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! We’ve definitely been spending a lot more time in our basement this summer. We have a 3-story town house, and the top floor can get hot at times. The basement (where we have our TV, games, and a desk for projects) keeps us nice and cool!

    I’M FRESH … with a liter of cool water and a cold-scrub shower after an afternoon bike ride through the park near my home. After all, it feels better when you feel you’ve worked for it!

    I’m fresh! We’ve been baking here in Nebraska so when the oven gets turned up, we tend to jump into the kiddos’ pool out back. It’s big enough for all four of us and they get to wear themselves out. Can you say win-win?!

    I’m Fresh!!! While I am not a fan of cold showers, there comes an appropriate time for them after being out in this heat or an exhaustive workout!

    I’M FRESH

    A tall glass of ice water along with some fresh, in-season produce – blueberries, cherry tomatoes, a peach – keeps me cool but thankful for what the heat has to offer.

    I’M FRESH! There’s nothing I can do at this point to stay fresh here in the Arizona desert. I’m 39 weeks pregnant and sweat constantly unless I literally live in the pool!

    I’m FRESH! And, my 1939 home could use a little freshening up! I freshen up with a giant glass of ice water with lemon during the day and glasss of sauvignon blanc at night!

    I’m Fresh! Frozen grapes…a delicacy I discovered while due-any-day-now- pregnant 11 years ago in hot, humid July. Green or red grapes both are refreshing sweet treat when frozen!

    I’M FRESH! I’ve been surviving the DC heat wave this summer in our slightly air conditioned (read: window units…ugh!) Capitol Hill apartment by taking luke-warm to downright cold showers all summer. I literally cannot remember the last time I had a hot shower! :) Upside to a chilly shower in a hot apartment? Warm towels when you get out!

    By the way, this week’s freebie excites the BEJEESUS out of me. I love World Market!!!

    I like to enjoy a chocolate – vanilla soft serve ice cream cone to cool off during the hot summer months.

    I’M FRESH! I drink lots of ice tea to stay fresh and cool. We haven’t had a lot of hot, hot days here in NY so I can’t complain.

    I’M FRESH….. OH SO FRESH. I like to have a nice refreshing glass of cucumber water to help freshen me up. It reminds me of being at the spa and who doesn’t fell refreshed after a nice spa day.

    I’M FRESH. I keep a giant Nalgene bottle full of water at my fingertips all day! Keeps me feeling fresh and hydrated and ready for my afternoon run!

    I’m fresh! I have a refreshing tea tree spray from Lush that I spritz on my face whenever I need to wake up a bit. Even better when kept in the fridge.

    I’M FRESH! A quick shower does the trick. And, with an eleven week old, it doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold. I’ll take what I can get–it works wonders either way. :)

    I’M FRESH! I like to make homemade popsicles, my fave is grapefruit tarragon, but the cold shower or a dip in the pool are the best ways to stay cool :)

    I’M FRESH
    I like a quick jump in the pool (not that I have one!) so a quick jump in a cool shower will have to do :)

    I’m fresh! And I’ve been doing a lot of staying inside where it’s air conditioned this summer, it’s been HOT!

    I’m 35 weeks pregnant, and I’m always the hottest in the room (temperature wise people, come on). We’ve been trying to cut back on our electric bill, so we have been adding ceiling fans to each room in our house. Enjoying a nice cold homemade smoothie is also another favorite way to keep cool!

    I’m fresh… and to stay cool in the summer I eat frozen yogurt. I freeze the Dannon Danonino yogurts (the little ones), and I swear they taste better than ice cream. I think I eat them more than my kids do!
