***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
This week’s giveaway comes to from two awesome sources of inspiration who are dishing out quite a worldly and wonderful prize for one lucky reader. First up is Fresh Home, one of the few magazines to buck the vanishing shelter pub trend and actually make its debut last year (you may have noticed them in our monthly sponsor shout out last week). This fresh quarterly mag focuses on home improvement and decor ideas for anyone with a finite budget who still wants to make their home beautiful. We can definitely relate. And in a genius turn of events, Fresh Home has teamed up with one of their (and our) favorite sources, Cost Plus World Market, to score an $100 gift card for one lucky YHL reader!
The great thing about Cost Plus World Market is that they’ve got such a wide range of offerings that you could practically do a whole room from there without it looking matchy-matchy in the least. They have everything from couches, coffee tables, and rugs to pillows, lighting, and accessories. Heck, we even purchased the seat cushions for our new office makeover and the rug in our master bedroom there.
So here’s the full monty on how you can enter this week:
- PRIZE: $100 gift card to Cost Plus World Market courtesy of CPWM and Fresh Home Magazine.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M FRESH” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … since the summer heat means feeling fresh is a rarity these days, why not tell us what you do to freshen up. A nice cool shower to start your day? A tall glass of lemonade when you come in from the heat? Or maybe a quick deodorant swipe or some mouthwash between meetings?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, August 18th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck…

Living in hot, humid, sticky Florida, I know it can be a challenge to stay fresh throughout those long summer days! I love popping a cool peppermint in the afternoon to perk me up and chase away heat-induced blahs. That and a tall iced tea with lemon. Ahhh… feeling cooler already….

A lukewarm bath before bed….super duper to cool down and it helps you sleep like a baby! (okay, well like a really tuckered out toddler who sleeps through the night anyway…)
Antje says
I’m FRESH!
So fresh and so clean! This is the first year that the humidity has gotten to me…I’m all for cool showers now, and the Kleenex wet wipes are my best friend. They are a great way to freshen up when I have to walk between buidlings for work (every day….) I really wish I had brought some today for this 100 degree weather…ugh.
Lindsay says
I’M FRESH! Iced coffee!
Kim says
I’m fresh!!!
I go for a run in the morning and get super sweaty nasty. Then I really can only go up in freshness from there! A shower helps…
Kayt says
I’m fresh!
We go laze around in our master bedroom. It’s the only room with AC in our house. I’m quite guilty of taking my toddler in there with the blackout curtains and reading in bed during the hottest part of the afternoon.
Julie says
I’m Fresh–Definitely a nice shower!
Catherine says

Not very exciting, but I just try to stay hydrated with LOTS of regular old filtered water in the summer.

We have been known to jump in the swimming pool. Does not take too long to dry off.

I’m fresh … sit inside in the air conditioning, right under the ceiling fan on full blast… away from the 105+ degree weather here in Texas.
Kelly says

Get up extra early to walk the dog and water the yard before the heat arrives.
