***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 love a cool shower in the summer — when your car doesn’t have AC and the system in your apartment is lacking, you do everything you can!

Beth says
I’m fresh!
Moving to Colorado after living in Texas for over five years definitely has me appreciating the cooler temps we enjoy here during the summer. Still, when the heat strikes my hair doesn’t cooperate… Enter a cute ponytail! I tend to twist or braid a front section of my hair before pulling it back when a hot blow dryer and straight iron don’t seem too appealing because of the weather. It helps me from getting the hot weather hair blues!

Pamzella says
I’m fresh! I’m fond of a nice-smelling facial toner like Alba when I need to freshen up mid-day, and putting lime in water or iced tea, which is not only refreshing but gets me to drink more water and stay hydrated. Do not underestimate the value of a fabulous glass to drink from!
