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.

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…and our trick is frozen grapes and chunks of watermelon, along with frozen tubes of Stonyfield yogurt. Beats the heat every time!

    I’M FRESH!! When the heat and humidity have me feeling beat, a cool washcloth swiped across the back of my neck and then on my forearms makes me feel ahhhhh!

    I didn’t know the meaning of “humid” until I went to Cartagena this summer. Wow! With heat like that, you have no desire to take a hot shower (not that you could if you wanted to… no water heaters). Now I actually prefer cold showers and always take a quick rinse in the afternoon if I’m feeling sticky.

    Smoothies made from fresh fruit we picked and froze– and whatever else we have on hand, OJ, yogurt, milk– and of course ice!

    I’ve been keeping the blinds of our south-facing windows closed during the hottest part of the day, brushing my teeth several times a day to keep my mouth feeling fresh, and when I had a fever yesterday from a sinus infection I’m fighting, I used an ice pack wrapped in a cloth napkin held on the back of my neck or on top of my head. Of course, all of this is done while drinking tons of ice cold water.

    I get by with a combo of Paul Newman lemonade and making fresh sorbets and ice creams in my handy-dandy inexpensive ice cream maker. (So far, gone through lemon sorbet; mocha ice cream; and cardamom ice cream. Might try a chai ice cream next.)

    I love to cool off with a bowl of homemade ice cream! We love using the ice cream maker that we got for our wedding at the beginning of the summer!

    I’M FRESH out of ideas…and YHL is truly a breath of fresh air to my tired creativity! I keep my body spray and facial spritzers in the fridge all summer long for a sweet-scented, cool pick-me-up whenever I need it!

    I think I am more likely to sit and read and relax in the shade – or take a bike ride to get some breeze!
