Chance to Win, Banana Bread & News
I just entered to win a "Private Surf Safari for Two" on the Athleta website and I thought I would let you all know about it also.
- Round-Trip Airfare to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
- Four Nights Accommodation in an Oceanfront Villa
- Daily Private Surf Lessons
- Daily Meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
- Daily Yoga Sessions
- Las Olas Rashguard and Water Bottle
- Athleta Wardrobe Valued at $1500
The only rule is that if you WIN - you have to take me with you as a "thank you" for me telling you about it. Sound good? cool. I trust you. We will both be winners.
I am wondering if anyone out there have ever bought any of their clothes? I haven't due to the expensiveness, but I get the catalog and always wish I had a couple thousand dollars sitting around for me to buy a new wardrobe from there. Seriously - everything looks so comfortable and awesome.
If you are interested, click on the photo above to ready more about the company. I loved what they said and also was wondering if the six pack abs show up when you start wearing the clothes. ;)
Oh yeah and this picture pretty much "had me at hello" - cool clothes/adventure/travel - in Costa Rica? I will take it!My only suggestion for them is to rename the company to Athleata, so they could start selling performance bars, trail mix, and other great sports-minded food products!
Anyways, while I was daydreaming about vacations and fun new clothes, I had a scrumptious banana-banana bread baking in the oven.
I used this simple recipe from Allrecipes.com, but substituted whole wheat pastry flour for the all-purpose, added a little cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and then added walnuts to the top.
It turned out great. Dense, moist, with great banana flavor. I had to try it immediately with a schmear of PB. Some happy news - I got a job! I officially start July 7th and since I wont have vacation for the first few months, Kevin and I are planning a long trip to the beach starting next week through July 4th weekend. I cant wait.
What are your summer vacation plans?

i wish i was rich too... i love athleta! I have bought a bathingsuit coverup and a bathingsuit once- their stuff is really quality! That bikini that you have pictured is adorable and i really want to buy it- im not sure if I wanna dish out the money, yet. but one day when im rich and have a real job (which may be never haha) that is going to be my primary clothing store! haha
mmmm i'm def making that bread tomorrow!!
Love Athleta stuff! Just looking at their catalog is motivation enough to get running--their models are super fit!
Congratulations on the job! I really like Athleata clothes too, but have bought any due to the cost. It seems all the stuff I pick out is always the most expensive. There are a fe blogger who have their stuff and have only said good things about them.
Congratz on landing a job! Your banana bread looks fab!
I am like you, love the clothes, but can't afford them! :(
I don't have much planned by way of summer vacation...I always spend three consecutive weekends in Wildwood in Sept but other than that, nothing special. I am however going to take a week off just to do nothing :)
Congrats on the job!!!
Well I can't take you on the trip b/c I was late signing up but CONGRATS on the job!
What sites do you use to find jobs? I'm looking for a change.
Congrats on the job! Wee :)
We just went on our summer vaca to Bonnaroo!
it seems I may have to check out the sale items to see if I can grab a deal and try out the athleta clothes!
jenny/I used indeed.com the most for my job search. It pulls jobs from a number of places and I found it to be the most all-inclusive search. Plus, it is very easy to filter items out and change your search criteria. good luck!
Yum bread.
Have a great vacation and congrats on the job.
That bread looks so great. Yum.
Thanks for the link. I could use me a vacation!
Congrats on the job!!!
I have a few things from Athleta--three incredibly comfortable and adorable skirts. The key is to keep your eye on their sale/clearance section on the website. I got all of my stuff for really reasonable prices and I absolutely love the clothes.
The recipe looks yummy! Sadly, I missed the contest....
