If you've been out shopping recently, you've no doubt heard the bells ringing to remind us that this is the time of year to be thankful for what we have, and share with those that have less.  In this spirit of giving, Well Adjusted World is excited to announce that we've  partnered with Ebert Studios to raise funds for the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry!

Did you know that for every $100 they recieve in donations, the OPRF Food Pantry can purchase $1100 worth of food?  It's this amazing amount of buying power that motivates us to ask you to donate not canned goods, but a monetary contribution.  And as a thank you for your generosity, every $20 you donate will enter you in a raffle to win a photograpy package from Ebert Studios, the premier photography studio of Oak Park!  This package includes a sitting session and one 8x10" portrait (valued at $315).  Naturally, the more you donate, the greater your chances to win! 

Donations are being collected at our office at 715 Lake Street, Suite 271, and can be cash or checks made directly to the OPRF Food Pantry.  This is not exclusive to members to our office, so please tell your friends and family to donate as well - forward this email, post it on Facebook, tweet it on Twitter - let's get the word out and help the less fortunate members of our community this holiday season! 

Raffle Details:  For every $20 donated, the donor will recieve one raffle entry.  Donations will be accepted through December 16, 2011, and the winner will be announced December 21st.  Donations may be in the form of cash or checks made to the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry.  The raffle prize will be a $315 gift certificate from Ebert Studios, which may be applied to any combination of services.  Any questions may be directed to Kristine at 708-848-4940 or kristine@welladjustedworld.com.

Are you on a gluten-free diet?  Do you or someone in your family have nut allergies?  Maybe you're just interested in a healthier way of eating, and you want to know exactly what goes into your food. 

Your only choices before were to stand in the grocery store and read every nutritional label, looking for allergy warnings and trying to find hidden ingredients, OR you had to buy raw ingredients that cost a fortune and spend a day in the kitchen actually making your own energy bars.  UNTIL NOW...

Through our new affiliate relationship with YouBar, you can now create custom energy bars, shakes, cereal, trail mix, and even cookies!  Choose from high-quality ingredients like almond butter, gluten free flour,  organic dates, flaxseed, pecans, shredded coconut... even tasty little additions like chocolate covered raisins!  For those looking for less sugar in your diet, you can choose from natural sweeteners like agave nectar or brown rice syrup.  Slip in some extra protein powder, vitamin infusions, and fiber to up the health factor without sacrificing taste.  You control everything that goes into your creations, including the proportions, and nutrition information is updated as you go.  And if that wasn't cool enough, you get to have the wrapper printed with your own custom label!  Oh, and did we mention you can get vegan options, too? 

Order them for yourself, or buy them as gifts for anyone in your life that has a hard time finding energy bars and snacks to match their dietary needs.  As a YouBar affiliate, we are pleased to offer you an exclusive coupon for 5% off your entire order (excluding shipping).  Go to  www.youbars.com, follow the easy directions to customize your own energy bar, shake, trail mix, cereal, or cookie, and enter the coupon code bdyhckr during checkout.  Custom nutrition at the click of a mouse - what could be easier!
