Free Book- Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan

Just learned on Twitter (I am quicky falling in love with Twitter!) that you can download Suze Orman's new book 2009 Action Plan from Oprah's website. Thank you Feelslikehome, I appreciate your Tweet!

Hurry though, the free download expires on January 15th.

I have not had a chance to read the book yet, I was too excited to tell you all about it to wait, but from browsing the table of contents it appears the book addresses quite a few of the financial issues that are hitting many of us in this tough economic climate. http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20081119_tows_bookdownload

I am off to read the first chapter now. Ta ta!

I won a ruby pendant and earrings, you could too...

I am newbie on Twitter and honestly, I was a little unsure about the application. Would it be worthwhile, would I ever learn all the ettiquette rules (still working on that) and who should I follow, who would follow me, etc.

Well, I am officially a Twitter lover. I have been enjoying the conversations and the links to contests and yesterday I won a ruby heart pendant and ruby stud earrings from GemAffair. Thank you so much GemAffair and Katy, you made my week :-)

Want to get in on the contest? They are still giving away jewelry to 4 winners every day this week! Just head on over to Twitter and follow me beccaj73, then send me a DM (direct message) and I will send you the info on how to enter, or if you are an experienced Twitter user you can just check my history to find the @GemAffair tweets :-) A simple RT (re-tweet) gets you an entry into this great contest.

You can also check out GemAffair's website for some gorgeous jewelry and some great savings too! Use code GA28XMAS and get free shipping plus 10% off $150 orders and 20% off $300 orders. They have just added hundreds of items to their clearance section as well.

Good luck to you all, be sure to tell me if you win some bling too.

Avon Giveaway- 5 Winners!

My first review and giveaway, I'm so excited. Thanks so much to MomSelect and Avon!

I had the opportunity to try Avon Advance Techniques Professional Hair Care Instant Recharge Treatment. I received several varieties and tried the Intense Repair, which states it is for dry, damaged hair. Since this is winter in Minnesota, I figured dry just about sums it all up.

The product comes in a box with four separate weekly treatments and looks a little like the hot oil treatments I used way back in high school. Unlike the hot oil treatments, these required no preheating (a major plus- with 3 small kids, I like things streamlined). There was more than enough product in one tube to treat my just-past-shoulder-length hair. The first thing I noticed was the scent; it was reminiscent of my Pantene days. The next thing I noticed (and this is my only complaint) is how easy it is to lose the little white cap on the floor of a white bathtub! I had to get down on my hands and knees ('cause I am blind without my glasses) to find it before it went down the drain. Okay, it was actually kind of funny in retrospect.

Then the results; my hair was softer and more manageable all week, and after the second week's treatment it was even softer still. I am sold, the product really works.

Now for the fun part... this product isn't even available to buy yet (it should be out in January 2009), but I have 5 to give away to 5 lucky winners! I have-

*1 box Intense Repair
*2 boxes Frizz Control
*2 boxes Volumizing

As an additional bonus, Avon is offering free standard shipping on orders over $30 through January 1, 2009. Just enter the code JINGLE30, you can find an Avon eRepresentative here.

To enter, please visit Avon and leave a comment telling me what your favorite product is. Please also leave a note in your comment about which version of the Advance Techniques you would like to win. It's that simple!

For extra entries you can-
*Become a follower of my blog (if you are already a follower, just leave a comment to let me know)
*Subscribe to my RSS Feed
*Follow me on Twitter and tweet about this giveaway

Be sure to leave a separate comment for each additional entry!

The fine print-
Only one prize per person please. Must be 18 and a resident of the US or Canada to win. Entry deadline is 11:59 PM EST on 12/28/2008. Winners will be drawn using a numerical randomizer such as random.org and will be contacted via e-mail, so be sure to leave a valid e-mail address, either in your profile or comment. I will do my best to offer each winner their first choice if a preference is expressed, but can make no guarantees.

Free Dr Pepper

Dr Pepper is giving away coupons for a free single serve Dr Pepper (I believe they mean a 20 oz bottle by this) through Monday November 24th at 6PM EST. The giveaway was scheduled to run for a day on Sunday the 23rd, but, as I can attest, they seem to have had some technical difficulties, and so have extended the giveaway.

To get your free Dr Pepper you need to visit the Dr Pepper website and sign up. The process does not seem to be trouble free even yet, as I have been unable to get my form to submit. But I am hopeful, as I was unable to even access the form on Sunday.

The promotion is a result of Guns 'N' Roses newest album being released. Apparently there was a statement made by Dr Pepper that if the album actually did release in 2008 they would give America free Dr Pepper. If you care to learn more you can read an article here.

Now everybody sing along with me...I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper. Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too? Enjoy!

Thank you Emily for notifying me of this giveaway.
