***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…

Leah says
I’M FRESH!
To freshen up in the summer, I like to take an extra long shower, spend time on hair and makeup to look pretty for my hubby, and go grab a glass of wine. All refreshed!

I’m Fresh! An icy cold drink…usually lemonade in the summer.
Cris says
I’M FRESH ….
The best way to cool off and feel refreshed, IMO, is a nice shower! Ahhhhh, heaven! When taking just a short break, though, using a wet wash cloth can help you to make the most of that refreshing break before you get back to slaving away.

Megs says
I’M FRESH! We’ve had a record-breaking summer of heat in Indiana, but I’ve been practicing what I learned from my summer in Spain: all meals should be cold! I’ve been making lots of gazpacho, different kinds of salads, veggie sandwiches, etc. Lovin it!

I’m Fresh! ha ha. This made me laugh out loud. To feel fresh, I usually take two showers a day–one in the morning and one when I come home after work. It makes the evening feel like a new start rather than having been at work all day. Plus I always sleep better this way. :)
