It’s Gettin’ Hot (OK, OK Warm) In Here Vicks Germ Free Warm Mist Humidifier Giveaway

February 10, 2012 By Blonde Mom 194 Comments

This giveaway is closed. Caitlin, who commented “I love any of their humidifiers—I had one growing up, but lately I’ve had my eyes on either the V745A or the V790N models, have ‘em bookmarked!,” is the winner.

Although we’ve had unseasonably warm weather lately it is a not so balmy 30 degrees here in Nashvegas as I write.

We have gas heat, which is very drying, and honestly is there anything sexy about feeling all Sahara desert like in your sinuses every morning?

I THINK NOT.

Every winter we fire up our Vicks humidifier. In fact, it’s been a hot and sexy bedside master bedroom item for a couple of years. (Ha, ha.) My husband has allergy issues and it helps keep the air hydrated and us feeling more restful in the morning which is pretty much the only selling point us parental types need, right? Sleep. It is like gold. Yo.

Since I’m working with Vicks this winter I want to share the humidifier love with you! One lucky reader will not only win a Vicks Warm Mist GermFree Humidifier (germaphobes rejoice as it kills 99.999% of germs, mold, and bacteria before the steam even hits the air) but some other goodies mentioned below.

This awesome humidifier is it has two tanks which makes it easier to fill and helps it to run longer. It can operate up to 24 hours and has a two gallon capacity.

In addition to this fabulous humidifier, the winner of this giveaway will receive several Vicks goodies to help you stock up on your winter feel good necessities:

Two jars of original, old schoolVapoRub

Two jars of VapoRub, lemon scent (I LOVE lemon!)

Two bottles of VapoRub cream

Two jars of BabyRub for little ones under age 2

Feel Good, Look Good, Do Good With KEEN

November 28, 2008 By Blonde Mom 171 Comments

Thanks to everyone who entered! The lucky winner is Colleen from The Delaney and Waylon Diaries.

Be sure to enter the Kohl’s $50 gift card giveaway I’m hosting at my review and giveaway blog, Savvy Housewife.

Welcome to my Snap Out Of That Turkey Coma, Mama Needs A Brand New Pair of Boots Giveaway!

To celebrate the opening of KEEN’s new online store, I’m hosting a great giveaway for one free item of the winner’s choice from KEEN! You could choose something for yourself. I love the Palermo Mary Janes from the women’s Market St. line:

I also love the Amsterdam pink (imagine that) Mary Janes for my girls:

I heart these toddler boots (me again, with the pink):

For the man in your life, I like the Wear Around Lace in the Torino collection:

They also have a wonderfully hip line of computer bags, day bags, etc. I am loving the Betty Bag, which has a lining made with recycled materials:

For you athletic outdoorsy types KEEN is a familiar brand, but their shoes are also fabulous for those of us (much like myself, cough) who want to look all athletic and Earth mama-esque but who think roughing it is eating a granola bar on a park bench.

You can also feel good about doing your holiday shopping at KEEN because they are donating $5 to local shelters and food banks with each purchase through December 25. KEEN is also donating the proceeds of all Marshall wallets (while supplies last) purchased at keenfootwear.com to 1 KG More, a China-based non profit organization that works to bring school supplies to remote, impoverished areas of China, including those displaced by the May 12 earthquake; they also donated monetary aid and 15,000 pairs of shoes to victims of the earthquake last spring. Doing good is not something, however, KEEN just flashes during the holidays.

To enter the KEEN BlondeMomBlog giveaway simply visit KEEN’s new online store and come back to this post and leave a comment about your favorite, must have item. A random winner will be chosen from all eligible comments left by midnight Thursday, December 4. For an extra entry either post about this giveaway on your own blog or Tweet about it. You don’t need a blog or website to enter but you do need to leave a valid e-mail address so I can contact you, should you win. Thanks and good luck!

Need something now? Use code BLONDEMOMBLOG for free shipping through December 17.

Relieved It Wasn’t Thong Day

August 20, 2008 By Blonde Mom 31 Comments

We have a winner! Phil Wilson, who commented “The officer was shocked to see what Britney Spears looked like without makeup,” was the favorite chosen by myself and the best friend. The runner up is Connie at The Young and The Relentless, which may be my new favorite blog name, who wrote, “Jim Bob had no idea it was against the law to wear his wife’s swim suit to McDonalds.”

The best friend e-mailed me this awesome Kodak moment yesterday that was captured in our hometown. Girl, please warn me the next time you send me something this hilarious while I’m at the office.

It has all the icons of sleepy small Southern town America and Jerry Springer: tattoos, cellulite, McDonald’s, and the local cash advance store.

I thought I’d have some fun a la Mrs. Fussypants and host a Caption That Inappropriate Photo Contest.

Here’s my stab at it:

“Granny feared she’d never qualify for the Spring Break 2009 Hot Mama Competition during Daytona Biker Week once her real age was printed in the local paper.”

The winner of the photo caption contest will receive a Break Out The Good Liquor, The Kids Are Back In School, Thank You Jesus book collection. I have several fun books that were sent to me this summer to review before it dawned on me that the only leisure reading I do is in 5-minute snippets while stuck in the grocery checkout line or every 8 weeks when I skim In Style at the hair salon. The winner will receive Mrs. Perfect (I read it and really enjoyed it) by Jane Porter, whose Flirting With 40 book is being made into a movie starring Heather Locklear; It’s All About Him, by Denise Jackson, wife to country music super star Alan Jackson; and HUMP: True Tales of Sex After Kids. I’ve got a few more to toss in the prize box, too.

See? Something for everyone.

I’ll close comments to this post midnight Saturday and with the help from the best friend we shall pick a winnah!
