Foodie Swellness: #GrowYourSummer with Growers Pear Cider GIVEAWAY

FullSizeRender (91)

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. The winners have been randomly selected — scroll down to see if you’ve won!

With summer officially here (hooray!), I’m regularly stocking up on bevvies for hot nights and weekend BBQs.

One of my favourite new ways to cool off: sipping the new Growers Pear Cider. It’s juicy and refreshing, and let’s get real: some days you don’t want to fuss with a shaker to make a cocktail (or am I the only lazy one when it comes to making drinks!?. Popping open a can of Growers Pear gives you more time to laze around on the dock and laugh with your friends.

And because I want you to be able to get in on this delicious Growers Pear action, too, I’ve partnered with them to hold a giveaway (it’s open only to Ontario residents, sorry, non-Ontarians!). The summer essentials prize is valued at $100 and includes a $50 prepaid Mastercard giftcard, sunglasses, a trucker hat, a bottle opener and more, and I’ve got a total of three of these prize packs to give away.

Remember, this giveaway is open to Ontario residents, and you can enter once in each of the four entry methods:

  1. Email: Write me at healthandswellness@gmail.com with your name and mailing address (it just makes it quicker for us to send you the prize  if you provide me with your address off the bat). Please put “Growers Pear” in the email’s subject line.
  2. Twitter: Follow me @healthswellness and @growerscider on Twitter, and then tweet:

The three winners will be chosen at random. If I cannot reach the winner within five days, another winner will be selected.

Foodie Swellness: Boodles Gin

image

So I don’t normally care to break out my blender and shaker when it comes to enjoying a cocktail at home. But I received a very sophisticated looking bottle of Boodles Gin and one of the cocktail recipes sounded so fruity and tropical that I gave it a shot.

Gin & Gomme

2 oz Boodles Gin

3/4 oz pineapple juice

1/2 oz mango puree (blended chopped mango)

3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

Shake all ingredients thoroughly. Strain into a large rocks glass with ice. Top with a splash of soda and garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro.

The cocktail was good but tbh I’ll probably only make it again if I have friends over. Too much fuss for making one cocktail for me. I’ll likely enjoy the Boodles simply in a G&T, which is, in fact, how they recommend drinking it (more simply, that is, but of course Boodle Gin works well if you want to get your mixology on!).

By the way, you can also win a private butler for a week from Boodles Gin. It’s open to Ontario, Alberta and B.C. residents, and you can enter here!

Healthy Swellness: Win a trip for 2 to Jamaica from Nasacort Allergy 24HR!

Jamaica Sandals 1

As much as we all can’t wait for spring to arrive each year, with it, for some of us, comes nasal allergy symptoms. And I speak from personal experience. In fact, I’m sniffling right now. While my symptoms are pretty minor this season, in the past I’ve wanted to lock myself in a bubble boy-like chamber straight through to the middle of summer. The sneezing, runny nose and congestion becomes all consuming and the only thing you want is relief. 

And chances are you feel my pain: nearly one-quarter of Canucks suffer from allergy rhinitis. It all goes beyond an itchy or runny nose and congestion, though. Consider how your allergies impact your life. Research shows that it could zap you of energy, and even contribute to memory loss (both of which will affect your work and social life), to name just a few ways it can rule your quality of life.

One effective way to get relief and return to living your best life? Nasacort Allergy 24HR. As its name suggests, it works for 24 hours at relieving you of allergy symptoms. It’s safe to use daily (as it is non-addictive and is not drowsy). It’s also available without a prescription so relief could be yours easily.

Regardless of if you suffer from nasal allergies or not, Nasacort wants to help one lucky winner find relief and help them keep up with their lifestyle. Not in the form of a lifetime supply of Nasacort but consider it a way to a much sunnier outlook: they are giving away a trip for two to Jamaica to Sandals Negril including flights and accommodation. Having been to Jamaica twice, I can attest to the fact that some time here will help relieve you in many ways.

If you’re set to pump up your allergy relief and are ready to enter the Nasacort giveaway, click on over to the Nasacort site to enter to win now! This spring don’t let allergies get the best of you, and what better way to add relief to your life than a Jamaican getaway provided by Nasacort Allergy 24H. Enter right now before you forget to!
