In most of the country — not here — summer means sandals and flip-flops. We’ve still got a month or more of naked toes. That’s why you need this week’s giveaway.
It’s a kit from The Body Shop that contains almond-oil hand and nail cream, nail clippers and half a dozen nail files, packaged in a neat little carry-all that’s cloth on the inside and bamboo on the outside.
The whole thing folds up to be about the size and shape of a No. 10 envelope. Once you’ve used up the contents, the kit would be a good way to package cosmetics or toiletries for a weekend trip.
I wish I had a photo, but my staff photographer is indisposed. (Translation: My niece, who has been taking pictures for me, is out of town.)
Full disclosure: Technically it’s a manicure kit. But perception is reality, and since I initially perceived it to be a pedicure kit, then it is a pedicure kit, right?
No matter what you call it, it’s free to the person whom the random number generator loves this week.
To enter:
If you do any (or all!) of these things, please leave an additional comment for each entry so that you’ll be fairly counted.
The deadline is 9 p.m. PDT Monday, Aug. 2.
And can anyone tell me how it got to be almost-August?
I have been following you from almost the beginning and absolutely love your story.
Please enter me. My feet could definitely use some summer pampering! Thank you!

How delightful…from chocolate to pedicure cream, your give-a-ways pamper us from head to toe. Thanks for the creativity.
My feet need this, but my first reaction is, “Who cares about you!? You’ll always be feet!” Then again, I don’t want to have gross cracked feet with fungus-ridden toe nails. So count me in. Dangit.
Please enter me, I could use a nice pedicure. 🙂

I would love some feet pampering!
I live in Florida, where toes are exposed a lot more than just summer months, this would get much use!! Thank you!!
What a fun gift!
Sounds awesome!
I subscribe to the site.

Nice Gift, Donna! Thank you!
My feet could really use some love. Great giveaway.
I would love some pampering too.
Donna, I think your on the right track. Tracking expenses can be tedious and boring, but it does give you a much clearer picture of what can be cut. You have already defined what is a priority to you and that is a big step in and of itself. Keep plugging. Love your articles!!
Come on random number generator, smile on my feet!
July just flew right by!

Love to win this!

Our family’s poor feet could use the loving…I beat mine up badly by going barefoot as much as possible all summer. (Poor babies.)
And yes, I subscribe to you, as well…
…and follow you on Facebook.
Wow! So many comments! Yet my feet are so deserving! Tired, not ready for prime time toesies!
My toes need a treat before school starts!
Dear Donna, I recently discovered your site and was especially moved by your post on “Giving” (or maybe better put, on how to ‘receive’). It was the most moving article I’ve read in a long time, and one which for me, was very timely.
Thanks for your warm, witty insight into everyday living.
Best regards, Peggy
Love The Body Shop and would love the manicure/pedicure set!
I subscribe by e-mail…
I’d like that manicure/pedicure set. Send it on!
About budgets, I don’t have a set budget and don’t use financial software. I keep that stuff in my head too. I tried to set up a budget a few times in my 20’s and 30’s, but they didn’t stick. They just seemed too arbitrary and plain old boring.
I’ve found the best way to save money/hold onto it is to not blow it on useless crap. Just eating in instead of out and bringing my lunch to work twice a week has really helped me breathe easier during this recession. And reading PF blogs helps a lot too!
what an awesome giveaway!!
i subscribe through rss AND email! 😉
