Please note: The contest concluded at 5 p.m. EST (10 p.m. GMT), so comments are now closed. Check back at the main Lively Women page for contest results later this week!
My friends over at Capessa have made a very generous offer for Lively Women readers. They donated a $50 gift card to Target to give away to one lucky visitor. Here’s what to do.
Between now and 5 PM EST (GMT-5) on Monday, February 4, leave a comment on this post with 5 things you could do this year to improve your health. Not 3, not 4, but 5 things. I will put the names of all of the commenters into the list randomizer at Random.org and the commenter who ends up in the number 1 position on the third randomization will be the winner!
I am not eligible to win, but everyone else is! Each commenter gets one entry, so it doesn’t matter how many times you comment as long as you comment at least once. I will announce the winner and the decision will be final. It’s totally random, so how could anyone complain? The winner will be notified by e-mail and the gift card sent via postal mail.
So, leave a comment with 5 things you can do this year to improve your health, and be automatically entered into a random drawing for a $50 Target gift card!
And for great videos and real-life stories, visit Capessa. You’ll love it.
