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 wish there was no such thing as ‘passive-aggressive.’ If we have a disagreement, let’s talk it out and resolve it!Unfortunately, too often I am the passive -aggressive one! :(

    I wish my husband would tell me what he honestly thinks when I ask him, “Do I look okay?” He claims this is a loaded question as he often knows how often I spent looking for something or can tell I really love an outfit as well as he knows little about fashion. Still, I would love to hear exactly what he thinks because I know he has a different point of view (literally, too!) than me.

    I wish new moms were more honest with each other about what a difficult journey entering motherhood is, instead of constantly comparing milestones (yes, I was frequently asked, “What milestone are you at?” when my son was born last year) – I think it would make it feel less lonely and more familial! I felt like such a freak, with conflicting feelings of, “I am IN LOVE with this kid! He is AMAZING!” and “God, I miss sleep & just doing things when I want to!” – and it wasn’t until recently that my friends started being honest and admitting how incredibly hard those first six months were. I think it would have been so great to know that then! :o)

    I’LL BE HONEST! I wish my BF would be more honest when I ask him to critique my outfit before we go somewhere. Does this make me look frumpy? Do I look childish? Does it look like I’m trying too hard to be trendy? Sure, maybe he just doesn’t know, but I think he is exasperated and just wants to get me out of the house as soon as possible. :) Also, I luv Jessica Alba.

    I wish people would truly say why they are breaking up with the other person. It would save heartache and may seem harsh but obviously something wasn’t working.let’s get rid of the “its not you, its me” or “you’ll never find someone like me again”….that’s the point ;)
