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?).

Honest Co Giveaway

  • 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.

    I agree with what lots of others have said: politicians being honest, “factual” news vs. entertainment news, etc.

    I’LL BE HONEST! I wish the talking heads on the news networks would just be honest. Probably why I watch the Daily Show.

    I wish AT&T would honestly give me their absolute lowest rate every time I call. Instead, I am given the run-around and am on the phone at least an hour every time. Ugh..

    I wish people would really be honest when someone asks “How are you?” – I think it would create so many opportunities to encourage and build people up when they are having a rough day!

    Just tell it to me straight, home or car repair people. That bad karma will come back to you! :)

    Agreeing on the politician front. I’m not huge on politics in general, but honesty from the people running our country would be nice. Sad to think that isn’t already standard practice!

    Love the giveaway! I’ve been wanting to try the line for awhile now.

    I’ll be honest, I’d appreciate more honesty from repair men/women of all things–hate feeling like you’re getting cheated!

    I wish people would be honest when someone asks how they are doing. “Hi! How are you?” Great! How are you” gets SO old after a while …

    Family and best friends should always be honest with one another. Unconditional love shouldn’t include lies.

    It would be great if people wouldn’t lie to themselves. I think that you can look internally for the answers to most of the questions we sometimes ask others. I’m working on always being honest with myself!

    I wish people actually answered honestly when asked “how are you?” – if people bother to answer at all – it is always “good”. I realize this is usually said in passing, but I still feel this well-intended greeting has lost all meaning.

    I wish politicians were actually honest and didn’t tell us just what they think we want to hear.

    In no particular order – politicians, mechanics (there needs to be more than just mine that’s honest, right?), and news shows (you know who I’m talkin’ ’bout).

    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 – copied directly from Carrie/2:44 p.m. because she said it perfectly!

    “I’ll be honest!” I wish my mom would be honest about needing help (she’s almost 87). She wants to do everything herself and doesn’t want to accept help.

    I wish people would say if they really want to help/be involved in a commitment instead of feeling obligated to do it.

    I’LL BE HONEST! I wish i could get a real, honest answer to “what do you want for dinner?” “i don’t know, what do you want??” is not helpful.

    I agree with some others. I wish people would say how they’re really doing. Hiding feelings has never done anyone any good!

    I’ll be honest! I wish that people would be honest when you ask them how they are…I find it so refreshing when people say “Actually I’m pretty crappy, thanks for asking!”

    I’LL BE HONEST! This country would be a better place if politicians were honest about what needed to be done instead of overpromising to procure votes.

    It is hard to see the mud-slinging in this election! I wish there were more civil, honest exchange between the parties.

    I’ll be honest…I wish job searching were easier. I work as a Career Counselor and as easy as it is to motivate others to apply to jobs, I’m terrible at motivating myself!

    I’LL BE HONEST [please]!

    Hm this is a tough one…. So only because I just turned the big 3-0 and it’s been on my mind, I wish people would be more honest (with themselves, mostly) about their true feelings with regards to having kids. Say no more to societal pressure! OK, I think that’s a bit deep for 23:00 Hong Kong time zone from which I currently am writing. Sorry! Haha.

    I wish people would give honest feedback all around. Too many times people give diplomatic answers too questions that need candid responses.
