Grand Finale Giveaway with Mala Imports!!

In celebration of all things October (Vegetarian Awareness Month, Halloween, my birthday, and the anniversary to my dream biz at www.onlyintention.com) I'm doing a giveaway each week—SOOOO EXCITING! This week is the big ole finale to October—so we're going all out!

  • One year free of Earth Balance (12 coupons good at any of your local shops): I don't know about you, but this is amazing... short of the buttery spread I depend on daily, I would get the new culinary spreads or try the nut butters I've been meaning to pick up.
  • A copy of Vegucated on DVD: Part sociological experiment and part adventure comedy, the award-winning documentary Vegucated follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers from different backgrounds who, for six weeks, adopt a vegan diet and a whole new way of thinking about food. 
  • A CD of Awakening by interprana: The title is appropriate, as this (mostly) instrumental CD opens you up via a beautiful soundtrack for your yoga practice. Sounds of nature play with electronica on multiple tracks, like Om Waves orAjna. While Space Dream and Higher Self connect you on a different level.
  • And the cherry on top? A beautiful mala from Mala Imports and a candle from SoyVeda!!!
From Mala Imports
We love wearing our rudraksha bead jewelry for so many reasons. 
We love that it's for those seeking a calmer mind, body, and spirit. 
And that it promotes peace and well being.
We enjoy the connection we have with the gemstones, and watching others find their perfect match. 
Whether it's a need for strength (lava) or a desire to open your heart to love (rose quartz). 
We appreciate that they are handmade by professional mala makers in Bali. 
And that they drill the beads in the same direction in which they grow on the trees, which is also how they're strung. 
It's an important aspect as it's believed to keep the prana—the energy—in each bead. 
And we respect the century-long history of rudraksha malas being worn by Hindus and Buddhists in religious practices. 
One of the best parts—we feel great knowing our jewelry is sustainably harvested, fairly traded, and ethically produced. And that buying a Mala helps those in need. 


From SoyVeda
100% soy wax candles made from the finest organic and naturally derived ingredients—our candles are hand-poured in the USA, in a certified eco-friendly facility. The ayurvedic candles are available in 6 different fragrances based on ayurvedic healing recipes. Products are sold in beautiful reusable storage tins. Go to their site to find out your dosha and read about their shared love of yoga. 

How do you not love their descriptions? Be sure to stay tuned, as I'm excited to review Mala Imports' jewelry & a SoyVeda Candle from my own personal experience in my next posts. I'll post about it on facebook and twitter too.
