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!

Wise Woman here. However, I'm not so wise that I could figure out if I was supposed to be answering this about ME or how I view MY MOM. So I did it from my kids' point of view. The way I would LIKE them to answer. :)

Tara said...

I am supermom...if only I felt that way more often!

pegzhere said...

I am confused - the questions were all about MY Mom and gave me the answer "Your Mom is SuperMom" (which she is). Was I supposed to have my kids answer this?

Wise woman! I like that.

Brooke said...

SUPER MOM for me...I was hoping for "HOT mom"...sadly, that was not an option. They must already know my boobs are sagging, my eye lids are drooping and I got my first stretch mark, time to go back on that diet...right after I save the day!!! Fun Quiz!!!

Wise woman? Hmm.. I am more of a "mean mom" I heae that atleast 5 times a day. When my son gets up, has to brush his teeth, when I say no to chips, homework time and of course bedtime. I guess being a mean mom isn't so bad. Well that type of mean mom. The type that forces your child to be clean, learn, eat healthy and get plenty of rest! I am PROUD to be a mean mom!

Super Mom.

Jamie said...

Yet another wise woman, I felt special until I saw how many of us there are! well, I can still feel special.

jennybrum said...

Supermom (only because mean mom was not an option :)). But I could really use that deep sleep starter kit on the glamour mom page because as a fellow mother of four under 6, I haven't slept in well, like six years!

swtelford said...

I'm a Glamour Mom! There is some REALLY cool stuff in that package!! My fingers are crossed!

natalie said...

wise woman! it seems like there's a lot of wise women who read this blog....guess it's just a mom thing...or maybe just because we're readers of your blog.

Trina@theGilliganChronicles said...

My mom is an earth mom. Me a supermom! Thanks :)

Esther said...

I'm a Super Mom! Ha. Ha. Ha.

Chelle said...

My Mom and I are both "Wise Women". Seems pretty strange to me since we are really opposite.

AmberandBryan said...

Wise women. I could have told you that without a quiz, although I guess the quiz gives it some validity, righ???

Nicole said...

I am a Supermom on the go. But i would have totally been a mean mom if that was the option (I've been getting that a lot lately because I won't buy my 6th grader a cell phone).

tulipdjc said...

I am a wise woman! lol! At least somebody thinks so! Now if I could convince my kids!!!

Elise Thompson Kacal said...

Supermom...from my lips to God's ears.

Angela said...

I,too, am wise.

I'd just like to add that if i win items from The Body Shop, my children may actually allow me to shower. Apparently the aroma of generic soap is not incentive enough.

Maureen said...

Super mom! Yea I think, I kinda wanted to be wise women but oh well super moms good too!! fingers crossed..

Suz said...

I am an earth mother. ps..how is your hand?

Lori said...

Tracey in Calgary said...

Supermom...it has to be genetic? I'm not sure I would describe myself that way, however...maybe a 'wanna-be' Supermom!! lol

Tiffany said...

Wise woman.
Having raised my family with wisdom and grace, I deserve some pampering!!

Um, I'm not going to read 585 comments, but has anyone pointed out that it's not what kind of mom are you, it's what kind of mom is your mom? Wow, nice confusing and run-on sentence there.

Anyway, my mom is a Wise Woman. So true!
