***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…

Erica S says
I’M FRESH
When working outside in the garden, I turn the hose onto my calves & feet. It is amazing how cooling off my tootsies can make me feel so much better!

A nice tall glass of watermelon lemon-aid- such a great combo of two of my favorite things!

To keep cool in the summer I keep a box of chocolate mints in the Fridge. Its a refreshingly cool treat when you take a bite, and the mint makes the cool feeling last even longer!

It’s HOT in Alabama right now, but a nice cold sweet tea or iced coffee definitely helps!

To deal with the sticky sweaty heat of Manhattan I run my wrists under cold water and try to avoid the even hotter subway platforms of the city. Yuck!

Arielle says
I’M FRESH!
I can’t resist ice cream on a hot, summer day! We recently found a local place that makes all of their own ice cream, including my favorite- black licorice! I know, that makes most people want to gag. For me, it’s the perfect way to freshen up a summer day!

I’M FRESH
courtney says
I’M FRESH… A cool shower is the easiest and most common way for me to refresh after a hot day, but a jump in a lake is the longest-lasting refreshing feeling… it feels like it lowers my body temperature so I can survive the heat!
Tammy says
I’m fresh…and a couple of things I do to feel re-freshed are…a “quick swipe of deodorant”, a towel off with a watermelon scented baby wipe, a refreshing lemonade or diet cherry limeade from Sonic, and after a hot run…a bandana with ice wrapped inside and tied around my neck…ahhh..
Felicita Classen says
I’m Fresh!

Katharine says
Oh dude. World Market is my favorite store. I DID furnish practically our whole living room from there, and I’ve had my eye on a new desk for some time so…
I’M FRESH!
And to keep so… I’ve actually started doing the reverse of what you suggested. I shower in the late afternoon/evening, after I’ve spent all day cooking/canningtidying/picking stuff in the garden/making art/working (I work from home). It feels like such a treat to get nice and clean as a reward for all my hard work. And then I put on some fresh clothes, put my hair up, and sit down with a nice cold beer.
Nadia says
I’m fresh! We have “water play” with our 18-month old to cool off!
Stephanie says

I’M FRESH! For a fresh twist, I love to puree leftover watermelon (the pink parts close to the rind) and pour the juice into ice cube molds. Pop a few cubes in lemonade, gin and tonic, eat them plain… mmmmm summer :)

We have had a serious lack of Nor Cal heat this year– but nothing beats running through the sprinklers with my toddler in the back yard after work and before dinner.
