Swiffer Giveaway Winner

I love giveaways because they help me meet some of the lurkers who rarely comment but read daily. The winner of this giveaway is a perfect example! Before yesterday I had never heard of her blog but now I’ve spent the last 30 minutes reading past posts and am excited to discover another NYC blogger!
Congratulations to #22:

The First Rainbow Commute

Spring is making its’ presence known to New Yorkers today. This morning it was 65 when I woke up and the high is supposed to reach 85 just in time for this week’s Lululemon run club time trial workout in Central Park.

I made a spur of the minute decision this morning and slept until 6:45 which meant skipping Dave M’s spin class. My body was screaming at me after two days of 2 a day workouts and that combined with allergies meant that an extra hour and a half of sleep was more important. In honor of this morning’s warm weather I had the pleasure of enjoying my first Rainbow commute of the season. Blog Pictures 2010 103

Yup, I swear by my Rainbows during the Spring and Summer months as my go to commute shoes. I have the Rainbows Double Stack which have extra arch support and I find this makes all the difference in the world. What are your favorite summer commuting shoes?

This morning’s breakfast was quick, easy, and healthy. Bo and I both were craving iced coffee and therefore chose our favorite Starbucks breakfast item as the main event: the spinach, egg white. I’ve reviewed this great breakfast option before and it never disappoints. Here are the nutritional facts:

What makes a perfect blogger business card?


Something basic like the above which evokes a giant yawn and instantly gets thrown away. Or something super creative and expensive like the one below?

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had the great opportunity to enjoy morning runs, lunches, and Foodbuzz events with fellow bloggers and readers. The only issue that is that everyone always asks for a business card. This should be a good sign. They want to find my blog and they want to have a means through which to stay in touch. In an business world that is moving more and more towards email contact information versus actual business cards, I’d somehow overlooked the importance of physical business cards. After a wonderful conversation with both Meghann and Kath, I have decided to order Healthy, Happier Bear business cards from Zazzle this week. I would love your input on what you think I need to include to ensure I have an affective and efficient business card. Please leave your ideas in the comments section. I’m also open to aesthetic ideas as well. Should I feature the bear picture on the business card or keep it simple? Should I echo the brown color themes to keep the equity consistent? In addition, I realize that my web address and blog name don’t match perfectly. My web address is http://www.healthyhappierbear.blogspot.com/ while my blog name is formally A Healthier, Happier Bear. I don’t know when the disconnect started but I think from a marketing and equity standpoint I need to choose one and go with it. Therefore it seems like the web address is the more permanent one.  Thank you in advance for your help! Also, a huge thank you to Meghann who introduced me to Windows Live Writer today. How had I never heard of this before?

In case you missed it this weekend was filled with some wonderful memories:
