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!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Natural mother I am! or at least try to be. I love being out doors and gardening. But the reality of it is that I'm pretty practical. But take every advatage to be outside and enjoy our beautiful world around us. I LOVE the body shop. My favorite store for yummy natural smelling things! My son seems to like the smells too!

    ReplyDelete

  129. I'm a super mom. LOL as if.

    Although, if it were an option I'm sure I'd come up with 'mean mom', because I am one! I sat and laughed at my son as he had a tantrum because I wouldn't let him eat string. Am I a meanie, or what?

She takes it all in stride, doesn't complain, and can sell anyone 25 different shoes...Left foot ONLY size 9...

    ReplyDelete
  136. I'm a SuperMom! Yay! :)

    My blog is private, so if I do happen to win, which I never, ever do, my email address is tvo1991atcharterdotnet.

    If for some crazy reason you want to check out my blog, let me know and I'll add you...I just had some crazy stalkers so had to limit viewing to protect the innocent (my b/g twins.)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  169. My mother was and is a super mom! Unfortunatly she's not here on earth anymore. But, I try to work hard each day to be like her.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Of course I'm "SuperMom." How else would I be able to catch my kids who are bouncing off the walls?

    ReplyDelete
