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!!!

    Nothing like laying on the cool tile floor after I take the pup out for our evening run (and chugging water of course)–and she likes to cool off in the sprinkler!

    Thanks to a wedding gift, we’ve been staying cool this summer making lots of homemade ice cream!

    I’M FRESH! The only way I feel refreshed after this insane St. Louis humidity is to take a shower. I love going to be feeling clean!

    I’M FRESH! My standby is keeping a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator. And if that doesn’t work, heading on down to the basement to cool off!

    And I guess I just run from air conditioned spot to air conditioned spot when Los Angeles gets too hot for me. hehe. :)

    I absolutely love staying fresh in the summer by asking my wonderful husband of two months to use his mad barista skills to whip me up a refreshing strawberry lemonade!!

    I’M FRESH!!! In the morning, I love taking a cold shower and then during the day, I spritz some body splash that is quite delicious to help freshen me up!

    “I’m fresh”

    I like to put on grubbies and go water things outside. I can watch the birds, see what’s blooming and de stress after a long day at the office (a busy pediatric practice)

    To freshen up, I usually just drink sun tea on ice while sitting in an air-conditioned living room. (I live in California, so we open up windows at night, close them early in the morning and close all the blinds. Even so, about 3 pm, we’ve gotta turn on the AC to beat the 100+ days we get)

    I’M FRESH…and so clean :-)

    Let’s see…if it’s super hot out, I usually stay indoors on the couch with the fan blowing on me. If it’s really toasty, I love a nice cool shower, or even placing an ice back on the back of my neck!!!

    I like to take a break during the day to check the blogs I’ve subscribed to. I may read a few too many!

    I love taking my shoes off as soon as I get in the house. At the end of the day, it just cools me off for some reason. Maybe because I have cool hardwood floors. I also like to keep the blinds closed and have plenty of lamp light in the house. Weird, I know.

    In the Summer I love to stay cool by eating frozen treats – frozen red grapes my favorite (the a/c comes in handy too :)

    It sounds counter-intuitive, but I like to work out on hot days – when I get home after hitting the gym, I take a cool shower and I feel entirely refreshed.

    I like to just embrace the ridiculous Atlanta heat. It helps me feel like I really earned winter.

    I’M FRESH!

    I take a shower or if I’m short on time, take a cool wet wash cloth and wipe my face/neck area. One other thing is to cool down the artery in your neck (carotid) by pressing a cool wet cloth in that area. It will cool the blood and make you feel cooler in general. :)

    I stick a bottle of juice or gatorade in the freezer grab it ~an hour later and you have an easy slushy.
