Win my favorite kind of hair brush!

18 Comments

When I first started doing reviews and giveaways on my site I was contacted by Cover Your Hair and did a review/giveaway. That was back in January 2010. A few weeks ago they contacted me again. Instead of having the gift being a surprise, I decided to actually pick out something to review and have a chance for you all to win it as well.

In October you may remember me talking about the boar hair brushes and how amazing they are for your hair, to make it sleek, shiny and even fall straight without the straightening iron.

So I thought I would request to review the Goody Boar Ceramic Cusion Brush on Cover Your Hair so you, my friends and readers could also have a chance to win a nice boar hair brush.

Don’t you love it when you have a great hair day? Especially on a Monday morning? Honestly, it’s all the help of the boar bristle brush, whether it be this goody one or the Sephora one I mentioned a few months ago.  I don’t ever use my hair straightener anymore because of the boar bristle brushes. But I talk more in depth about that here. However, there is a difference between the two brushes I own. The sephora hair brush that I have right now is all boar. Where as the Goody one that I’m reviewing and giving away today is boar blend. Which means it has some of the regular hard plastic in with the boar. You can see what I mean in the photo shown below. 

Now that holiday season is in full bloom, http://www.CoverYourHair.com is offering 20% off to you lucky followers. Use promo code “blog1231”.  Promo code expires 12/31/11. You can get all sorts of stuff on Cover Your Hair’s website like hair accessories, baby headbands, baby hats, and of course head accessories.

Alright, I know everyone here just wants to get right to it and enter away at this giveaway. So I’ll tell you how you can enter and who is eligible to win a boar bristle hair brush too!



Good luck, and enter away!

Just in time for Black Friday

41 Comments

This is my first time working in conjunction with Well.ca, and they have graciously allowed me to host a giveaway for you guys! Just to give you a little run down, Well.ca is Canada’s largest online health, beauty, and baby products store. So basically an online place to shop for basic necessities, or … chocolate! You know I found that right away.  The site is designed to access things easily. For instance, you can navigate by brand, or even by medicine cabinet!

Well.ca would be optimal for people such as my Brother. He has a family of six, so his life is always incredibly busy with four children. Forgetting to purchasing things like q-tips, and hygiene products are often forgotten if they’re not on the grocery list. Well.ca is always available to shop online!

The best part about Well.ca is that it’s a Canadian company that has free shipping with no minimum orders to almost all locations in Canada. But we don’t forget about our American neighbors, there’s free shipping in the United States for orders over $99 Canadian. Well.ca also accept returns of unopened products up to 60 days after the date of purchase. Pretty exceptional service if you ask me!

As I stated above, I’m hosting a giveaway for you guys! It’ll be a $50 gift card to Well.ca. As I’m sure everyone knows, tomorrow is Black Friday. Well.ca has some very exciting promotions starting then and ending on Monday the 28th (Cyber Monday). During this time period, they’re giving  customers the option to choose 1 of 5 “free gifts” when they place an order of $100+. The gift options include chocolate, a very popular board game, natural cleaning products, teeth whitening products, and a beauty gift set. The gifts are valued between $25-40 each so this is a fantastic promotion for shopping for Christmas presents.

Once the promotion goes live tomorrow, all of the information will be available here: http://well.ca/blackfriday. If you make a purchase on Well.ca while the $50 giveaway is live,  you will still be entered to win the $50 as a credit-back on your order. So don’t hesitate to take advantage of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals!

It’s a S’mores party!

30 Comments

My trip to San Diego in August to go to BlogHer was all about a lot of firsts. First time I met Shannon, Jess, Nikki, Judy and even Kristin from Iowa Girl Eats, my blogging idol! BlogHer was also the first time I tried a S’more at the Hershey booth and first time I tried a Balance Bar. Can you take a while guess as to what my favorite flavor was?
Aw, yes. S’mores no less. It honestly tastes like a yummy chocolate bar. It’s a fair size as well at 50g per bar. August 14 was my last s’more bar, so it was a sad day when that last bite was taken, wrapped in that gorgeous gold packaging.

But I we don’t have to be sad anymore because I’m here to share the tasty amazing goodness with all of you ladies and gents today residing in the states! Who wants to win a free box of my favorite flavor of S’mores Balance Bar? 15 S’mores bars come in a box!

Share or hoard it, I won’t judge. It is a pretty amazing flavor.

But first! I must tell you about all the amazing different types of Balance Bars! There is a great selection of bars to choose from carb loading bars, cafe bars, bare bars (trail-mix inspired), gold bars (which were my favorite because it included the S’mores) and of course original bars. Each “section” of bars has a few flavor variates for you to choose from! There are so many flavors, my mouth is salivating.

Alright, I know everyone here just wants to get right to it and enter away at this giveaway. So I’ll tell you how you can enter and who is eligible to win a free box of S’mores Balance Bars.

PLEASE NOTE THIS CONTEST IS ONLY OPEN TO RESIDENTS OF THE USA.

Mandatory Entry: Tell me where and when you would eat your BalanceBar? (Me? I’d eat it after a CrossFit WOD or a climbing sesh. I love to fuel up after a work out!)
