Birthday love with giveaway! - CLOSED

It's almost my birthday!!! Yeah! I know, I know...really, who gets excited about turning 28? I'm not really thrilled, but surprisingly enough I'm not having a major meltdown. Yes, I am shocked myself. So on Tuesday, September 29, I will turn 28! Yeah...not really. I'm just hoping my parents will watch Little Monkey long enough for me to go out to a peaceful dinner that doesn't include wrangling a toddler.

So in honor of my birthday, I thought I'd giveaway some presents for my readers! These are just some of my fave places ever!

The first prize a $10 Sephora gift card!
The second prize a $10 Starbucks gift card!
The third prize a $10 Dunkin' Donuts gift card!


I know having Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks together in the list of prizes seems like a big no-no, but I enjoy my Egg and Cheese Wake up wrap and munchkins from Dunkin' Donuts (their iced mocha latte is delicious, too) and I love my flavored coffees from Starbucks (their white chocolate mocha is yummy and I can't wait for the Gingersnap lattes this fall/winter). Hmmm...can we see why I suffer from a spare tire around my mid-section?! :) Food=Love, doesn't it?!

Alright, now onto the details...

IF I still celebrated my birthday.. which at my age is a BIG IF!!! I'd love to have a day sans off spring. Spend it at the Spa getting all be-U-ta-ficated w/my chicks (like YOU) then meet the DH for a nice quite dinner and some dancing.. like I could get him to dance! Happy Birthday my gorge pal, ENJOY!

Mari said...

I like to celebrate my b-day by going out to dinner, going book shopping (my vice!) and finishing the night off with a glass of wine on our deck in the evening.

Happy Birthday! I'm stopping by from SITS, since I love Starbucks, I'll play along.

I love to go to a really good restaurant...sans baby for my birthday. I get dessert, wine, and an appetizer.

Melting Pot is my favorite, and Italian is a close second.

KellieS said...

Well, Happy Birthday fellow Libra! I will be 43 on September 28th.

I already follow you, BTW.

I think that having dinner with loved ones at my favorite restaurant (chinese) is a great way to celebrate. This year my dad and stepmom are coming into town and taking me out.

Now for the dream bday; I would love for someone to treat me to my first hot air balloon ride! =)
