Tuesday 10: My favourite Christmas tunes… + A Giveaway!

Happy Tuesday, kids!

I have to admit…I’m feeling rather cruddy this morning.  I seem to have come down with a dose of cold over night – sore throat, sore head, achy body, the whole nine yards.  Ugh.

But!  That’s not gonna stop the excitement on the blog today.  Today, Lena B., Actually’s Tuesday 10 is all about Favourite Holiday Songs, so I just can’t resist. 

The holiday tunes have been rollin’ at my place for a few weeks now, and here are 10 of my favourites this time of year.

10. Christmas Day – Dido

9. There’s a New Kid In Town – Blake Shelton ft. Kelly Clarkson

8. White Christmas – Bing Crosby

7. New York City Christmas – Rob Thomas

6. O Holy Night – Martina McBride

5. What a Miracle – Gail Gavan

4. Mistletoe – Justin Bieber

3. Blue Christmas – Elvis Presley ft. Martina McBride

2. Merry Christmas Baby – Bruce Springsteen

1. The Coconut Song

For those of you wondering how this got to #1 on my list… Trust me.  It’s a Christmas Eve Young family tradition, and it is amazing.  My Uncle Garry is the best.

Now…the fun doesn’t stop there on the blog this morning, folks.  A few weeks ago I was contacted to see if I’d be interested in running a giveaway on my blog for eos spheres.  I LOVE eos (evolution of smooth), so I jumped at the opportunity to share them with a few of my readers!

Introducing eos’ first ever branded collaboration - a limited edition lip balm collection inspired by the whimsy and wonder of Disney’s timeless tale, Alice in Wonderland.

Why Alice?
We wanted to choose a character that embodied our ideal ‘eos Girl’—fun, smart, stylish…and with a healthy dose of curiosity.  Alice in Wonderland has been brought back to life and reinterpreted for multiple generations, but is still a timeless tale of imagination and discovery.

Each of this collection’s Smooth Sphere Lip Balms are:
•100% natural and USDA certified organic
•Revolutionary smooth sphere applies directly on lips, so it’s more hygienic than pot lip balms
•Soft-touch, ergonomic, recyclable packaging is easy to to find in even the largest of bags
•Filled with moisturizing shea butter and jojoba oil
•Paraben-free
•Gluten-free
•Not tested on animals
•Recyclable

Delightful Design and “Hidden” Mickey
•Sophisticated, consumer loved packaging colors inspired by the characters in Alice
•Our Spheres grew ears! Since this is our first collaboration with another brand, we thought we’d commemorate the occasion with a distinct design update: our eos ‘dimple’ grew ears! We’ve added Mickey Ears to the imprint of our Smooth Spheres to symbolize our partnership with Disney and their iconic character for this special limited edition collection.

Five of my lucky readers will be chosen at random – each winner will receive not one, but TWO! eos spheres - in these delectable Alice-inspired flavours:  Sweet Vanilla Nonsense   and Watermelon Wonderland.

I received a sample of each of the spheres, and I think they are fantastic.  I struggle with dry lips (and my tendency to pick them), and I’ve found since discovering eos that my lips are softer, smoother, and I love the non-greasy feel.

These spheres would make great stocking stuffers, or keep them and treat yourself!

So…I’m going to run this contest the “Old-School” way.  The contest starts NOW, and it will end on Monday morning at 8 AM.  How to enter?  Simply leave me a comment!  Tell me you love me.  OR tell me you love eos.  Whatever.

Easy peasy, right?

Next Monday morning, I will throw all your names in a hat and draw FIVE winners.  Contest is open to residents of Canada and the US only.

Good luck, everyone!!
