We are so lucky to live in such a great city filled with fabulous restaurants, talented chefs, and amazing food. But when it seems like you’ll never run out of places to eat, how can you prioritize where to stop first? Well (if the menu doesn’t get you first) when a restaurant starts to win awards (and lots of them), you might be on the right track.
{#HBDHerPhilly} Win 5 Spin Classes!
There was once a time in my life (or many, many times) when I despised working out. Doing things I was not good at (ie: running) or that became boring (basically running again) made exercising way less than enjoyable to me. After many weeks of not feeling as fabulous/healthy as I thought I could, I needed to find something new . . . something that was fun, held me accountable, and was actually attainable with my busy schedule.
{#HBDHerPhilly} Win a Visit to the Salon!
I started getting highlights in my hair when I was in middle school. I kept getting highlights until I was so blonde by the end of college, that it was out of control. After graduating, I decided to try and get these locks back to my natural color, only to eventually become bored again. My quest to spice up my hair led me to going ginger (but more maroon/burgundy/auburn . . . I just like saying ginger), and one place has been my go-to Philly salon of choice in order to correctly apply this strategic color choice. And now, you get to try them too.
{#HBDHerPhilly} Win An Eagles Prize Pack!
Happy Tuesday, ladies! Let’s cut to the chase: you know I love the Eagles. Even though our Birds gave a bit of a disappointing performance against the Seahawks last weekend, we’re still 9-4 (and things are gonna be OK). If you believe, like I do, that one of the best ways to show support for our team is in green and white gear (with clever slogans, of course), today’s giveaway is for you.
{#HBDHerPhilly} Win 2 Tickets to Flavors of the Avenue!
IT’S. GIVEAWAY. TIME. You guys don’t even know – I love running these giveaways for you so much, I have been looking forward to this post for months. In case you’re new (welcome!), I’ve started a little tradition here on the blog: a week of giveaways featuring some of my favorite Philly things in honor of this little blog’s birthday. So, giveaway week is back, and you are going to loooove these prizes.
All giveaways will be run for one week each on a Rafflecopter widget. If you have any questions about how to enter, please get in touch. A quick note about entries: You can enter as many giveaways and with as many ways as you’d like. If you took my reader survey last week, you’ll still need to enter using the widget below (since I don’t know if you would love the prize on Day 4 and hate the prize on Day 2 – I want to make sure you get entered for the prize you’re interested in!). I’ll be revealing a new prize every day, now through Friday . . . so, on to the first one!
{Birthday Giveaway Week} Win A Gift Card To Serafina
Happy (late) Friday! Last night I went to dinner with my BFF Kelly, my pops & his buds, and as we were finishing our meal, approximately eight Eagles players popped up from a few tables away. I’m sure you all know the huge crush I have on Jason Kelce, so as I panicked like a middle school girl, Kelly dragged me up and we asked him for a photo. Love ya, Jason!
My final birthday giveaway is a pretty wonderful one. Serafina (130 South 18th Street) is my go-to restaurant in Rittenhouse. Whenever I’m bopping in the park and need a good drink and some amazing food, I’m there. It’s consistently delicious, and I love sitting outside right on Sansom Street in the spring & summer. If you follow Her Philly on Twitter, you’ve seen me tweeting away about my visits to Serafina . . . so I can’t waiiiit for you to try it too! For my final birthday giveaway, enter for a chance to win a $75 gift card to Serafina – amazing!
And that’s a wrap! My week of 1st Birthday giveaways have all been posted, but there are still chances to enter! Each giveaway is open for one week after its original posting date, and you can enter as many as you’d like. Thank you to each of the brands I partnered with this week – we have some great prizes!

{Birthday Giveaway Week} Win A Trapeze Lesson!
Today’s post is a little later than usual, mainly because I was out hanging with my Philly Blog Love gals last night! My giveaway is for my gutsy girls (like Jessica Lawlor gutsy) – and it’s pretty freakin cool.
Last spring, I did something I never in a million years thought I’d a) get the opportunity to do & b) be physically able to do; I learned to fly. Fly School Circus Arts is a local trapeze school that set up shop earlier this year right on Broad Street for PIFA. My trapeze class was literally a once in a lifetime opportunity, and the feeling I had walking away after I did something so brave was so worth the butterflies I had before I launched off the platform. I can’t explain how necessary of an experience I think this is for you all to take advantage of, and that’s why I am SO excited to offer a free trapeze class from Fly School Circus Arts as today’s prize! Enter as many ways as you’d like using the Rafflecopter widget below:
The class will take place when they reopen at their new Philadelphia location this spring, but don’t worry, I’ll get you all the details. The contest will run one week, and I will announce the winner back here on my blog. Make sure you enter my other Philly giveaways below (you can enter as many as you’d like!) and good luck! xx

{Birthday Giveaway Week} Win Passes to the Eastern State Penitentiary
Happy snow day, ladies! I hope you enjoyed my first Philadelphia giveaway yesterday (if you missed it, there’s still 6 days left to enter!). I’m continuing my week of birthday giveaways today with an amazing (and slightly spooky!) second prize.
I had always known Eastern State Penitentiary as the old prison they had Halloween haunted houses at. It wasn’t until I visited earlier this fall that I realized just how interesting Eastern State was, and how lucky we are to have it in our city. On top of the awesome history and plenty things to learn, the Penitentiary is a perfectly affordable activity to take your out of town friends & family to. But do you know what’s better than affordable? Free. And that’s why I am so excited that Eastern State is giving you a chance to win four passes to explore the Penitentiary yourself! Use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter:
This giveaway will run for one week and I will announce the winner back here on the blog. To help you keep track of all of the awesome prizes I’ll be hooking you up with this week, I’ll be including each link in the bottom of the posts. So hop around, send in some entries, and good luck!
