If you aren't on Facebook or Twitter, you may not have seen that Amber is do the 50 Tweets Til Christmas Challenge where she is posting a training/wellness tip or a promotional code from one of her sponsors each day from now(or over ten days ago) until Christmas.
To catch you up to speed, here are her first 25 days of Tweeting:

If you are not familiar with twitter, all those hashtags and at signs supposedly mean something but I typically use them haphazardly in #anywayIdamnwellpleasebecauseIdon'tquiteunderstandnordoIcanenoughtolearn.
Rather than wait for me to post her updated tweets, why not just follow her on Twitter and/or Facebook?
