DAY 5: Withings Activé Watch
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! BUT…between the holiday parties and the Christmas shopping, managing your life during the busy holiday rush can be brutal. You’ve got to be smart, but why not let your watch do it all for you?

It even analyzes your sleep patterns, incorporating a silent vibrating alarm to help you wake up refreshed. How thoughtful!

Managing my time this holiday season with my calendar! Excited to spend next week with my sister at Disney World..would love to give her the perfect present for Christmas!
I try to manage my time by prioritizing what’s most important. Everything else always gets done in its own time. I would definitely share this gift with one of my best friends, Erin.
I try to create daily to-dos before the holidays so by the time it’s Christmas week, it’s smooth sailin’ into the holiday! I’m sharing gifts with family, close friends, co- workers and sharing some random gifts for those in need. -Kalene Larson, larsokl@gmail.com
I will share this gift specifically with my bestie, Cadie @cblase.
I love using my planner to organize my time. I’ll be sharing t with my best gal pal! 🙂
I manage my time from school to working out to hanging out with friends! I love the holiday season though! I would share my gift with my best friend Quinn. We recently went to China together and hopefully going to Hong Kong next summer! We follow Lesley’s adventures and we are inspired by her awesome posts!
My planner is with me 24/7 and I use my iPhone calendar to make sure I get reminders! I would share with my cousin who lives across the country but is coming home for Christmas 🙂
Such a cute watch!!! I manage my time juggling work, family, friends, and trips by being organized and planning ahead. Esp around the holiday season. I would share the watch with my mom because she is a daily watch wearer and loves fitness. Fingers crossed that I win!! Xo Alexis Miazgowicz @alexismazalexis
I manage my time with my phone calendar! And I get my workouts out of the way first thing in the morning. I will be sharing with one of my best friends/favorite workout partner!
I use my Apple reminders app constantly! It’s the grown up equivalent to writing on my hand. 😉 I would share this Christmas gift with my best friend Grace. I would look at it and think of her and our awesome friendship!
I plan plan plan! Sometimes things get so crazy around the holidays and I do crazy things like drop my watch under my car and run it over. And this is why I need a new watch! 😉 And I would share it with my lovely bff, Sam!
I manage my time by keeping a level head and focusing on what’s most important: school. I also am guilty of making an abundance of lists! I’m going to share this gift with my boyfriend. It’s our first Christmas together (after 13 years of friendship), and he helps keep me grounded and reminds me what the Christmas spirit is all about. I want to get him a memorable gift because he gives me the greatest gift of all 🙂
I manage my time by writing everything down! My planner is my bible, and it is a life saver when the holiday craziness begins! I love this watch and think my fitness loving best friend would as well!
I travel for work three days out of the week all over the states. Having my iPhone calendar and alarms on my phone keep me on time as well as able to still have time for all the fun things in life. Such as hitting the gym and running errands all before that lovely happy hour time with my girlfriends. Would be so excited to share a fancy new watch with my best friend Michelle 🙂
I manage my time by planning who I’ll see and when, long before I hop on the plane to fly home to my family and friends! I would share this amazing gift with one of my dearest friends who is also my workout partner and old college roommate!
I manage my time by making to do lists and trying to stick to a list of reasonable goals for the day. It has worked out pretty well 🙂
I’d share this prize with my sister, who could really use a watch, seeing as she’s always late when I pick her up.

My Lily planner, FitBit alarms, and an army of post-it notes keep me on top of everything! It takes an army! My #adventuretime travel buddy, Anna, is getting the other!
I just started my first full time job! So this holiday season will be a test to see how I handle all of my Christmas shopping and relaxing and enjoying this season. My goal is to focus on the relaxing part and enjoy hanging out with my family. That is more of a priority than getting super fancy gifts. BUT if I were to win a watch I would give it to my mom. She works harder than anyone I know but always has time for her kiddos.
I travel with work for a living as a CNA. So of course my work week is pretty busy along with being a single mother time gets away from me pretty fast! I manage my time by planning out my time before (usually at night) and have everything in a timed schedule along with my reminder alerts on my phone and tablet. (Thank goodness for our cell phones!?) I would love to share this with my best friend, Julie tyra! Thanks!?
I mange time by setting alarms and writing down everything in my planner and on sticky notes everywhere!! I put school work first, then exercise & finally relax at the end of the day. Keeping my priorities straight helps me manage time and get everything I need to done. I will share this gift with my best friend Ann Marie who is always helping me to stay on track and is who I spend most of my days with!
When the holiday season gets super busy, I always use the calendar on my phone and set reminders. The reminders on my phone are super helpful! I also write notes and appointments in my planner that I use for school so that I have a backup in case my phone is dead or if I happen to have my planner on me I can look at that. The holiday season is my favorite season of the year, and I cannot wait to spend it with my family and my boyfriend. This year, if I win, I would love to share this gift with my best friend back home, Jessica. Happy Holidays, Les! I’ve been a fan of yours since you were on the Bachelor. Hope al is well!
The holidays are busy for everybody, and it’s easy to get stressed and feel overwhelmed. I just started an internal yoga challenge (practice everyday (in studio or at home)) for the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas. I enjoy staying fit and relaxed and it makes the holidays WAY less stressful!
In terms of managing time – I’m old school…my desk is COVERED in post it notes with various lists! And of course prioritizing spending time with family and friends…work will always be there 🙂
I would share this gift with one of two people. Either my best friend Courtney, who I rarely see, but we always get to reconnect around the holidays just like old friends are able to 🙂 or my boyfriend, who lives a very active lifestyle, but is also a professional – this watch would be the perfect accessory to any business attire.
Thanks so much for your consideration 🙂 I’m on instagram as @skimmydipping!
Try not to get lost in the craziness and just go with the flow. I would love sharing this with my workout buddy Mariandrea.
I’m super excited about the holiday season and want to share it with my buddy Natasha!
I manage my time during the holiday season by trying to get a jump start on christmas shopping and decorating early! Being a college student means having to fly home for the holidays, and this year I had even purchased some christmas gifts for the fam to bring back with me at Thanksgiving! Overall, it makes the holiday season much more relaxing and enjoyable to know you have it all done ahead of time! I would love to share this Christmas gift with Lise Anderson this year! I am so happy to call her such a good friend 🙂
I manage my time by setting little individual goals or tasks to complete each day. It makes me feel accomplished and on top of things! I will be sharing this beautiful watch with my sister, Carleigh!
Millie faith Hatfield is my name:) I manage my time by planning fun activities that only come around once a year, and by being flexible enough to break my plans! Some of the most exiciting and fun things in life aren’t planned! I would love to share this watch with my best friend since first grade and workout buddy Johanna Andrews.
This season of peace seems to also be one of chaos sometimes! I manage my time during the holidays by sitting down each night with my husband and pausing to discuss our days and also be sure we are on the same page about the events of tomorrow. I would love to share this Christmas gift with my sweet sister in law, Sarah Nutt!
I manage my time during the holiday by procrastinating and doing it all in one day. Totally worth the stress of the one day.

During the busy holiday season I have so much to do! Between studying for finals, working as a nanny, training for my first 5k & trying to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list I need some me time! I like to curl up on the couch with a nice book & a glass of wine & just relax with my friends, roommates, boyfriend or family! I would share this gorgeous watch with my best friend, roommate & 5k training partner Beth! She keeps me going & pushes me when I need it!
Hello, my name is Jacqueline Zhou and I manage stress through the holiday season by planning. I plan what to do each day, set objectives and make sure to set time aside to have fun.
I would love to share this with my sister, Doris.

I manage my time during the holiday season with my cell phone unfortunately! I like to have the time always on me as I hate to be late so my phone has always been easiest. I’d love to win this watch and match with my long-time bestie, Nikki Prantil! We’ve been friends since middle school and even living on different continents can’t keep us apart. We love Lesley’s Instagram and I’ve loved her blog! Such a fun life she’s living. It definitely motivates me to live life to the fullest and enjoy the worlds beauty!
Hello. I manage my time during the busy holiday season by setting small goals I wish to achieve by the end of each day. This prevents me from slacking off all day and ensures I don’t get too behind on everything. I will be sharing this Christmas gift with my sister.
It’s so easy to get busy with things not important!! I try to prioritize, putting God first then family! Would love to share this gift with my friend, Ashley Goins!
I’m the queen of to-do lists! I check things off one by one and try not to get overwhelmed.
I’ll be sharing this gorgeous time piece with a coworker who deserves a little pick-me-up!
Hello! Managing my time during the holidays has become especially difficult since I began college at Penn State studying mechanical engineering. With finals falling right in the midst of the holiday season, it’s become so challenging to manage studying, wrapping up course projects, and Christmas shopping and remembering to enjoy this beautiful time of year. This watch would not only make an amazing gift for my best friend, Kylie Topp, but also help me manage my time and allow me to put down my cell phone and focus, rather than using it to constantly check the time. We have loved Lesley since we fell in love with her on the bachelor our senior year, and her dream life is always a topic of conversation when we reunite over the holidays!
I manage time with my phone, but having a stylist watch like this one would be amazing! I would give the other watch to my best friend my mom as I swear she has had the same watch for 20+ years because she continuously buys things for my me instead of for herself.
Hi! I try my best to plan ahead and keep everything listed on my calendar.
I’d love to share this with my friend, Lindsey, who still holds me accountable from half a country away!
hmm. Having been busier this holiday season than most, with work, a hobby that has become as demanding as a second job, and family and friend commitments, I’m not sure how well I’m managing. Sleep is definitely suffering, sadly. I would give the other watch to my stylish sister for whom I can never seem to find something she doesn’t already have.
Daily planner is my best friend during holiday season! Also planning ahead and going to the store for specific things, not just browsing.
And I would share this amazing gift with my husband, so that we are matching during our travels 🙂
Hello! My mobile phones helps me to manage all activities both personal and business.
This great Christmas gift I will share with my sweet little sister who is crazy about watches.
Google calendars and dessert help me and Sara Weeks stay sane during the Holidays! She will be getting one of these wonderful watches so she can be more punctual ?
I keep track of my activities and connitments the old fashioned way, with an agenda. I would love to give the second watch to my best friend and travel companion, my dear husband.
My outlook calendar is my best friend these days. I’d love to share this gift with my sister–she has a new baby and a career and always amazes me with how much shes keeps on a smile.
iPhone calendar and to do list!! I would share this gift with my best friend! Every day we look at the health app to compare steps for the day! It would be great to have a watch that would keep track of everything without having to carry a phone around!!
As Lindsey mentioned below, I sometimes lose track of time having fun {especially during the Holidays – so many festivities to enjoy}. Having a great friend like Lindsey helps me stay on track and ON TIME! She’s always great to remind me about fun events around town and things that might slip my mind during this busy season. These watches will help Lindsey stay on track, and will help encourage my punctuality! 🙂
During this super busy holiday season I use my planner and my phone to stay on top of all my commitments. My best friend Sara would love this watch. She loves being on time!
I’m still an old fashion list maker. There’s something satisfying about scratching things off your legal notepad list! I’m sharing this gift with my sister, Erin. She’s made the courageous choice of starting her journey towards a healthier lifestyle. We’ll be living close to each other for the first time in over 5 years this coming January. I’m incredibly excited!! This’ll be the perfect gift to knock out goals together!
Hi! I’m Heather Kubik. I TRY to manage my time through planning early and using lots of highlighters to color-coat my planner. But honestly, I love this time of year so much because of time with friends and family. I’d rather be fully present with the ones I love and not worry about all the stuff I "have to get done". Who cares if my house is a mess or if I eat too many cookies or if I haven’t showered in three days (thank goodness for Dry Shampoo!). If I get to spend quality time with my favorite people in life, than I call that excellent time management! Also, I plan to share this Christmas gift with Sammy Murray! (She has a beautiful heart and has been an incredible encouragement through our workouts together, even though she’s a thousand miles away).
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I know how stressful and crazy people can get throughout the holidays! Just always keep in mind what is the most important thing for you. It’s not always about getting and giving the best gifts! Even though it is fun to receive and make people’s day! I have my giant planner with me at all times and I try to make time for the most important people in my life which for me is my closest friends and my family. I would love to share the watch with my best friend Lindsay! God bless everyone , stay safe and have a very Merry Chriatmas and a HappyHolidays to all!
I don’t know what I would do without my planner! It helps to keep everything that I have to do in one place and helps me manage my time. I will share the gift with Amanda O’Neal. My name is Lauren Caron.
Happy Holidays! I just finished up my last college final to wrap up fall semester of senior year, so you could definitely say I’m in need of some Christmas cheer! (Or one of these watches;)) I always love any incentive to get myself moving, especially during Christmas break when a warm bed with hot chocolate and Netflix is where you can usually find me. So I would love to use this watch with my sister who I will be spending the season with to get us moving! FINGERS CROSSED 🙂
My iPhone calendar and to do lists are huge for me this time of year! I’d share this watch with my mom 🙂
Happy holidays!! The holidays are such a wonderful but busy time of year. I usually try to get all of my gift shopping out of the way on Black Friday with all the deals! That sure takes a lot of stress out of the picture. I try to manage my time well but I usually end up just putting work on the back burner so I can enjoy this time of year! I would be sharing this gift with one of my best friends, Mia, whom I have been spending most of my time with doing art projects in my garage this winter. It’s an easy way to stay occupied with the cold weather! Fingers crossed that we can share this gift this year!
Hi Lesley! I’m a nurse so my schedule is crazy! I don’t have a set schedule so I always use a calendar! I would love to share this gift with my sissy. She’s a nurse too and we both love wearing watches! Thanks for the chance!
I’ve had quite a different holiday season this year. As a graduate student I haven’t had much time to shop, bake or cook like in previous years but is this really what the holiday season is about? I’ve learned with my limited time that the holiday season is about appreciating relationships, telling people how much they mean to you and trying to make at least one person’s day a little better.
My favorite person to spend the holiday season with is my sister, Cathi. She is the most hard working, kindest soul and most charitable person I know. As a kindergarten teacher in a title 1 school, she works so hard to give her students a Christmas they might not experience at home. Even throughout the entire year she provides extra snacks, money for meals and endless love and support. I can attest to the fact that she is someone who can lift you up in 15 seconds with words of encouragement. I honestly don’t know anyone more deserving than her to receive such a special gift.

Work hard, play hard! Just gotta get everything done before you relax. No procrastination! I would share this Christmas gift with my twin sister! As a twin, she has been there for me every step of the way and I would love to show my appreciation and this is the perfect gift for her!
Thank you,
Jonathan Woo
My little sister, is in graduate school to become a physical therapist! She’s one of the most deserving individuals I know! We would love to have matching be watching and discuss our growth together!
As a fourth year in college, I’m slowly getting ready to graduate! (And hopefully have the opportunity to travel once I’m done) but for this holiday season, I am enjoying my time at home celebrating with my family! ❤️
Love this watch!!! Eek!
