KC Los Angeles GIVEAWAY: Tees with a Latin Flair

Posted on May 31, 2009 in giveaways

I recently stumbled upon KC Los Angeles, a stylish t-shirt company that inspires women to embrace their femininity, their roots, and their dreams. Owner Karen Crawford created the line to celebrate her heritage in NYC’s Spanish Harlem.

These inspirational, graphic tees and tanks are 100% super-soft cotton, with a Latin flair. I am thrilled to be giving away 2 of them! Check these out:

The Paz tee (size M) was inspired by the graffiti on the unforgiving streets of Harlem. We all have a responsibility to advocate for peace- in our communities, our nation, and our world. There are no excuses. I like the idea of having “paz” emblazoned across my heart; it’s my little reminder to sow seeds of peace wherever I go.

The Unity tee (size L) displays the message: “Fuerza en la Unidad” (Strength in Unity). According to KC, the essence of unity is WE: “Not me. We.” When I wear tees like these, I feel like I am announcing to the world: “Hey, this is what I’m all about. This is what I stand for.”

As a woman and a mom, I am proud to wear clothing that inspires our children to embrace peace, hope love, faith, beauty, and unity. These tees and tanks are fun, flattering (run a bit small- order up!) and have messages with a mission. Plus, 10% of all purchases go to a non-profit, family service organization, Para Los Ninos.

To enter this GIVEAWAY, please visit KC Los Angeles. Come back and comment about which tee or tank (other than the ones pictured above) is your favorite. Be sure to include an email address where you may be reached. On Friday, June 12, two lucky winners will be randomly selected by Random.org. You must be a U.S. resident (18+) to enter. Good luck!

The Thinnest Wallets from ALL-ETT: BIG Father’s Day Giveaway!

Posted on May 11, 2009 in giveaways

Ladies, does your husband have wallet butt? Is he ruining those jeans you bought that make his butt look cute? If so, then look no further. I have the perfect Father’s Day gift idea from ALL-ETT: The World’s Thinnest Wallet.

Your man may not be complaining, but sitting on a thick wallet is very uncomfortable! In fact, it can become downright painful and lead to chronic back pain. Many men remove their wallets when sitting for very long, or while driving. The trouble is this leads to forgetting it somewhere or having it stolen.

The Original ALL-ETT Billfold can solve this problem. The Original Wallet holds up to 30 cards and has 2 pockets for cash. It will hold all of your hubby’s stuff while still staying incredibly thin. This wallet makes a great gift and costs only $19.95 for nylon and $ 29.95 for leather.

The unique I.D. Wallet features an ID pocket on the inside of the wallet. This design allows you to show your ID easily and quickly while still keeping it securely stored inside of your wallet. The ID wallet will hold 12 credit cards and ID and has 2 pockets for your bills and receipts. Great for those who have to show their ID for work! Only $ 19.95 for nylon and $ 29.95 for leather.

Is your husband a sailor? The Boater’s Wallet is waterproof and floats on top of the water for up to two days; it is truly amazing! The bright color helps make it easy to see for retrieval. This is a must have for boaters, kayakers, or anybody who might drop his wallet in the water. It will hold up to 10 credit cards, cash and a couple of keys while still floating. The dimensions of this wallet (empty & closed) are 3 ½” x 5 ¼” x ¼”. It can be yours for only $ 29.95.

Here’s the great news! I am giving away FIVE WALLETS for Father’s Day: The Original, 2 I.D. Wallets (nylon & leather), the Boater’s Wallet, and the Leather Executive.

For the opportunity to win, please visit ALL-ETT first. Then, come back and leave me a comment about which item you would most like to win (If you are a winner, I will do my best to accommodate you.). This giveaway is open until 5/29. Winners will be chosen by Random.org. You must be a U.S. resident to enter. Good luck!

Experience the Spa at Home Giveaway

Posted on April 16, 2009 in giveaways, mind and body

One month after Liza was born, a friend invited me to her home for some girl bonding. I didn’t really want to go; I couldn’t squeeze into anything cute or stylish, and I felt ugly. Besides, how can you feel good with leaky boobs? C’mon. Honestly.

But this girls’ night was different than others. I was encouraged to dress in comfy clothes. Check. And the Evite said, “Don’t wear makeup.” Check. It turns out that I had been invited to experience the spa, right in someone’s home. What woman can pass up quality girl time while soaking her feet? We exfoliated and moisturized with delicious mango and peppermint scents. And all the while, we laughed, really laughed, about our hairy legs, creeping lines, and imperfections. It was just what I needed.

The party was given by Sensaria Representative, ML Banino, who was attracted to the company 3 years ago: “It’s a way for mothers to find sanity. Using high quality, naturally-based spa products provides a daily ritual that helps moms feel better.”

We all deserve to feel beautiful and whole. That’s why this month I am giving away Sensaria’s Beach Scent Bundle (pictured below), a $60 value. And, it’s just in time for Mother’s Day! All you need to do is send a comment before April 30 for a chance to win. The winner will be randomly selected using Random.org. Good luck!
