Lite'n Up!


A little while ago I've illustrated this little humorous book by Samara Q. Klein on how to diet while maintaining your sense of humor. It's called 'Lite'n UP' and is full of motivational giggles.
I have a couple of books to give away... so, if you'd like to see the funny side of dieting.... leave me a comment. I'd randomly pick two winners on Friday morning:)

    In the past 2 years I lost 75lbs with very few laughs involved just plain old portion control & walking, I'd love to laugh the last 10 off! I'll definately check it out!

    How cute. My bf needs this. He was just whining about his "belly" and said he was going to start working out more. Hmmm...I think getting older is hard on him. All the aches & pains @ 41...leave him tired after a long day at work. He does need to cut the fat and junk from his died...it could help.

    If my donuts looked that cute, I don't think that I could eat them anymore.

    I am 5 months pregnant, so I know that I will have that "I've got to lose this weight" mindset in a few months to come -- so this would be an awesome "treat"!

    Helen, I am over the moon, nutty-coo-coo about your artwork. I luvvvv it! This book looks great. The little toxic donut is so cute (no wonder we all fall for his evil powers). Add me to your give away, please. I can't think of anything better than to have a whole book of your illustrations, get in a good laugh AND lose weight all at the same time! And all this for free is even better! :)
