2013-11-04

I mentioned over the weekend that I’m not very good at keeping secrets.

Well actually, I should clarify.  I don’t really believe in secrets, so let me explain it with a story (which is how I seem to explain best, lol).

You know when you know something that someone else doesn’t, but you know they’ll be just as excited as you when they find out, except that you’re not supposed to tell them?  Well that’s how I’ve felt for oh, a few month now, and quite frankly, I’m about to explode like a shaken can of soda.  So ya’ll need to either plug your ears or duct tape my mouth if you don’t want to hear because it’s all coming out today!

First, ya’ll know that I’m not one to push products on you.  I only recommend products that I myself use and wholeheartedly endorse.  That’s why you don’t see products and giveaways around here crazy often.  Unless my fellow real foodies would feel like Christmas came early when the sponsor’s box arrives on their doorstep, I won’t do it.  I know it doesn’t take much to make you guys smile… free wheat berries, free coconut oil, free stevia… but still.  Ya’ll know what I mean.

So when I say there’s an eBook bundle for sale that I think you guys would like, that’s exactly what I mean.  There’s an eBook  bundle for sale that I think you guys would really like!

I’ve had the opportunity to browse through the selection of books over the past week or so and can I just say, “Wow?!”  The talent of some of these authors just blows me away, and the fact that there’s over 80 books to glean from?  AMAZING!

Recipes galore (16 books in that section alone!), allergies and special diets, meal planning, natural skincare, natural health, fitness, healthy lifestyle, sustainability, living green and kids and babies – surely one of those topics is up your alley!

Plus, the large majority of these books have not been included in any previous bundle sales.  Most of them have been released this year, or haven’t been released at all.  Speaking of unreleased books…

Secondly, ya’ll know that I’ve been working hard to finish up my eBook.  While the official release isn’t until January (when there will also be over $1000 worth of freebies to giveaway!), you can get a pre-release copy of “High Protein, No Powder: Protein Bars and Smoothies Made with Real Food” because it’s included in this eBook bundle sale!  Totally awesome, right?  Yeah, I’m pretty stoked myself.

Third, there’s A LOT I want to say about this bundle, but the organizers have done a fantastic job of summarizing it all up for you, including the fine print, and I don’t want to delete any of the important information (or fun stuff either) so I’m leaving it all here for you guys to read… which makes this a very long post.

So instead of making an already long post REALLY long, I’m going to share with you throughout the week some of the highlights I’ve found in the bundle. 86 books, 12 weeks of mentor-ship and $150+ in bonuses can be overwhelming.  Sharing bits and pieces with you over the next several days makes the bundle itself easier to understand and wrap our heads around.  And since not everyone has an extra $30 bucks in their budget, I don’t want you spending the money unless it’s worth it for you.  So here’s what I’m going to ask you to do for now:

Read through this whole post (refill your coffee beforehand ). Don’t skim – actually read the titles and look at the pictures.  You’ll be surprised at the great variety included.

Talk to your spouse about this bundle tonight or tomorrow.  Let them know what’s for sale and how you think it might help you in your journey of real food and natural living.

Stay connected with Crumbs via email, Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest where I plan to share insights as to why you should consider this bundle.  Consider me your official “taste tester.”  Got a question about a book?  Leave it in the comments and I’ll try to answer it.  Being informed is the only way to make the best decision for you.

Be aware that this sale ends this Saturday, November 9 at 11:59pm EST.  I’ll remind you as we get closer, but don’t let this opportunity fall to the cobweb area of your mind.  Otherwise, it’ll be too late (especially if your cobwebs are as tangled as mine!)

Lastly, in honor of this giveaway, I’ve collaborated with several authors participating in this bundle sale to offer you the chance to win a Kindle Fire 7″ HDX Tablet.  We thought it would make reading your newly purchased 86 eBooks a bit easier.  (Should you decide to purchase, of course. )

That’s a picture of the prize off to the right, with the cover of my book… doesn’t it look nice?

Anyone feeling lucky?

Once you’ve read through the list of books, be sure to enter the giveaway for your chance to win this Kindle.  (You can find the specs on the Kindle HERE.)  There’s no special requirement to enter, but the more you spread the word, the more entries you get!

So, onward forward with the a great overview of the bundle.  Again, be sure to leave me a comment if you have any questions about a particular book.  There’s also a link to a FAQ’s about the bundle in general at the end of the page that I myself have used pretty often this past week!

Providing you with fabulously useful eBook resources is what we, the team behind Ultimate Bundles, are all about. This year we decided to throw caution to the wind and make the package more of a no-brainer than ever before.

What’s in the Bundle?

We took 86 eBooks (plus 1 eCourse) by popular bloggers on topics like real food & recipes, green living, natural cleaning and beauty, mental and emotional health, fitness, herbal remedies and more.

Then we added the brand new “Coffee Table Conversations,” a 12-week series of author mentorship through interactive online conference calls and private support groups.

We finished it off with 9 bonus sponsors offering you $150+ of incredible products and services to help you along your way. This includes bonuses like $25.98 of FREE eco-friendly laundry detergent from Dizolve (because we all need clean clothes). This bonus nearly makes up for the entire cost of the bundle!

How Much Does the Bundle Cost?

Ultimate: Maximum; decisive; conclusive. The best or most extreme of its kind.

We wouldn’t call it the “ultimate” bundle if it wasn’t true.

As our hard-working team pulled together the Ultimate Healthy Living 2013 Bundle Sale, we had 3 basic goals: to put a comprehensive health library at your fingertips, to offer something for everyone, and to provide so much value for an itty-bitty price that it would be irresistible.

In a nutshell? This bundle is brimming with more than 80 ebook and ecourse resources, from authors and bloggers known as authorities in their fields.

For less than $30, you can pick up your own bundle complete with more than $800 of ebooks, $67 of interactive “coffee table conversations” with their authors, and $158 of products and services to help you on your way toward healthier living. That’s over a $1,000 value!

But you don’t want to wait! This bundle is available for only 6 days, from 8 a.m. (EST) on Monday, November 4th to 11:59pm (EST) on Saturday, November 9th.

Get yours now for just $29.97!

For 12 weeks starting in January 2014, we’ll offer a series of weekly one-hour live conference calls, where you can join in and ask your questions on relevant and timely healthy living topics to a panel of eBook authors. We’ll look at issues like allergy-friendly cooking, fighting fatigue (and finding energy!), eating well on a tight budget, an introduction to alternative health and herbal remedies, and tips and tricks for making real food in less time. You’ll be able to listen to authors converse with each other on any (or all) of the 12 calls that you choose to take part in, and get answers to your questions in real time!

We’ll also provide a private Facebook group, where that week’s “mentors” will pop in as often as they can and chat with you on the topics at hand. Talk about up-close and personal learning!
