"Balance Your Life" Sweepstakes (POST 999!)

gaiamlogo.gifHey Workerettes - who needs a get-away?  Yep, I'm right there with you.  That's why I just had to pass along the skinny on the Balance Your Life Sweepstakes, sponsored by Unilever. 

The grand prize is a 7-night stay at Maya Tulum Retreat and Resort in Mexico.  (Woohoo!  If you win, you'll find me in your biggest bag!)  There are also 50 daily prizes of a Yoga Essentials Kit from Gaiam, which includes a Rodney Yee DVD, a yoga mat, and other accessories.  

Get on over to the Unilever website right away to enter.  The sweepstakes closes at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on February 1st!  Be sure to let me know if you win; we have Rodney Yee's Family Yoga DVD and really enjoy it a great deal.

Pssssst - speaking of contests and sweepstakes, this is post #999!  Get over to the Workerette contest entry post and get your comment in NOW to enter!
