Sam is also very knowledgeable about nutrition and health, and she recently spoke to our MOPS group. I decided to try a product she believes very strongly about, Kyani Sunrise Alaskan Blueberry juice. I admit I've always been a skeptic about these things, but I have begun to notice a difference in my energy level , and my ability to focus mentally, throughout the day. The real test will be when I finish the bottle, and see how I feel when I don't drink it for a few days!
Sam and Stu would like to give one Mom Squad Reader a chance to try Kyani for free. They will be giving away 4 items to four different winners:
- One bottle of Kyani Sunrise juice
- Burt's Bees sampler pack and a Cherokee Cove T-shirt,
- a Cherokee Cove Sweatshirt and handmade walking stick, and
- a jar of homemade granola.
The contest will run through Sunday night, and winners will be announced Monday morning.
