***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 like to freshen up during the day with some sort of cooling facial mist like the lavender facial spray from Burt’s Bees or Jurlique’s chamomile soothing mist. Also, sipping cucumber-flavored water throughout the day is a must!

After growing up in VA, I find these New England summers to be quite comfortable! But the apartment can get stuffy(central AC is hard to come by up North!), so we keep cool with lots of mint iced tea! Yum!

I’M FRESH!
A few spritzes of cool water that has fresh lavender in it, kept in a re-usable spray bottle in the fridge, instantly makes my skin feel cooler, and I smell the lavender rather than the earlier portion of my day! Also great to freshen up the smell in any room!

Being from New England originally the only way for me to really cool off is to get an iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts. Although they are much harder to find down here.

If I need something a little more substantial than water to cool off and keep me going, nothing beats a homemade smoothie with frozen berries, yogurt, orange juice and a banana. It cools you down from the inside out!

IM FRESH!
I take an extra shower before bed. I sleep better and feel fresher!
Deborah says
I’M FRESH!
When there’s no time for a shower, a puff of Shower to Shower or other absorbent powder can really absorb that sticky feeling away. Remember those old commercials? It may not be a top of mind beauty tip these days but it works with or without the commercials saying so.
