GIVEAWAY: New Year, New You? Apps to Help You Meet Your Goals

January 10, 2012 by Victoria Whyte

January offers a clean slate, a new beginning and for most of us, a New Year’s goal.

We learned as kids that these goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely or SMART. But our own personal experience has taught us that no matter how smart the goals are, by mid January or early February if we are lucky, no matter how committed we were, it’s just too hard.

Steaz is on a mission to build a healthier world with great-tasting, good-for-you beverages that benefit the mind, body, soul – and planet. It's all about a complete approach to a better life, so we want to help our fans meet their lifestyle goals!

Getting Dreams Done – helps you identify your dreams and achieve your life goals. The app even syncs with your iCal and reminds you of the status of certain goals to hold you accountable.

Fooducate– scan a product barcode and see what’s really inside the product. Not only will it give you a letter grade, but also calories per serving and healthier alternatives.

Mind Bloom – inspires you to live every day to the fullest, by reminding you to make healthy choices in multiple aspects of your life from managing stress to saving money, all while enhancing your creativity. The app also helps you focus on areas of your life that are the most important to you.

RunKeeper – helps you keep track, analyze, measure and improve your fitness, while receiving support and social motivation from the community.

Mind Body Yoga – uses GPS to help you find a yoga studio and class anywhere you happen to be.

My goals are just to overall be healthier. Getting into a habit of being active, and mainly skiing as much as possible. Steaz makes you feel good when you drink it as opposed to a high sugar sports drink so it will definitely help me achieve this goal.

My goals in 2012 are to maintain a healthy lifestyle and to not "slip up" on my health. So far this week, I have accomplished about 22 miles of cardio! I feel healthy and energized and STEAZ has helped me to feel this way! I love the health benefits of green tea and Steaz makes it that much more fun to drink!!(: I also am going to attempt to complete a half-marathon this may! Wish me luck. I know that this is going to be a great year. Good luck everyone on your goals as well!!!

I have two goals for 2012: 1) Open an organic, vegan restaurant, full bar & music venue (with my brother, who is my parter) in Los Angeles. We plan to heavily involve philanthropy in our business, with a percentage of profits going towards a different non-profit each week! 2) Finally win the campaign I'm coordinating asking fashion powerhouse Intermix to stop selling fur. Intermix is a leader in the fashion industry, so them giving up fur (they sell rabbit, coyote, fox, and raccoon fur) would be a huge symbolic move. Thanks Steaz!
