Jewels By Jazzy Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED. YOU'LL FIND THE WINNERS HERE

http://outoftheboxsampler.blogspot.com/2010/05/winners-of-our-giveaways.html

I was so excited when I ran across this shoppe about a month ago. Jewels By Jazzy has some of the best, quality made jewelry available to adorn yourself with! Their newest venture includes Grungeboard Bracelets.

So I'm sure your asking, "what is grungeboard?" To directly quote their website, "Grungeboard is made from recycled, compressed paper based products. It's a 'Green' product. Super thin in thickness, lightweight and flexible. It feels and smells a little like leather - but it's grungeboard!"

Janis, the owner and creator of these beautiful products, was so sweet to send me one for myself. It absolutely gorgeous and I just love it!

Jewels By Jazzy was also gracious enough to send in 25 grungeboard bracelets for the May sampler boxes at Out Of The Box Sampler! There are still a few boxes left here that have these bracelets in them!

And, Janis has also provided 2 of them for this giveaway!

But first, just a couple other facts about Jewels By Jazzy. They also make earrings, necklaces and regular metal/stone bracelets too. Their prices are extremely reasonable. Check out a couple of my favorites that I found in her shoppe:

Cool Therapies Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED. YOU'LL FIND THE WINNERS HERE

http://outoftheboxsampler.blogspot.com/2010/05/winners-of-our-giveaways.html

Everything about this business screams "COOL!" Cool Therapies bath n body products are just incredibly pampering to your skin.

You'll only find 2 types of products on their website: Bath Soaks and Body Scrubs. But, they come in plenty of different scents that you're sure to find perfect for you. I've always believed that you can spead yourself too thin in trying to please everyone but carrying a million different products and that you should pick a few that you're really good at and make them the best they can be. I think this company does just that.

Cool Therapies has been in the Out Of The Box Sampler for the last couple months, so if you've purchased a box and been lucky enough to get one of their samples, you'll know they are awesome!

Well, up for grabs in this week's giveaway are 4 full size jars of bath soaks! Two are in Lavender Chamomile Therapy, one in Eucalyptus Muscle Relax, and one in Grapefruit Exotic Detox. I must say I was tempted to snag the Grapefruit one for myself, but sharing is much more fun.

Let's make this giveaway simple too.

Run over to the Cool Therapies website and tell me what your favorite product is. Come back here and post it and also your email address so I'll be able to contact the winners!

If you'd like to earn an extra entry, you can head over to the Out Of The Box Sampler's website and check out our "Who Is In The Box" page and tell me what Cool-Therapies sent in as their sample's for the May boxes. Be sure to leave a seperate comment for the extra entry to count!

There will be 4 winners drawn at random using http://www.random.org/. All winners will be notified by email and will have 24 hours to contact me with their shipping information, otherwise a new winner will be drawn.

Good Luck

Aroma Energie Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED. YOU'LL FIND THE WINNERS HERE

http://outoftheboxsampler.blogspot.com/2010/05/winners-of-our-giveaways.html

Aroma Energie has a very unique line of candles geared toward helping you restore your energy and keeping your Chakras in alignment. If you're like me, you'll have to google the word Chakras. I had absolutely no idea what they were or anything about them. I'm not going to go into detail, you'll have to use your mad google skills to find out for yourself. But let me just say, that I found it to be interesting reading.

But what you'll find at Aroma Energie are soy based goodies in all different kinds of scents.

They participated in the Out Of The Box Sampler and sent in 100 samples of their soy floating candles and now their a member of our 100 Club on our blog. Their candle samples smelled wonderfully! They've also sent in 2 full size candles for me to giveaway this week. I'm going to make this giveaway very simple.

Here's the rules:

Just visit Aroma Energie's website, then come back here and leave me a comment of what you would like to try from their product line. Please be sure to leave your email address so I will have a way to contact you if you're the winner.

Two winners will be picked, at random, using http://www.random.org/ and then posted here too. Winners will have 24 hours to contact me with their shipping information, otherwise a new winner will be picked.

Good Luck!
