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.

    My usual ways of cooling down (sans A/C) is a nice cool drink and cold fruit.

    Since I’m living without air conditioning, sometimes I get my hair wet before going to bed. Makes everything feel so much nicer.

    I’m so FRESH!! :]

    When this Georgia heat or Texas heat (Hometownnnn!) get to me I love to enjoy a nice glass of sweet tea. Once I add the ice cubes I stir the tea with a knife…the metal makes the ice react faster and cools your drink down immediately.

    Sara!

    I’m fresh … and started taking a cue from my husband who, immediately after finishing yard work or some other outdoor task, strips off his clothes and jumps right into the pool! Luckily we have a very private backyard, but I still thought he was a little crazy until I tried it one day – and nothing feels better than jumping into that cool water after working under the hot Phoenix sun for a few hours!!

    I’m FRESH! I live in Seattle and most of us don’t have air conditioning, so on the very few days when it’s hot (like today it’s 90!) I tend to sit on the floor in front of my fan for most of the day. A nice splash of cold water on the face helps too.

    I’M FRESH… and we LIVE at the pool in the summer. We’re in Houston and its scorching pretty much year round but for some reason they only think pools should be open in the summer? Every day after my little naps we hit the pool for a couple hours to cool of and have some fun! Great giveaway, LOVE World Market and could definitely use this!
