What? More Free Stuff?
Why hello, Monday. So we meet again. I do everything in my power to avoid you and yet here we are, hours after Sunday, and I’m staring you in the face again. Sigh.
Did everyone have a superawesomeamazing weekend? Did you do all sorts of fun things that make you dread The Monday? Yes, me too. I went to a wedding on Saturday and had the best wedding cake ever.
You know how wedding cake tends to be dry with gross frosting that’s all sorts of sugary—but in a bad way? Well this one was moist like it was baked that morning with frosting so buttery it almost melted. Come to find out, it was made by Duff and the gang at Charm City Cakes (from the show Ace of Cakes on the Food Network). Which totally makes sense seeing as the cake’s design was perfect.
I’d take photos of all this stuff, but I’m not so comfortable putting someone else’s life up here on these interwebs without permission. So just use your imagination, which is often more exciting than real life. Mkay?
In other news, we have a winner of last week’s Totally Awesome Beauty Package giveaway and a whole new contest for you to enter. In my typical Mean Girl fashion, I’m going to give you the details of the new contest before revealing the winner. Muaw ha ha ha.
Here’s what you can win this week. Remember, it’s all never-been-used and it all goes to one lucky woman or man. (Yes, I said man. Guys, go ahead and enter then either pass it on to your girlfriend/wife/mother/whatever or regift. Girls love presents.)
- Umberto Beverly Hills travel-sized volumizing shampoo, conditioner, and regular-hold hairspray
- Origins Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil
- The Homestead Spa Buttercup Body Polish
- Fresh Orange Chocolate soap
- Nars blush in Luster
- Mally Perfecting Blush in Rosy Pink
- Laura Mercier mineral eye powder in Graphite
- Becca Glossy Lip Tint in Afterglow
- Estee Lauder lip shaping gloss pencil in Sheer Fuchsia
- Linden Leaves gold mist facial spritz
- Foot Petals Tip Toes
- Estee Lauder Private Collection Tuberose body cream (which, by the way, smells like Heaven)
So, previous weeks’ rules still apply:
- You can enter once a day until the contest ends
- There are three ways to enter: Leave a comment, tweet about the contest (the link’s here: http://bit.ly/axaYlN), or become a friend through Google Friend Connect
- You can enter all three ways—or just one.
- The contest will end Friday, Aug. 20.
- I’ll announce the winner on Monday, Aug. 23.
And that’s that. Oh, and last week’s winner is No. 12, Katie at Health for the Whole Self! E-mail me with your full name and address and I’ll get the goods out to you.
Fodder for discussion (though any comment gets you an entry): If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only bring one thing with you, what would it be? And don’t get all smart-alecky and say a boat. Or a cell phone. That’s cheating.

I would bring my black nike hat and mascara and lip gloss. Yes, I know that’s three things but I’m high maintenance…even while stranded on a desert island.

An Ace of Cakes cake? I’m a bit jealous…
If I were stranded, I think I’d need a pair of running shoes. Cause sitting around sending smoke signals would get old reeeaaaaallll quick… ha ha

Unless you were on LOST, in which case things would be exciting. Of course, the sneakers would come in handy when you had to run from the smoke monster…
(C’mon, who knew I’d make a LOST reference here…?)

a nars blush! so lovely!
[Reply]
Dang, I was going to say Kindle too.
I’d bring one of my pets so I could have someone to ‘talk’ to
[Reply]
I would bring a Trader Joe’s store. Or my laptop. Actually I’d bring my laptop so I could watch things and surf the internet. And of course read your blog every day.
That little bit of brown-nosing should be worth two entries at least??

Ha ha ha… Don’t forget to smuggle in a power cord.

Am I an awful person if I just say “gimme” ?
[Reply]
My pets!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I would bring my husband. He could do all the manly things, like climb trees for coconuts, kill varmits to eat, build a structure and I could entertain myself asking him, why, oh why, he didn’t just stop and ask for directions.

Hysterical!

My friend Maddy. Together we would survive for a long time and we’d never get bored.
I’d really want to bring a laptop but I feel like that would distract me from survival.

I’ve always wanted to try a Nars product! Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway!

A fuffy oversized bed. I could do the survival-woman thing, but if there is one thing I wouldn’t want to give up, its gotta be a bed. No straw or bananna tree leaves for me!
[Reply]
A genie in a bottle?
How are you getting all this cool stuff anyhow? Do YOU have a genie??

Of course that’s the best idea ever. Three wishes: A boat, a cell phone, and a cabana boy.
And I rob banks. Or Sephoras. Kidding.
[Reply]
I would bring a Bible. I feel like there’s an endless amount of things to learn from the Bible, so it would never get redundant. And, clearly I would need something to keep me occupied!
[Reply]
I’d bring my iPod Touch. It has my Kindle App (endless books!) along with music, Scrabble, etc. Oh, and pics of my family are on it to
