Purse fun!

A fairly new site, All Chick Stuff, is giving away a great giraffe print purse and matching wallet. Click HERE to go enter this contest ASAP!

Vote for me, puh-lease!

I'm up for reader of the month at "Beauty Secrets Revealed!!!" (the three exclamation points are included in the title).

Click here, don't get distracted by the recipes for hair masks and facial packs, then scroll down - there's a "vote for" box on the right at the end of that column - where you can very easily click my name (no registration or anything). Then go be distracted by how to take fruit and yogurt and make something fabulous.

Wowsers! I won something!

As you could probably guess from the content of my posts, I love contests - and especially love Prizeatron.com , which is a sister-site of Seven Dogs and a Baby (a site that does reviews and giveaways mostly). Anyhow, she had up for grabs a Body Shop prize pack of Vitamin E skin care products - as a promo for a larger Vick's giveaway (follow either link to see how to enter). And I won!

I remember first seeing contests on all these blogs - wondering if they were for real - if anyone ever won, ever got their prizes. The answer is yes! It's a brilliant marketing idea for the companies, and a win-win for the readers and for the blog owners. I completely tune out commercials and display ads - rarely even notice online advertising (unless it's annoying - that means you US Airways) - but I'll spend several minutes pondering a necklace at a site I would have never visited if there's a prize on a blog. Clever.

Nikon Camera Contest!

I'm a huge Nikon camera junkie, and lately have been wanting something smaller than my D70. Enter Emomsathome, which is having a contest for a Nikon CoolPix P5100, which I love.

Check it out.

Okay, the more time on spend on this site, the more I am glad that I added it to my favorites! There are contests right now for an Evenflow (Fancy-Shmancy) car seat, and a Day Runner set (haven't used one of those since college), among other prizes. Head over now!

Double the pleasure! I mentioned in the last post that prizeatron is awesome, and here is proof: the same Vicks contest only for Kiehls products! Thinking about who cares is a great way to refocus on what matters so I highly recommend not only entering the contest but heading over to the Vicks contest to see whom others nominated.

Seven Dogs and a Baby (who also runs prizeatron.com - one of my daily visits) - has a giveaway that I almost don't want to share! But, in the spirit of this blog, I am: Vicks Caring Tributes promo contest for a fabulous skin care pack. You might have heard of this Vicks contest already - they're collecting video nominations about people who have comforted you. In my case, it's my mom, who has not only comforted me - but countless other people as a hospice nurse.
