Friday Finds: #NoExcuses, #NewYearNewYou + Great Deals, too!

#NoExcuses Challenge

If you are like me, you may need some help getting through the winter/post holiday season. Join me in the #NoExcuses Challenge! Sweat Pink had so much fun holiday sweating it up with us during the holiday season. They say, “now that we’re all back to work and daily routines, we realize we need more encouragement, motivation and support than ever before to arm ourselves to have the best year yet.” I agree!

For only $5, here’s what you can expect:

  • Each Sunday they’ll send you an email with weekly prompts (workouts, healthy snack ideas and more)
  • They ask that you share your answer or interpretation of those prompts daily via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, your blog, etc using #NoExcuses #SweatPink for a chance to win fun weekly prizes from brands like Augusta Active, ShowerPill, Beaming with Health and more.
  • Each day, they’ll share, too.
  • Every Friday, they’ll send around an email with winners, prizes and our favorite Tweets, IG posts and blog posts from the week.

I signed up! I found the holiday challenges I did helped to keep me accountable. I need to be accountable or else… it can get ugly! So join me. If you do, please tell them Erica A. from Erica Finds sent you. I am a Sweat Pink Ambassador, so I get a prize if I refer the most people. And, you know I love prizes! Maybe I can share it with you?
