This Friday I’m in Melbourne and working on an exciting project with my mate Marija…details will come! In the interim…I’m giving away

25 x Vanessa Megan hand wash & cream packs valued at $30.00 

I recently met Vanessa through a mutual friend in Byron. She’s a woman passionate about providing natural and organic skin care products, hence the creation of her eco-friendly, ethical company Vanessa Megan.

Their products are all high quality; with no chemicals, mineral oils, parabens, PEG’s, artificial preservatives, colours or fragrances. I am a big fan.

This week the Vanessa Megan team are giving away their pumice hand wash, along with their peruvian flower hand cream.

To be in the running for this giveaway, simply order your hand cream pack here. Type in the code VanessaMeganSkincare, and the first twenty five customers will be able to order for no cost, and no postage cost.

First in best dressed.

*this giveaway is only available to readers within Australia.

It’s Friday. It’s summer. Everyone seems to be on some sort of healthy switch-about. So a fitting giveaway! This week I’m giving away…

10 copies of ‘Supercharged Food’

Regular readers will have caught previous posts about Lee Holmes‘ cooking. Lee has an autoimmune disease and has healed herself through diet and her new book – Supercharged Food – includes 90 recipes that don’t contain gluten, wheat, sugar, yeast or dairy. Seriously, this cookbook is the most perfect little package of whole food eating ideas. Honestly, as sound as it comes. Which is why I put my name to a blurb of endorsement on the cover.

Anyway, a lot of you got as frothy over it as I did, so Lee and the good folk at Murdoch Books have generously offered to give away some copies to regular readers here.

To be in the running for a copy of the book, you’ll simply need to do the following:

* Go to my new! I Quit Sugar Facebook page (“like” it) and then share a sugarfree eating tip you’ve been playing with. Or a factoid you’ve come across. No rush: just like ‘n’ post by Friday 13 January.

* We will randomly select ten people, and a copy of Supercharged Food will be on it’s way to you.

* For anyone too impatient to wait: Lee’s book is available from her website. Lee is a regular columnist for Wellbeing magazine, and a writer for Miranda Kerr’s Kora Organics blog. Check out her website and blog.

But to that ice cream recipe…

It’s another Friday summer giveaway, and this week, I’m giving away

5  x one-year subscriptions to Clean Eating magazine

Simply buy your copy of my ‘I Quit Sugar’ ebook before 5pm AEST on Monday 28th November, and you could win one of these five subscriptions.

Clean Eating is a shiny new magazine geared at foodies like me: into REAL ingredients, simple recipes, whole foods (including the fat), minimal sugar…etc, etc. I’m actually the editor-at-large…as a fairly relevant aside.

Buy a copy of the ebook (if you’ve already bought one, buy for a friend and I’m sure they’ll share the magazine with you!) and post below to confirm that you’re ready to be included in the draw.

Happy Friday. Enjoy the last weekend of spring! x

Over the summer I’m going to do a number of Friday giveaways. So stay tuned! Last giveaway, Lisa Corduff won free tuition with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition course in NYC. (Sorry to everyone else who was keen to win…for those of you still thinking of doing the course, if you enrol between now and November 24, you get an ipad2!). This week, I’m giving away

10 double passes to We Need To Talk About Kevin. 

Simply subscribe to my newsletter before Monday 5pm AEST.

We Need To Talk About Kevin is screening in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, starting from the 17th November and the 10 double passes will be valid for all these locations.

I’ll announce the winners on Monday, and send your tickets next week.

The film is based on the book by Lionel Shriver and stars Tilda Swinton, which is enough for me! It’s the story of a Mum coming to terms with the murders her son commits. Every single review I’ve read of the film gives it a full-star rating. It was a critics’ and audience favourite at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and…did I mention is star’s Tilda Swinton? Shriver describes the adaption as “stunning”.

And happy 11.11.11 !!

Check out more here and some reviews here. Here’s a wee preview….

I asked last week what you thought of giveaways. I loved the feedback – thank you for taking the time to be clear and honest with me about it. It’s a tricky issue. And thank you for the suggestion to tie giveaways in with giving to those in more need than those of us reading this site.

Since I have no need for the pink diamond necklace Oprah’s team sent recently (the one valued at $450 and handed out during her visit), I thought I’d give it away. Sort of.

Kathleen from Brisbane has a snazzy fold up Brompton which fits under her desk.

She says “I haven’t figured out the clothes thing. I can keep my top cool, but am I the only one who ends up with a sweaty bum?” Um, nope.

Kathleen, please email us at info@sarahwilson.com.au with your contact details, and one of Cyclestyle‘s gorgeous bike baskets will be on it’s merry way to you shortly!

Enjoy x
