Another Smartfish Ergo Motion Mouse giveaway!!

It is always a disappointment to not win a giveaway, but second chances are awesome when it is an item that you really really want to win . . . so here is another chance for all of us!  Hurry . . . it ends tonight!

Since I just about live on my computer and have had problems with my right hand, this is a giveaway that I REALLY want to win!!  It is actually a purchase that I have been wanting to make, but can't realistically afford at this time.  What a treat that would be!

The Smartfish Ergo Motion Mouse features a patented pivot base that for the first time allows the mouse to move with your natural hand and wrist positions, adapting to your unique movements while you work. The mouse will rock, swivel or pivot with your movement so your hand and wrist are never in a fixed position. This creates a far more comfortable and healthy mousing experience than what you can actually get from a traditional mouse or the touch pad in your laptop. 

Want a chance to win this awesome mouse?  Click on the button to go to Deb's blog and enter this giveaway . . .

I found a giveaway that Sarah at PS Mom Reviews is offering . . . three Mead OrganizHer products she is featuring for one lucky person to win! You will receive the Shopping Companion, Write 'n Wipe Meal Center, and Week-to-Week Magnetic Notepad.


The Mead OrganizHer products are available in Target stores or you can hop over to Sarah's website and enter to win this giveaway!

I won! Donna Karan / Estee Lauder giveaway

Cosmetics is what I go shopping for when I get that need to shop.

It has been said that in poor economic times, lipstick is a big seller, so it looks like there are many others like me!  "Feel good about yourself" stuff is always a good thing for mood elevation!

I was so excited to find a giveaway featuring department store brands Donna Karan and Estee Lauder.  The Estee Lauder brand has been one of my favorites for many years . . . I WON . . . what a treat!!!

A huge thank you to Julie at I Am Jewelz for hosting this giveaway!

You have to enter giveaways to win them!

New wins!!

I'm so grateful for all of you bloggers offering giveaways!

If you have recently discovered giveaways  and love them as much as I do, check out the listing of my favorite giveaway sites.  They are listed on the sidebar of this blog!  The list grows daily.

One of the reasons I started this blog is to show appreciation to those host blogs and sponsors who go through all the trouble of putting these giveaways together . . . it is a lot of work!  

A huge thank you to all of you . . . 

you are awesome!

Another reason . . . to help support these bloggers by letting others know that people do win these giveaways!

Here are some recent wins:

I have been trying to win the many items that Tropical Traditions has sponsored for giveaways.  This week I was the lucky winner of a quart of Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil.  

I can't wait to try it out as a healthier alternative since I love to stir fry and pan fry in my cooking.  It is also used in baking or as a spread (like butter).

Thank you to Marilyn for hosting this giveaway . . . I am looking forward to receiving my prize!

I have a weakness for health and beauty items . . . especially cosmetics . . . and I enter just about every one of these type of giveaways.  It is stuff I usually purchase anyway or I get a treat and try new products for free.  

Free is a good thing!

I was thrilled to get the email from Carol at Retail Therapy Lounge announcing that I was one of the winners in her giveaway sponsored by Ancient Stones for mineral makeup and fixative.  Woohoo . . . I was almost out of my mineral makeup and look forward to trying a new brand!

The irony of this giveaway is that I found it just as it was ready to close and I almost didn't enter cause I thought I didn't have enough time.
