It’s BLACK FRIDAY!
Well, not officially—it’s actually still Thanksgiving. But that doesn’t really mean anything these days, right? Doesn’t everyone run out to the stores right after they polish off their plate of turkey at like 5 in the afternoon now? I don’t know. But I DO know that we are having a crazy, ridiculously ginormously awesome sale of amazingness around these parts, and you should probably get on that ASAP.
Before I get into the deals, though, I want to make a very special announcement.
While we’re all in a mild food coma right now from stuffing our faces with, well, stuffing, and (hopefully) feeling thankful for all the many privileges we are lucky enough to have, maybe we could take a second to think about one thing we hardly ever give thanks for—the clean, safe water we freely have access to in our country.
Where we’re over here Brita-ing and bottling and alkalizing and even wasting gallons and gallons of our water down the drain every day, 33% of all families in Cambodia don’t have access to water that is clean enough to not make them sick.
Please, watch this video to get a better idea of the terrifying reality these families are facing right now.
How YOU can help
My blogging buddies in Village Green Network have teamed up with charity:water for a special holiday campaign to raise funds to provide clean water for families in Cambodia.
Our goal is to raise $50,000 by December 31st—that amount means safe, clean, life-changing water and hope for the future, for 500 families! Please, head on over to our campaign site now to give what you can. Just $65 is enough to provide the filter needed to service one family in need, for years to come!
Click here to visit charity:water and make a difference for one family’s future today.

Yes, I’m including MY ebooks in our big sale, too! That means you can get Real Food for Real Life: How to Eat Healthy Without Going Completely Crazy, which normally sells for $24.95, for only $8.23!
Real Food for Real Life is my guide to real food for the rest of us—if you’re sick of all the “rules” and feeling overwhelmed with it all, this is what you need to get back on track to simplify healthy eating. It covers it all—from the history of our food industry and why we need to know the difference between the steaks on sale at Walmart and ethical grass-fed meat from a real farm; to how to get your family on board with weird things like fermented vegetables; to recognizing an unhealthy mindset in your relationship with food and how to change that. It’s a big, fat, real-book-length-ebook at 240 pages, and it’s already helped hundreds of people regain their sanity in the process of figuring out healthy eating!
Real Food for Real Life normally sells for $24.95, but the Black Friday price is only $8.23! That’s the absolute cheapest I have ever offered it. Just enter the code, BLACKFRIDAY13 at checkout to save over $16! Click HERE to order it now.
AND my other ebook, The Sleep Solution: End Your Insomnia Naturally, is also included in the sale!
I am the Queen of Sleep. There’s a running joke around, oh, pretty much everyone who knows me, that I love (and need) my sleep more than any baby or toddler ever did. What can I say? I’m just relishing the time I have with my precious slumber now before it’s stolen away from me by one of those things in the coming years. (Although my personal theory is that any baby of mine is sure to inherit my sleepy genes. Right?! … I see you pointing and laughing at my naivety, actual moms.)
Anyway. My relationship with sleep wasn’t always quite so funny. I actually used to suffer from insomnia, and had very poorly regulated sleep-wake cycles. But what I learned about the many biological processes that work together to regulate sleep cycles in my research over the last several years finally allowed me to overcome it. I wrote about everything I’ve figured out about sleep in this latest ebook of mine—and I’ve already heard the following praise from more than one person (and I quote)— “This book CHANGED MY LIFE!” (Which of course made me cry and want to give the book away to free to the whole world, but I can’t afford to do that because blogging is really expensive. At least I can put it on sale for 67% off!)
If you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting the quality sleep your body needs to be healthy, I wrote this for you. The Sleep Solution regularly sells for $29.95, but now you can get it for only $9.88! Click HERE to get The Sleep Solution for 67% off now.
