    sandestinaerial_320×162.jpgELLE magazine is highlighting a summer getaway before summer.

How ‘bout a beach visit before the temps start to climb? Nice! Enter here!

    max_320×157.jpgMAX Factor Cosmetics is sponsoring a Customize Me Blend in and Stand Out contest. And who couldn’t use a little pick me up makeover right before summer hits? Enter HERE.

    dkny_312×240.jpgWho doesn’t want a free wardrobe from DKNY? Answer this small survey (took me less than 5 mins) about your exercise routine and what fancy threads you wear when working out and you’re entered. Check it out HERE.

    stives_microdermabrasion_240×240.jpgHappy Face Sweepstakes sponsored by ELLE and St. Ives. Hey, it’s bridal season and if you are looking to score a free honeymoon, this romantic trip to Hawaii may be just the ticket. Enter HERE.

    Can you even believe how fast this contest has gone? ONE DAY LEFT! And things are looking so great, I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am! Not only are we raising tons of money for Breast Cancer Research, but I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate the support you are giving the blog by doing so. It’s kind of sad that we are coming to a close, but if you have enjoyed this contest, keep an eye out in the New Year as there will be others to participate in as well. If you have an idea for a cause or organization that you would like to support in a future contest, let me know! I’d be happy to help you out!

    How are we doing with the contest so far? For those of us just joining, and for those loyal readers who have been following us all along, here is your FINAL contest update.

    Once again I am going to remind all of our readers that we are hosting a blog contest here at Rags and Rouges for those that are active participants in the blog. We KNOW you readers are out there so why not take part in supporting a cause without spending any money? That’s right, we are hosting a top commenters contest here at Rags and Rouges in support of Breast Cancer and you can participate without forking over a single cent.

    This is our Weekly Updateon our fabulous contest to support the very worthy cause of Breast Cancer. Entries are slow right now so if you want in, it is NEVER too late. The blog is a top commenters blog, so the person who has the highest number of comments by the contest deadline is going to be our grand prize winner. If YOU want to raise money for breast cancer, and know that you are supporting this very worth cause, you can do so simply by participating in this blog! I am participating with you – You Comment, I Reply. This is my mantra. So know that your valuable input into Rags and Rouges is always being acknowledged.

    ENTER TODAY!!

    All you need to do is subscribe to the blog through the method of your choice, and start commenting. For EVERY SUBSCRIBER, I am personally donating $2 USD towards breast cancer research, and all proof of monies donated will be posted on this blog. Check here for full contest rules and details.

    And here is something I can not stress enough!!

    Once you have subscribed, you must leave a comment in any of the blog contest update posts, such as this one. Once you have subscribed, leave your first comment HERE or look in the Charity category for an update post to comment on. This will count as your first comment and as your official entry. You MUST comment to one of these posts to enter, as I have many commenters on this blog but not all are participating. By leaving a comment on one of these posts, I am able to organize who is, and who isn’t participating in the contest. I am also able to take note of how many subscribers I will use to calculate my final donation to Breast Cancer Research. If you subscribe and start commenting, but do not leave a comment in a contest post, I will not know that you are entered in the contest.

    Again, entries are slow, so it is NEVER too late to sign up!!!! Our subscriptions are climbing every day, this is EXCITING news for our donation tabs!! Even though it might be a bit late to win the contest by subscribing to the blog you are still raising money for breast cancer. Though, you never know if you really want it, anything can happen in these last few hours!

    At this point, ALL of our prizes have been officially snagged! Thanks to all of our fabulous readers!! But it’s not too late to enter the contest and scoop them from one of our current entrants!

    IMPORTANT NOTE ON CONTEST DEADLINE:

    Because response to the contest is slow, I am doing some promoting to get more people involved. To put it bluntly, I want to raise more money for breast cancer, and if I can do so by extending the contest deadline, then I am going to. The contest deadline has thus been officially extended to January 1, 2008. At midnight on New Years Eve the contest will close. Because this is a holiday, I may not be available IMMEDIATELY to officially announce the winner, but you will know who you are by the top commenters menu. As soon as I am able to, I will post an official announcement on the blog and get the details from all of our winners.

    Contest Stats:

    Flowergirl really wants that Polo-Shirt and has contributed 91 comments. Congratulations flowergirl on being this week’s leader in the run for the grand prize!! Lesha really wants that polo shirt as well and has been working her butt off with 85 coments. And many congratulations to Jeans and Tee who is also working hard for that polo-shirt with a running total of 59 comments! It is not too late for either of you girls to take the lead at this point!

    We had some more subscribers this week, which is SO exciting! To date, we have raised $40.00 for Breast Cancer Research. Between personal donations and subscribers, we are doing better every week, and every dollar counts. But this is not enough!!! Readers, we NEED your help! Subscribe today, it won’t cost you a penny and by just subscribing you are ensuring $2 go towards Breast Cancer Research. Join TODAY!!!!

    Thanks again to everyone for all of your hard work and for your participation in the blog. I am really enjoying interacting with all of you! ;-)
