Giveaway #11 - Lauren's Hope $25 Gift Card!

Picture
For Day 11 we have a Giveaway by a company who I adore, Lauren’s Hope! They are giving away a $25 Gift card to buy anything you wish from their website! Lauren’s Hope creates some of the most stunning Medical ID’s I have ever seen. They have an in house jewelry designer who makes stunning pieces of jewelry which double as a Medical ID. You really wouldn't know it's a medical ID at first glance, and I love how easy they are to accessorize. I am a sucker for an eye catching bracelet, and when I discovered them I was instantly in love. 

I have a ton of personal favorites, but you can see all of their bracelets, necklaces & even purse tasselsfor yourself and I think you will fall equally in love! They also have items for Girls & Boys as well as many items for Men. There is something for everyone!

On top of that they are an extremely patient focused company. Lauren's Hope was created when Lauren, a 13 year old girl with diabetes hated wearing her medical ID's. They were plain metal unattractive ID's that only drew attention to her condition. From that grew the creation of a fashionable ID that Lauren loved to wear & gave her independence while not calling so much attention to her illness. In 2001 Lauren's Hope introduced the very first interchangeable medical ID bracelet, and it changed everything for patients everywhere. Gone were the days of standard plain ID's that were begrudgingly worn because there were now attractive, stylish options that patients could enjoy wearing.

Giveaway #19 - Far Infrared Portable Sauna

Picture
For Day 19 I’m giving way a Portable Far Infrared Sauna! I asked via a poll both on Twitter & Instagram, “taking into consideration your space, assembly & ease of use, which sauna would you prefer: A full size wooden or A portable unit?” Portable sauna won both polls, so a portable far infrared sauna it is!

Infrared saunas have a lot of health benefits, the main one being it's ability to help detox on a deep level. It works by using far infrared radiation that can reach much deeper levels of tissue which would otherwise be out of reach for traditional heat. This pushes the toxins out of your tissues and you end up sweating them out. Most people who have trouble with traditional heat do well in an Infrared sauna because it is a dry heat & the air surrounding you is cool as opposed to a steam sauna. This makes the infrared sauna a much gentler approach because you aren't over heating your body, rather the infrared rays use targeted deep heat to help you detox. Another bonus with the portable version is that your head sticks out which helps to not feel so overwhelmed with heat. Infrared saunas are also a wealth of help for chronic pain, with the targeted heat helping to ease painful muscles & joints.


This item wasn’t donated, but rather covered by the amazing Sponsors of this Giveaway –Hopkinton Drug, Lyme Well, KDMC, & Deerbusters –  So please, show these Sponsors some love, this would not be possible without them!

​Winner: Rachael S


Giveaway #20 - BLOG EXCLUSIVE: Lyme Loonies & TickEase

Picture
Today is Day 20 of the Giveaway & we have another 'Blog Exclusive!' That means that this Giveaway is only being posted here on my blog, and entering is as simple as filling out a form! It is not required to have any social media accounts to enter, just your name & address! This is to make sure that everyone can participate even if they don't use social media.

For today's blog exclusive you can win one of FIVE signed copies of 'Lyme Loonies,' written and illustrated by the amazing David Skidmore! I met David via the power of twitter way way back in about 2013 and he became an instant friend. His kindness mixed with his advocacy for this terrible disease propelled him to turn his talent for cartooning into a way to spread Lyme awareness. He began to draw cartoons depicting the harsh truths of living with Lyme (or any chronic condition), and it's that humor which captivated the hearts of patients far and wide. We felt like we could really connect with David through his illustrations because it was SO accurate to daily life with a chronic illness. Soon David channeled his work into a book, and it has been a BIG hit! You can find David's book in the homes of thousands of Lyme patients/advocates & Doctor's offices. I am proud to call him a friend, and even more proud to share his work with all of you! Whether you are new to David or already a fan, you can enter to win a signed copy by the artist himself!

Along with the copy of Lyme Loonies you will also win a Tick Ease tick remover tool! It's always smart to be prepared and have a pair of Tick Ease tweezers handy to easily and safely remove ticks on yourself or your pet. These tools were donated & covered by Deerbusters, who are one of my generous sponsors! You can learn more about Deerbusters at www.deerbusters.com


Thank you to David for taking the time to sign these copies, and thank you to my amazing sponsors for covering the cost & making this Giveaway possible! Hopkinton Drug, LymeWell, KDMC, Deerbusters- I am so thankful for you!

Giveaway #23 - Movie Night In Gift Set!

Picture
For Day 23 we have a "Movie Night In" Gift Set, featuring Teatulia Organic Tea! Teatulia is a very special company who not only creates pure Organic teas, but they also give back to families in Bangladesh. Teatulia's sustainably grown teas hail from their own tea garden in the Tequila region of Northern Bangladesh. Their garden is one of the largest organic tea gardens in the world, which has regenerated the eco-system of the country. Not only that, that garden is a co-op, which has created jobs in the remote and impoverished region of Bangladesh for more than 600 workers and 1700 community members. Through this co-op they not only provide jobs to locals, these workers also benefit from education programs (improving literacy rates 50%), healthcare, and cattle-lending programs to help families out of the cycle of poverty. This co-op program teaches organic farming for workers which provide families with food and also gives them crops to sell in their local markets. On top of all of that they have a cattle lending program where Bengali women care for the cows, get to keep their milk and in exchange they provide the needed manure to Teatulia for the crops.

I can't possible be more in awe of a company than I am with Teatulia. Their dedication to improving the lives of those in poverty while creating a tea that is so pure and delicious (all packaged environmentally friendly) is such an inspiration. I feel thankful and lucky that they have so generously donated 2 cans of their organic tea's and a large ceramic mug to this Giveaway. I drink their peppermint tea, and it's simply delicious! 

Along with the organic Chamomile Tea, Green Tea, and mug, the winner will also receive a $25 Netflix Gift Card! This can be used for new service or applied to existing service. This bundle has everything you need for a cozy movie night in relaxing!

Giveaway #24 - Alimtox

Picture
Hi friends, and welcome to Day 24 of the Lady of Lyme Giveaway! I am so excited for this month and everything that is to come. If you want to read more about this Giveaway you can read my full blog post HERE.

For Day 24 we have another fan favorite, the Ion Cell Cleanse Footbath ($1300) by Alimtox! They so generously donated an entire system, with TWO arrays, which includes everything you need to run an ionic foot bath! The Alimtox Ion Cleanse is a powerful way to experience cellular detoxification. It generates a stream of positive and negative ions which attract and attach themselves to toxic particles. During a 30 minute session the ions enter your body and begin to neutralize the tissue's acidic waste. The machine is very user friendly and incredibly easy to get set up and running. All you will need is a bucket, some water, and salt of your choice. The salt is used as a conductor for the ionic currents to help detoxify your cells from toxins & promote healing. The Ion Cell Cleanse is often found in Doctor's offices because of how powerful it is and how well it detoxes. Now you can have one for yourself to get all the benefits without having to leave your home! 


Thank you again to Alimtox for the generousity, and please check them out online at the links below!

Giveaway #25 - Aromatherapy Care Kits by Comfort & Kindness

Picture
For Day 25 we have customized Aromatherapy Care Kits ($65) from Comfort & Kindness for 3 winners! Comfort & Kindness creates symptom based, all natural aromatherapy kits which are assembled to provide support for needs such as, Anxiety, Pain & Nausea. Each kit is specifically tailored for a different area of need, and is stocked FULL of everything you need to get through each specific struggle. 

Comfort & Kindness was created by Korinne Krieger, who is a Registered Nurse. When her mother was diagnosed with cancer and put into hospice care she noticed that many of her symptoms were not able to be eased by the the traditional prescription medications. That's when she turned to alternative remedies to help comfort and calm her mother. Things like the relaxing aroma of lavender, a gentle hand and foot massage, soothing baths, and a flickering candle had the greatest impact for her peace. Through this experience she got a passion to create care kits for others in need. Each and everyone of the Care Kits are customized for specific needs and come in a handy zipper pouch that you can take with you anywhere. 


  • The unique kits are made of waxed canvas, which withstands everyday use
  • Designed to be portable, the kit measures 8.5 x 6.5 x 2", so relief is available whenever you need it
  • 2 large mesh pockets that hold all of your care kit products
  • Convenient instructional pamphlet with detailed information about each product and how to properly use it
  • Sturdy metal zipper and leather pull tabs
  • Fits nicely on beside tables, in carry on luggage, purses, or in your desk drawer at work​

​I spoke to Korinne about the general needs of those in the chronic illness community, and she offered 3 of her kits to be given away! You have your choice of: Soothe, Relieve & Ease. ​

Giveaway #26 - LymeWell

Picture
For Day 26 we have an item you have seen a lot during this month, because it's from one of the Sponsors! LymeWell Enhanced Superfood is a supplement that combines 9 common nutrients into a single scoop of powder so you can stop taking 10+ capsules a day, save money, and have fewer bottles to manage. Those recovering from chronic illnesses such as Lyme disease commonly take these 9 supplements to help detox, increase energy and brain function, improve joint mobility & get a vitamin boost in areas where Lyme most often creates deficiencies. These specific nutrients are Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12, Magnesium, Glucosamine HCL, chondroitin sulfate, chlorella, glutathione, and coenzyme Q-10. Lymewell’s supplement is gluten free, nut free, and manufactured in the USA in a cGMP and FDA-compliant facility.

As a patient there are two things that are universally true: You will have a lot of supplements to take, and keeping up with re-ordering and organizing said-supplements is extremely time consuming. There is nothing I valued more than convenience. My life is chaotic and busy on its own, and if anything can help make my life easier as a patient then I am all for it. Thats why Chris (also a fellow Lyme warrior) founded Lyme Well. He understood first hand the in's and out's of this disease, and he became determined to create a product that could make Lyme patient's lives easier. He noticed that across the board almost all LLMD's tell their patients to take the same handful of supplements. This make sense of course, because the recommendations for supplements is based on what is most often depleted or needed for a patient fighting Lyme. However, this list could be pretty long and Chris wondered why no one made a supplement that combined them all. To be honest this is a question I always had too! I wished someone would just combine everything into one thing I had to take. So, Chris did just that! He created his company, LymeWell, and he packed 9 of the most common supplements & nutrients into one powder. You simply take a scoop a day in water, in a smoothie, or however you'd like. The ease and convenience of it can not be topped, not to mention the amount of money you will save not buying them all individually! 

LymeWell has not only been an amazing Sponsor, but they have also generously donated 50 tubs of their supplement to 50 winners! If you want to try out LymeWell for yourself then now is your chance! Each tub retails for $39.99, but if you use code LADYOFLYME you get 20% off your order at lymewell.com. This Giveaway is open to US residents only.

Giveaway #28 - "Soothe & Pamper" Gift Set

  • A Neck/Shoulder Heated Massager
  • Everclen Eye Cream (Hypoallergenic, Vegan, Fragrance Free, Cruelty Free)

Chronic pain is all to common with chronic illnesses, so I put together this bundle with two of my favorite items when I need to give myself a little extra TLC. The Everclen Eye Cream is vegan, free of fragrance & uses only natural ingredients. It's specifically made for sensitive skin & feels oh so luxurious! And nothing feels as lovely as a warm neck massage, so I absolutely had to include that! The Amazon gift card is so that you can pick out whatever else you might like/need.

Giveaway #29 - Magic Weighted Blanket

Picture
For Day 29 we have a highly requested item from The Magic Weighted Blanket. They are the company who started it all more than 20 years ago and continue to make high quality weighted blankets to help with anxiety, insomnia, stress & more. The winner of this Giveaway will have their choice of any blanket from their website (www.magicweightedblanket.com)! I am so thankful to Magic Weighted Blanket because struggles like anxiety, an overactive nervous system & heightened sensory responses are very common in the chronic illness community. 

Weighted Blankets work by applying Deep Touch Pressure to relax and calm the body. These blankets mold to the body like a warm hug and calm the nervous system down. When pressure is gently applied to the body it encourage serotonin production, which lifts your mood and calms the brain. When serotonin naturally converts to melatonin, your body goes into a state of rest.

Giveaway #31 - Home Cleaning Services

Picture
I wanted Day 31 to be something special to close out the month, and also something that wasn't very conventional. One big request I got time and time again from patients was for someone to come clean their home. Being chronically ill takes its toll, and having the energy to clean your whole house or apartment is often non-existant. So, your wish is my command! Today's Giveaway is $125 worth of Home Cleaning Services for TWO winners! You will receive a Gift Card to either Merry Maids, Molly Maids, or if neither are in your service area then a local maid cleaning service in your town. I consulted both companies & got price estimates which ranged from $89-$129 depending on the size of the home. They can choose to use either their cleaning supplies or your own if you have chemical sensitivities. You can use the Gift Card however you choose, if you'd rather them only do a deep kitchen cleaning vs a whole house, they can do that as well. It is entirely up to your needs!

This amazing Giveaway is made possible by the fantastic Sponsors who I can't possibly thank enough for their generosity! Please show these Sponsors some love, give their page a like & tell them thank you for all they have done ALL month long! Hopkinton Drug - LymeWell - King's Daughters Medical Center - Deerbusters

Winners: Laura D & Rosann F
