***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…

It doesn’t get hot enough in Seattle to need these tricks more than a few days a year. But today and tomorrow I’ll be stashing some t-shirts and tanks in the freezer and eating a steady diet of frozen fruit and vegetable smoothies.

I’M FRESH!
I LOVE to make a giant pitcher of flavored water using my french press, fruit(lemon, lime, cucumber, peaches,etc), and a some mint from my garden! It’s totally refreshing and I like that I can change the flavor as often as I want(and it’s all natural and organic)! The other thing I love is Victoria’s Secret Acai Berry and Magnolia body spray(3/$33). Very cooling!!
Bethany says

Joye says
I’m Fresh!
Emily @ The Happy Home says
I’M FRESH– is it too much to say that a quick change of the undergarments is all you really need?
maybe i’ll say “iced soy latte” instead!

Lately I’ve been loving sitting with my feet in the kiddie pool as my toddler daughter splashes about. We both love it!

when i put lemon slices in my filtered water.
