Hold your pretty little horses, Health & Swellness readers, because have I got an exciting giveaway for you!
As you may or may not know, I’m an Aveeno Active Naturals Ambassador (remember that time I got to visit the Big Apple to discover what Aveeno hair products from the line would work best for me from celeb stylist Patrick Melville?).
Aveeno also does bodycare, obvi (that’s what most of us know and love it for, right?). And with the c-c-cold weather this winter, I’ve been battling dry, itchy skin with an arsenal of products (but my go-to is Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream – take that, Canadian winter!).
And now, you have a chance to try out Aveeno skin andbodycare products, too! For five days starting today, I’ll be giving away two prizes DAILY (for a total of 10 prizes) to winners who will be chosen randomly. The prize? Well, I’m pretty sure this is the best prize I’ve ever given away:
• A basket of Aveeno bodycare products including Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion, Aveeno Hydrating Body Wash, Aveeno Smoothing Body Wash and the Aveeno Skin Relief line
• Plus a WaySpa giftcard worth $150
(Total prize value: more than $200. And I have a total of 10 prizes to give away.)

I shampoo daily. That’s right. Sometimes even twice daily. And I don’t always go to the same colourist or stylist. I cheat. Ok, not often, but I do.
I’m such a rebel.

A week and a half ago I was in New York as an Aveeno Active Naturals Ambassador — didja know I’m an ambassador with the brand? Yup! So far I’ve been testing out a lot of their products (one hand lotion, too fragrant for me, but I am a fan of their sulphate-free shampoo!). While on the topic of their shampoo, did you know Aveeno has haircare products? I know many people think of them for skincare, but they have a wide range of haircare, too, from its Living Colour Collection to Dandruff Control products.
To find out what line is best suited for my hair, I got to meet with Patrick Melville in NYC. He’s done Nicole Richie’s hair, along with Victoria’s Secrets models and Petra Nemcova. (Drat, I totally should’ve asked him for Victoria’s Secret Angel hair 
After having a look at my hair (the texture is very fine and there’s not much of it), Melville recommended the Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Nourishing Volumize Shampoo and Conditioner for me. They contain lightweight conditioners so that fine hair can still have great body. Turns out the dry, tangly ends of my hair were a giveaway that I run (and thus shampoo my hair very often) and the Volumize products contain both the proprietary Nourishing Wheat Complex and blue lotus flower, so this helps replenish moisture.
He also suggested I use some of Aveeno Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo to add some texture to my hair. We lopped off about two inches from my ends and tidied up my bangs, which I’d had trimmed (accidentally shorter than usual…) a few days earlier. (For the blowout, he used a Mason Pearson brush — hello, soft, shiny hair! How have I lived this long without trying one?!) And, voila, my new ‘do:
That night, we ambassadors were lucky to snap up a reservation at ABC Kitchen for dinner, but I’ll save that for a Foodie Swellness post.
