****UPDATE****
Congrats to Des aka @StressFreeBaby from BottlestoBritches.com – Des was chosen from all of the contest entries as the winner. She and a guest will be going to Miami this Thursday to attend the P&G Media Event.
Thanks so much to everyone who entered. You guys had some great, heartfelt posts and you made it really tough to choose a winner. The judges spent a lot of time deliberating over entry contest entry. So please know that they were read and appreciated!
****UPDATE****
Are you interested in attending a P&G Media Event in Miami? My sister and I are having a girls weekend courtesy of P&G while attending the Have You Tried This Yet? Event. You can join us! This is one the most exciting giveaways I have had yet!
One lucky reader of the Divine Miss mommy will win a free trip to Miami to attend the VIP media event on February 17 to experience the Pop-up/brand demonstrations before it opens to the public. At the event, you can also schmooze with Roxana Garcia, popular Hispanic TV/Radio personality and well-known life coach, Dr. Michelle Callahan. Then you can spend the weekend in Miami at a posh beach resort for some fun in the sun!
The VIP media event is on Thursday, 2/17 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. The store opens to the public the next day.
The Pop-up experience will offer free, interactive product experiences – this means the winner can have her hair washed/blown out with Pantene and have a full make-over via CoverGirl – you and your guest will be ready for a Thursday night on the town in Miami!
Additional product experiences featured at the Miami HYTTY? Pop-up event include the following:
• Pantene Medium-Thick: “Smooth into the 2nd” Day” from the Medium-Thick frizzy to smooth collection.
• Head & Shoulders Hair Endurance for Men: Thicker looking hair in one week – guaranteed.
• CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion: Fiberstretch formula + oversized brush for a dramatic blast of volume + length.
• Olay ProX: Professionally designed to smooth skin texture and combat the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Oral-B: Helps prevent gingivitis and helps reverse gingivitis in four weeks.
• Charmin Ultra Soft: Now with Roll Fit Guarantee!
• Tide ActiLIft: Helps remove many dry stains as if they were fresh.
• Swiffer WetJet: Can get floors cleaner in 1/2 the time (vs. mop & bucket)!
• Gillette ProGlide Razor: Thinner, finer blades. Less tug and pull. Effortless glide. (leading blades vs. Fusion)
• Febreze Set & Refresh: Freshens noticeably longer than a cone.
What is included in this fabulous prize
Three nights lodging at beachfront The Raleigh Hotel (2/17 – 2/19), roundtrip airfare and $1,000 in spending money. This is for you and a guest of your choosing.
