MBT: an introduction and giveaway! (NOW CLOSED)

I was recently contacted about a brand called MBT and as someone who has tried every kind of way to keep fit I jumped at the chance to try out a pair. You see, MBT is the original functional footwear brand which can activate more muscle groups through the principle of natural instability - meaning people can tone their body and prevent physical aches and pains by walking and standing. The benefits are incredibly impressive and celebrity wearers include Cheryl Cole, Coleen Rooney, Katherine Heigl and Fearne Cotton. What's good enough for the A List is good enough for me!

The new Autumn/Winter 2010 range has been launched and I will be trying out a pair called Fora in white. They are so stylish - I love them already and I haven't even started to use them yet! I plan to do a bit of exercise this weekend so they will be getting an outing. I will share my thoughts with you as I go and update you on how I'm getting on with them so keep your eyes peeled for that!

What else do MBT say?

The dawn of 2010 saw the update of MBT's athletic offering introducing styles that were 20% lighter and featured breathable materials, while boasting all of the same muscle-activating and posture-improving benefits as its predecessors. Perfect for all forms of controlled exercise*, this stylish new generation of athletic MBTs can help to maximize the benefits of a workout and increase calorie burn by 13%.

* Examples: Running on a treadmill, yoga, pilates and weight training.

The best news of all is that I have a pair to give away to one lucky reader of Lily loves Lola! So while I'm busy testing my pair out you can have your very own pair to wear and review if you like! The pair in question are part of the collaboration with Wolfgang Joop who has created three unique, limited edition styles. The Wunderkind collection is based on MBT's existing bestseller, the Mary-Jane style "Tunisha".

To be in with a chance to win a red pair in a UK size 4, leave a comment below saying you would like to enter. Unfortunately this giveaway is just for UK folks only. One entry per person please. The contest will close on 25 October 2010 and I'll pick a winner using random.org as always!

Good luck everyone.

Smile - it's Friday!

Plans for the weekend:

1) To get my hair cut or at the very least get my fringe sorted. It is a mess and my fringe has now grown out enough to do something with!

2) Sleep. I am so tired. Too many late nights during the week!

3) Sofa browsing. I need to find a little sofa for when I move and Ikea have some lovely ones. You can't go wrong with Ikea for the price! Perfect for someone like me starting out on their own :) I also need a bed, fridge, washing machine, kettle......

4) Jogging. I am going to dust off my trainers and go for a run. I did it so much in the run up to Race for Life and I miss it! I have lost a bit of weight recently and I want to tone up a bit and feel fitter. Fingers crossed the weather improves!

5) Movies. I am going to have a complete film fest!

P.S. Congratulations to Gem and M for winning my Funk Rock giveaway. Check your emails ladies!

Monday summary

Hello lovelies. How are you? My weekend has been hectic! After a lot of "yes I found a place" and "no I haven't" (I like to leave things till the last minute obviously!) I moved back in with my parents so that I can save up a little bit of money. Then hopefully I'll be in a better position to move on by myself soon (with Lily and Lola of course!)

I am living out of boxes and my things are everywhere, and it is honestly making me feel very sad indeed. I just want to unpack and make myself at home, and not being able to do that is rubbish. Not knowing what is round the corner is quite scary. It has been a funny old couple of months that's for sure!

I have some good things to cheer me up though! 5 to be exact!

1) Tabitha wrote a blog post about little old me and it is just wonderful! She is really kind about my blog and she has put lots of effort into finding the pictures and typing up my answers. Thank you Tabitha! Go say hello everyone :)

2) Lots of you commented on the Coconut M&Ms in my last post - and I'm sorry to say ladies they were kindly sent to me by Sarah from across the pond! She has been an absolute doll and sent me a little package full of them, and I can confirm they are delicious! Thank you Sarah. You're a star!

3) I finally saw Inception! Can I get a cheer? After weeks and weeks of wanting to go I finally went last week. I enjoyed it but I was extremely confused. It doesn't take much though!

4) I'm going out for tapas tomorrow night. You can't beat tapas and a glass of sangria to make everything ok.

5) I met someone.. and he is wonderful.. :)
