Happy October 1st my friends.
Can you believe how fast September came and went? Christmas will be here before we know it.
Ok, much to talk about today…
First, I LOVE getting packages in the mail, totally makes for an exciting treat after a long work day.
Back in August, Special K was hosting a Share event, read all about it here. Today, this arrived:
Emily from The Experimentarian sent me some Sunbutter and raspberry honey spread a Utah original! 
I’m so excited to try these and get to know Emily through her blog. Thank you so much Emily!!
Secondly, not only do I love getting a package in the mail, I love getting TWO packages…
Oh yes, those would be Zensah Compression Arm Sleeves!! Woo!
Like my awkward arm pose? haha!
I can’t wait to try these babies out! Hopefully the weather will continue to get cooler out. Has anyone else tried compression arm/leg sleeves before? What do you think of them?
thirdly, Today is World Vegetarian Day.
Click here to read more about it, and hug a veg-head today. 
fourthly, everyone knows that October is breast cancer awareness month {in less you don’t own a TV, Computer, shop or talk to people..pretty much if you’re a hermit}.
This weekend here in Houston is the Komen Houston Race for the Cure, a 5k walk/run. I wish I would have signed up for it. next year though. Good luck to all of those running this weekend!
Also, I got this email from one of my favorite fitness apparel stores, Lucy Activewear.
Lucy is donating 10% of water bottle sales (any color) to Young Survival Coalition now thru the end of October! Click here to purchase one.{or ten}
Lastly, I want to hear from YOU. If you or someone you know has battled with breast cancer, I’d love to hear from you. Email me at [email protected] and if you’d like I’d love to share your inspiring story with everyone here on Team Giles.

Ooh, I’m going to participate in world vegetarian day!
loooving those arm sleeves! Let us know what you think of them when you try em out!
Good post Lauren. All that neat stuff makes me want to go shopping.
I know Morgan loves her compression sleeves. I have yet to try them.
Happy October 1st!
Wahoo! New things, new things! I got a new hat yesterday and Old Navy Halloween pajama bottoms.
I know too many people impacted by breast cancer. It’s such an important subject. I wrote about one of my friends on my blog today.
I just tested out my zensah sleeves this morning, if you catch my post I had to ghetto rig them to fit but besides that, I LOVED them and they totally get the job done.
So jealous of all your packages!!!
October is such a good month! You should check out Erica’s blog – she’s a breast cancer survivor (going for her last Herceptin treatment tomorrow!) and she is SUCH a huge inspiration! Her faith is so inspiring, too. Check her out! (http://ericaexercisesneats.blogspot.com)
I just broke open Emily’s sunbutter today and did a grilled sunbutterwhich…MY WORD! Heaven in Germany! So glad that you liked the pacakge…I hope to do another one later!
I agree: getting packages is THE best. Looks like you got some great stuff. I love the color you chose for your sleeves. I can’t wait to order mine!
yay! I’m so glad you got the package and enjoyed it! Again ,apologies that it took me so long to get it to you. You will love, LOVE the SUnbutter if you haven’t tried it before. I would suggest it on some whole wheat toast with strawberry preserves. You will die
Can’t wait to keep in touch! xoxo
