One of my favorite giveaway sites is Mint Green With Envy (who btw has a killer new blog theme happening). Somehow this lady manages to offer some of THE most gorgeous items for her giveaways and this one is no different. She is giving away a large yellow and white striped tote from Bayan Hippo.

I’d never heard of this shop before this giveaway, but I fell in love instantly. It’s a handbag/tote shop and I love these types of items. I make my own totes, but not like these. In fact, the main entry into this giveaway is to check out the site and leave a comment on MGWE as to what your favorite item is. That’s when I found this beautiful Frilly Bag In Black.

There are a lot of ways to enter this one, but checking out the sponsors site is mandatory. This giveaway ends on April 27th and the winner will be drawn on the 28th. I’ve become a huge sucker for a good giveaway and if you want some of the best, you’ve got to check out Mint Green With Envy. She’s a giveaway diva!!!

I love fragrances. I love body sprays, perfumes, colognes, Eau de Toilette’s, and smelly goods of every kind. My favorite scents are woodsy varieties. Musk (especially), sandalwood, that kind of thing. I like some florals, but not the fru-fru kinds. And vanilla is NOT my fragrance. I love it, it don’t love me. But I found a giveaway that might be just right.

Over at Candid-Cleaver-Cost Effective, you can enter to win a gorgeous Lilac body scents set from Pampered Rose.com. Lilac’s happens to be one of the floral that I do like. I have a Lilac bush in my front yard and love the aroma that floats around it each spring. And according to the Webmistress at CCC, this variety of Lilac perfumes smell closer to the real thing than any she’s ever encountered. However, she did say that she wasn’t impressed with the extract.

There are a lot of ways to enter this contest, but you’ve got to head over to The Pampered Rose and choose one thing that you’d most like to have as the mandatory entry. Without this one, none of the others count. But trust me, the visit is well worth it. There are a ton of lotions, perfumes, body sprays, and soaps that will have you craving a long, luxurious bath.

Head over to Candid-Clever-Cost Effective now and see if you can’t win yourself this aromatic set. You might just get a chance to kick the rest of the family out so you can have one evening of pure luxury.

How often to you use a hair straightener??? Me, all the time. I was “blessed” with naturally curly hair and I HATE it. Growing up in the 80’s, it was cool having big hair. But even then I wanted the Marcia Brady straight hair look. My hair wouldn’t do anything that I wanted it too and there were a lot of time that it was all I could do to keep from shaving my head bald.

Then came a really cool invention called the Flat Iron, aka, hair straightener. I used to use my curling iron as a straightener so this was the coolest thing I’d ever heard of. Problem was that I was well into my 30’s before I could afford one. Now, I have about 3 of them, but they’re all inexpensive models that only last about 6 or 7 uses before they just don’t straighten my hair as well as they should. I’d love to have one of those nice ceramic types, but there’s no way I can afford one of those right now.

Then I saw this killer giveaway at Mommy Living the Life of Riley. She’s giving away a beautiful Avanti Wet-Dry Nano-Titanium Ceramic Silver Digital Flat Iron from the cool people at FlatIronExperts.com. I love this flat iron as it can be used on either dry or wet hair. And with my hair, that’s a major plus. I’d much rather get it done while still wet, than have to try and blow dry it as straight as possible, then use a flat iron on it to get it even straighter. It takes forever and there are a lot of times that I just don’t bother and wear my hair up so no one can see it.

If you’d like a chance to win this cool flat iron, run over to Mommy Living the Life of Riley and get in on the giveaway. Mandatory entries are pretty easy. You only need to choose another flat iron from FlatIronExperts.com that you’d like to have and become a Google Friend on the Mommy site. From there, she’s got a ton of other ways to gain entries into the giveaway so there are a lot of chances to win. This contest ends on August 20th, so get your entries in now.
