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…

See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Cost Plus World Market and Fresh Home Magazine.

    Unfortunately my office has decided that it is fun to keep the thermostat at frigid so I actually enjoy my long walk to the car at the end of the day where I can start to thaw in the blazing heat. Otherwise, I make sure to always wear deodorant, drink lots of water and think cool thoughts!

    I like to cool down with tall glasses of cold water (no ice) throughout the day. At the end of the day, the kids and I sit on the edge of the tub and wash our feet and rub in some Burt’s Bees Peppermint Foot Lotion so our toes feel cool, clean, and tingly!

    I rock a cute up-do when the weather gets hot! I purchase plain barettes, bobby pins and hair ties from the dollar store and then jazzed them up with all kinds of stuff from buttons to sparkles to fake flowers!

    I’ve also been known to wear a jazzed up hair tie as a bracelet….if it compliments the outfit, why not!

    My favorite way to stay FRESH in the summer is to walk down the street and grab some low fat frozen yogurt! Reminds me of when I was young and on a hot summer night my mom would let us choose popsicles, icecream etc. as a cool treat after dinner! Oh to be young again………
