Holiday Gift Guide Giveaway # 2

The holidays are just around the corner, and I couldn’t be happier. A few weeks ago, I went to mail a friends birthday present two days after Halloween was over, and the Christmas music was already playing. Love that. It’s never too early ;)

In fact, Christmas decorations and trees were decorated in the basement part of The Bay when I went shopping with my co-worker to buy some wrapping paper, and ended up buying a set of sheets instead. Oops.

At least they keep me warm — I love a classy look to the bedroom. Unfortunately, everything I buy is grey. Guess that’s my new favorite color shade.I’m just excited to go home for Christmas. There will be plenty of parties, family dinners, friends from all over the country flying back home and us all getting together. Plus, hanging out with my sweet little nephews.

For any guests or visitors, you need to have a clean home. Inevitably people will either be in the kitchen or the bathroom at some point in the evening.

Ain’t that the truth!

One day I’d love to be fortunate enough to hire a maid to clean our apartment. But right now, I’m the one who has to clean things.

I have a nice and easy way to clean up in a breeze, using these Rubbermaid products despite anyone’s busy work schedule.

Here I am getting rid of all the water marks in our shower. This scrubber-thing is a winner. It’s… WINNING! in my books (Sorry. Had to). Loved how abrasive the cleaning pads were. Little elbow grease was used here, and I made the Rubbermaid scrubber do all the work! ha!

You guys get to win one of these mop sets too, valued at $50.00. YAY!

 Contest is only open to Canadians.

A few questions on what you can leave in the comments, for your blog post entry!

Do you have any holiday traditions?
We do! On Christmas morning, everyone opens their gifts at home. Then, with our PJs still on, we put on our winter coats ‘n boots and head over to the neighbours house to have Christmas breakfast, coffee and open a few more gifts. It’s always something I look forward to.

Do you have a set day that you clean? or do you clean as you go?
I would love to be a clean-each-day person. But I honestly wouldn’t stop running around if I did that. I usually keep the kitchen very clean on a daily basis, because otherwise I’d get overwhelmed.

How often do you clean your shower?
Gotta be honest. I only clean my shower walls when it looks like I haven’t done it in a while. As for the bathtub, sinks and toilet – those suckers get cleaned on a weekly basis. There’s nothing more gross than a dirty bathroom.

Holiday Gift Guide #1

Remember I said I’d give away a few items in my Holiday Gift Guide? Well, here is the start of it.

Every day this week I will be giving away something different on the blog! I am so excited to share this all with you. Keep checking back every day for different contests.

Up for grabs today is the mini KQC hair straightener from Flat Iron Experts. I’m sure you all are familiar with me blogging about Flat Iron Experts. They’ve been so generous to me over the past few years now, and it’s only best that I give back to my readers with a giveaway from them!

Flat Iron Experts now has a blog, and it’s not just about flat iron’s believe it or not. They’ve taken blogging seriously and have started talking about all sorts of things. One thing in particular that brought me back to reading them just once, when they shared the link with me (hey, I’m being honest!) — is that they’re so diverse. They talk about recipes, keep you up to date on new hair styles and products they have coming out.

They even suggested I do a giveaway on my site. So I’m trying to help them gain some quality readership by hosting a giveaway, and have everything focus on them rather than me and my site. It’s all about giving back. Happy Holidays, right? :)

I have to be honest. When I received the KQC mini hair straightener I wasn’t expecting it to be so miniature. It’s super cute, and easy to throw in a travel makeup bag, or even in your purse if you have some pretty unruly hair that you feel the need to bring a hair straightener around with you. haha!

This ceramic flat iron only has one heat setting (up to 410°F) and it actually has worldwide voltage. I don’t know how practical it would be on really thick unruly hair. Mine is pretty thin and fine, and doesn’t have much trouble getting straight with one pass-through. So I personally really like it. It’s the baby version of my other KQC hair straightener that I try not to use much since I’m taking a long break from heat-styling products on my hair, to grow it out. But sometimes I just really want to have sleek, straight hair that lasts all day. So I go at it.

Want one?  Enter away! Contest is only open to Canadians.

Ladbrokes Contest

We all love an adventure. Adventure has different meanings for different people, of course, and whilst some of us might want to scale mountain peaks and bungee jump off high cliffs, others are content to try out an adventurous new recipe or crafting activity. So often, however, we dream up adventures in our head that never materialise in real life. There’s so often too little money or time. Other commitments get in the way of our adventurous spirits.

But life is too short for that! I’ve teamed up with Ladbrokes, who are celebrating their great range of slot games, to offer one lucky reader a $200 Silver Freedom Voucher for PerfectDay so they have the chance to go on an adventure.

There are plenty of options to choose from so your adventure can be as bold as you like! You can try your hand at rock climbing, dog sledding, pottery, wine tasting and archery – so whatever your idea of an adventure, you’ll be catered for. Whether you want to get your adrenaline going, or relax in a spa, this is the competition for you.

To have a chance of winning this prize, just comment on this post and let me know what adventure you would go on if money was no object. A winner will be chosen at random on October 29th and notified by email – so don’t forget to tell me your details! The prize can only be redeemed in Canada so Canadian residents or those who are willing to travel only, unfortunately. Good luck!
