TIU Secret Santa

I signed up for Tone It Up Secret Santa last month, and I was fortunate enough to be paired with two people from the U.S (one that would send me something, and one that I would send something to). It was fun being able to connect with even more Tone It Up girls, and to surprise them with a little gift during the holidays. The website the individual used to start TIU Secret Santa is Elfster, and it was great because you were able to communicate with the person you were paired with anonymously, and get to know more about them and what they like.

I was paired with Julia and I was able to find out that she loves trying new things, traveling, crafting, and accessories! So in the end I bought her a Smash journal with tons of extras to help her create a TIU memory book, a race book, a recipe book, a travel book - anything she wanted! I also was able to find a few beauty products that I thought she might like to try including nail polish, a [green] workout headband, chap stick, and of course, a makeup travel bag, which I thought might just be the cutest accessory! She told me she loved everything, once she had finally gotten it, after Christmas, from the mail room in her apartment building!

The person who had me was Amy! She didn't even need to ask me any questions, she knew exactly what I wanted and needed just by following my wish list on Elfster, and by seeing plenty of my posts on Instagram and Twitter! It's great knowing my Tone It Up sisters are reading what I post. I feel like some of these ladies know me better than some of my friends!


She gave me a copy of the latest Self magazine, The Happiness Project (which I had been wanting to read!), Tone It Up's first DVD - One Day Fat Blast (also something I had been wanting!), lotion, a Luna bar, and tea! Not only did she get me these amazing gifts for Christmas, but she also threw in a little something for my birthday (December 22nd), but I was told that I couldn't open it until that day - I loved that! So it sat on my desk for a couple of days, until I woke up that morning, and tore threw the pretty wrapping paper! It was a Starbucks giftcard to treat myself! How thoughtful, seriously Amy, I can't thank you enough! I love everything and am so grateful to be a part of this amazing team.
