***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 in Arizona, so when it’s blazing hot (right now) I use a tiny high-speed fan in the bathroom when I dry my hair and put on my makeup! Otherwise, my makeup melts off and my hair looks damp & sweaty!

Starting every morning by letting the dog outside. He gets his business taken care of and I get to enjoy a few minutes out in the cool crisp air before the temps rise into the 90’s around here.

I’m fresh! I love love love World Market!
When it’s super hot out, as it has been lately (plus we try not to turn on the AC in our third story apt, so it’s even hotter), I love to make iced tea! We have an ice tea maker that makes things really easy, and my husband has a huge tea collection, so we’re always trying to use up the less fancy stuff.
Sara says

Each morning instead of reaching for hot coffee, I make my own single cup iced tea with green tea steeped for 1 minute in 1/2 hot water and mixed with a little sweetener, then add ice and 1/4-1/2 C cold water. Refreshing!

Chrissy (The New Me) says
I’M FRESH!
Honestly, when it’s 105 every day in Texas, I have a hard time staying fresh. I think the best cure is a trip to the lake on the weekend, where I can submerge myself in cool water and hide from the merciless sun. Is it October yet?

Crisp, clean sheets on the bed, tall cool glasses of water with lemon, cucumber, or mint, and open-toed shoes keep me feeling that way.

I’m Fresh!!!!
To keep fresh in the nasty mugginess that is a Georgia summer, I love to use Dr. Bronner’s peppermint castile soap as a body wash. It is especially great and tingly after sweating from yard work.

I love drinking cucumber water in the summer. i cut up a cucumber into thin slices, and i put it in a small pitcher of water. Leave it in the fridge for a little bit, and you’ve got a delicious, refreshing drink.
