FREE Kindle Giveaway!

Written on November 9, 2009 by Becky in Sweepstakes

kindle-us-wireless I came across this contest that Noobie.com is having. They are giving away a free Kindle. If you are not familiar with the Kindle, here is a brief review:

“It’s hard not to love Amazon’s new e-book reader. For starters, it’s gorgeous. Unlike its bulky predecessor, the redesigned Kindle is light, thin, and disappears in your hands. If you think there’s no way you could ever get used to curling up with an electronic reader, you haven’t given the Kindle a chance. Load up a good book and you’ll soon forget you’re reading plastic rather than paper. You’ll also wonder how you ever did without it. The Kindle makes buying, storing, and organizing your favorite books and magazines effortless. You can take your entire library with you wherever you go and switch from reading the latest New Yorker to the latest best-seller without rolling out of bed. In my few days using it, I was won over: The Kindle is the future of publishing.” - Farhad Manjoo, Slate

Who wouldn’t want one of these, and for FREE? I love to read and I certainly think I would read more if I had an awesome gadget to go along with the experience. It takes 5 seconds (all you enter is your name and e-mail!). What do you have to lose?

Lose the Ugly! Find your Bliss.

Written on September 18, 2009 by Becky in Products, Sponsored, Sweepstakes, facebook

Do you have some ugly pictures? You know, the type that should never be shown again to anyone? Or maybe a picture of an old cell phone, or you rocking an old fad? Well LG wants you clear your ugly pics to Find Your Bliss….LG Bliss phone that is. Facebook users (18 and older) can upload an image or video of anything they consider ugly and want to lose. With the entry, you will be entered to win a brand new LG Bliss phone. Only 1 entry is allowed per Facebook account. The grand prize is the new LG Bliss phone and the secondary prize is a $50 gift card so you can buy your own bliss. There will be five grand prize winners and fifty secondary winners. User must be 18 years of age or older to enter contest.

The Gallery of the Utterly Ugly (located at LG Bliss Facebook Fan Page) is where you can lose their ugly stuff to clear the way for more Bliss, as well as browse through other people’s ugly leave-behinds. Examples include:

-Trashy Trends (fabulously ugly fashion)
-Mutant machines (these mutant machines and outdated electronics belong in the junkyard)
-Ugly wonders of nature (naturally occurring wonders that make even the ugly tree look good)
-Ugly-mobiles (rides that are heading non-stop to Ugly Town)
*Ugly behavior such as violence, indecency, or illegal activities aren’t tolerated. Photos of people are not allowed.

Since I lost all my pics with my hard drive last month, I thought I could not participate in the contest. However, I found the pic I took of my toe after I ripped off half my toenail in NYC:

Pretty ugly. Definately getting submitted. What are you waiting for?? Lose the ugly and find your bliss!

Partying at Rehab…Reality TV Just got Hotter!

Written on September 3, 2009 by Becky in Sponsored, Sweepstakes, Television, Travel

Since I rarely travel (although perhaps I will be visiting my folks soon in California), I have to live vicariously through reality TV shows. One show that looks like it’s fun is REHAB. No, it’s not about a rehab facility, it’s about Rehab, the party spot at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. Rehab makes it’s television home on TruTV, the people the bring you those “can’t look, but you can’t not look” disaster shows. I love their tagline: “Not Reality. Actuality.” Keeping this in mind, I believe this makes Rehab one must watch show. You will get an inside on look on how security and staff must keep the chaos under control. Check out this clip from last season:

So, based on the video above, this show has got a lot going for it: Las Vegas, alcohol, fights, drugs, hot guys, hot girls AND celebrity guests. What else could you want from reality TV?

They are having a sweepstakes too! Enter to win a chance to party like a rock star at Rehab at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino pool at their site: truTV’s Rehab. Good luck everyone! Maybe if we both win, I’ll see you by the pool! Check out REHAB on TruTV Tuesdays at 10p/9c.

I recently came across this sweepstakes, run by Charter. Although I’m not a PC person, I love FREE stuff…who doesn’t? Charter is following up on the success of their HDTV-A-Day Sweepstakes from last year (which unfortunately I didn’t hear about until now) with a new promotion that is giving away a laptop computer every day. The contest runs from July 15 through September 15, so you still have an entire month to win!

One winner a day will get an HP 550 Notebook 15-inch with Windows Vista and a NeoTec Compu Backpack. Don’t need a laptop? They are also giving away free gift cards ranging in value from $25-$100 with special online deals from major retailers in clothing, home and accessories, restaurants and more! There is something for everyone.

Charter has cleverly and successfully used social media to create a buzz around its online contests. Check out Charter on Facebook and Charter on Twitter. The online contests keep getting better. Last year it gave away laptops and Xbox 360 game systems and one customer drove away a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid (again, I wish I knew about that one at the time). Visit Laptop-a-Day Sweepstakes to register today and to view the complete rules, a list of winners, details on the notebook computer and more!
