My First Giveaway!

One thing that got me interested in starting a blog was the wonderful carnival that Bloggy Giveaways hosts every few months. When I started my blog I said, "Next time that Bloggy Giveaways has a Carnival I want to join too!" So here we are. I just found out that the next carnival is happening NOW so that means I am hosting a giveaway as well! How fun? My first giveaway! :)

This giveaway comes with a bit of a story. When I was contemplating whether to stick with my study in nursing or move to studying human ecology, I had a really tough time making a decision. Mostly because I had always thought, I wanted to be a nurse because of my strong interest in healthcare. Even though I later found out that human ecology does focus on health promotion, I still worried that I would not be gaining the type of information that I had a desire to learn. This is where Prevention magazine comes in. Before making my decision on whether to switch or not, I had read Prevention magazine a couple of times. After finally choosing to switch into Human Ecology, I decided I would take up a trial opportunity for Prevention magazine. Once I started reading it, I loved it and decided to keep the subscription. I love the magazine because it focuses it's articles on the latest medical research and has tons of information that I can use and carry with me. Therefore, in a way, it still allows me to continue increasing my knowledge about healthcare without being a nurse. It provides me with a lot of information that adds on to what I have learned in formal education that I will be able to use forever.

So...this brings us to the giveaway. For the giveaway, I am giving away a copy of the DVD, 'Prevention Fitness Systems: Ultimate Walking Workout with Chris Freytag'. This DVD focuses on "3 easy workouts to drop pounds and firm up fast." This DVD is Region 1 (Canada and US) and is 61 minutes in length.

This giveaway ends August 6th at 9:00am CST.
