hello and wins

Hello after a short break. We ended up moving and that was quite the disruption and somehow blogging and contests fell to the wayside. Now we are in our new home and I have just started entering contests and finding deals again so let's hope I have more to add to this list soon!

I won some awesome contests in the past 2 weeks, looks like I have some beginner's luck!

I won an ipad docking station from Aly Walansky, hope it arrives soon. Now I just need to win an ipad to match...

I won a $50 gift code to Renew Life supplements from the Type A Housewife: http://www.thetypeahousewife.com/ I ordered crave-b-gone and a beginner's cleanse. Hope they come soon.

http://www.sugarpopribbons.blogspot.com/ let me know I won $50 at retroplanet.com. They have old toys, candy, trinkets, ads, etc. for sale. I used this as my father's day gift. Don't tell....

I won a complete Carmex collection from twitter, and it came in the mail today. I had no idea they made so many kinds of lip balm and even moisturizer! Which is great because I need some. I just got a sunburn last weekend and realized we have no lotion in the house. This is just what I need as I start to peel. Yuck.

Finally I won a Braun epilator from drugstore.com's facebook contest. It hasn't arrived yet but I am a little scared. I never used an epilator and it seems like it would hurt. I am considering trying to sell it on ebay instead. Maybe someone else is braver.

Good luck to you in all your contesting adventures!

CSN giveaway- modern dining room furniture!

Hi blog friends!

One thing I realized over the holidays is that our dining room furniture is totally inadequate and out of date. Now that the family has left the building and we have had a bit of time to relax, I'm looking into updating our dining room.
Lucky for me I was pointed to this website for modern dining room furniture. They have all kinds of cool stuff, not just tables and chairs but also benches and accessories and stuff to put on your new table to make it look good. Stuff like candles and pretty plates and vases for flowers.
Looking through the site I got excited about all the ideas for a new look for our living room. Our old stuffy and scratched table and chairs just don't cut it anymore. I am ready for a fresh new look!

Lucky for you, you get the chance to buy something new from this site for yourself-- for free! CSN stores has offered one of my blog readers a gift certificate for $35 towards anything at allmodern.com or any of the other many CSN store sites. The certificate won't cover shipping but will get you something new to spice up your look! Your house will be the envy of your neighbors and friends!

This contest will last from January 11th until January 22nd at noon EST. To enter please visit allmodern.com (see the link above in the post) and post the url of one thing you would like to spice up your dining room. Please only enter once. Only GFC followers will be eligible to enter. Easy enough, no? Good luck! Winner will be chosen by random and will be notified by email. Have fun!
