Giveaway: Husky Screwdriver Set

Jillian — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 22:04:41 +0000

I’ll admit it, I’m such a girlie girl. Before the feminists beat me to a pulp, perhaps rightfully so, I’ll just say that I’m not mechanically inclined. I try really hard, but I’m just not there. So, when I find something that makes life easier, I tend to jump on it and grab it and hold it like gold. Therefore, giving away the freebie that Husky Tools sent me (*note to the FTC-this was a freebie*) to review makes me feel a bit like Scrooge.

Home Depot is offering a bunch of really cool tools for under $20 this holiday season. Being a really awesome company, they offered to send some bloggers some of the tools to review and giveaway (not review and keep–bah humbug) to their loyal readers. I got a super cool screwdriver set.

I’ll admit that when they said they were sending me screwdrivers to review that my initial reaction was “how on earth am I going to review screwdrivers? Don’t you just put it on the screw on turn it?” Yep. I’m crafty like that. When I got the screwdriver kit, though, I was like a kid in a candy store. It had all these cool little bit things. Every bit you could think of was in this kit (like 12 of them!). The batteries were included (YES!!!) so it makes an easy holiday gift. All I had to do was take the little paper out, which was thoughtful of them, so it didn’t drain the juice. I immediately started assembling and pushing the right and left buttons to watch the bits go back and forth.

And then…I did something that was decidedly male…I started looking for things to take apart. Oh yes. There had to be something in the house to take apart. And we’re just going to leave the story as to what was disassembled there because you really don’t need to know more about that. What I will say is that this screwdriver is AWESOME and I’m loathe to give it up (ARGH!). For $10, I’m considering putting it on my wishlist. Mom, are you reading this? Everyone needs a good screwdriver. If I hadn’t said I’d give it away, I might have actually given it to her as a gift. We love the freebies.

However, now I have to give it to one of you. One slightly used and gleefully toyed with screwdriver is up for grabs.

It can be yours if you win.

Here’s how to enter:

1) Leave a comment before December 15, 2010 at 5pm CST telling me one thing you love about this time of year. (1 chance)

3) You can put a blueshelled.com blog button (seen in the sidebar-along with code to add it to your blog or website) on your blog or website, or if you already have one, you qualify, for 3 extra entries. I will verify this before your entries will count. Let me know it’s there and where I can find it. It’s pretty!

Earring Review and giveaway

Jillian — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 01:11:13 +0000

Every now and then a company will send me something and say “Please give my product an honest review.” I remind them that all of my reviews are honest and they might not like what I say. So far, no one has pulled out of their offer because of it. I received an email in August from the people at Diamondearrings.org asking me to review their earrings and letting me know they’d throw in a pair for me to give to a lucky reader if I’d like as well. I have super sensitive ears so my first response to them was “Well, sure, but I have to let you know that my ears hate even the most expensive of earrings so if they aren’t good quality, the review won’t be good.” I’m serious about that. I have what must be a nickel-allergy or something because, though earrings look great on me, my ears get irritated, puffy and red after I’ve worn them all day.

It could actually be post-traumatic stress from when I got my ears pierced. I only vaguely remember this. I was young. My mom could verify the age, but I’d guess I was 6 or 7 years old and I’d wanted them pierced for a while. Luckily for both of us, my mom’s best friend at the time was a beautician and she could do it for me. All went well until she pierced the first ear. Commence extreme wailing, gnashing of teeth and a refusal for her to do the second ear.

I wasn’t playing. There was to be no holding still for a second ear. I was doomed to go through life with only one ear pierced. One ear pierced with a fake gold stud and sapphire. I was going to look like someone from the boy-band Colour Me Badd. My mother wasn’t having it. She had to get creative. There was a happy meal in my future if I’d only consent to the ear piercing afterward.

I’m assuming I was bought because I have a hole in each ear. Actually, I have 2 holes in each ear as I got bold when I was around 14 or so. Regardless, I do believe the upset caused by that first encounter has given me a condition I call “angry ears.” It doesn’t let me wear earrings easily and I feared this review was going to be a nasty one.

It almost never happened. I never heard anything from the company and never saw anything in the mail. I deleted the emails and assumed that they decided against someone who was not a sure bet. I was wrong. My post office had held a package addressed to me for over a month because they “wanted to make sure it was me.”

…

I’ve always been me. I’m glad the post office figured it out.

Onto the review of the earrings from Diamondearrings.org. If you look at the site, the premise looks simple. You mention them on your blog, twitter, facebook, somewhere online, pay a cheapie fee for shipping and they send you some earrings that look like diamonds, but aren’t. Why bother? Because eventually they won’t do this anymore and they are going to rely on word of mouth for advertising and all those posts add up to some serious advertising.

Here’s why I think it’s going to work: The earrings are good. I was really pleasantly surprised. In the box, they looked a little bigger than what I’d normally wear. I’m a small earrings kind of girl and I require a clean look at all times. They wore really nicely, gave me a little bit of bling and I can wear them all day without experiencing ear fatigue or “angry ears.” I’m used to taking my earrings out and rubbing my ears for about 10 minutes. This was incredibly pleasant for me.

So, here’s what is going to happen. You are going to go look at the site and decide you want your own pair and enter my freebie giveaway to try to win a pair and avoid paying shipping or you’ll just try the deal on your own. One way or another, the earrings were really nice and a great surprise to me. Thanks again to the company for a new pair of classy, everyday earrings. I appreciate them greatly.

If you want to try your chances on my giveaway, here’s what you can do:

1) Visit DiamondEarrings.org and tell me what you think about the idea in a comment here.

For an additional entry each:

2) Stumble them on Stumble Upon

3) Twitter about them or this contest.

4) Facebook about them or this contest.

5) Write about them or this contest in your blog.

Things to know:
**Comments posted after the deadline (October 20, 2010 at 5pm CST) won’t be included in the drawing.
**If you win, you must email me your mailing address within a week of the drawing end in order to receive your prize. If you do not, I will re-draw for the prize. I am not responsible if you do not receive your prize. If it gets lost, etc., I’ll feel really bad, but I can’t replace it.

Giveaway #2: Sunpod flexpod minitripod gripper

Jillian — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:10:32 +0000

Have y’all had enough of the dog days of summer? This heat has about given me a stroke and I’ve had plenty of it. Congratulations to the winner of yesterday’s giveaway. Thank goodness I have this to look forward to every week because the air conditioner alone sure isn’t cutting it. I’m about to start bathing in ice cream just to stay cool.

I decided to break up the make-up and give the guys an opportunity to maybe participate this week if they wanted to do so as well. This time I’m giving away something I consider so cool it’s ice cold. This little flexpod minitripod gripper can hold digital cameras and camcorders and the best part is that you can wrap the legs around objects so it doesn’t require a flat surface to get your picture/video. It is one of the coolest little gadgets I’ve seen. See that amazed face in the picture. That was me saying “OoOOOoOoO.”

It can be yours if you win.

Here’s how to enter and the types of chances you can take to win. Please make one comment with a note to all of the things you’ve done to enter. All entries WILL BE VERIFIED. If it can’t be verified, it doesn’t count. If you make it easier for me to verify by linking me to it, I will like you more as a person

1) Leave a comment before July 15, 2010 at 5pm CST telling me one thing you’ve done or want to do this summer. (1 chance)

The magical month of July…Giveaways!

Jillian — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 13:23:46 +0000

Oh, July is sweltering. As someone who can’t seem to stay cool and has to change clothes frequently just to avoid the nasty, sticky feeling that occurs when sweat pools in those places that it’s inappropriate to dab in public, I have already had more than my share of dealing with this heat. Something good needs to happen and fast. “It is better to give than receive” and maybe, just maybe, if I give a little, then the air conditioning karma will blow some much needed ice my direction, eh?

As such, you’re in luck…I’m giving stuff away. And I’m not talking a little bit. I’m talking a little bit every week in the month of July. Every Friday new items will be posted for giveaway and you can win as many times as the randomizer hits your number, as long as you are in the U.S. (for my giveaways). I know. I’m a bummer, but customs is not my friend. HOWEVER, for the third week of giveaways, I’m working with the company Coveryourhair.com, and that lovely group will ship WORLDWIDE. So, don’t give up on me, please? I haven’t forgotten you at all.

The first giveaway is makeup and skincare! As you can see there is a Too Faced palette, some Oil of Olay skincare, some Estee Lauder skincare (for face AND body), Estee Lauder mascara and lip gloss as well as an ultra glam bag.

1) Leave a comment before July 8, 2010 at 5pm CST telling me one thing you’ve done or want to do this summer. (1 chance)

2) You can tweet this giveaway and/or link it on facebook and/or link to it on your own blog for extra chances to win! You can do this as often as you like, but it only counts once. (1 chance each)

3) You can add the blueshelled facebook page to your facebook pages! This is going to make me really happy. (2 chances)

Biggest Giveaway Ever-SkincareRx.com

Jillian — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:00:15 +0000

Since I started writing blueshelled.com, I have been very lucky to have the support of some excellent people. One of those companies is SkincareRx.com. For the last six months, they have been a proud sponsor of my site and have been quietly working behind the scenes to support me in any way possible. They are one of the companies that make it possible for me to write here and I want to say thank you.

Besides being awesome and supporting unknown bloggers, they also do fun things such as giveaways to the faithful readers of said unknown blogs. It is another way of supporting this blog and rewarding the people who spend time here and I am incredibly grateful for their support. As such, I’d like to direct you back to their amazing home page and ask you to give them a whirl.

They are offering a great line of Skinceutical Advanced Brightening products, as well as all of the amazing skincare stuff you love. The Advanced Brightening products are particularly good for damaged skin, as they decrease the effects of that damage as well as protect your skin. If you aren’t using skincare, now is a good time to get started. I can tell the difference in my skin on the days that I use skincare versus the days I don’t. Soap and water isn’t enough, especially with the pollution we encounter daily in the air around us. I’m a fan of even toned skin, as mine tends to be blotchy, and this particular set helps even out the skin tone, as well.

My favorite product in the set is the sunscreen. I hate sunscreen. I hate the way it feels. I hate applying it. I hate having it on my face and stinging my eyes. I actually tried this brand a couple of years ago and it’s the only sunscreen I’ll use on my face because I can apply it with a makeup sponge and it feels like there is nothing there. Ok, enough gushing about the skincare. You want to know about the prize, right?

You don’t have the money to invest in skincare? This is where I come in and SkincareRx.com helps you out. We’re offering a giveaway for my readers! It is the largest prize I have ever offered and I’m thankful to them for sponsoring it. A gift card to SkincareRx.com is up for grabs in the amount of $150! This is NOT just for women. Men have skin, too, that needs protection. Even if you aren’t into your skin, I’m sure you know someone who is. Mother’s Day is coming up. What better gift than a $150 gift card to a great site? It’s pretty easy to enter, too. Here’s what you do:

As the sponsoring blog I will track and validate all entries. So when you post here that you posted or retweeted. I will check to see if you did. The winner MUST provide me with their full name, email address and a mailing address. Those are the rules. If you can’t do it, you can’t win.

How can you enter?

SkinCareRx Giveaway Entries

1) One entry for becoming a fan of SkincareRx on FaceBook
2) One entry for following SkincareRx on Twitter
3) 2 entries for retweeting any one of my tweets about this giveaway
4) 7 Entries for a blog post with a link directed to Skinceuticals Advanced Brightening System. This blog post must have a minimum of 100 words and use the words “SkinCeuticals Advanced Brightening System.”

That’s up to 11 entries! Post here when you have completed all of the entries you’d like to complete and I will keep track of them. The contest will run for 2 weeks and the winner will be posted March 22, 2010. Good luck everyone!

The first two numbers drawn will get the planners and the person who doesn’t get drawn gets the palette! Everyone wins this time around!

Giveaway: Moleskine 2010 pocket planner

Jillian — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:20:29 +0000

It’s that time again! I realized, as I walked through Target’s hallowed aisle’s, that they had decided for me that I needed to be thinking about the future. This came to me as I saw Christmas decor next to the Halloween candy we were picking up to hand out to trick-or-treaters. I winced, as I am determined to live in the here-and-now, right now. Isn’t that how it needs to be sometimes? There are times you just have to go into survival mode and stick with the here and now.

Then again, I already have my planner for next year. I’m a planner-a-holic. I have gone through 4 of them this year alone. I’m pretty content with the one I have now, but I’ve only had it a month or so.

Don’t you judge me.

To help you prepare for the upcoming year, I’m going to give away a product from one of my favorite brands: Moleskine. I didn’t know about them until about 3 years ago, but I’m hooked. I love them and their products are well-constructed and quality goods. So, I bought one for you.

Here’s how to enter and the types of chances you can take to win:
1) Leave a comment before November 8, 2009 at 5pm CST telling me one thing you would like to see happen for you personally in the next year.

2) You can tweet this giveway and/or link it on facebook and/or link to it on your own blog for extra chances to win! Make sure you leave individual comments so all of your entries count.

3) New blog followers/subscribers get one extra chance! Make sure you leave an individual comment letting me know how you are following/subscribing.

4) Loyal blog followers/subscribers (meaning you’ve been here for at least the last week) get three extra chances. Make sure you leave an individual comment for each of these and let me know HOW you follow me. This is important so I can see how people are subscribing.

5) Follow me on twitter or already following me on twitter earns you 1 more. Don’t forget to leave an individual comment for this.

6) You can put a blueshelled.com blog button (seen in the sidebar) on your blog or website, or if you already have one, you qualify, for 3 extra entries. I will verify this before your entries will count. Let me know it’s there and where I can find it. It’s pretty!

**Comments posted after the deadline won’t be included in the drawing.
**If you win, you must email me your mailing address within a week of the drawing end in order to receive your prize. If you do not, I will re-draw for the prize.

Giveaway: Altec Lansing 360 Travel Speaker

Jillian — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:12:36 +0000

Fall is my favorite season. I love the clear skies, crunchy leaves, changing colors, and fall reminds me of the first time I fell in love. Fall is a great time of year. What better time to do a giveaway asking you about your fall feelings?

This week I’m sharing an Altec Lansing 360 Travel Speaker that is compatible with most items that have a headphone jack. I actually bought this a while ago in a Two-for-Tuesday on Woot. I wanted one for myself and wasn’t going to use the other one, but justified the purchase by saying I could always give one away to you all. I’m glad I did because I love my speaker. It’s about the size of a can of tuna (lawd, I hate tuna), and it’s about the same weight. I throw it into my briefbag for work and can easily pop it into my purse for school or on the go, as well.

Why bother with one of these? Sometimes you don’t want to wear headphones and other methods aren’t convenient. My office at work doesn’t have a computer and I don’t want to lug around my computer to work to listen to tunes. I have to be able to listen to what’s going on around me, so I can’t wear headphones. Or, if I want to go to the park, and blast my music a bit, I have it. Not that I ever go to the park, but there you have it.

It’s a handy little thing to have and I’m excited about this one. Look at the specs and then enter.

ipod not included

Here’s how to enter and the types of chances you can take to win:

1) Leave a comment before October 13, 2009 at 5pm CST telling me what fall means to you, a fall memory, or what you like best about fall. It can be any of those things.

I have a winner! Here are your random numbers:6 Timestamp: 2009-08-21 22:53:40 UTC .

Congratulations, loopy, on your toothbrush and refill set win.

If you are ticked you didn’t win, and I get ticked about not winning freebies all the time, so you are in good company, please don’t stress it. I will have another giveaway very soon. If the toothbrush was the only thing you needed to complete your life’s work, sorry about that. My bad.

Thanks again for reading my blog. It means a lot to me.

Sonic Vitality Toothbrush + 2 refills giveaway

Jillian — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:18:06 +0000

Ok, ok. I get it. The response to my other giveaways, since the big Stila one, have been lackluster at best. BUT, the thing to remember here is that the little giveaways were never meant to replace the big ones. I promise. The big ones were supposed to happen once a month, and they are, and the little ones are just to give you guys free stuff.

Feedback is good, though. If you guys aren’t interested in the little giveaways, please let me know and I’ll stop doing them. I don’t want to waste your time reading them or irritating you with them if you aren’t interested. If you are, I’ll keep on with the freebies.

Today, I have what I think is a GREAT giveaway. For one lucky winner, I have an Oral-B Vitality Sonic Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush and 2 refills to help get you through the next 9 months of your oral toothbrushing needs.

I think it’s great because I bought one of these myself and had some stellar results with it. My teeth feel squeaky clean and haven’t looked this good in years. Best of all, the Sonic Vitality Toothbrush has a built in timer, so I’m not tempted to brush fast and run. Which I generally do all the time.

Interested? Awesome. Here is what you have to do to enter for this sweet little gadget:

Here’s how to enter and the types of chances you can take to win:

1) Leave a comment before August 21, 2009 at 5pm CST telling me who your biggest influence has been in your lifetime.

2) For more chances, leave feedback regarding this blog. It can be positive or constructive. You can leave up to 3 separate feedback comments.

3) You can tweet this giveway and/or link it on facebook and/or link to it on your own blog for extra chances to win! Make sure you leave individual comments so all of your entries count.

4) New blog followers/subscribers get one extra chance! Make sure you leave an individual comment letting me know how you are following/subscribing.

5) Loyal blog followers/subscribers (meaning you’ve been here for at least the last week) get three extra chances. Make sure you leave an individual comment for each of these.

So chances are as follows:

New followers: Link blog, link FB, tweeting, 1 just because, 1 for being new and then 3 more if you want to give blog feedback = 8

Loyal followers: Link blog, link FB, tweeting, 1 just because, 3 for being loyal, and then 3 more if you want to give blog feedback = 10

Things to know:
**Anyone may enter as long as I can read your post (must be in English). If your country has rules about mailing toothbrushes that vibrate (???), please do not enter as I cannot guarantee you will receive your vibrating toothbrush.
**Comments posted after the deadline won’t be included in the drawing.
**If you win, you must email me your mailing address within a week of the drawing end in order to receive your prize. I am not responsible for anything that happens once this stuff leaves my hands. If it melts, gets lost, etc., I’ll feel really bad, but I can’t replace it.
**I will be using a randomizer to choose the winner of the giveaway. As long as your answer fits the criteria, you are eligible (unless you are me, Leon or A.J.)

Things to remember here: 1/You can always follow me on twitter to get sneak peeks at giveaways and find out when they are coming and 2/the giveaways are made possible by me.

I’d like to make my giveaways better, but that will only happen if I receive support via my paypal button or my wishlist (not required, but if you are happy with the site and want to support me, that’s awesome), both of which are located on the right hand side of your screen. If you wish to sponsor a giveaway item yourself or promote your own store/site, please contact me. Thank you!

We have a winner!

Mousepad Giveaway 18 hour support!

Jillian — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:13:25 +0000

Ok, it’s not exactly the “18 hour support” you thought it would be! Support your favorite “Southern mom blogger” by winning this gorgeous mousepad. I almost kept it myself, though I only have laptops, simply because I love the picture on it. I know, this giveaway isn’t as good as a new bike, but I don’t give away bikes and I do giveaway mousepads!

Click on the picture twice to see the larger version.

Since this is a small giveaway, I’m not going to make it hard on you. Comment here and let me know which type of computer system you prefer. I’m a MAC girl myself.

1) Leave a comment before August 14, 2009 at 5pm CST telling me what type of computer system you prefer.

2) You can tweet this giveway and/or link it on facebook and/or your own blog for extra chances to win! Make sure you leave individual comments so all of your entries count.

Things to know:
**Anyone may enter as long as I can read your post (must be in English).
**Comments posted after the deadline won’t be included in the drawing.
**If you win, you must email me your mailing address within a week of the drawing end in order to receive your prize. I am not responsible for anything that happens once this stuff leaves my hands (like getting lost in the mail).
**I will be using a randomizer to choose the winner of the giveaway. As long as your answer fits the criteria, you are eligible (unless you are me, Leon or A.J.).
