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…

    I’M FRESH

    I take mini showers throughout the day if I’m out walking the dog or playing in the backyard :)
    Some ice cream also does the trick!

    Baby wipes! Sometimes if I need a little extra freshing, a little baby wipe under the arms and, poof! clean as can be!

    We live in Vegas so the best option is to jump in the pool! Gotta have access to one in this crazy August heat. :)

    (I love this magazine…and World Market!)

    I eat a ton more fresh, raw fruits and veggies — hard to beat a juicy blackberry to make the office disappear.

    I like to keep the AC off as much as possible, so I stay fresh and cool by taking a quick shower and sitting in front of the fan with some ice water in hand. Never fails!

    I’M FRESH! On Friday I was laying out in our backyard and it was insane hot. No pool. So my husband soaked me with the water hose and it was great!

    I like to change into comfortable shorts and sit at the computer in front of the air conditioner!

    My hubby and I like eating al fresco in our backyard during the summer. Even on the hottest days it’s cooler and relaxing to eat outdoors. I do wish we had central AC though!

    When I need to cool down I pop some fresh blueberries in the freezer – in a couple of hours I have a refreshing treat!

    My new obsession is to put a little squeeze of lemon into some iced water. So refreshing and addictive!

    I like a iced coffee in the afternoon and a few dashes through the sprinkler when watering my garden.

    This feels weird, but my favorite thing to do at work after a long hot day (since I work outside) is to go to the movies. The dark and cool theater always feels worlds away from the hot, bright, and humid outdoors.

    Lots of water, lightweight clothing, walking on the shady side of the street, and slipping a little bottle of perfume into my work bag.

    I’m Fresh… (LOVE this giveway,WM is one of my most favorite places to shop and get inspired)

    Since my 9-5 is spent inside in a cubicle, I love to take walks outside during my lunch break for a quick breath of fresh air (regardless of the weather…) to clear my mind and rest my computer-tired eyes.

    I’M FRESH!

    I joined a CSA this year, and have been enjoying all things fresh, food-wise! All the fruit inspired me to buy an ice cream maker, and I made blackberry sorbet and watermelon sorbet this weekend! (To go along with my corn fritters, creamed corn, corn salad, corn salsa and corn muffins… Thanks to two bushels of corn a week!)

    For the bod, I feel instantly refreshed after washing my face. For the palate, I refresh by having a mocktail (a little bit of juice + a lot of sparkling H2O).

    I’M FRESH! Nothing like a good run through the sprinklers to keep you cool and take you back to your childhood!

    I stay cool in the summer by NEVER blowdrying my hair…I slick it back into a low messy bun and I’m off!

    Thanks for introducing me to this magazine, I had not heard of it before.

    We keep (fresh and) cool by keeping all of our blinds closed during the hottest parts of the day and then cranking on our attic fan just as soon as the outside temp dips below the inside temp. Energy saving- we’ve only ran our air for about 4 hours this summer, and feeling that blast of cool air run through the house in the evenings is so (re)freshening!

    I like to make summer punch: peach nectar, fizzy water, and lemon slices over ice. It makes the summer heat a little more bearable!
