Easy Canvas Prints Review and Giveaway


easy-canvas-prints

Recently, Olivia from Easy Canvas Prints contacted me and asked if I’d like to try out their canvas prints by making my own. It was perfect timing because my husband and I had been recently talking about getting some canvas prints done. After some thought, I decided to use the picture that my husband took of me a few months after I had started running, which is the banner picture for this site and also for my Slow is the New Fast Facebook page. Honestly, the hardest part of the the whole process was deciding on a picture! Everything else was very simple and easy to understand. I even received it sooner than they had estimated on the shipping times!

You’ve seen the original at the top of my blog and here’s the finished canvas:

This is a picture of my finished canvas hanging in our workout room.

It came with a hanger attached which made it quick and easy to hang on the wall.

Trust Your Intuition Official Book Release


 

I am so excited to officially announce that I am a contributor in a newly published book: Trust Your Intuition 25 “Natural Medicine Confessions” from Influential Women Who Use Healing Remedies For Their Families! It will be released July 17, 2013. There are 24 other women besides me, who have also contributed, and we each share a story of why we chose to use natural alternatives for a health issue or challenge in our homes.

Trust-Your-Intuition

 In this book, there are situations that these women have encountered and they have shared how they have used natural medicine to resolve the problem.

My chapter is about Chia Seeds and how I use these tiny, nutritional powerhouses to fuel my running. I also discuss how I lost weight through running and making healthy changes to my diet.

I am amazed at the powerful other stories in the book. I would like to introduce you to a few of the other contributors as we get ready to launch the book.
