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’M FRESH! I like to go for a dip in our backyard pool — After two years of planning, saving, designing and landscaping, nothing beats it!

    I’M FRESH! And slightly tipsy!

    Ok, I’m not tipsy *right now* but I might be later today when I make the cocktail that’s been getting me through this super hot summer. :)

    It is easy and delicious:
    1 – 1 ½ cups chopped strawberries
    1 ½ tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
    1 bottle Prosecco sparkling wine or 3 cups sparkling water

    Basil simple Syrup
    ½ cup sugar
    ½ cup water
    4-5 basil stems
    ½ cup minced basil

    I always double this recipe. Simmer the water, sugar and basil for about a minute. Remove from heat, store in an airtight container and cool overnight. Next day, remove basil stems and pour syrup into food processor with strawberries, white balsamic vinegar and minced basil. Process till you’re happy with the consistency, pour into a pitcher – add prosecco – serve over ice. So good! You have to try it!

    I’m FRESH!

    I sit on our screened in porch with the ceiling fan on HIGH! Even on the hottest and muggiest of St. Louis days, it does the trick!

    Love your site :)

    I’M FRESH! What I love to do to get fresh is to find the shade…at the beach it’s under a colorful umbrella, at home it’s working on my painting projects under the tree shade in the driveway.

    I’M FRESH! And to stay sweet-smelling and sweat-free, after I’m done with yoga class post-work, I walk over to my theater and hop in the shower in the dressing room. Just a quick, cool blast of water, and I’m ready for rehearsal!

    I’M FRESH! Ice cream is the best, although when I’m feeling healthy, some chilled fruit hits the spot, too.

    I’m FRESH! I’ve been training for a half marathon, doing my long runs early in the morning – nothing is more refreshing than a cool shower after a 9 mile run!

    I’m Fresh!

    We just scored a set of rocket-shaped popsicle molds, so with another 90+ degree day looming, I’m excited to stay fresh with the cherry chocolate chip rocket pops in my freezer!

    I’M FRESH! I love to stay “fresh” on hot summer days by picking some fresh mint leaves from the garden and smashing them up in whatever cool drink I’m enjoying – it goes well in iced tea, juice, or (my fav) water with a splash of lime.
