Fab Freebie: Market Fresh

***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!

Fresh Home Mag 1

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.

Fresh Home World Market

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…

    & I just give my boys a bath or let them play outside in the kiddie pool. They splash so much that anyone within 5 feet gets soaked!

    I have been enjoying fresh lemonade with mint, and sometimes with a bit of vodka thrown in. Very refreshing! :)

    I drive to the Central California Coast where it is always a nice temperature compared to over 100 degrees in Central California.

    I’M FRESH and I love to make Watermelon Agua Fresca to stay cool while 8 months pregnant and no air conditioning.

    My little Zippi fan helps me (and my laptop) stay cool while working.
    Cooler showers and billowy shirts are also a help.
    My favorite cool-down method, however, is a VENTI Iced Green Tea Lemonade. I get the tea unsweetened, so it’s tangy and grassy as well as lemony fresh. Highly recommended!

    This summer I have been loving Arnold Palmers (half lemonade, half sweet tea) as my go-to cool-down drink! Delish!

    It’s hard to stay fresh in Phoenix where the average summer temp is 107 degrees…to stay fresh we jump in the 92 degree pool!

    A daily dose of Mickey D’s sweet tea (dollar menu) has gotten me through some very hot days in Richmond this summer. Hubby asks why I buy theirs when I can (and do) make great sweet tea at home. My answer, “It’s the experience.” Love our local Mickey D’s and the wonderful workers we’ve gotten to know there. And if you’re really lucky, someday my daughter and I will perform the rap song we wrote and sang for the grand (re)opening of our local Mickey D’s. :-)

    I’M FRESH! I enjoy a cool shower in the morning or after working outside and a change of clothes after work to freshen up.

    I eat a slice of cantelope or watermelon and take a dip in the cement pond to beat the heat and feel refreshed!

    “I’m fresh! After a workout on the elliptical I love to stand in the doorway of our freezer. The artic blast is the best.

    I’M FRESH…to stay cool in the hot Houston humidity/heat, I drink lots of ice cold water. It’s the best!

    I’M FRESH!! I love, love, love banana slushies in the summer to cool off…I probably consume an extra 500 calories a week in the summer thanks to those things!

    I am from the south so nothing cools me off better than a nice big glass of sweet iced tea! :)

    I’M FRESH. These dog days of summer I’ve been making homemade popsicles to freshen things up and keep me cool.

    I hop in the pool…even though the water temp is warm, it makes the 115 degree air temp feel much cooler!

    FRESH-ly married, and when I need to cool down in this insane Texas heat, I make my hubby turn the air conditioner on high (even though he hates the electric bills)!

    “I’m Fresh” I love sitting by the fan with a cold glass of water or diet coke. It’s so refreshing to me!

    To combat the triple digit heat of Texas I splash some cold water on my face (sounds simple, but it helps!)

    I’M FRESH! and I was just in World Market, drooling over several things. Usually on the hottest days I stay inside, but if I have to be outside, I use a tip I got from a trip to Jamaica…poolside they would bring by a cooler full of face towels in ice cold water and some lavender oil. Drape one of those around your neck and stay cooool! Easy to do at home.

    Living in hot and sunny Florida, a big cup of frozen yogurt with fresh fruit always hits the spot!
