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! To freshen up quickly I like to use mouthwash periodically during the day. The little travel-sized bottles that the dentist gives out (or cost about $1 at Target/Walmart) are just the right size to keep in my purse or desk!

    On a hot summer day, I freshen up my riding my bike to Lake Michigan (only a mile and a half from my house) and jumping in for a swim!

    A quick splash of water on the face does it for me. It makes me feel clean and refreshed esp in the afternoon at work.

    I love to have a glass of sparkling water on ice, with a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice. It’s refreshing AND healthy!

    In the heat of the summer I like to search for the best iced tea or icea coffee I can fine. So far I’m LOVING the McDonald’s Sweet Tea and the Dunkin Donuts Iced Mocha Latte!! MMmmmmmmm

    I’m fresh! To feel the freshest today, I just remember the aqua accent wall I just barely painted in my bathroom. Its so bright that I have to blink a couple of times to let my eyes adjust once I exit the bathroom… but it just makes my soul feel super fresh! I love it!

    I’M FRESH! I absolutely have to stand in the shower, gazing out the window every morning. Admiring the palm trees and blue sky is so refreshing and helps me to remember what is important before I start my day.

    Ice cream – Nothing beats a scoop of mint chocolate chip on a cone while sitting outside with friends as the sun goes down. :)

    A thin cool cucumber slice stuck on the forhead. My grampa used to do it for us on hot days when we were kids!

    Living in AZ we know heat…it’s 110, and that’s hot even with the “dry heat” idea…and I think that’s strictly a spin the chamber of commerce puts on it. ;-)

    We use misters on the patios to help things cool off. Really works!

    I like to get disgustingly sweaty in hot yoga and then take a shower. A nice Arnold Palmer seals the deal. After that routine I am the most refreshed I have ever felt, barring Caribbean vacations (which regretfully are not everyday). ;)

    I’M FRESH. A nice refreshing glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice….oranges, kiwis, apples, you name it! And also meditating – nothing beats the inside-out feeling of freshness that a meditation, however short or long, can bring.

    Long walk with the dogs in Central Park and a (big!) glass of chilled white wine on the balcony.

    I’m Fresh! I am glad I found your site. You have so many inspiring ideas. I live in hot hot Florida, so I keep cool by getting in my pool. Even though the water it 88 degrees right now, it’s still better than the air temp.

    I like an ice cold glass of seltzer, yes plain old seltzer, a little weird but super refreshing!

    As a brand new mom and new first time homeowner (way too many projects to tackle). To freshen up I give the baby his bath, feed him and take a MUCH needed shower when he is napping. Sometimes I even get a chance to shave my legs :) Now my husband can come home to the woman he married, not a zombie in sweatpants!

    I’m FRESH! My favorite way to cool down after a long and hot summer day is a nice chilly Blue Moon with a slice of orange in it. Yummy :)

    I’M FRESH!

    I’ve kept walking in the heat by choosing a route that’s entirely in the shade, even if I have to cross the street “unnecessarily” to find it! A tall glass of water or a cold Zevia soda helps, too.
