Red Hook Community Farm in Brooklyn. I’m glad to put another connection to the physical world in our lives and we can buy super local produce from their farmer’s market.

    Also, I’m going to start buying all-natural shampoo, which I’ve done for my son, but not for myself and my husband. I think slowly I’ll get to replacing all our personal care products from toxic and mainstream to organic and natural.

    Wow! I would love this!!! I have been experimenting with recipes to make my own cleaners and laundry soap, trying to grow my own food (if only the weather would cooperate!), and trying to leave a smaller carbon footprint! Everyday is a learning experience for me and my children, and I pass the word of preservation to anyone who will listen 🙂

    Using organic products is important to me all year round but in the summer it is a little easier as I go to the local farmers markets to shop and finding quality and affordable organic vegetables makes dinner choices easier. I also use organics for pest control in the summer-DE is effective and safe for my pets.

    This sounds divine!! My husband and I recently switched over all the products we use to clean (ourselves, our dog and our home) to a much healthier, completely natural product line. The home cleaning products are so good and doing their job, but also have applications for personal use! Amazing stuff.

    Anyway, since I don’t tweet, I only get one entry so I thought I’d make it a good one. Thanks for such a cool giveaway. I’ll look for and follow you on Facebook, too.

    I have been using organic products for years, whenever possible. I don’t want to use cleaning products made with chemicals, that are harmful for people and the environment. My flower and vegetable gardens are organic. I want healthy soil. I will not pollute and damage the Earth with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. At the grocery store, I try to buy organic produce and other products if they are available.

    To me, “organic” means as close as possible to the earth. Of course, to farm, to stay clean and clothed, we have to make changes to the exact “natural” state of things. But, if we do those things “organically,” with as little change as possible, we can live in harmony with the world. As for organic clothing, my commitment for the moment is to use fewer things and own less stuff, including clothing. When I do need something, I try to find already made, gently used, rather than something new.

    To me organic is foods which are not processed. They also have not been grown with any pesticides sprayed to keep away bugs from the plants. We have a garden and never use any pesticides on it or our fruit trees. I am trying to go completely organic as I know it is so much healthier for my family and they are my heart and soul.
