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!

    A/C baby! I grew up in a house without it, but now I need it to survive our hot and humid midwest summers.

    Except, really, I’m not all that fresh. The St. Louis humidity makes sure of that. It seems like no matter what I may do to freshen up, 5 minutes later, I’m sweating. So, I’ve decided just to go with it until autumn finally arrives.

    I’M FRESH because I only eat natural food.

    And I stay fresh in the summer by running in the morning, while the humidity is down, so I can focus on my daily goals with a clear head. No fog head because of the humidity or heat :)

    I’m training for a marathon right now… so I get up SUPER early to run before the heat hits. A cold shower right after and I’m good to go!

    I’m fresh! My day begins with a short shower and ends with a long shower. I also love to wear comfortable cotton during these hot days :)

    I’M FRESH!!

    My puppies and I like to munch on ice cubes, it’s quick and easy to grab from the freezer and the dogs think they are getting a special treat!

    I’M FRESH…after a good brush of the teeth! Minty (and clean) freshness is that best! (Opening the blinds and windows is another way to feel fresh!)

    I enjoy cooling off after a long day with a blended margarita and chips/salsa while listening to the cicadas in the back yard.

    I’M FRESH and I love this post b/c my two latest obsessions are YHL and World Market! I just bought five of the same curtain panels from World Market–two to hang over my window and three for the fabric so that I can make matching pillow shams and a bed skirt for my bed!

    I’ve been staying cool with iced coffee. I make a big pitcher and keep it in my fridge, so I don’t have to worry about the ice melting. :)

    I’M FRESH! Although it has been a pretty cool summer here in Southern California, jumping in the ocean with my son on Boogie Boards was a nice way to feel fresh after a day cooped up in the house.

    My favorite thing to freshen up is a smoothie. I’ve been having one everyday with tons of fruit it in, thankfully it’s the summer so I can get super fresh delicious fruit!

    I wear sandals every day to work so when I get home the first thing I do is wipe down my feet with cooling foot wipes. Cleans them as well as leaves them tingly and cool.

    I stay cool in the hot summer months by spending half my paycheck on my electricity bill (gotta love that air conditioning!!!)

    After a hot day, I like to take a slightly cool shower and use Dr. Bronners peppermint soap. I always feel fresh and clean afterward.

    I’m Fresh! To instantly feel refreshed (and go into chill mode), after a long day at the office, I kick off my “work” shoes and put on a cool and pretty pair of simple sandals. Nothing like giving the tootsies a breath of fresh air.

    I’M FRESH because I change into clean, crisp clothes when the heat gets to be too much! We do a lot more laundry than usual in the summer. :)

    I’M FRESH!

    Here in Tucson, there’s no such thing as a cool shower in the summer. The groundwater comes out of the cold tap feeling like bathwater! Given we’ve been 100+ degrees for a couple months I’m sad to say I just hide out in the A/C. I can’t wait for Sept/Oct!!!

    BTW – saw you guys in the Detroit News (online) today. It was funny/strange to see you out of the normal context! :-)
