. link love 2/8 .

February 8, 2015 by Amanda @ .running with spoons. 134 Comments

Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀

Welcome to this week’s edition of Link Love, and a special edition at that. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen me post this little gem right here…

Love Os

Those would be the new Love O’s from Love Grown Foods — limited edition boxes of heart shaped strawberry and chocolate Power O’s that are [almost] too adorable to eat… but too delicious to resist. They’ll only be available for the first few weeks of February in a few select stores (see graphic below), so be sure to stock up when you see them! Or… you can enter today’s giveaway for a chance to win a box of your own!

Love Os Giveaway

All you have to do is leave a comment letting me know whether you love your cereal dry or with milk, and I’ll randomly pick a winner tomorrow morning. Yup! This giveaway will only be running today, and is open only to those living in Canada or the US (sorry international friends!). Good luck and happy Sunday! 😀

Giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Kristen D!

    I love my cereal dry – even as a kid, I’ve never liked milk. I’m such a weirdo!

    That’s a tough decision! I guess I’d have to pick dry since I seem to snack on handfuls of cereal more than pouring milk on it. You can never go wrong with a bowl of cereal though!

    These newest LoveGrown Power O’s make me so happy just looking at them! I was so ecstatic when we received the email to give us the sneak peak for the upcoming newest cereal surprise from the LoveGrown folks. I can’t decide…I like cereal with and without milk! But I usually eat it more without milk–either just by the handful or on top of yogurt. 🙂

    I used to do my beloved Rice Chex with regular almond milk, and while I have a sweet tooth, it’s not a saccharine sweet tooth. I decided to try the unsweetened vanilla (because vanilla is the shit), and at the first bite I was seriously cursing the world at the terrible switch I had made. At the second bite, I was cursing myself for having never gone unsweetened earlier! I’m a “moody foodie” haha. But cereal is also killer dry. Put it in some trail mix and MMMMF. And what about rice krispy bar treats made with brown rice crisp cereal?! I’m sorry, but cereal is literally life.

    And it would totally make my life if I could visit any of those forest hotels in that link. I’m a land lover, so those water ones were seriously freaking me out! But the church one was insane….
