Win 6 months of Skype Live Group Video Chat & a Web Cam!

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Skype Newlywed GiveawayExciting news!  We have a really fun and functional giveaway this month: a 6 month Skype voucher that allows the winner and up to 9 of her friends to communicate via video chat at the same time!! The folks at Skype are also including a FREETALK Buddy Cam, which plugs into your USB drive for instant video chat!

Think of all the fun things you can do and plan via live video chat with 9 of your gal pals. You can easily overcome the long-distance dilemma of working with a destination wedding coordinator or the bridal party planning with any of your bridesmaids who are out of state.  Another fun idea is to plan a virtual happy hour with all of the friends that live too far away to regularly meet up.

With help from the ever-simple Skype, the Bride-to-be will forget about the knots in her stomach and get excited to tie the real one. Group video calling is part of Skype’s new premium subscription ($8.99/month), but only one person on the call has to pay for it (up to 10 people can be on one Skype video call at once).

Brides Can Use Skype to:

  • Try on her dress for the webcam with her bridesmaids watching from their own homes
  • Check out how her bridesmaids look in their frocks
  • Check in with her far-flung wedding planner
  • Get mom’s opinion on whether those flowers are tasteful or just tacky.
  • The bridal party can even get together via group video chat to plan the bachelorette party!

Newlyweds Can Use Skype to:

  • Show off their new house or apartment to out-of-town friends and family
  • Get instant input on furniture and decorating decisions
  • Stay connected with their long distance loved ones
  • Introduce new members of the family…be they pets or babies!!!

Are you ready to keep in touch with all of your long distance friends via live video chat instead of lame old email? Leave a comment on this, or our  Skype Group Video Chat posts this month and you’ll be automatically entered to win. Tell us all about why you should win this amazing giveaway…are you trying to coordinate bridesmaids in 4 states or do you have family that you never get to see in person? The randomly selected contest winner will be announced on July31st!! If we don’t hear back from the winner within 2 weeks, we will randomly select a new winner to make sure someone ends up with this great goodie!

Our June Giveaway is a Breath of Fresh Air For Your Face!

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

Win Dermacyte CreamIs the stress of co-habitation, commuting and coping with your in-laws robbing you of your newlywed glow or is the anxiety of almost walking down the aisle wreaking havoc with your skin?  If so, don’t worry…our June Giveaway is perfect for you!  One lucky reader will win a Dermacyte Oxygen Concentrate cream  (an $84 value)! This product uses oxygen to reduce wrinkles and make your skin positively radiant!

Did you know that oxygen depletion is one of the leading contributing factors to the development of wrinkles, fines lines and premature aging of the skin? It contributes to dehydration, uneven skin tone and a dull complexion. As we grow older, the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to skin tissue becomes less efficient. The lower oxygen levels in the body affect our ability to make collagen, which is an essential structural support to the skin.

Dermacyte Oxygen Concentrate is a unique and ultra-soothing formula that helps restore a youthful glow to your skin. Your complexion appears instantly brighter and energized after it is applied.  Apply morning and night onto clean skin before any other products. Think of Dermacyte Oxygen Concentrate as an oxygen bar for your skin!

Are you ready to get your glow one and make everyone jealous with our June giveaway? Leave a comment on this, or any of our Dermacyte posts on Mondays and you’ll be automatically entered to win. Tell us all about why you should win this amazing skincare set…do you have an important event or anniversary around the corner?  The randomly selected contest winner will be announced on June 30th!! If we don’t hear back from the winner within 2 weeks, we will randomly select a new winner to make sure someone ends up with this great goodie!
