What Brings You Joy & Win $1000

SOYJOY is bringing joy to BlogHer next week with exciting new flavors. They are lighter, moister and have an enhanced taste – making them more joyful than ever. And, as always, SOYJOY is completely free of trans fats, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors and flavors, preservatives, and chemical additives. By September, SOYJOY’s current flavors – Blueberry, Strawberry, Apple Walnut, Berry and Mango Coconut – will hit stores nationwide in their lighter and fruitier forms. And, by October, the new lighter, moister Banana SOYJOY will be available nationwide.

Why I am so excited about this?

Because to celebrate these new flavors and SOYJOY‘s presence at BlogHer, I have teamed up with them to host a contest on JOY beginning today and running through August 20. The winner, judged on creativity and  originality will win a ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR American Express Gift Check to spend on anything their heart desires.(Yes, my friends in Canada and abroad, you can win too!) A weekend vacation, a shopping spree, a new laptop… anything. Do I have your attention now? I thought so.

How do you enter?

Write a NEW blog post on what brings you joy. Posts can be as simple as photographs or elaborate stories. They may be humorous or serious or thought provoking. However you want to do this is fine by me. And, no, you don’t have to be attending BlogHer. The only requirement is the end of the post must contain the line “This post is part of SOYJOY‘s What brings you joy contest. Learn more here.(Posts without this line will be deleted.)

Easy, huh?

Yes. No following us on a million different social media sites or liking them or me or whatever. Just a post on something that brings you joy. A post that you could easily write without this contest. (Of course, you can promote the contest because you love me. I certainly won’t stop you from doing that!)

What next?

Write your post and link it up below with the linky thing. Leave a comment letting me know you’ve entered. The winner will be announced on August 31.

More on SOYJOY and BlogHer…

SOYJOY will be sponsoring a booth (#2010) this year which will feature Nutrition Consulting with Cynthia Sass, nationally known nutrition expert and co-author of Flat Belly Diet and Jackie Newgent, RD, CDN, author of award winning Big Green Cookbook. There will also be daily giveaways for $100 Amazon gift cards and a post conference brunch on Sunday, August 8 (For more information and to RSVP click here.) Be sure to stop by– they’re just all-around awesome.

Good Luck!

{Edited to add: The winner of the $1000 check you ask? Sunday from Extreme Parentood. Read her post and you’ll understand why she won, or at least be a tad less pissed that you didn’t. Congrats, Sunday!!}

In true Fadra fashion, I squeaked in my entry with 5 minutes to spare. Great reason to stop and give pause. P.S. I attended the SOYJOY brunch and it was fab in every way.

For some reason I had it in my head that I had until the 31 to add my link! That’s what I get for procrastinating! :-(
Oh well! They’re all great posts!
