Do you need a new bra? Win a bra makeover from Playtex

If you are like me, you wait a long time to get a new bra because you are so busy in your everday life. As an aunt, I'm busy going to school, nannying, chasing after my niece and nephews, and taking care of my furkid. This doesn't even include the cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry or the unexpected things that arise throughout the week.

Lucky for us, Playtex is doing a contest where 10 women will be selected for a bra makeover and they will also star in a eposide of their own. You might be asking why you will be starting in eposide, well you are going to be getting a fitting from Alison Deyette. Alison is style expert who has been featured in The Washington Post, O Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and has been featured on Bravo as well as TLC's Ten Years Younger.

There will be 10 webisodes where each woman will get fitted from Alison Deyette and will walk away with Playtex Products. The new eposides will premier every two weeks at http://www.playtexbramakeover.com/ .

To be entered in this great makeover, you must get your reply in by Friday,May 21,2010.

~Fact: 7 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong bra size which can cause back pain, shoulder pain, and can cause digging.~

Want your own personal shopper for FREE

Are you like me and you don't have very much time on your hands to search the net to find deals on things you want in clothes. You find an item you love in a catalog and you go to the website a few days later to find it sold out..doesn't that make you upset. Well why not have your own personal shopping assistant and it is free..Shop It To Me is the answer to your clothes and accesories needs.
Your probably asking what Shop It To Me is..It is a website that is built to be your personal online shopper. You pick from over 638 designers like Levi, Victoria Secrets, OshKosh, Old Navy, and many more. It will then have you mark down your size for shirts, pants, shoes, and many other choices. You will then set your email alert to alert you once a week, twice a week, or as often as you like to recieve the deals from the designers you choose.
Why I like this website:
1.)Sends me alerts on designers I like with the sizes that I need
2.)Lists deals, secret promotional codes, and VIP Event Sales
3.)Saves you money because it gives you the heads up on deals and mark downs
4.)It takes you to the retailers website so you can order and if you need to return there is no middle man.
5.) Best of all..It is FREE!!

There is a perk to this, not only will you get a heads up on items marked down, but you can earn $10 gift cards for every 10 friends you invite and sign up under you. You can get up to $150 in gift cards for 150 friends signing up. I already have earned my first gift card.
