did anyone else love writing the date today? 11/10/9. i am such a numbers lover!

i have been working a mile a minute at my office for the past two days.  playing catch up is rough!  needless to say, i am behind on blogs and behind on replies and behind on life in general! sorry!

i still have one more recap post lined up of the foodbuzz festival but i have not had time to write it.  if you haven’t had the chance to check out my previous festival recaps, round one is here and round two is here!

to keep you guys entertained while i work my life away (i am still at the office.. will be until about 7 tonight..sigh) i thought i would host a great giveaway!

if you have been reading my blog for awhile then you know my #1 brand of greek yogurt is oikos made by stonyfield.  not only is their greek yogurt organic.. it is also the best tasting!  i am a plain yogurt eater and so taste is very important to me.  it is hard to get a perfect balance of tangy and tart, but oikos knows what’s up when it comes to incredible greek yogurt and somehow has found that perfect balance.

oikos is hosting a blogger sweepstakes right now~ only those who have a blog may enter.  if you DO have a blog and are interested in entering the sweepstakes, you can check the details out here.  i will be preparing my entry and posting it sometime this month!  the winner will receive a yoga retreat at the kripalu center for yoga & health!

but since i have a lot of readers who *don’t* have a blog of their own and this sweepstakes is for bloggers only, i wouldn’t want you all to miss out on the oikos fun!  the company has generously offered a glorious relaxation prize pack for one of my lucky readers!

My favorite way to rewind and relax is being outdoors, like in the woods or at the beach. When I can’t be outdoors, I like sitting in my chair and reading.

mom November 10, 2009 at 6:09 pm

whoa, I WANT this prize!!! Ok, I am a total nerd, but I love my temper-pedic mattress and the highlight of my relaxation and restfulness is when I lie down on that little piece of heaven at the end of the day, ahhhhhhh, can’t wait!!

I also love a nice warm sunny day at the beach………

Allison (Eat Clean Live Green) November 10, 2009 at 6:09 pm

I like to relax by reading something funny, like the Shopaholic books :)

Allison (Eat Clean Live Green) November 10, 2009 at 6:11 pm

I’m not sure if you want another comment for tweeting or not, but I did :) http://twitter.com/EatCleanLiveGrn/status/5605561705

Leighanne November 10, 2009 at 6:19 pm

My favourite way to relax after a long, stressful day is to come home and read all my favourite blogs with a cup of tea…. I just added yours to my list a few weeks ago and I’m so happy I stumbled upon meals & moves!!!

busylittlelexi November 10, 2009 at 6:30 pm

I love to watch a funny tv show with my bf like Arrested Development…hilarious. I need lots of unwinding these days!

Jocelyn November 10, 2009 at 6:30 pm

yay..great giveaway :)

My favorite way to relax after a long day!? WORK IT OUT…seriously…working out relaxes me. And then a long hot bath using lush products..lush is the best, mostly vegan products too :)

busylittlelexi November 10, 2009 at 6:31 pm

I tweeted (@ramblinglexi)

Jocelyn November 10, 2009 at 6:33 pm

I am following you (have for long time lady!) annnnd I tweeted this :) @josseatsfresh

Abby (Nibble, Nourish, Run) November 10, 2009 at 6:52 pm

Oh Oikos – my fave! The best way for me to relax is to read or watch some very terrible made for tv movie…!

Abby (Nibble, Nourish, Run) November 10, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Kristin November 10, 2009 at 6:55 pm

loooove to work out after a long day – helps me relax and unwind when i get home! and WINE!!! :)

Ali November 10, 2009 at 6:56 pm

Favorite way to unwind?? Teaching a hard core boot camp class at the gym I work at!!! :)

Lanie November 10, 2009 at 6:56 pm

My favorite way to unwind is take a hot shower, get in some sweat pants, and snuggle.

Amanda (Two Boos who Eat) November 10, 2009 at 6:58 pm

my favorite way to unwind and relax is to read blogs and to cook. :)

jenngirl November 10, 2009 at 6:59 pm

Oikos is my favorite greek yogurt too!! Plain rocks :)

Relaxation= a long, warm soak in the bathtub…it’s become my favorite way to unwind lately.

Kate November 10, 2009 at 7:01 pm

My favorite way to relax is to curl up in bed with a trashy magazine!

Kate November 10, 2009 at 7:02 pm

I don’t have a blog or twitter, but I follow you on my google reader!

The Foodie Diaries November 10, 2009 at 7:13 pm

enjoying beautiful weather relaxes me like nothing else. what to do, what to do now that it’s winter haha

ps i saw you tweet that about the date–and then i started to find the joy in writing 11-10-09

Abby November 10, 2009 at 7:16 pm

I will only eat Plain Greek yogurt and the Oikos people are the nicest ever, so great giveaway :)

How do I relax? Hard drugs. Kidding. When it’s warm, sitting outside in nature with the sun and quiet totally fixes anything for a few minutes. Now? I do love writing just for me (even if I delete it), wandering a bookstore and baking.

Morgan November 10, 2009 at 7:18 pm

A glass of wine and playtime with the puppy are the perfect way to unwind!

Morgan November 10, 2009 at 7:19 pm

I tweeted (@liveloveeatplay)! BTW, I love number patterns too!

caitlinarndt November 10, 2009 at 7:28 pm

Cooking is just about always my go to for relaxation. This would explain why so many new recipes have been tried in the past week… (4 papers=4 new and different baked goods… coincidence, I think not.)

Danielle C. November 10, 2009 at 7:32 pm

My most favorite way to relax is with a good book laying on the beach in Maui. :)

Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) November 10, 2009 at 7:36 pm

I tweeted it

Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) November 10, 2009 at 7:37 pm

And I want to win! My fave easy R & R thing is a great cup of coffee, 30 mins alone (no kiddo at my heels) and blog surfin. Heaven on earth keeping up with my girls.

And that Kripalu mention you gave??!! Holy smokes girl, I am off to read that!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the tip off!

fittingbackin November 10, 2009 at 7:40 pm

I haven’t tried that yogurt – i’ve heard good things though!

Tiffany S. November 10, 2009 at 7:57 pm

Yes, I’ll admit I loved writing the date today…and, hello, how much fun is tomorrow gonna be? 11/11?
(Shout out to my Marine husband – Happy Veterans’ Day to all those who served)

What was the question? Oh yeah, I love long baths and meditating in my sauna. A great neck and shoulder massage also does it for me every time.

Hmmm, relaxation would be great right now….

Kristin (Kristin's Nibbles) November 10, 2009 at 7:58 pm

YOGA = best way to relax!!

Bubble baths are nice too =)

Andrea November 10, 2009 at 7:58 pm

Relaxation for me is baking…it helps me unwind and relieve stress!

thehotdogbattle November 10, 2009 at 8:03 pm

My favorite way to unwind is a nap in the sun with my dog Mirta!

Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) November 10, 2009 at 8:04 pm

Aww you poor thing. Re-entry sucks eggs.

I love a good deep massage. either that or In Touch magazine and a kitty on my lap. The latter is cheaper :-)

Emily November 10, 2009 at 8:07 pm

Diet coke with a straw makes me happier than it probably should!

Lauren Christine November 10, 2009 at 8:12 pm

my favorite way to unwind is to cook a new recipe i’ve never tried before. having to give my full attention over to following the recipe helps get my mind off of whatever caused the need to “unwind”.

thanks for the giveaway!

april November 10, 2009 at 8:18 pm

Epsom salt baths all the way!!

traynharder23 November 10, 2009 at 8:22 pm

running.

fitlizzio November 10, 2009 at 8:32 pm

i like to relax on top of a mountain after a grueling hike to the top :)

Jen November 10, 2009 at 8:46 pm

Go for a swim! Perferably in a lake!

Diana November 10, 2009 at 8:58 pm

I like going to the gym to relax, although napping always helps, too! I am a big fan of naps!

Hallie November 10, 2009 at 9:29 pm

My favorite way to relax? Sleeping! Or watching cheesy TV :-)

Andrea@WellnessNotes November 10, 2009 at 9:38 pm

To relax I love going into the steam room at my gym for 10 minutes….

danica November 10, 2009 at 9:47 pm

Ok – seriously – great minds think alike. I just posted my yogurt giveaway tonight too :D

My FAVORITE way to relax if paying for it is wiht a massage, facial and/or pedicure. Money free is with a good book in a cozy place.

danica November 10, 2009 at 9:48 pm

Tweeted and posted on Facebook to help you out :)

marisa November 10, 2009 at 10:01 pm

leianna November 10, 2009 at 10:56 pm
