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!

Jennifer B. said...

A wise woman who would love some type of Body Shop concoction to smooth up her perpetually athletic shoe clad hooves before flip-flop weather finally hits Utah...crossing fingers....

Becky said...

I am joining the ranks of all the other WISE WOMEN commenters. No doubt genetic.

Donna said...

The quiz says that my mother is a Wise Woman, which is true.
I LOVE The Body Shop and their wonderful products!

A Musing Mother said...

Wise Woman. HA!

Stephens said...

I am supermom! I don't see myself as that, but it put a smile on my face to be categorized as that. My own mother is supermom for sure.

Mindy said...

Oh! I'm a wise woman! I've never thought about being wise!

That made my day! :-)

Laura said...

Like the majority, mine said I'm a "wise woman."

wise woman

Rupper Family said...

Supermom. I only wish my super power was having skin elasticity and antigravity boobs. I'm pregnant and I recently caught sight of my underbelly in a changing room-ugh! I could be too late for the Vitamin E body butter!
Like three pregnancies too late!

Susan Y. said...

I'm Super!!!! I can actually FEEL my cape ruffling in the wind behind me. And I know that my superhero outfit would include some kind of steel-enforced belt that could serve as a girdle as well . . . I would be Super AND cute. Can't beat that!

Jamie said...

I am a wise woman! I like how they spun the practical flat-wearing, chore-finishing, mom into a "wise woman"! LOL

Smith Family said...

I'm a Superwoman! Hear me roar!

Ruthykins said...

wise woman. yeah right!

shana said...

I'm a wise woman....how cool is that?!:)

Mandy said...

Wise woman...can't argue with that. I'm printing this off and putting it on the fridge. If the Body Shop says it's true, it must be true...

Megan B ♥ said...

Wise, wise woman :)

Bethanne said...

I'm a supermom! hahaha

Brooke said...

Wise woman! Seems to be a popular one:)

Steph said...

I'm a "wise woman" :-)

mykideatsdirt said...

SuperMom?! Are they sure they tallied that right? More like Disorganized, fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants, never-enough-time-in-the-day, absentminded mom. I wonder what would you could win for that category?

Amy said...

So, it says I'm a wise woman--it's debatable. Let us know if you end up teaching a Twilight course-maybe one day it'll be a classic...Good luck!

Lane and Katie Eyre said...

Mine says, "fantastic mom with great hair and shoes, only occasionally mad with her toddlers smearing crayon on the wall..." haha...

Okay, really I'm just a wise woman, (like almost everyone else)... doesn't mine sound better?

jenn said...

I'm an On The Go Mom...seems fitting, as I'm usually running the kids here there and everywhere! :)

kimbobim said...

It says I'm an Earth Mother. It fits - I spent two hours in the garden this morning before my kids even left for school. Most peaceful hours of the day. This afternoon I'm flying to Sonoma to see my sister and beg for a tour of the community gardens she is part of.

Brittney said...

I am a super mom, just like my own mom.

Jennifer said...

Ha I am also a Wise Woman. As in "Wise I ain't winnin no prizes on dis here website".

Earth mother..knew those efforts to go green were gonna pay off someday! =)

Derek and Tara Larsen said...

I am a wise woman. :) Yes, indeedy. Kristin R., NY

Kacey Nielsen said...

I am a supermom... my mom is a supermom, and so was her mom and on and on. We are sure there are more than 24 hours in a day, if only we could find those extra hours! But heck, we get a lot done. Though even a super mom needs a little downtime, so pick me!

Jeni said...

Supermom! Does that come with a cape?!

ErinB said...

Wise Woman! I'm glad this quiz confirmed what I have suspected all along!

I am "super mom."
Somehow, I am not surprised.

2 1/2 men's mom said...

Yeah, I'm a wise woman, but aren't we all? I may be losing brain cells, but the ones I have left are working overtime.

MrsB Reads said...

I am a supermom even if I have only been a mom for two weeks!

Cindie said...

Wise Woman....not sure how I ended up with that one!!!!

Lynn said...

Huh, I'm a supermom, who knew?

Deb C. said...

apparently both my mom and i are "wise women" (although according to some recent quizzes on facebook that i took, my "real age" is 12 and i am "ALMOST a redneck." not sure how wise that really makes me......) but i love the body shop, so free stuff from there would be awesome :D

Anonymous said...

According to the quiz...I am a wise woman. Good to know :)

Kit said...

I'm doing this for my mother, won't that be a nice surprise? I took the quiz for her and got "Wise Woman". She sure is, she has a PhD in Physics! Of course, that doesn't mean that sometimes when her head is in the clouds, she doesn't see quite where her feet are going, if you know what I mean. ;)

amysue said...

I am a wise woman, Wow, who would have thought!!!!!

Amalie said...

obviously I'm not the only one...I'm a wise woman! (or my mom is?)

Kristi said...

Another wise woman, looks like I'm in good company

Sheena said...

"WISE WOMAN" which kind of contradicts the fact that I went jogging this morning and then ate not only at McDonalds, but later on at Applebees....wise huh? :)

jamier095 said...

I am SUPER MOM! My costume is a pair of sweats and a Sheryl Crowe concert t-shirt with baby spit-up stains on it. Attractive huh?

Nic and Ashley Haws said...

Wahoooo! Supermom! That must be why I'm always so tired....

Alysa . . . . and Reed said...

I am a wise woman - now I know I got that from my mom. :)

Pat T said...

Supermom here - can I get a cape? Love their products! Could use some pampering it's tough being a supermom.

Carrie Stuart said...

I actually took this twice, once for my mom and then for me, because I was confused. Even though we only had one answer in common, we are both Supermoms!

Lori said...

I'm a Wise Woman and I'll take it--although a Mean Mom would have been pretty funny. I wonder what sort of direction they'd go with the makeup?

Twinlinebackers said...

I am a wise woman. Not what I would have picked for myself but ok. Interesting that most of your readers are wise women. Must be synonymous with mean mom.

GINA said...

SUPERMOM IT IS!! THAT WAS UNUSUALLY ACCURATE..

Denise said...

I am a "wise woman." I just love how these quizzes never really put down the answer I would pick...if I had an extra hour in the day- I would either be sleeping or sipping a glass of wine, curled up on the couch with a comfy blanket and reading a book. That wasn't a choice!

Denise said...

I am a "wise woman." Funny thing about these quizzes- most of the options are things I would never do! There wasn't a choice about sitting down with a nice glass of wine and reading a book!

Taneal said...

SuperMom, but I think the quiz must be broken today. ;)

Unknown said...

A "Wise Woman" I am...although not that wise as I thought the 'body shop' was offering the 'Jennifer Aniston' pre-baby look instead of the substitue yogurt thing!!

Wise woman. And you know what's funny? I already have the Satsuma and Exotic fragrance oils. {I LOVE them!} Man, did this have me pegged! :O)

Allen Family said...

Hahahaha. I'm laughing so hard. I took the quiz and the results labeled me as a "supermom." Flatering but not sure how accurate that is.

April Phelps said...

A Super Mom. I think that's appropriate.

Streuselmama said...

Add me to the list of wise women! We must all hang out at the same blogs. Meanest Mom, you have quite the wise following!

BensonFam said...

Da da da da da da..... supermom!!! I must take after my own amazing mama.

I am a wise woman, but I think I took the quiz thinking of my mom, so maybe she is a wise woman and I will take it again with my answers. I need sleep can you tell?

Angelia said...

Supermom - I guess this isn't surprising even though I don't feel like I rate the title. Mom of 5 (3 of which are 3-years-old), husband been gone for over a year thanks to the military, full-time grad student, and full-time work. People tell me I'm a super mom but mostly I think I just try to take it minute by minute and anyone could do this.

Sarah said...

I'm Super Mom. Now if I would feel like that, that would be even better.

ollie said...

wise woman. Apparently there are a lot of "wise women".
