Etsy Giveaway: LoveForEarth Produce Bags

Corded Mint Full Set of Re-usable Produce Bags, $15.75

A few months ago, I bought one of the above sets of re-usable produce bags to carry groceries in.  And they are amazing.  I have used hardly any plastic bags to bring home veggies or bulk goods since then.  The bags are stong, durable, easy to use, and attractive.  Almost every time I take them to the grocery store, someone comments on them.

It’s easy to not give a lot of thought to the impact a plastic bag makes, but when you take a good, hard look at it, it’s scary.  A simple lifestyle change, like carrying reusable grocery bags and reusable produce bags, can make a huge difference.

LoveForEarth is a great source for beautiful, reusable bags, and they have been generous enough to offer a set of reusable bags to one of my lovely readers!

There’s three chances to enter.  Here’s the details:

1) Check out LoveForEarth’s Etsy shop, then come back here and post a comment letting me know what your favorite item in the store is.

2) Favorite LoveForEarth on Etsy and then let me know you did in a comment here.

This giveaway will run for one week, so you have until midnight, November 19 to enter.  Good luck!

*Closed* Giveaway: Hana Elite Flat Iron

(Edited to add: I just found out that this is only open to U.S residents, because this specific flat iron is not dual voltage)

Misikko contacted me several weeks ago, offering to let me try one of their professional flat irons, the Hana Elite.  I was more than happy to oblige.

Most work mornings, I blow dry and style my hair with a round brush.  But on the weekends, I often like to let it air dry, which leaves it looking a bit too un-styled for me, as seen in this picture:

Before

So, I used the Hana Elite Flat Iron, plus some hair product to protect my hair from heat damage, and styled it.

After

And I’m sold!  With previous flat irons I’ve tried, my bangs will always getting disheveled by the end of the day.   But with the Hana Elite, they stayed straight for days (until I washed my hair again).  I love how it has very specific heat settings, and the flat iron includes a guide as to which temperature is right for which type of hair.

In addition to the Hana Elite, be sure to check out the Chi Flat Iron, FHI flat iron, and other flat irons that Misikko has to offer.

This giveaway is for a Hana Elite Professional Flat Iron, worth $200!

(CLOSED) Giveaway: Knitted gloves and mittens!

It’s my birthday this week (Thursday) and I thought it would be nice to celebrate by offering a giveaway to my fabulous readers.  Since it’s still going to be pretty cold for the Northern hemi for a little while, I thought some nice warm mittens and gloves would be perfect (and winter will be in the Southern hemi before you know it).

This giveaway is open to everyone, everywhere!

The gloves are knitted alpaca gloves from Village Shoes (they aren’t affiliated with this contest, but they are awesome and you should still check them out.)  I won these gloves in a contest, but I’m allergic to alpaca, so I want to pass them on to someone who can give them the love they deserve.  They really are gorgeous, and very soft and warm.

I handknit the mittens myself, using Elizabeth Zimmermann’s mitered mittens pattern.  The yarn is a soy/wool blend, and it is very soft and warm.

The winner will receive both pairs!

To enter this contest:

  • Leave a comment on this post telling me what the coldest temperature that you’ve ever experienced was, and where you were when you experienced it (for me, it was 13 degrees, in North Carolina.)
  • For an additional entry, follow my blog using Google Reader, Bloglovin’, or any other service, and let me know how you are following my blog in a second comment.

Giveaway: Size 36 Dansko Necci Sandals!!

4061940350_e9b6d6e946

This is a very belated giveaway.  Over a month ago, I received an e-mail from a reader asking if I would be interested in holding a giveaway for a pair of shoes that she bought, but that just weren’t working for her feet.  I agreed, and she mailed them promptly, and then they sat on my desk for a month.  Sorry it took me so long Elizabeth!

This giveaway is for a lightly used pair of Dansko Neccis in size 36 (US 6).  Please note that this is the only size available, so only enter if you or someone you know wears this size.  I own several pairs of Dansko wedges, and I absolutely adore them.  For reference, I wear a US size 8 in most shoes, and in Dansko sandals I wear size 38.

If you’d like a chance to win these, leave a comment on this post.  For an extra entry, tweet about the contest on Twitter and then post a second comment letting me know you tweeted.  The deadline is November 13 at midnight.  I’ll choose a winner the next day.
