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…

    Cool showers are definitely the way I cool down. We also open the windows at night – luckily we usually get a cool breeze in the evening.

    I honestly just like to think positive cooling thoughts. Since we are in the process of a complete renovation, I guess I haven’t gotten to enjoy the out doors as much as normal… So maybe it’s my reno that keeps me fresh and cool in the humid Missouri weather! :)

    I’m fresh! I’m constantly spraying any of my Fresh perfumes before I leave the house to feel clean and refreshed (that sort of sounded like an ad, eeek!). I do that, and a enjoy combo of hummus and pita while watching Friday Night Lights. Yums for for the food and yums for Tim Riggins.

    Easy! Refreshing peppermint foot spray to cool those toes when the temps fly high. Makes a run or walk not so bad in the heat!

    I freshen up by wetting my hair, twisting it in an up-do, and then spraying myself with a mister. That’s ‘mister’ not ‘Mr.’ Not that my Mr. is never involved… I’m just sayin.’

    I love an ice cold blueberry beer on a smokin’ hot, Wisconsin summer day. The source of this goodness is a local micro-brewery… with fresh blueberries plunked in just before the glass crosses the bar to your hands. In order to get the full ‘refreshing’ effect, it needs to be consumed while sitting on a lawn chair, watching the boats cruise up and down the beautiful Fox River and while relishing in the fact that LIFE IS GOOD…

    I’m Fresh!!! I like to cool off with a cold shower before bed, or getting to a shadey lake with my 3 boys in the day. Like today with my girlfriends!

    Iced coffee – either made at home with coffeemate creamer or from McD’s (large hazelnut please)!
    Just moved into our first house so I would loooove to win this.

    All of the above is an option for me. Whatever this momma has time for, cool glass of lemonade, the cool shower, sitting in front of a fan for a bit with the swipe of deoderant as you mentioned. Or a quick nap for the brain. Even a sweet squirt of a body spray will do the trick!!!
    I love feeling fresh!

    I hate the heat so I stay inside in the air conditioning with my ceiling fan keeping me extra cool. I prefer to go outside in the winter time.

    I’M FRESH! Although, not really. I’m in TX, so it’s basically impossible to freshen up right now with 115 degree heat….I just don’t fight it. I sleep a lot.

    “I’M FRESH”
    An icy cool blast of water at the end of my shower usually does the trick. Or (I hope this isn’t TMI), going sans bra tends to feel like I’m 15 pounds lighter and a whole lot cooler.

    I’M FRESH!….I like to take my kids to hang out by the pool. We get together with a few friends and spend an hour or two, wading in the cool water!!

    Since today was our 17th consecutive day of over 100* temps here in Texas, it is absolutely impossible to stay fresh! I just stay indoors!

    I have just spent 3 days swimmimg in a cool blue pool and it was very refreshing in the summer heat of the unusually “hot” Pacific Northwest.

    I love showers but the water must be hot. No cold showers for this girl. Nothing makes me feel as fresh and renewed as nice hot great shower! :)
