***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!
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.
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 make sure to bring an iced drink when I leave home. So much cheaper than buying something every time I get hot/thirsty. Oh, and I never wear tight or long pants in the summer….I don’t know how people do it but I feel like having a heat stroke when I go out like that. So sweaty!
Anna Taylor says

I would have to say that a new brew of tea each morning and then of course a nice cold face wash always makes me feel fresh and ready to go!

I’M FRESH!
I love, love, LOVE summer! I love to go to the farmer’s market and buy the amazing salsa kits from the organic produce stand and then make a big batch of fresh and cooling salsa to munch on. It’s a family summertime favorite in our household! :)
Dawn S says
I’m fresh!
Mid-day I like a nice, ice cold, fizzy soda to perk me up and cool me off when I need refreshing after being out in the summer heat.
But the best refreshment is a nice warm bath before bed. Going to bed with my wet hair keeps me cool through the night, helps me go to bed relaxed from the bath, and saves time to get ready in the morning!
Jackie R says
I’m fresh! There is nothing like the minty-freshness of just-brushed teeth.

I’m Fresh! I like a nice tall glass of iced tea to cool of in the afternoon.

So many options: sometimes a Milky Way espresso (yes, hot!) or some iced sweet passionfruit tea, or ice cream. They’ve all been staples for me this summer. :-)
Lucas says
I’m soo fresh! My wife makes an awesome iced coffee using our nespresso machine… followed by relaxing underneath the fan in our living room. Perfect way to cool down!

I’M FRESH…
I like a nice cold Coca Cola to cool down on a really hot day!
Tiffany Morrison says
I’m FRESH and tangy! I keep fresh during the hot summer months by running 4 miles on one Knoxville’s greenways, during my lunch break and then take a revitalizing cool shower before heading back to work. The run boosts my energy and the shower keeps me fresh, cool and smelling rather springy. Love your blog, have totally referenced it during my own remodeling challenges. Thanks for sharing!!
Amber C says
I’M FRESH!
I miss having my sweet tea on my screened in porch on hot days like today! (Caffeine-free right now because we’re expecting!)
Ris says
I’M FRESH!
Taking a cool shower has been instrumental in keeping cool this summer. It also saves energy–the hot water heater doesn’t have be to used to heat up my shower! I’ll probably change my tune once winter arrives in Chicago but for now I’m loving the cool showers.
Dee says
I’M FRESH!
Neutrogena wipes – great for freshening up in the hot summer months!
Stormy Smith says
I’m Fresh!
A glass of white wine after a long day!
