Slim Fast / Sephora winner is…

Posted on by

I tried the new Slim Fast grab and go bottle.  Taste’s fine to me.  Like the old one in the can, but no faint metallic taste.  I’m not a nutritionist so I can’t speak to all that, but I would rather chug a couple of those than eat the wrong food.

Now, keeping to one of my resolutions is weight loss ( I know so hack!).  I’ve been doing a MINIMUM of walking 30 min a day.  I’m going to try and not look back ( HARD).

I loved reading your resolutions and got some great ideas from them.

The winners were chosen at random so even if your resolution was inspiring, you might not have won.

Drum roll please…

The winners are: Beatrice and …. someone who hasn’t written me back yet!  I will give her till the end of the day and then go to the alternate pick.

Hey, Winners, comment here and let us know what you are going to buy with your gift card.

Thanks for playing.

Ever watched Oprah and just wanted to walk into her show sit on Suze Orman’s lap as she redoes your finances and have Dr. Oz look into your ears?  Well, that’s not going to happen, but the next best thing.
you could win a trip to go to  O You! O, The Oprah Magazine’s Signature Event.
 Look for the key under your seat!  I’m very excited to tell you that I have been chosen as the only blogger by Clorox to give away a trip to Atlanta to attend this SOLD OUT event.

All day Oprah’s faves..and OPRAH herself will be giving lectures on how to live your life to the fullest.  The tickets, if they were still for sale are $125. Clorox toilet wand is one of the sponsors of the event and is paying for one lucky Cool Mom viewer/reader to fly to Atlanta, putting them up in a hotel for the event October 15th.  I am going as well and will be doing some of my Cool Moming (yeah, it’s a verb) on the ground (Nate, oh Nate, it’s me, Daphne, we did a segment on Fashion Team once, oh Nate!)

Clorox, the makers of the ToiletWand, reached out to me to help promote this event. I will be attending the event, and my airfare and hotel is being taken care of.  Which means I also get to visit with my cousin Sue-Ellen, so that’s a plus.

Box-o-mania winner revealed!!

I always use a random number generator to pick the winner for Cool Mom giveaways, even still I find it very hard.  If it was left up to me I would have given it to about 5 of the most dear comments.  Because, I’ve become a convert to the magic of Box-O-Mania.  I feel like I blew money ( but then I had more) on the wooden play house. Rex in particular gets in the “Box” almost every day.  When Vivien has a playdate and he doesn’t feel included, sometimes he goes to the Box.  Sigh, Okay, drum roll

One lucky family is going to get the prize.

I didn’t pick the person, random number.  Happy for the winner, but the rest of you all, and THANKS for playing. Thanks for coming to Cool Mom!!

The winner is…

Megan Gleeson

Congrats Megan. I will give your contact to the Box O Mania rep.

Happy Playing!!

Bad Hair day winner!

I am glad I didn’t say I would determine who would win this contest. That would have been hard.  I so feel you thick, frizzy haired gals out there.  All the comments were great.  But the winner as chosen by random.org was

(drum roll) Becky!! of Happy Hour Mom– congrats.  Someone will be sending you your Rusk Blow dryer ( light as a feather) and Deep Shine oil treatment .

Frizzy hair people everywhere I must insist you buy this oil.  I am seriously developmentally challenged when it comes to my hair, but putting a little of this oil on when I get out of the shower I can style my hair. Not, super cute salon blow out, maybe someone else could.  It has really helped me look more beach babe, then homeless woman.

Thanks to all those who played. Thanks to Nancy O’Dell for turning me on to the Rusk love.  I have another giveaway contest next week that you will love.
