Pay it Foward Contest
Are you as excited about our Group Effort Pay it Forward contest as I am? Probably not, as I am disproportionately excited about it. It’s just what my summer doldrums have been begging for.
In case you’re not exactly sure what a Pay it Forward contest is, I’ll offer a brief explanation. You enter the contest and if you win, you will get a package from me. Sounds like a regular ol’ contest, doesn’t it? BUT IT’S NOT! If you win, you then have to have a contest on your blog and send a package to the winner. See? You win something and then you Pay it Forward by awarding a prize to someone else who, in turn, has to have a contest on their blog. And it keeps going until we’ve decided enough already! Nifty, huh?
I’ve opted to shop for the winner after they’re chosen, instead of offering a one-size-fits-all kind of a prize. I’d like to personalize it just for YOU when you win : )
Official Contest Rules:
The contest is open until Friday, July 4th at noon edst. I’ll be out of town, but will pick the winner when I get back home on Saturday. Then, we’ll chat via email and you’ll give me your vital stats. Then, I get to go to Target and buy cute things for you!
Your entry will be your comment answering this question: What’s the one indulgence you try to treat yourself to on a regular basis?

I get a pedicure once a month. It costs about $20 (with tip) but I just love having that 45 minutes to myself!

Getting sushi with a girlfriend once a month

Chocolate!

Going for a girl’s night out with friends once every other month!

Hi, I lurk here a lot but don’t think I’ve ever commented.
In the summer, it is pedicures for sure. My all the time guilty pleasure is coffee on my way in to work, instead of making it at home.

YAY! This is fun. Hmmm. Indulgence on a regular basis? Coffee from a real coffeehouse. Yeah.
10 mom of the year said this (June 30, 2008 at 9:03 am)
Coffee…everyday. My husband HATES coffee. The smell, the taste, everything.
11 Shannon said this (June 30, 2008 at 9:09 am)
I had better win one of these damned contests, I’ll tell you that much.
Coffee. And Wine.

Clearance baked goods from the grocery store. Mmmmm, thrifty.
13 Parkingathome said this (June 30, 2008 at 9:11 am)
unfortunately I indulge in chocolate a little too often!
14 aimee said this (June 30, 2008 at 9:17 am)
ICE CREAM and a girlie movie all in one night!
15 Miz said this (June 30, 2008 at 10:07 am)
Love this! I love going out with my best friend at least once a week. Lunch, shopping, even window shopping, it’s the one thing that keeps me SANE in this very INSANE world.
That, and reading blogs, like yours!
HUGS!

Oh this is hard…. I have a few indulgences, I have to say. Let’s go with chocolate.
17 Whimsy said this (June 30, 2008 at 10:57 am)
Ice cream, usually. Although sometimes when I go to the Baskin/Dunkin I end up with donuts instead.

Recently, I’ve been indulging in orange sherbet with chocolate chips. WAY better than it sounds.
19 Fiona Picklebottom said this (June 30, 2008 at 11:19 am)
Mmm…I play with a brass band once a week guilt free. Hubby gets dinner detail AND bedtime. I love it.

I get a manicure/pedicure. I try to go with friends but even if its on my own I find it relaxing and it helps me feel more put together.

movies
23 Sara said this (June 30, 2008 at 12:49 pm)
I don’t know if I have enough readers for a contest, but it sounds like fun! I would have to say ice cream from Braums.
24 Kim said this (June 30, 2008 at 1:24 pm)
I buy earrings at Target about once a month. Usually silver ones. I need to branch out. Also, unsweet iced tea from anywhere almost daily.
25 nicole said this (June 30, 2008 at 1:53 pm)
I try to get a massage once a month. It was originally necessary because of back issues, but now I believe it helps my back and my sanity. I would be hard pressed to give it up.
26 Kelsey said this (June 30, 2008 at 2:28 pm)
Naps. Which I am sure I will not be able to indulge in nearly as often when the baby arrives. . . or books. I love to buy books.
27 emily said this (June 30, 2008 at 2:45 pm)
Manicures. Although my nails are looking horrible right now!
28 Michelle said this (June 30, 2008 at 3:21 pm)
definately dark chocolate! or massages too!! I really like them both.

Icecream
yummy yummy icecream
30 Emblita said this (June 30, 2008 at 3:29 pm)
Books and reading. And magazines, although, I’m trying to curb that habit- too much clutter!
31 Barb @ getupandplay said this (June 30, 2008 at 3:50 pm)
Reading. I love to hide in the other room and read a book. And blogging.

Pepsi. Caffeine-free. I love that stuff.
34 Beth said this (June 30, 2008 at 5:19 pm)
Ice cream. Which is why my waist-to-hip ratio is all out of wack.
35 Misty said this (June 30, 2008 at 7:27 pm)
Hmm….starbucks. Or pastries. Or pasties, because that’s what I almost typed the first time. Pretty big difference between pastRies and pastIES. ouch!
36 Danielle-Lee said this (June 30, 2008 at 8:35 pm)
Chinese food from my favorite place. I swear if it weren’t so expensive and fattening, I would have it for every meal!
37 Maggie said this (June 30, 2008 at 8:36 pm)
Really good coffee. Seaport Dark Roast.
38 NotAMeanGirl said this (June 30, 2008 at 9:49 pm)
a bowl of Bryers cookies and cream ice cream every night after the boys go to bed.
39 Janice said this (June 30, 2008 at 11:27 pm)
New shoes. I don’t do it that often, but when I do, I go a little crazy. And yes, I am also so excited about all these contests.
40 Missy said this (July 1, 2008 at 5:47 am)
I would have to say going out to eat. I love me a good restaurant meal, where I don’t have to do any cooking or cleaning!
41 Becky said this (July 1, 2008 at 6:04 am)
I would have to say Sushi. I can’t do it on a regular basis (hi, checking account, we’re still friends right?) but I have to have it at least once a week.
42 Ashley said this (July 1, 2008 at 8:28 am)
I would love to say that my favorite indulgence are spa services, but since having kids, I’ve scaled very far back and would be happy with a tall cup of cappuccino in the morning. I’m simple. Really.
43 Laura said this (July 1, 2008 at 11:35 am)
Getting my hair cut and colored. It’s expensive but it always feels so good.
44 SassyPants said this (July 1, 2008 at 12:04 pm)
Since I was pregnant this last time, and since she was born 5 weeks ago, definitely chocolate in some form. It’s very necessary.
45 Heather said this (July 1, 2008 at 12:47 pm)
Ice Cream and Weekend Naps.
46 EMama said this (July 1, 2008 at 1:15 pm)
Sleep, which shouldn’t be an indulgence, except that it is.
47 Miss Grace said this (July 1, 2008 at 1:56 pm)
I’ve given up all indulgences, but the last to go was pedicures.
48 bethiclaus said this (July 1, 2008 at 2:31 pm)
I love getting pedicures. Definitely my favorite way to indulge myself!
49 Playful Professional said this (July 1, 2008 at 3:36 pm)
