Give Day 15: Give Holiday Travel Tips

Know someone who is travelling this holiday season? Offer to help them pack. 

This used to be one my least favorite tasks and I must do it often. In fact, very soon my family and I will be heading to Mexico for our family vacation. I know my girls won't do their packing until 5 minutes before we leave so in hopes to make sure things run smoothly, I am offering to help them pack the day before we depart. 


I plan to let them in on some very helpful travel advice that I learned from a friend of mine,  Sandra Lepholtz (she's also a very gifted Reiki Master). She recommends packing your suitcase like a present. Place shoes on the bottom. Then lay your clothes from the center of the suitcase over the sides. Fill the middle with intimates. Then fold the clothes over. You're set! 


Fingers crossed my girls will follow suit...

Give Day 14: Give Technology (and Win)

If you are a high-tech wizard offer to teach someone low-tech how to operate their toys. I am of low-tech variety and love when my daughters teach me new tricks. And to keep that tech-is-the-new-cool vibe I'll be giving away 3 Apple iTunes gift cards to the first 3 people to comment with their tech tips. You could use this gift to download some of our readers favorite workout songs that they shared with us on Gives: Day 11.

Speaking of low-tech and tips, my husband Robert is on twitter now! Send your twitter tips and follow him at @BobKennedyPubs.

Look forward to a new and improved tee to be released in January. 

Who doesn't love a good workout? And enjoying it with friends makes it even better.

Today's GIVE is both healthful and helpful... Offer to take a friend to the gym! You can be their workout partner or their trainer so they can learn firsthand how to do tricky moves like kneeling cable kickbacks. You can even try out Jennifer Nicole Lee's 20 minute Glutes that Salute Workout that she shared with us on the second day of Giving!

And it's best to look good in the gym so why not give your friend your favorite Tosca T-shirt . It will provide motivation and comfort for the best workout yet.

I'll be giving away 3 Tosca T-shirts to the first 3 people who comment on this post below telling us about their favorite workout buddy. Check back tomorrow to see if you have won. I'll also announce all of the winners from Week 2!

Were you a winner from Week 1? Check here.

Give Day 12: Give Pancakes!

Mmmmm! Oatmeal pancakes are the perfect alternative to the typical syrupy sweet mess that comes in a box. The best part is, oatmeal pancakes are absolutely delicious, nutritious and portable. In fact, they make for perfect holiday gifts.

Put the dry ingredients of the recipe in a Mason jar. You can decorate with a festive bow and give to friends for a healthy breakfast option. Don't forget to include the recipe, like my Power Oatmeal Pancakes.

Consumable gifts like this are cheap and easy and are always appreciated by the recipient. I will definitely be doing this for my friends this holiday season.

P.S. Catch me on Martha Stewart Radio today for Morning Living with Brian and Betsy where I'll be sharing more clean holiday tips.

Give Day 11: Give Music

I love new music. It's the key to an excellent workout. But music is even better when you share it with others...

Load someone's iPod with fun workout tunes. I love when my daughters do this for me.

Here are some of my favorite workout songs right now...

Beyonce - Girls

Nicki Minaj - Super Bass

Britney Spears - Till The World Ends

Maroon 5/Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger

Lady Gaga - Marry The Night

What are yours? Share with us and we'll have an incredible music collection to keep us going right through the New Year!

Give Day 10: Give a Shovel

Here's my dog, Davidson, looking awfully festive. Can you walk someone's dog today? 

Well, it's that time of year! The snow is starting to fall, and although it has been unseasonably warm up here in Ontario, I know the fluffy white stuff is on the horizon!

While it is beautiful, snow can be awfully hard to handle.

Today I'd like to encourage you to shovel the driveway and clear the sidewalk for someone who can't.

If snow, isn't an issue in your area (lucky you), how about tending to the weeds in someone's garden or mowing the lawn or walking the dog?

There are so many ways to help out  neighbor, family member, friend, or even total stranger in need. What will you do to give back today?
