eleven, ten, nine.
did anyone else love writing the date today? 11/10/9. i am such a numbers lover!
i have been working a mile a minute at my office for the past two days. playing catch up is rough! needless to say, i am behind on blogs and behind on replies and behind on life in general! sorry!
i still have one more recap post lined up of the foodbuzz festival but i have not had time to write it. if you haven’t had the chance to check out my previous festival recaps, round one is here and round two is here!
to keep you guys entertained while i work my life away (i am still at the office.. will be until about 7 tonight..sigh) i thought i would host a great giveaway!
if you have been reading my blog for awhile then you know my #1 brand of greek yogurt is oikos made by stonyfield. not only is their greek yogurt organic.. it is also the best tasting! i am a plain yogurt eater and so taste is very important to me. it is hard to get a perfect balance of tangy and tart, but oikos knows what’s up when it comes to incredible greek yogurt and somehow has found that perfect balance.
oikos is hosting a blogger sweepstakes right now~ only those who have a blog may enter. if you DO have a blog and are interested in entering the sweepstakes, you can check the details out here. i will be preparing my entry and posting it sometime this month! the winner will receive a yoga retreat at the kripalu center for yoga & health!

meals & moves 
My favorite way to rewind and relax is being outdoors, like in the woods or at the beach. When I can’t be outdoors, I like sitting in my chair and reading.
whoa, I WANT this prize!!! Ok, I am a total nerd, but I love my temper-pedic mattress and the highlight of my relaxation and restfulness is when I lie down on that little piece of heaven at the end of the day, ahhhhhhh, can’t wait!!
I also love a nice warm sunny day at the beach………
I like to relax by reading something funny, like the Shopaholic books :)
I’m not sure if you want another comment for tweeting or not, but I did :) http://twitter.com/EatCleanLiveGrn/status/5605561705
My favourite way to relax after a long, stressful day is to come home and read all my favourite blogs with a cup of tea…. I just added yours to my list a few weeks ago and I’m so happy I stumbled upon meals & moves!!!
I love to watch a funny tv show with my bf like Arrested Development…hilarious. I need lots of unwinding these days!
yay..great giveaway :)
My favorite way to relax after a long day!? WORK IT OUT…seriously…working out relaxes me. And then a long hot bath using lush products..lush is the best, mostly vegan products too :)
I tweeted (@ramblinglexi)
I am following you (have for long time lady!) annnnd I tweeted this :) @josseatsfresh
Oh Oikos – my fave! The best way for me to relax is to read or watch some very terrible made for tv movie…!
Oh and I tweeted!! http://twitter.com/NibbleNourish
loooove to work out after a long day – helps me relax and unwind when i get home! and WINE!!! :)
Favorite way to unwind?? Teaching a hard core boot camp class at the gym I work at!!! :)
My favorite way to unwind is take a hot shower, get in some sweat pants, and snuggle.
my favorite way to unwind and relax is to read blogs and to cook. :)
Oikos is my favorite greek yogurt too!! Plain rocks :)
Relaxation= a long, warm soak in the bathtub…it’s become my favorite way to unwind lately.
My favorite way to relax is to curl up in bed with a trashy magazine!
I don’t have a blog or twitter, but I follow you on my google reader!
enjoying beautiful weather relaxes me like nothing else. what to do, what to do now that it’s winter haha
ps i saw you tweet that about the date–and then i started to find the joy in writing 11-10-09
I will only eat Plain Greek yogurt and the Oikos people are the nicest ever, so great giveaway :)
How do I relax? Hard drugs. Kidding. When it’s warm, sitting outside in nature with the sun and quiet totally fixes anything for a few minutes. Now? I do love writing just for me (even if I delete it), wandering a bookstore and baking.
A glass of wine and playtime with the puppy are the perfect way to unwind!
I tweeted (@liveloveeatplay)! BTW, I love number patterns too!
Cooking is just about always my go to for relaxation. This would explain why so many new recipes have been tried in the past week… (4 papers=4 new and different baked goods… coincidence, I think not.)
My most favorite way to relax is with a good book laying on the beach in Maui. :)
I tweeted it
And I want to win! My fave easy R & R thing is a great cup of coffee, 30 mins alone (no kiddo at my heels) and blog surfin. Heaven on earth keeping up with my girls.
And that Kripalu mention you gave??!! Holy smokes girl, I am off to read that!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the tip off!
I haven’t tried that yogurt – i’ve heard good things though!
Yes, I’ll admit I loved writing the date today…and, hello, how much fun is tomorrow gonna be? 11/11?
(Shout out to my Marine husband – Happy Veterans’ Day to all those who served)
What was the question? Oh yeah, I love long baths and meditating in my sauna. A great neck and shoulder massage also does it for me every time.
Hmmm, relaxation would be great right now….
YOGA = best way to relax!!
Bubble baths are nice too =)
Relaxation for me is baking…it helps me unwind and relieve stress!
My favorite way to unwind is a nap in the sun with my dog Mirta!
Aww you poor thing. Re-entry sucks eggs.
I love a good deep massage. either that or In Touch magazine and a kitty on my lap. The latter is cheaper :-)
Diet coke with a straw makes me happier than it probably should!

my favorite way to unwind is to cook a new recipe i’ve never tried before. having to give my full attention over to following the recipe helps get my mind off of whatever caused the need to “unwind”.
thanks for the giveaway!
Epsom salt baths all the way!!
running.
i like to relax on top of a mountain after a grueling hike to the top :)
Go for a swim! Perferably in a lake!
I like going to the gym to relax, although napping always helps, too! I am a big fan of naps!
My favorite way to relax? Sleeping! Or watching cheesy TV :-)
To relax I love going into the steam room at my gym for 10 minutes….
Ok – seriously – great minds think alike. I just posted my yogurt giveaway tonight too :D
My FAVORITE way to relax if paying for it is wiht a massage, facial and/or pedicure. Money free is with a good book in a cozy place.
Tweeted and posted on Facebook to help you out :)

My favorite way to relax is a nice, warm bubble bath :)
favorite way to relax?? go for a run! at my own pace, alone, with some awesmoe tunes :) it calms me down!
ways to unwind for me at night is actually lie on my coach with my mac to read blogs and big bowl of steamed kabocha! :D easy huh?
I love relaxing with a bubble bath, a glass of wine and some music : )
Awesome giveaway! Sorry you’re working your life away, ick..
My favorite way to relax is watching a favorite show, with a glass of pinot, with my puppy. <3
I am happiest when I am slightly stressed. I feel.. productive, busy, important! And I like that. But when it gets to be too much… or out of my control, I like to relax by going out for sushi with a close friend and just chatting until they shut the lights off on us :-)
But on a normal day, I like to spend a little down time on my back deck, watching my pups play in the yard. I have a beautiful nature-filled oasis back there! :)
my fave way to relax is to come home to my boyfriend and spend an evening cooking an amazing meal together, drink wine, watch movies :)
My favorite way to relax is to spend time cooking.
My favorite way to unwind is reading. I love these Oikos spa giveaways I’ve been seeing. Super cute.
The best form of relaxation for me involves a hot tub, some wine and a good book!
A very hot bath, or better yet soak in a hot-tube, is a way that I love to relax.
Hmm one of My favorite ways to unwind is to bake something simple and easy, like granola while playing some music i can rock to. And when the granola is done, I scoop some fro yo into a bowl and top is with the granola! Sit down and enjoy with a favorite person. :) Ta-da!
Oh this is easy….. Take a long, hot bath in my over sized tub with a nice glass of wine. I like to enjoy the finer things in life. HA!
Your foodbuzz trip looked like so much fun!
Hiiii!! I tweeted ya!
ooh, Friday the 13th! :)
I love taking a hot bath with a good book.
Oh yay! I love Oikos and I totally cannot afford to spring for it right now…
My favourite way to unwind is with a bath, followed by getting into my amazing sweats and pouring either a glass of wine or making a cup of tea…and curling up with the kitties!
I love to knit. Knit while I watch tv, on my lunch break, in the car, anywhere and anytime. I find it incredibly soothing. It’s such a mathematical experience and I just love that it’s always balanced!!!
My favorite way to relax and unwind after a long day at work, or a really long run is on my couch…in my sweats…with a hot cup of tea. It’s my fav!
Have a great day!
girl I eat oikos like it’s my job — I totally wanna win this giveaway (esp. for the girl kissing the cow photo ;) )
how am I not already following you on twitter? you bet your a$$ I fixed that.
i just like to get in bed with a book… especially one i’ve already read before and love. :-)
Definitely with a good book as well. Nestled on the couch with a hot mug of milky tea :)
I love to get on the computer and read blogs of course!!! I also like to read to unwind!
Hey girl! Ideally, a nice massage would be my favorite way to relax. Too bad those pretty much never happen lol. Curling up on the couch in cozy sweats with a good book or TV show is another great way :)
Just zonking in front of the TV! Nothing like mindless TV watching after a long hard day ;-)
Yum – Greek yogurt is the bomb : )

My favorite way to unwind and relax is with yoga and herbal tea — totally fantabulous!!! :-D
I followed you and tweeted (from @RawJuiceGirl)
http://twitter.com/RawJuiceGirl/status/5640509863
my favorite ways to unwind are: coffee and baking, OR yoga and walks. it all depends on what kind of unwinding i need :)
it sounds weird but when i used to run, that would be my relaxtion. a nice clean, crisp day, a good relaxed run, looking at all the scenery, listening to the tunes my ipod pumped out, not worrying about pace or distance & just clearing my head. it was the best!
now, i usually just take some time to myself, listen to music, or read blogs in bed :)
Ohhh I love to snuggle up on the couch and read a good book. I look forward to this sooo much! ;)
Fun giveaway!
since i was working, yes, i LOVED writing the reverse numbers ALL DAY LONG. i adore # sh!t like that. im such a freak, so you are in good company m’dear. now lets get me some free yog goodies :)
Followed and tweeted!
Reading magazines and sipping wine is my favorite way to relax!
Oh dang, i almost missed this post! I am so behind in my reader right now! Fave way to relax= make dinner, read a book, take a hot shower, say my prayers and go to bed. Best evening ever.
Me, me! I want it!
I relax by making lists :) Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it stressed me out more when I see all I have to do!
P.S. I tweeted :)
My favorite way to relax is going on a stroll with my dog outside…especially early fall, that’s the perfect weather!
my favorite way to unwind and relax is YOGA! or a bubble bath!
