It’s An Albion Fit Giveaway!

May 10, 2013 | 116 Comments

I may have mentioned that I like to run.

I run as frequently, as far, and as fast as my body and my schedule will allow, all in the name of mac n’ cheese, pizza, and cake. Ohhhh the cake.

The truth is that I enjoy running – it’s the one time of day that I can decompress, filter my thoughts, and clear the cobwebs. And as with anything else, having the proper equipment on hand only makes things more fun.

Which is why I was so delighted to come across Albion Fit.

Albion Fit deals in women’s fitness, swimwear, and workout clothing, and, man, do they do it right. I was lucky enough to take their Mantra Yoga Pant and Love Racer tank for a spin; the pants have a lovely fold-down waist, notched hems, and a fabulous fit. I love them. But let me tell you about the tank.

It’s A Smitten Giveaway!

December 19, 2012 | 63 Comments

If the holidays are sneaky, the New Year is super double sneaky.

I always feel like I’m just starting to enjoy September, and before I know it I’m wrestling with reindeer-printed wrapping paper.

And then… and then people are asking me about resolutions while I’m still writing 2009 on my checks (Resolution #1: welcome yourself to the 21st century and stop paying with checks).

I genuinely don’t know what it is, but the clock just seems to speed up sometime during the last quarter of the year.

And when time becomes such a valuable commodity, I find myself reaching more and more for cookbooks that can make the meal planning process just a little easier.

Cookbooks like this one.

Sumptuous photography? Check.
Accessible recipes? Check.
Deliciously comforting dishes? Check. Check. Checkkkkkkkkk.

And I want you to have a chance to win a copy for your very own cookshelf!

Simply enter your name and email address or login via Facebook below, click on the big ‘+1′ buttons, and follow the instructions listed to enter to win – you can enter up to 20 times! You do not need to have a Facebook account to enter. Questions about this giveaway? Feel free to message me at meagan (at) scarlettabakes (dot) com.

While you’re entering to win, I’ll be shopping for supper at the market. I’ll leave my checkbook at home and I certainly will not fight with the cashier about the fact that it’s no longer 2009…

Oh, if wishing only made it so. Bring it, 2013.
