Fab Freebie: Let’s Be Honest

*** This giveaway is closed – see who won below!***

The randomly-selected-and-very-lucky lady in this week’s giveaways is… BeccaK (who wishes “I could trust the lube & oil folks when I go for an oil change – is a radiator flush REALLY necessary?”) I’m with ya on that one Becca. Congrats!

As much as we love a good looking home, we also like ours to be as good for the Bean and the Burger as possible. So this week we’re dishing out $500 worth of products from The Honest Company to keep your casa clean and green. You may know this family-friendly company thanks of their familiar-faced co-founder, the lovely Jessica Alba. And when you check out their online shop – which spans baby & body care to cleaning products – you’ll see words like organic, non-toxic, reusable, and plant-based peppered throughout… and they also donate time, money, and product to charity. So this week’s winner can go to town on their site with a $500 credit (might we suggest treating yourself to a year’s worth of their family bundle subscription?).

  • PRIZE: $500 of product from The Honest Company
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’LL BE HONEST!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … something you wish people had to be honest about answering (think Jim Carrey in Liar Liar). Do you wish people couldn’t sugarcoat the answer to “does this make me look fat?” Do you wish repairmen (or women) had to give you a straight answer about when they’ll actually show up? Do you wish you could finally get your parents to fess up to who their favorite child is?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Aug 15th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • DISCOUNT: $10 off orders of $50 or more with code YHL10off50 (good through Aug 20th, valid on first purchase for new members)
  • 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 winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of The Honest Company.

      You should definitely find a more honest mechanic! My husband is a Honda technician and they always tells people what needs to be done NOW (to pass state inspections, for example) and what is recommended, but can wait. But remember, their livelihood is based on up-selling, so that’s something they’ll always do. Most mechanics aren’t paid salary or even hourly, they’re only paid when they have a car to work on.

    I’ll be honest. I wish people would be honest about how they feel. I mean that seems pretty generic, but I think 95% of conflict could be avoided if people would just be open and communicate!

    I’ll be honest! Because I’m thinking about it…I sometimes cheat and dry my cloth diapers. I know, it’s terrible!

    Speaking of which, anyone know how the honest detergent would do with cloth diapers?

    Why choose one? Why can’t people just be honest about everything? I like to think it’s one of the reasons my life is simpler.

    I’ll be honest…I wish my little brother would only get job offers closer to our family instead of on the other side of the country…in essence I guess it means I honestly want him to “fail” to a certain extent so that he’ll move closer to the rest of us!

    I’ll be honest… I wish people would say what they mean outright, instead of tip-toeing around it with a passive-aggressive comment that needs deciphering!

    “I’ll be honest” When I go looking for a job in a year I’d like them to be honest about if they are going to hire me or not. Also straight out tell me how much money I’ll be making, like within the first 15 minutes. That’s why we work isn’t it?!

    I’LL BE HONEST! I wish that car repair shops were more honest. I hate going in for an oil change and being told that I need a ton of additional things done.

      Hey – as the wife of a mechanic… they are actually required to tell you every single thing that your car needs. Yes, they want to up-sell you, but it’s also for liability reasons. If something would cause your car to malfunction, resulting in an accident/injury and they didn’t tell you at your last inspection, they could actually get sued. So they may just be covering their own butts :-)

    I’LL BE HONEST!

    I wish people would be honest about my cooking/baking. I promise it won’t hurt my feelings if you HATE the {insert new recipe} here b/c then I won’t waste my time making it again!

    Thanks for hosting this giveaway. I heart JA!

    I’LL BE HONEST….

    I HATE going to the auto body place because they see a young(ish) girl coming from a mile away. They lie to me all the time and tell me my car needs fixed when it’s just fine! I wish they were honest and told me what’s really wrong instead of just trying to take money from me. Blah.

    I’LL BE HONEST! I wish people all over would be more honest in general! but it would also be nice is people didn’t sugarcoat the answer to “how do I look?” I really want to know!
