Fabulous Finds Friday – Melons

Okay, okay – sorry, I couldn’t resist.

You know you love me for it.

So you all know – today’s the day! 

SAVE THE TA TA’s GiveAWAY!

First – the best commenter…I admit this was tough – even with help from Frank (the UPS guy).  It was so hard to determine who should get the three entries for most creative as there were so many touching stories about personal growth and overcoming the odds…but…I did say creativity counts – and while I am truly inspired by all the stories of hope (you GO girls!)  The winner of the best comment goes to:

ROWDYGIRL – what can I say I’m a sucker for Dr. Suess.  Here’s her comment:

Where will I wear my TaTa's shirt?
I will wear it in the rain, I will wear it on a plane. I will wear it in the car, and I will wear it near and far. I will wear it here and there. I will wear it EVERYwhere!
My favorite spots to wear my TaTa shirt are The Womens Expo, The Home & Patio Show, various Womens Conferences, and at the Annual Walk.
I'm a "fan" of TaTa's via facebook. :)

Congrats Rowdygirl, you just earned yourself 3 additional entries (per the rules)!  And now, for some reason I have an extreme craving for some green eggs and ham…

Now for the important legal-ish stuff.  Entries were calculated based on the submission rules outlined in this post.  Winners were chosen AT RANDOM using random.org number generation.  All winners were loaded into a database and randomly shuffled, and then three numbers were drawn.    The number corresponding to the person in the database was chosen as the winner.  For more information on Random.org please click here.

Okay, now, as promised – here’s our winners of the contest – please make sure you contact me with your name, email address and mailing address (plus T-shirt size!) so I can get it out to you.   The THREE winners are:

Heather E. of Laveen Arizona

Brandy Muller. – I don’t know your city (sorry!)

Lisa McCaskill – Don’t know your city either!

Thank you all for registering!  And here’s the deal – I still have 3 t-shirts (or so!) so I’ll be doing this again!  And thanks Ta Ta’s Brand for sponsoring this, and for all the AH – MAY- ZING work you do!

Remember – whether you won or not it’s important to Save The Ta Ta’s!!!  And RowdyGirl – contact me – I’m going to send you a little something for that awesome comment, even though the random generator didn’t pick your number – I still think you should be rewarded!

Save The Ta-Ta’s GiveAway!

If you missed our Fabulous Finds post on Friday – Shame on you! 

I mean – er…you can go here to read it – just Like Jessica over at Savethetatas.com did.



And you know what?  She liked it  - she really liked it…(*in my best Sally Field*)  And since Save The Tata’s is so committed to finding a cure, and one way to do that is to raise awareness about Breast Cancer and research – Jessica is sending me a T-Shirt to give to one of you lucky folks.

Before the men that read this blog check out simply because they are men, let me just say…Yes, men can wear Save the Ta Ta’s shirts too.  Last time I checked, many men were also on board with the whole “Ta Ta’s” cause.  In fact, I think they might be one of the most vocal supporters.

So, here’s how you enter:

1. Leave a comment telling me where you would wear your TaTa’s shirt.  Yes, creativity counts – each comment counts for one entry, but the BEST comment counts for 3 entries.  (Comments will be judged by an independent panel – mainly comprised of myself, my husband and perhaps the UPS guy…only if I need a tie-breaker, of course)

2. Become a fan of Someone WIll Buy This on the FACEBOOK PAGE by clicking "LIKE" AND update your status with information about the giveaway and the link to my blog – http://www.someonewillbuythis.com (you know, the page you are on NOW).  Make sure you tag Someone Will Buy This in your post, so I know you did it – you tag us by typing @someone – Facebook will take care of the rest. (2 entries total, 1 for becoming a “fan” and one for the post.)

3. Add a Someone Will Buy This button to your blog.  Then, leave a comment with your blog address, or email me at tj@yoktom.com with the blog address.  (3 entries.  Show that Linky Love! – button and code can be found on the bottom right of this page)

4. Write a post on your blog about the giveaway and include a link to my blog AND http://www.savethetatas.com. (5 Entries!  Mostly because I love to see my name in print…)

5. Become a fan of Save the TaTa’s on Facebook!   You can do that HERE.  This equals 1 entry as well :) 

Contest ends on May 21st 2010.  Winner will be chosen AT RANDOM from the above entries. Different entries carry different weight, so you are in control of the number of entries you get! 

****additional message****
While NO PURCHASE is necessary to win this contest – Save The Ta Ta’s is a valid cause to support.  If you feel like you might want to buy your own shirt or other awesome TaTa’s product, you can do so here: http://www.savethetatas.com.  I recommend the lip balm.

Fabulous Finds Friday – Save the TaTa’s

Cancer sucks.

I think we can all agree on that one.

I am always supportive of companies and products that give back to Cancer research, regardless of the form.  I love that many, many companies and fine upstanding citizens of the world – such as yourself – are banding together to beat this monster.

However – I especially love it when someone can donate to the cause to cure cancer – and do it with a sense of humor.

This is why today’s Fabulous Find is Save The TaTa’s.  (www.savethetatas.com)

First of all, because calling boobs  “Ta Ta’s” is funny.  I don’t care who you are.  It reminds me of being four years old and having my parents change “adult” words into cutesy things so that I can (or in most cases cannot) understand.  Calling boobs TaTa’s is funny – and it gives me warm fuzzy feelings from childhood – it’s a win-win.

Secondly – they do have some awesome products.  The one I’m absolutely in love with is the lip balm.  (Stop – do not EVEN let your minds go there…)  I’m allergic to Menthol, and most chap stick products have it in them…or they are fruity flavored and really do  nothing for your lips but make you smell like an orchard.  The Save the TaTa’s brand is All Natural, smells of honey, and is only $3.50 a stick.  I got mine at the local Harley Davidson Store (I was there buying a Guardian Bell – which is another post entirely…)  They also have shirts, onesies, key chains, water bottle belt clips, an entire line of soaps….the list goes on and on.  There is something TaTa’s for every budget.

Lastly – and most importantly – Save the Tata’s is a not for profit organization committed to a cure.  Every single sale creates a donation to the cause.  And every single penny counts.

So, that is today’s Fabulous Find.  For the record, no – I am not a breast cancer survivor or victim.  I do know someone very close to me who is.  My life has been touched by cancer in several ways – not just breast cancer…and I truly believe this monster has got to be stopped.  Every little bit helps.   And while cancer is a very serious thing, we can learn from TaTa’s…laughter heals.  Every moment counts.  And… an existence to bring joy and healing to the world is not a bad thing.

Let’s take a moment…

Okay, I’m going to be serious for one post.

One post – promise.

This is something that I personally bought, and hope that many more will buy too.  You see – portions of the proceeds from the sale of these items goes to fund cancer research for the cure.

As someone who has been touched (and deeply affected) by cancer, I hope you all will forgive me for taking a break from my typical posts.

For once, someone will buy this, and has – to the tune of over $250.000 raised for cancer research.

Available from http://www.choosehope.com  and in many colors, these shirts, hats, flip flops, and hoodies make a strong statement.

Cancer Sucks.

Thank you.
