[Contest] The Super Bowl isn’t the only big “Bowl” on Sunday – there’s also Puppy Bowl VIII on Animal Planet. It’s no secret dogs LOVE football (at least my 23lb teacup Chihuahua, Denali does, pictured here trying to fit in an actual teacup AND proving to the world not all dogs hate the Philadelphia Eagles!), so now YOUR DOG can win something too.
One lucky pooch will win an awesome prize pack from Natural Pawz ($50 value).
Natural Pawz is not your typical pet store, and lets hope the Broncos vs Seahawks matchup isn’t your typical football game.
[Natural Pawz is located all throughout Houston, but they have been nice enough to extend this contest outside of Houston and will ship to the winner!]
Again, here is the link to the contest on the FB page, where you must enter. If you don’t have FB, you can leave a comment on this post telling us who your dog roots for!

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m plain pooped with all the running around I’m always doing. In just a few weeks, I’ve flown back and forth from the West Coast to the East Coast three times, continued training for the Philly marathon, had kidney surgery and started filming my new sports TV show here in Houston, all while house-hunting.
If the jet lag and time zone changes weren’t enough to zap my energy, I don’t know what is. Add everything else into that mix and I’m downright doomed. Aside from eating a healthy diet and drinking lots of water and taking vitamins, I was looking for a little more edge…
Then I ran across ENERGYbits® on Twitter. They offered me a sample, hoping to get some feedback and share with my readers my true and honest thoughts (because y’all know I never hold back). So here goes…
When I first got my tin of ENERGYbits, I was a bit taken back. The average “dose” is ~30 of the mini tabs – granted they are small, but it was rather daunting at first. I have to swallow 30 of these tiny green algae pills? I could spend this time working out instead of doing this, was my first thought. I emailed my contact and she said many of their customers get creative with their bits (like most people do with supplements, etc). She recommended mixing them into yogurt pre-workout or adding them to a smoothie. It was pretty much the equivalent of eating a handful of raisins or nuts and the benefits once getting them into your belly – AMAZE.
Got a case of the Mondays?
Here are a ton of ideas from their Pinterest boards on how to eat them or mix them in new ways. I wish I had seen this first, but since I’ll be ordering more, that’s good too.
I won’t sit here and say it made me run faster or jump higher than I ever have before, but it definitely perked up my energy levels without leaving me that crashing feeling of death just a few hours later.
And if you’re wondering if these are safe and legal, rest assured, they are. I wouldn’t be posting here if they weren’t or if I didn’t like them. Also, there are a ton of athletes from MLB, NHL, Olympics and many more that are ambassadors for the brand and they love them. Check out all their elite athletes they currently work with. (Y’all know I have an awkward obsession with Brandon Prust from the Montreal Canadiens, and you guessed it, he’s one of their ambassador athletes!)
When it comes to health benefits, there are quite a few listed on their website from beauty, health, longevity, detox and more. Here are just a few of the athletic/health benefits listed, which is most important for me right now.
By the numbers: To energize your workout naturally, the bits are 100% natural organic green algae and only contain ONE calorie ingredient. They have 64% protein and 40 vitamins, antioxidants and nitric oxide. They are also 100% NON GMO, and contain no sugar, no chemicals, no caffeine, no gluten, no soy, no additives of any kind. They are 100% RAW, kinda like The Blonde Side :)
So if you have a case of the Mondays, enter this quick contest and maybe you can try ENERGYbits® for yourself. One lucky winner will receive a prize gift-pack (mini-tin) of bits, which has 75 tabs (2.5 servings of 30 tabs).
The t-shirt/tank you see to your left is up for grabs for any of you, starting today, running through tomorrow. I know The Blonde Side is mostly based in Houston, but we have fans and readers of teams all over the US, and that definitely includes the great city of New York!
If anyone can give the Knicks hope, it’s surely the 6-time NBA All-Star and NCAA champion, Mr. Melo.
2. LIKE Above Penn on FB and leave them a comment using #MeloHope, no later than Tuesday, August 20th 5pm EST. (If you’re NOT on FB, you can enter the contest by leaving a comment on this blog post also.)
* Of course if you know other Knicks or Melo fans, be sure to share this contest with them and let them enter too. We all gotta rep our teams, no matter where we live in the country or how bad they may currently be (I’m an Eagles fan, so I’m allowed to say this). Also, it’s always super awesome to support those local small businesses.
If you didn’t win (or just can’t wait to check out Above Penn on your own), be sure to use discount code BLONDE at checkout for 10% off orders and share with out Knicks fans!
The best part about being a travel and sports writer is that I get to visit some awesome cities. Most of the time these are big cities like San Francisco that have a plethora of professional sporting teams, but other times, it means I get to take off to a cute little town and just relax and take in the travel aspect of it all.
I was lucky enough to spend the last month in Tahoe, and during my stay, I stumbled into the town of Truckee. For emphasis, I’ll have you know Truckee is now in my top four favorite cities in the US (also on this list are Austin, TX, Sausalito, CA, Aspen, CO).
Anyways, my favorite purchase during this trip was my bigtruck hat I wore hiking and biking and boating and beaching, and all that other fun stuff you do in Tahoe.
Little did I know how much I would love my hat and how many compliments I’d get on it, so now you’re the lucky one.
Want to win this hat? It’s simple, just LIKE bigtruck on FB and leave them a comment with #blondeslovebigtruck. If you want to get a little more in-depth, tell us your favorite city in the US and why. Maybe I’ll add it to my upcoming adventures. It’s that simple.
2. Comment on the COMPETE contest photo by telling us in a few words, what COMPETE EVERY DAY means to you and how it’s helping you face your biggest competition right now? It doesn’t have to be about sports or fitness, but we compete every day whether we realize it or not. We want to hear from you.
That’s it. Best of luck to you, in the contest and in your every day competition. Oh, and the awesome tank/tee comes in a variety of colors, sizes and even kids, so be sure to check it out.
Also, fun little note about how motivation and encouragement is so awesome these days. My contact at Compete Every Day is Jake and he’s the CEO. Except at this great company, CEO stands for Chief Encouragement Officer. I love it.

Win a Trip to the Playboy Mansion by Playing Fantasy Baseball
Dreams can come true: Win a trip to the Playboy Mansion by Playing Fantasy Baseball
Seriously, what if we said you could pretend to be the GM of a MLB baseball team and draft your very own starting lineup? And what if that winning lineup got you an invite to the Playboy Mansion, velour robe and all? Oh, and a cool $75k? You’d think we were crazy, right? But crazier things have happened. Like someone naming their baby North West.
Turns out, dreams really do come true. StarStreet will give you a budget of $100k (play money of course) to build your very own glorious fantasy baseball team for one day. In true fantasy form, every player is priced based on what they’re expected to do, and you create your starting lineup.
From there, you can enter that team into tournaments ranging from big prize pools to head-to-head games. To make it more of the real deal, fantasy players can deposit money into their accounts via PayPal or credit/debit card so you’re playing for real money and can withdraw your winnings (with no fees) through PayPal or by requesting a check. You’re free to edit your teams up until game time, watch the live scoring on StarStreet’s slick interface and, at the end of the night, whoever has the most fantasy points wins the game and the prize money associated with it.

To be part of the Playboy Fantasy Baseball Championship is also pretty easy. StarStreet is hosting 40 qualifiers over the course of the season (don’t panic, you still have some time).
The qualifiers range in buy-in levels, and there are free contests EVERY DAY where you can win yourself a free qualifier ticket. Unlike traditional (read: old school) fantasy leagues, those on StarStreet are daily contests, so you can join when you want and/or play as often as you wish. The winner of each qualifier gets a ticket to the championship and get ready for it: THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS HOSTED AT THE PLAYBOY MANSION.
For specific questions about this contest, visit the StarStreet website or email them directly team@starstreet.com and good luck!
COED Magazine (nor The Blonde Side) has nothing to do with this contest; we’re just trying to help your dreams come true. If those dreams include winning large sums of money and hanging with Playmates, of course.
