This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dove Ice Cream. All opinions are 100% mine.
Win a four-day/three-night trip for two to Napa Valley, California, including round-trip coach class air transportation, standard hotel accommodations, spa treatments, guided bus tour of local wineries and a four-day car rental (or the winner may choose to receive a $5,000 awarded as a check instead) in the “My Mini Moment” contest from Dove. Limit one entry per person. Open to residents of the 48 contiguous United States (void AK, HI), ages 21 or older. Contest ends June 7th, 2010.
The makers of Dove Ice Cream Miniatures miniatures conducted a survey of over 400 mothers. 70 percent replied that “Me-time” is very important to them. Therefore, Dove is now asking women to share their favorite mini moment of escape for a chance to win great prizes.
As soon I checked out the website, I totally forgot about entering the contest, as my mouth started to instantly water over the photos of the Dove Miniatures…
And then reading about them made my stomach start to growl even more: “Enjoy little bits of heavenly ice cream paired with scrumptious Dove chocolate. With 70 calories or less, they’re the perfect guilty pleasure.” I don’t even drink coffee, but the Cafe Collection: Cappuccino and Java Chip look absolutely to-die-for.
Sure only seventy calories sounds too good to be true, but my guess is that I won’t be able to just eat one! Anyone have a coupon so I can go buy these?!

Abbott Medical Optics Inc. recently announced the winners of the “You Gotta See This” iLASIK Video Contest. Entrants had to make a video showing how having improved vision would impact their lives for the better, and in return, they had a chance to win cash (that they could use for Lasik eye surgery) and various prizes.
I didn’t personally enter as I’ve already had Lasik eye surgery. And I suck at making videos. But congratulations are in order for the winners listed below. I highly recommend Lasik eye surgery to anyone. I love not having to squint to see the alarm clock in the middle of the night anymore. I love not having to fumble for my glasses on the night stand. And I especially love not having to deal with buying and putting in contacts, buying contact solution, losing contacts, and getting stuff in your eye while wearing contacts, etc.
Here is a list of the prizes and links to the respective winners’ videos:
$5,000 Grand Prize – “You Gotta See This Music Video” by Alex
Category 1: My Contacts Are Getting In The Way Of My Good Time
First Prize: An HDTV package ($2,500 value) – “You Gotta Be Kidding Me! A True Story” by Robbo
Second Prize: Flip UltraHD™ camcorder ($199.99 value) - “Contacts Stink” by windysail
Category 2: My Favorite Sport Or Activity Would Be So Much Cooler With Better Vision
First Prize: An HDTV package ($2,500 value) – “iLASIK Would Make Surfing More Enjoyable” by jhbmw007
Second Prize: Flip UltraHD™ camcorder ($199.99 value) – “Foggy Riding” by Snowman
Category 3: You Should See Life After The iLASIK® Procedure
First Prize: An HDTV package ($2,500 value) – “Orbs Of Perfection” by Danny V
Second Prize: Flip UltraHD™ camcorder ($199.99 value) “Army LASIK” by ahowalton
Congratulations to the winners! Although it’s too late now to enter the iLASIK Video Contest, you can still visit the site to see all the entries plus register to receive valuable eye care products, such as a free bottle of Complete Multi-Purpose Solution! Who doesn’t love free stuff!?

Win a contemporary Southwest-style home situated in the shadow of the breathtaking Sandia Mountains in Sandia Park, New Mexico in the HGTV Dream Home 2010 Giveaway! The grand prize package (worth more than $2 million) also includes $500,000 cash and an all-new 2010 GMC® Terrain vehicle. Enter Daily; US residents only; ages 21+; Contest ends February 19th, 2010.
Speaking of new homes, did you know about all the 2010 Homebuyer Tax Credits available? If you qualify, now is the time to buy real estate!
The federal income tax credit for homebuyers has been extended and expanded to now include homeowners who wish to “move on” after 5 years of living in their current property, as well as first-time homebuyers.
- First-time homebuyers, or those who have not owned in the last three years, can receive up to an $8,000 tax credit
- Homeowners who have lived in a current home consecutively for 5 of the past 8 years can receive up to a $6,500 tax credit
- There may be no future extensions, so all qualified homebuyers are urged to act and have a written, binding contract by April 30, 2010 (close by June 30, 2010)
- Income limits are now $125,000 for singles, $225,000 for married couples with a $20,000 phase-out of the credit for both.
I know several of my friends and family members that are taking advantage of these new homebuyer tax credits. In fact, my brother is holding off proposing to his girlfriend and getting married to buy a house first, since his fiance-to-be qualifies for the 2010 tax credit! Actually they are building a brand new home in Kansas City that I can’t wait to see when it’s done! I guess love does have boundaries when it comes to taxes!
I know my brand new house is only three years old, but now that I know all the things I would do differently, I would love to build a new house again! But unfortunately I don’t qualify for the tax credit since it’s only been three years and not five. I wonder if they’ll extend the offer next year and/or the year after? Maybe. I hope so.

Win a Club House Gravy Prize Pack including a variety of Club House Gravy products and spices, an apron, an Emile Henry baking dish and a gravy boat from McCormick Canada / ClubHouse.ca by visiting their newsletter sign-up and contest entry page. This contest is for Canadians only. I could not access the Rules & Regulations page since I am from the United States. Could one of my neighbors to the north please comment with entry restrictions? Thanks.
While on the website, I did check out a gravy tips video as I suck at making gravy, and I’m hosting fifty people here for Christmas! It appears that Club House Gravy is easy to prepare and delivers great tasting gravy that your family will love. Preparing gravy for the Christmas meal is as easy as using a Club House Gravy mix, adding your roast drippings and simmering. Sounds easier and better than using bouillon cubes and corn starch like my mother uses. I’m hoping I can convince her to make the gravy again this year, since I won’t be able to get any Club House Gravy mix before Friday!
Just writing about gravy is making me hungry for mashed potatoes! My cousin usually makes those with lots of butter, cream cheese and sour cream. Yum! Happy Holidays!
