{giveaway} Laura's Lean Beef

I love the story behind Laura's Lean Beef. Laura Freeman didn’t set out to be the “Laura” in Laura’s Lean Beef. She just wanted to eat healthier and save the family farm. When Laura took over the family business in 1985, beef had developed a reputation for high total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, and many health-conscious people had cut back or given it up completely. Laura had these same concerns about food and health, but realized that as a farmer, she could make a difference. 

She began experimenting with lean, gourmet breeds of cattle like Limousin and Charolais and committed to raising them without hormones or antibiotics. She also believed that sustainable farming practices and humane treatment would produce happier animals and healthier food.

If you haven't tried Laura's Lean Beef, here's the perfect chance. Laura's Lean Beef is giving away TWO $25 vouchers to TWO lucky winners (a total value of $50).

All Laura’s cattle are raised naturally and fed a vegetarian diet of grasses and grains, without the use of anti-biotics or hormones.

Laura’s Lean Beef and Big Green Egg are once again hosting their Summer Grilling Sweepstakes. From May 27 through Sept. 2, 2013, one winner will be randomly selected each week to receive a summer grilling prize package including a Big Green Egg ceramic outdoor cooker, Laura’s Lean Beef products and an assortment of grilling accessories.

I'm sure, like me a lot of you cook with your iPad in the kitchen. But like me you may not have enough space on your counter... well if that's you, then you will love this giveaway.

THREE lucky winners will have the chance to win The Original Kitchen iPad Rack.

It's the perfect way to keep your very iPad safe from spills and accidents! The rack snaps into a special bracket that mounts under your kitchen cabinet.

Works for any iPad, whether in a cover or not, and any other tablet and even old-school paper cookbooks too! The patent-pending mounting system firmly holds the rack in place without bulky mounts or ugly brackets - - if in doubt check out this video link to see the Toddler Chef hammering away at it.

If you don't get picked to win and would like to purchase one, it's available on Amazon for $28.95 with free shipping.

{mother's day giveaway} Target + Sonia Kashuk Makeup Package

I'm so EXCITED to share this Mother's Day Giveaway with all of you featuring some of my FAVORITE items from the Sonia Kashuk collection with Target.

Sonia Kashuk, if you're not familiar with who she is, was a makeup artist for the stars. Her clients included Salma Hayek, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell, to name a few. After having children, she took a step back from the high-profile world of print and celebs and decided to pursue her new dream - creating an AFORDABLE, HIGH QUALITY line of makeup for the masses.

This became possible because of her partnership with Target. Her brushes and makeup are top-of-the-line, for a third of the price you would pay had she worked with another retailer (yes, same exact formula would be triple the price).

I had the privilege to meet Sonia in person on a trip to Target headquarters where I fell in love with her makeup. Since that trip, her makeup is all I use. I especially love the brushes – the quality is awesome, with soft bristles, and they make application so much easier. Her concealer is also a new favorite of mine, I like it even more than the high end products I was using before and paying a lot of money for.

To give you a taste of Sonia's line, I asked Target if they would host a giveaway and they agreed to giveaway $500 worth of Sonia Kashuk Makeup!

THE PRIZE:

Two Lucky Winners will each have the chance to win a Sonia Kashuk Makeup Bag loaded with brushes, eye shadows, lip gloss, nail polish, bronzer, and more (valued at $250 each).

{get screened giveaway} Win a Kitchen Aid + A Kindle!

Life is full of surprises. Some surprises are wonderful and enriching. Other surprises…not so much.

We often go to substantial degrees to make sure that we’re prepared for unhappy surprises—now it’s time to give ourselves a little of that preventive attention by finding out if you’ve got risk factors associated with certain hereditary cancers—Colon Cancer to be exact.

We know you’re busy, but Colon Cancer can be prevented! So take this quiz to find out if you’re at risk.

If it turns out you’re at risk, take the big leap and get screened. Knuckle down and get a colonoscopy if the occasion calls for it and try to spare yourself one unpleasant surprise. Better yet, there’s a genetic test to find out if you carry certain genes for hereditary colon cancer. Knowing this will help you map out your prevention plan specific to you. Remember to talk to your spouse and extended family and remind them to get screened as well!

Here’s the bottom line… we want you to get screened. So we wondered how to get that point across? A chance to win a brand new Kitchen Aid Mixer + a Kindle seemed logical to go BIG.

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED, CONGRATULATIONS TO STEPHANIE PORTER!!
