The Body Shop Mother's Day Giveaway


I'm thrilled to announce that The Body Shop is teaming up with the Meanest Mom to offer another exciting Mother's Day Giveaway!

I'm not a fan of jumping through hoops for a chance to win prizes, but this one is painless...and if you like personality quizzes, even (gasp) fun.

The ladies at The Body Shop have put together a little quiz to help you determine what kind of mom you are. There are only 8 questions, none of which ask you for your credit card number, login name or password, or blood type. The quiz only takes one minute to complete if you are by yourself at the computer, 30 seconds if a small child is screaming in your face.

At the end of the quiz, you'll be told what "type" of mom you are: Earth Mother, Supermom, Glamour Mom, or Wise Woman. Sadly, a Mean Mom is not one of the options (I pushed for its inclusion, but for some odd reason there was a concern that some women may not like being labeled a mean mom). Hmph!!! Anyway, report your results (ie. tell me what kind of mom you are) in the comments section of this post and you'll be entered to win a BODY SHOP MOTHER'S DAY BEAUTY PACKAGE (featuring products specifically designed for your mom type) worth over $100!!!

TO TAKE THE QUIZ, CLICK HERE.


Have you ever been into The Body Shop? Like the grocery store, you shouldn't go shopping there when you are hungry. Just because something smells good enough to eat doesn't make it edible. This word of wisdom comes from my son Cortlen, who once mistook a tub of strawberry-scented body butter for a cup of yogurt.

One entry per person please. Contest ends Saturday, May 2 at midnight EST. The winner will be announced the following day.

Good Luck! Thanks Body Shop!

Tonia said...

Wise Woman...Though there are those that would disagree. :)

Jen said...

Actually, the quiz doesn't tell what kind of mom I am, it tells what kind of mom my mom is and she is wise, which is true. I would like to point out that she does have a super power--eyes in the back of her head!

Ally said...

Wise Woman!

Klair said...

Super Mom. I won't be telling them that their program is broken, that's for sure!

I'm a supermom, but I rarely feel like it. Usually I feel like a sub-par mom.

Cassandra said...

Another Wise Woman here! (hmmm... perhaps I should show this to my husband...)

It looks like a lot of your readers share my status: wise woman.

Hm, Wise Woman. I totally thought I'd be a Supermom. I just love your blog Jana!

JC said...

I'm a "wise woman", but aren't most women?

Shan B. said...

"Wise Woman" but it actually says it's about your mom, not what kind of mom are you.

SuperMom!!!! I've always wanted a cape, it would hide my big hips!

Cari said...

I am a wise woman. I'm thinking I must have answered something wrong. Oh well - I'll take it and have a banner made. Maybe my children will believe it then.

Unknown said...

I'm a super mom! (yeah, right) It probably really means that you just keep running and running all day long. Might want to rename it overscheduled mom! Haha.

Hillary B, WA said...

A wise woman!

Morgan Hagey said...

I'm a wise woman too. Who knew?

Melissa Berberena said...

Oh how I wish my Glamour Mom title matched my exterior, maybe if I win it will.

Amy said...

Supermom! (But I think if they had a mean mom category, I may have gotten that one.)

Kim said...

I had to laugh. It said I'm a Wise Woman.

Melissa M. said...

I answered the questions about my mom, she is a wise woman!

I am a "Super Mom"! I really need to win this!!

koreen (aka: winn) said...

Apparently I'm an "on-the-go" mom. Hmph. I feel bored most of the time... must be trying to fill the boredom with stuff to do!

Cheers! Thanks for yet another great giveaway contest! :)

Mindy said...

I would go for the wisdom, so it's a good thing they classified me as a "Wise Woman". =)

Taylor Family said...

I did this from my daughter's point of view, since me and my mom don't hang much:( I'm glamour (ha, ha, ha!) mom!

Another wise woman here! =)

Sherry Leal said...

I seem to be the only person who is a bit confused. The link took me to a test that said, "What kind of mom is yours?" Not, "What kind of mom are you?" So, at first, I took it as if I were answering the questions about my mom. Was that right? That's how the questions were asked. Well, if you want to know, my mom is a Wise Mom. I retook it, for myself, and it turns out I'm the same!

Unknown said...

I, like my mother, am a Wise Mom. Fits me well!!

Cindy Stagg said...

Yep. I'm a supermom...duh!

Katelyn Graves said...

I got glamour but I am not sure it fits!

I got "Supermom"...really...I am amused. Really.

Supermom! If I only felt that way...at least I can honestly say that about my mom!

Wise woman, of course

Mandi said...

I am a wise woman! =) We need to tell my husband this!

Amy said...

I am a super mom--although I am not so sure it's accurate, since really I am not a mom and have to live vicariously through my sisters and friends.

Ween said...

I'm a "Wise Woman"! If only I could get my kids to see me that way...

Pam said...

I'm proud to say that I am a "wise woman".

thepedaller said...

I am a wise woman, seems to be pretty common although I don't know what kind of wisdom i'm imparting to my little ones!

Caroline Haring said...

I am a wise woman. Sounds good to me. My husband should see this.

It appears, I am not in the minority in my wise woman status, but that is apparently what I am!
I am the Body Shop's biggest fan!!

Christine M., WI said...

I'm a wise woman! Though I'm sure Earth mother was a close second!

Emily said...

Ok, so I am a wise woman, is it because of the sensible but stylish flats?

Carina said...

Glamour mom. Now there's a shocker. Thanks for the giveaway, Jana & The Body Shop!

Poutua said...

Okay so I took the quiz and I believe that it tells you what type of mom YOU have and not what type of mom you are...is that right??

Anyways, my mother is WISE---I know that to be true! I would love to win the gift for her!

Angie H. said...

I'm a wise woman. But I noticed most women on here are wise women.

annie said...

Earth mama!

Amanda said...

"Wise Woman" although I definitely am not feelin' it.

Karissa said...

It claims I am a wise woman, but when it comes to motherhood I'm not sure that's true! Maybe it comes from calling my mom 3 times a day for all her wisdom....

Unknown said...

I'm a wise woman! As all moms and women are!

kat said...

interesting. i am a wise woman, and the answers i got for my mom also came up with that definition. i never would have thought we'd be the same.

Super Mom...Hmm..I wish!!!

My toddler actually sat still and watched Yo Gabba Gabba while I found out I am Supermom!

I'm a Supermom!! Now there's something that will make you feel good!

So, I totally don't expect to win, but I had to come share. I'm a Wise Woman? Seriously?! I totally expected Earth Mother, but I've never owned a pair of hemp sandals. Maybe I'm missing out....

Kerrie said...

Wise woman. Hmmm...not sure how accurate that quiz is.

I'm a "Super Mom." Please don't step on my cape...it will wrinkle.

Nora Ray said...

Wise woman. (not a wisea** thank goodness)!

Jaded Jennifer said...

It didn't tell me what I was. It told me what my mom was, and is totally inaccurate. Says my mom is a Super Mom. In reality, she's not much of a mom at all. I wanted it to tell me what kind of mom I am. :o(

Jess said...

I am the Wise Woman as well...hmmm...Hope I'm wise enough to win!

I am a Wise Woman-along with many others I see!

As a 'wise woman' I could have told you the results w/o taking the quiz!

Jookylover said...

Super Mom.

Chelsea said...

I am a Wise Woman. (But I like the Glamour Mom products better.)

Andrea said...

I was expecting to see what kind of mom I am not what kind I have. Anywho, it says I have a Supermom and I have to agree. Also, I loves me some Body Shop stuff, especially the oil blotting papers, chamomile eye makeup remover, body butters, etc.

Brooke said...

I am supermom.....I knew it!!!

I was able to rig the test and the verdict: "I'm a wise woman" now if only I could rig this contest....hmmm

Rebecca said...

Wow, there must be a lot of wise women out there, because I'm one too. Yeah for us wise women!!

Julie J. said...

I'm a Wis Woman, which makes sense since they call me THE ORANGE ORACLE, and I use my blog to spread my "Knowledge" and "Wisedom". Thanks for hosting a give away! FUN!

Deirdre P. said...

I'm a wise woman, too, which cracks me up since I killed my tea kettle last night by turning on the wrong burner. Sigh.

Malinda said...

Mine said supermom. I was hoping for wise woman. Maybe someday . . .

Anonymous said...

I'm a supermom! A lot of comments said they got it from their mom, so I went back and took it with my mom in mind and she came out a wise woman. I wonder what my daughters will grow up to be?

Wise woman... who knew?!

Burrell said...

So, I took the quiz, but took it literally and answered questions about my own mother. Not me. So of course I got two different answers when I took it for myself. My mom is a Glamour Mom and I'm a On-the-go mom. Make sense? OK.

Julie said...

Wise woman! Man I kinda wanted to be the Earth mother. Oh well.
