CoolSculpting is a patented, non-invasive, clinically proven procedure to selectivelyreduce fat layers in problem areas using a patented cooling technology. It is a safeprocedure cleared by the FDA that gently cools unwanted fat cells in the body toinduce a natural, controlled elimination of fat cells. This reduces bulges in treatedareas of the body without harming surrounding tissue.

Want to know how to enter?  It’s an easy giveaway to enter, just visit CoolSculpting to learn more about CoolSculpting and decide if it is right for you, then visit and “LIKE” CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ on their Facebook page and tell them in 100 words or less your health or fitness resolution for the New Year and how CoolSculpting can help you finally reach those goals! A weekly winner will be selected at the close of each week to receive a $50 Amazon gift card.  Pretty nice, huh?  When the contest ends on January 31, 2011, a grand prize winner will be chosen from the top 10 entrants based on number and quality of votes/comments quality of their essay to receive a free CoolSculpting procedure with a friend. A runner-up will receive an Apple iPad and a $200 iTunes gift card for healthy living apps to help keep those health and fitness resolutions in the New Year.  By the way, if any of my readers are interested in this let me know and I’ll be sure to vote or leave a comment for each of you!

Picaboo Classic Book Giveaway Ends 12/14

Update: Congratulations Angel!

One lucky Embracing Beauty winner will receive a coupon for a free 20 page Classic photo book, valued at up to $39.99.

Picaboo Books

This coupon covers one of three different book style:

Classic Custom hardcover books add a “wow” factor and a professional touch to your book with a completely customized cover that really makes an impact. Create a one-of-a-kind cover featuring the layout, background, images, and text of your choice on the front cover, back cover and spine.

Our Classic Leather books have a rich, smooth finish and formal, timeless design that speaks to their lasting quality. These covers are easier to care for than the Classic Linen, which can show fingerprints and other markings more easily.

Our Croc-embossed leather books feature our classic design and durable bonded leather with a stylish embossed finish. Less formal and more “fun”, croc-embossed leather can jazz up any photo book. (No – it’s not real crocodile skin! The croc design is embossed on our standard Classic bonded leather).

Our Classic Linen books feature a traditional photo book design with a die cut window on the front cover, allowing your image and caption from the first page to show through the cover when the book is closed.

Creating photo books with Picaboo is easy and fun. Photo books can be fully customized by dragging-and-dropping photos and captions anywhere on your pages, and our software allows you creative control so you can make each special page look just the way you want it to.

My Thoughts

This game was fun!  It’s recommended for ages 8 and up and 3-10 players.  The first time we played was with my husband and his parents and we had a great time!  The types of crazy sentences you create is hysterical.  It is a very unique, thought-provoking, yet laid back type of game.  I look forward to many more laughter filled evenings playing it.

This would be a fabulous game to help kids develop sentences correctly in a fun and relaxed environment.

I am happy to announce that the wonderful people at McNeil Designs has offered to donate a game to giveaway to one lucky Embracing Beauty reader!
