***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…

To stay cool in this summer heat (in SoCal) my 3 year old daughter and I take cool baths in our “Biiiig Bathtub” upstairs in ‘mommy’s baffroom’…(master bathroom)…drink lots of pink strawberry lemonade…eat lots of refrigerated fruit…and of course fill up good ol’ reliable *aka* the inflatable rainbow pool! LoL! It’s big enough for her and I to sit and soak in the shady tree in our front yard.
Leigh Anne says
I’M FRESH!
With record summer heat in my area (55+ days above 90 degrees!), a cool shower is an absolute must for me. On the weekends, relaxing in the pool is the only way to go!

I’m Fresh! Jumping in the pool!

Sarah Pontius says
I’m Fresh!
I ride my bike to/from work, and the breeze keeps me cool even when it’s hot and sticky out.
Melissa says
I’M FRESH
My favorite is being able to dive into a body of water of some sort outside. But usually that means I’m on vacation so it’s worth the heat!
Heather D says
I’M FRESH
Since I was born and raised in the Vegas heat, I know that to stay fresh-like in the summer requires you to wake up with the AC on, get into your air-conditioned car and drive to your air-conditioned office. Then at the end of the day, you get back into your air-conditioned vehicle (which was hopefully parked under a tree or in the shade) and drive back to your air-conditioned house. Gotta love the AC!
Crystal Ramirez says
I’M FRESH! And I stay that way with a dip in the pool or a looooong shower.
MegM says

My new pottery barn water dispenser has been sitting on my counter all summer with tasty flavored water. I’ve added frozen berries to the water; citrus slices; cucumber….. you name it!! It’s made my kids love drinking water and trying out the cool “new” flavors!
