How do you do it all?

This is the question that many of you asked when I asked for questions you’d love for me to answer in a video blog.

In this video, I answer that question by sharing how I don’t do it all and I don’t do it all myself. I also give you an insider peek into how I currently plan my day and how it has freed me up from feeling overwhelmed every day.

I got to try some NOYA lip balms recently and was really impressed with them. They work well and I love the flavors they come in — especially cherry and vanilla!

But you know what I love best about NOYA lip balms? They are truly made with all natural ingredients. There isn’t anything in them that you don’t know exactly what it is.

For instance, the cherry lip balm only has the following ingredients in it: Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Flavor, and Organic Stevia. All other three lip balms just have similar ingredients in them!

They also have a cool opportunity for those who are interested: NOYA is also allied with the National Health Care for the Homeless Council and will donate one lip balm for every balm purchased, if you send them a picture of your newly-purchased lip balm. Plus, if you submit your picture, you’ll be entered to win year’s supply of lip balm for you and a friend.

Be sure to follow NOYA on Facebook and Twitter. Or, check out their website for more information.

NOYA is generously giving 15 winners a set of four lip balms. You’ll definitely want to enter to win! Just click on the graphic below and type in your name and email address.

This giveaway ends Saturday, May 25, at 11:59 pm, CST. 15 winners will be chosen and posted on Tuesday.
