In my Yubo Lunchbox review posting, I wrote about this very cool new lunchbox system. And they are actually giving one away for FREE in celebration of Earth Day! But hurry – you must submit your entry by 4/22.

Celebrate the planet with yubo’s Mother Earth Photo Contest. In honor of Earth Day, yubo is holding a contest asking eco-conscious kids to submit their favorite/best “Mother Earth” photos. yubo will collect photo submissions and choose a winner based on the guidelines below. yubo will then create faceplates from the winning photos and offer them for sale as Mother Earth faceplate designs (as seen below). Net profits from the sale of the Mother Earth faceplates will go to the Earth Day Network. Each entrant will receive $10 off a yubo purchase and the winner will receive $50!

Who: Entrants must be under the age of 11 in order to qualify to win.

What: Photos will be judged based on originality, creativity, photo composition and how well the pictures answer the question: ‘What does Earth Day mean to you?’.

When: Deadline for entry is 4/16/10. The winner will be chosen and announced on 4/22/10, the 40^th anniversary of Earth Day.

How: Each entrant MUST submit 2 corresponding original photos (MUST be taken by person entering contest). Become a yubo Facebook Fan and upload the 2 images to the yubo Facebook Fan Page.

Good luck!!

We are SO excited about our new products!! (ok technically 2 of the products are not totally new but they haven’t been available on the website yet so we’re sticking with “new”) So to celebrate we’re having a contest – from today through Wednesday, June 17th.

The contest is totally easy and fun – just go to:

www.gardengirlskincare.com

then search the website until you find the 3 new products. (Hint: They are clearly labeled as “new” so it won’t take long!) One of the products was based on customer feedback – for those of you who participated in the survey a couple of months back when we asked what product you would be most interested in – we used that information to develop this product!

Once you have found the new products, send an email to contest(at)gardengirlskincare.com and list:

1) The names of the 3 products. HINT: One product sort of counts as two – it’s the same but 2 versions. The Hand it to You pump bottle is not new – although clearly I need to change that on the website
2) Why you would like to try them

It’s that easy. Then we will select a winner on Wednesday and post the results on Thursday!

Now for the best part – the winner receives ALL THREE products!! Wahoo! Once you find out what they are – I think you’ll be very eager to win. They are all really great.

So what are you waiting for? Start searching!

My 8 year old son just drew the winner for the Smooches/Hugs giveaway! The winner he drew was:

I just picked the winner of the first Garden Girl product giveaway. I have to say – this was fun and it was great to see all the entries. I loved the creative ones! Next time I might have the winner be “most creative” – but this time it was random.

So here’s the big winner:

Tame (Chrysalis1975) – please email me at kristin at gardengirl.us – I don’t have your email address!

CONGRATULATIONS, Tame!! You chose Smooches chocolate mandarin body butter – excellent choice. My boys think it smells like a Tootsie Roll. I think it’s just plain yummy. And it is a fantastic moisturizer packed with aloe and shea. It’s rich and thick – and free of parabens, phthalates and petroleum products too!

I loved doing this so keep your eyes out for more – might make this a regular thing!
Thanks again to all participants!

I’m winding down for the night but I am finding myself in a giving mood – so I’m thinking I will do something new! Here’s the deal – I’m giving away the winner’s choice of either Pucker Up Coconut sugar scrub OR Smooches chocolate/mandarin body butter (4 oz) to one lucky winner. No strings, no hoops, no gimmicks. Simply post a comment here on this blog stating which one you’d prefer to win and why. Entries will be accepted until midnight Friday (Dec 12) and I will post the winner on Saturday. Don’t forget to give your email address so I can notify you if you win!

Don’t forget – all Garden Girl products are free of parabens, sulfates, petroleum products and phthalates.

Good luck!! And feel free to let others know about the contest as well!
