Congratulations #11 which is Steff.   You are the winner of the $25 Visa Gift Card from Crizal Lenses which are made by Essilor.

Do you know about Essilor?  The reason I do is because I have progressive lenses in my eyeglasses that were made by them.  They are awesome lenses, and I’m thankful to have such lightweight glasses that help me see so clearly.  When I got my lenses from them, I found out that Essilor just happens to be the leading manufacturer of optical lenses in the U.S., and they are the leader in progressive and anti-reflective coated lenses.

So now that we all know about Essilor, have you heard about their sweepstakes and about Crizal lenses?  They are the only No-Glare eyeglass lenses that eliminate the enemies of clear vision (glare, scratches, smudges, dust, and water).  Here’s info:

• “The sweepstakes will offer one lucky grand prize winner a MOTOROLA XOOM™ with Wi-Fi, a $1,000 general use gift card and their very own Crizal lenses. The second place winner will receive a $1,000 gift card and Crizal lenses, and the third place winner will receive a $500 gift card and Crizal lenses.”
• The sweepstakes will end on Oct. 31 at 8:00 pm CST.  Consumers can play the game and enter the sweepstakes by visiting the CrizalUSA Facebook page and clicking on the Contest tab.

Essilor is also privileged to support the Foundation for Eye Health Awareness and its efforts to educate Americans on the importance of eye health and the importance of taking care of their eyes through its campaign Think About Your Eyes:

• “Essilor, the maker of Crizal lenses, will donate $5 to the Foundation for Eye Health Awareness for each new CrizalUSA Facebook page “like” and another $5 when consumers play the game, up to $20,000. “

Crizal lenses can help adults and children see, look and feel better.  Essilor has a great promotion to encourage consumers to defeat the five enemies of clear vision with the “Combat the Enemies of Clear Vision with Captain Crizal®” Facebook game and sweepstakes.   These are the five enemies which those of us who wear glasses know can be irritating:

1. Glare
2. Scratches
3. Smudges
4. Dust
5. Water

With that said, let me tell you about the giveaway.

* I was supplied with a gift card for myself and one for this giveaway. All opinions are mine and are honestly given.

Congratulations goes to “katfam” who won the $35 gift code to Novica.  Let me know if you get the Wisteria Garland Amethyst Bracelet and if so, how you like it.

Until recently, I was unfamiliar with NOVICA.  In fact, I had never heard of it, but that soon changed.  Part of NOVICA’S mission is this, “At the deepest essence of our philosophy, we want to create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe. We want you to know about who you’re buying from. We want you to feel that attachment to the product and to the hands that created it.”

Their handcrafted treasures come from these parts of the world:

• Andes
• Bali and Java
• Brazil
• Central America
• India
• Mexico
• Thailand
• West Africa

..

When I was given the opportunity to select something from NOVICA, it took me a while to browse through the jewelry, home decor, and gifts made by talented artisans worldwide.  Did I want to get something like Womens Robes, or Sarongs, or maybe Floral Bracelets?  There was so much to choose from!

..

I finally decided on the beautiful earrings you see below and was excited when a box arrived at our house less than a week after it was shipped. The fine quality of the earrings was obvious as soon as I took them out of the gift box.  They were crafted by hand by Lilly Rahmann who uses bronzite and citrine in this unique design.  (She is from Thailand and makes other beautiful jewelry as well.) I really do like these earrings!

Watch for a great giveaway, a gift code to NOVICA for $35, that I plan to be having soon.  Actually, it will be a review and giveaway. I chose some beautiful earrings to review that are made by an artisan in Thailand.
If you are not familiar with NOVICA (I wasn’t until just recently), then I recommend going to their site and looking around at all the many things they have made by artisans in other parts of the world.

Congratulations to Elisabeth for winning the Grilling Accessories Set!  Have fun grilling safely!

For those interested, Saturday night at 12:00 CST is the deadline for the NSF Certified Safe Grilling Set giveaway.  I received a set this week as well, and the tongs from Crate & Barrel are great.  The meat thermometer is a nicer one than the one we have, so our old one will be given away.  The Chef’s Apron is cool looking and will make me feel like I’m on Food Network, and the Rubbermaid container will probably be used very often (it would also be good to take salads in for lunch at work).

These are great items to have in your kitchen!   Come by and leave a comment if you would like to enter for a chance to win.

Remember I told you I was having a giveaway for a NSF Approved Grilling Accessories Set?  Well, I received one in the mail today for myself!  I was thrilled!  If you would like to enter the giveaway for the same set, all you have to do is click here and then leave a simple comment on my blog.  That’s it!  You have a good chance of winning because there are not many entries.

The tongs are really nice, from Crate & Barrel, and they lock when you want them to stay closed.  The Rubbermaid Premier container is BPA Free, stain resistant, and is from the AVEC Easy Find Lids grouping.  The meat thermometer is a nice one, nicer than the one we have.  And the Chef’s Apron looks like something from Food Network.  It’s so easy to enter the giveaway for a set for yourself!
