The Crunch

2008-04-25T03:17:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you, but I'm starting to feel the crunch. It cost me more than $50.00 to fill up my Honda last week, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of things slowing down.

The rising cost of energy is making everything more expensive, and as much as I'd like to make some drastic changes in my home to more efficient appliances, I still have to pay for what I'm already using, and there isn't much left over to do that.

Thankfully, Sweepstakes.com is offering the winner of their latest sweepstakes a chance to use $10,000 toward their energy needs. That means that I can not only pay for my gasoline and electricity bills, but I can also buy things I need to make my home more energy efficient. Consider the new water heaters from GE which use 25% less energy per gallon! Or perhaps the newest Energy Star front loading washer and dryer combinations which use 40% less energy and up to 50% less water than the regular models!

With so much money going out in all directions right now, it would be great to have some extra set aside to pay for our energy needs--and to help us find new ways to conserve. Don't you agree?

Totally Green Sweepstakes

2008-04-22T17:59:00.000-07:00

All you have to do is fill out product reviews for beauty products you already use! You can enter once per day, and in addition to the Grand Prize, there are hundreds of instant prizes you can win as you submit your entries.

A Better You.

2008-04-15T20:29:00.000-07:00

Who would have thought that online sweepstakes could be a catalyst for self-improvement? While money doesn't solve every problem, it can definitely help you pay for some serious therapy! The Health Sweepstakes creative presentation is going to award $10,000 to a winner who wants to make themselves over--body and soul!

Whether you want to join a weight loss program, get a tummy tuck, or pay for a year's worth of yoga classes--you'll have the money you need to take that step.

Personally, I'd love to spend a week in the Perfect Health program offered by the Chopra Center.

Whatever you decide, winning this sweepstakes will be the first step to a better, more fulfilled you.

Travel the World!

2008-04-10T15:26:00.000-07:00

Some people are homebodies. They are happiest when they are sitting on their couch, snuggling with their cat, ordering pizza and using their Netflix accounts. I am not one of those people.

I crave high adventure! If it were up to me, I would travel at least half the time. And I'm not just talking about Disney World. I would love to go to exotic, foreign lands and immerse myself in other cultures.

That's why the Travel Sweepstakes currently being offered on Sweepstakes.com is such a dream! The winner will receive $10,000 toward any trip--to any destination! Can you imagine the possibilities?

This isn't just a cheesy three-day trip to Purto Vallarta. This is a world-class vacation that will be a major event in your life! Whether you've always wanted to explore Europe, or spend time touring Asia, there are endless possibilities. Enter every day for a chance to follow your dreams!

Bills STINK!

2008-04-08T10:58:00.000-07:00

Every month as I'm writing out checks and clicking online payments I grit my teeth and take a moment to think about how much of my hard-earned money I am saying good-bye to. If someone else paid my bills for just three months, I could easily take the vacation I've always wanted and do several projects that I've been putting off for lack of liquid capital.

How many people do you know aren't up to their ears in bills every month?

Well the good news is that Sweepstakes.com cam sympathize with us! With their Debt Sweepstakes they are offering $10,000 toward paying off the winners' debts! Think about how WONDERFUL it would be to finally be rid of the student loans. Or what about getting rid of the credit card that has been charging your ungodly interest rates? Or how about paying off a big purchase like your car or boat?

Are you thinking about it?

Don't forget, you can enter twice a day for this sweepstakes. Just a few minutes for a chance at financial freedom? I am so there.

Home Improvement...

2008-04-07T18:34:00.000-07:00

One of the creative presentations for the new contest here on Sweepstakes.com is $10,000 toward home improvement.

My family and I just bought a new home and it's funny that within four months, I already have a running list of improvements I want to have done.

First of all, I would love to take out the upstairs carpet and put done laminate flooring like Pergo.

Then, I would love to have a landscaper come and create a little oasis in the back yard. I've always dreamed of having a water feature with some koi or gold fish. And I would definitely spruce it up with some gorgeous outdoor furniture.

The winnings from this creative presentation can be used to buy appliances, furniture, decor, or services like landscaping, architecture and decorating. It can even be used to buy a riding lawnmower and other tools and equipment. What would you like to improve in your home if you had $10,000 to spend?

Paula

2008-04-02T10:17:00.000-07:00

And don't forget, weekly winners are to be awarded a $50 Amazon Gift Card throughout the contest!

In the next few weeks I'll be exploring each of the nine creative presentations. I hope you'll visit me here and leave comments with your exciting suggestions for using each of the prizes to realize your dreams.

Good luck everyone!
