Fab Freebie: Here’s Looking At You, Mate

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Good news: everyone can get 10% off their MirrorMate order with code VIRAL. And if they get 1000 new Facebook followers or new email subscribers, that code doubles to 20% for everyone. But here’s the better news (at least for one of you): random.org has chosen our winner as… Jessica (who says she’s usually checking the mirror to “make sure nothing is obviously out of place or gross”). Congrats!

So maybe I fudged that line from Casablanca a little. Thanks for letting it slide. It’s turning out to be a mirror-tastic day today, so if you’re stuck with a basic builder mirror that’s held up unceremoniously by dinky plastic clips, this is your shot to score an easy and elegant upgrade thanks to MirrorMate. You can customize a frame that sticks right over your existing clips, for a nice little mirror makeover. Check out more before & afters (and shop their collection of frame styles) here on their site (and on their Facebook page).

Mirror Mate Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $200 gift certificate to MirrorMate, which will cover most frames.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “LOOK AT ME! and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … confess what you spend the most time looking at when you’re in front of a mirror. Are you always fixing your hair? Doing outfit checks? Making sure nothing’s in your teeth. Or – be honest – are you constantly leaning in to examine every last pore on your face?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 8th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The US and Canada
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from MirrorMate.

    “LOOK AT ME!”
    I honestly don’t know what I spend the most time looking at, but my favorite thing to look at in the mirror are my 2 girls. My 8 month old loves the mirror, especially when she can see me in it too!

    LOOK AT ME!

    I’m usually using my mirror to spy on what my dogs are doing. I can see my bathroom mirror from my office, and it faces directly to my bed, which is where my dogs spend the day (covering my bed in hair and their favorite toys, snoozing, and looking out the window).

    I must say I’m extra excited about this give-away as we are getting ready to redo our main bath and need to upgrade our plain old mirrors!

    Hubby and I are hoping to frame both builder-standard (i.e. plain ol’ boring!) mirrors in both our bathrooms soon! Please help us out!

    As for me, I check out way too much in the mirror: do I have a muffin top? Is there anything in my teeth? Up my nose? Hairs needing plucked? Zits needing concealed? Plaque needing flossed? Bra strap needing hidden?

    I actually hired someone to make a frame to go over the ugly builder mirror in the kids bathroom. It made a HUGE difference. Now I need my masterbath mirror updated.

    I usually check my teeth. I like to make sure I’m not sporting anything but my sunny smile in there.

    I am addicted to your blog. Guess it is a safe thing to be addicted to. If I were to do a blog it would have to be called Old House Still in Love. Might work???
