Sweet Saturday: April 27, 2013

It is Sweet Saturday again.  YAY!  The winner of last week's drawing is Maureen W.  She will be receiving the  Slub Striped Infinity Scarf in Black/White.  Congrats, Maureen!

This week, we are giving away one of these fabulous Scattered Stone Bracelets from Konplott.  They are imported from Europe and come in a variety of colors.  They are quickly becoming a customer favorite.  

To win the bracelet of your choice, just go to our Facebook page and "Like" which color of bracelet you prefer.  Next Saturday, we will draw a winner and give away something else.  So easy.  :)

Saturday's are so sweet with Bon Lemon.

January Giveaway!

The holidays are over.  It can be a little bit of a let down.  No more holiday parties.  No more Christmas presents.  No more excuses to wear sequins from head to toe.  (You don't need an excuse.  Do it!)  

So...  Lets do a Bon Lemon giveaway!  Follow the steps below and you can win 6 pairs of earrings of your choice!

Here's what you have to do:

1.  Take a picture of yourself wearing your favorite Bon Lemon earrings.  If you don't have any Bon Lemon earrings (we don't know why you wouldn't, but just in case) you can pick a pair from our website, www.bonlemon.com.  

2.  Tag yourself in the photo and post it on our Facebook page.

3.  On Saturday, January 12, we will draw a winner randomly from all entries.  

The winner gets to pick their 6 favorite pairs of earrings under $100.  We really did say 6.  Up to a $600 value!  Who is feeling festive now?

Woo hoo!  I love January.

Bonne Chance!

We will mail them to you, wherever you are.  You will LOVE them!

Bonne chance!

Arm Party Challenge Winner(s)

The Arm Party Challenge was more fun than I EVER could have imagined. We had so many fabulous arm parties and lots of people cheering each of our participants on. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share a photo or "like" your favorite arm party. It makes my hourly (okay... quarter-hourly) Facebook stalking so much more interesting. We had mother-daughter arm parties.



Classic arm parties.



Arm parties with a little western flavor.



And arm parties that made us think about swimming in sea green, tropical waters.




From the bold...



To the delicate.



We could not have EVER picked a winner, because we LOVED them. Every. One.



Thankfully, you all picked the winner for us. Phew. Well, that was the idea anyway. We thought you were going to make it easy by liking your favorite arm party, but this contest got a little confusing. (We promise we will do better next time.) There were "likes" on the Arm Party Challenge page, there were "likes" on your personal pages, and there were "likes" on all of the pages of your peeps who shared the arm party with their friends. (Don't get us wrong, we are not complaining. We are glad everyone loves a good arm party. We just need to work on our organization.) We had a hard time finding an accurate total of likes, excluding duplicates, including shares, etc. Because of the web of "likes" and how close two of our contestants were, we have made a decision that might irritate those with a competitive streak, but hopefully you will be won over with our sense of fairness and desire to make everyone more sparkly.

We decided to declare a tie. Amy and Kimberlee both had over 200 likes in various places around Facebook. 200 likes!!! Now that is impressive. They both rallied their troops. The both came to the party. And they are both walking away with $200 gift certificates to Bon Lemon. Hopefully, nobody is disappointed with that. :) Check out their arm parties. Aren't they fab?




And since we are in the spirit of spreading the Bon Lemon love, every single participant in the Arm Party Challenge will receive a $20 gift certificate to Bon Lemon just for playing. You can't have a contest without participants and we are SO VERY thankful you came out and played with us. If you didn't get in on the action, maybe you will next time. I mean, come on, there's free sparkle.

when life gives you lemons... put on something sparkly.

Winner. Winner. Chicken Dinner.

You know we love a good contest. And today, we drew the winner of our Statement Necklace Contest. All you had to do was tell us which statement necklace was your favorite and then you had a chance of winning that necklace. Thanks to everyone who entered. It was a fun one.

Both the Desert Sparkle Necklace and the Ring of Fire Necklace got ten votes each. We were only going to give away the necklace that got the most votes, but because we are softies, we decided to give away one of each. Yay! If you voted for either of those necklaces, you were entered to win. Random.org randomly selected the winners. Do you want to know who won? Is the suspense killing you?



The winner of the Desert Sparkle Necklace is... Erica Grinde! Woo hoo, Erica!



And he winner of the Ring of Fire Necklace is... Julie Sandberg! Yippee, Julie! We will contact both of you ladies for shipping details.

We think that living life necessitates making a statement. If you need a statement necklace of your own, head over to Bon Lemon to pick up your very own. For those of you across the United States facing all sorts of crazy weather, you don't even have to leave the comfort of your own living room. Bliss!

Stay tuned for our next contest. We are already dreaming up ideas...

Statement Necklace Contest

You know we love to give things away... We also love statement necklaces. So, we decided to have a Statement Necklace Contest!

What is your statement necklace saying about you? Are you a city girl? A stylish, southwest chick? Or a southern belle at heart?



On our Facebook page, like or comment on the necklace of your choice. Whichever statement necklace gets the most votes, will be given away. (Randomly selected winner will be drawn from those who comment on that particular necklace.)



Bonne chance!

CONTEST: Spread the Love. Win a Lovesac.

We haven't given anything away in awhile. Time for another contest.

It is easy. Here's how it works...

1. Spread a little love. (Tell someone you love them. Do something nice for someone you don't know. Buy your secretary a gift. Give your son, dog, wife, or parrot a hug. Leave an extra, extra big tip. Whatever love means to you. Do it.)

2. Post on our Facebook page, email us at amy@bonlemon.com, message us, or comment on this blog post to tell us about how you spread the love.

3. You will be entered to win a JPK Paris Lovesac Overnighter in Grey Christmas Paisley. Retail value of $79. This bag is great for travel or the beach. And all of the hardware and detailing features a heart to remind you of how great it is to spread the love.

4. We will draw a winner at random from all entries on Friday, July 1.

Thanks for spreading the love, so we can too.

When life gives you lemons... Bon Lemon wants to help out

Remember last month when we announced a contest? Name your favorite charity and we would give $75 to that charity and a $25 Bon Lemon gift card to you. (We know you all memorize every word of our blog, so I am probably boring you with the details.)

Well... that contest ended on March 1. Today! Guess what we decided to do. We decided everybody should be a winner! (We are a touch obsessed with philanthropy.) So here's the deal. We had nine entries into our contest:

1. Friends of MIA
2. Dove's Real Beauty Campaign
3. Rally Foundation
4. Run to Remember
5. Capitol Land Trust
6. Small Voices Foundation
7. Miss Thurston County Scholarship Program
8. Charley's Fund
9. Zina Linnik Project

And for the next nine months (2 in December) we will donate $75 to one of these great causes and send the participant a $25 Bon Lemon gift card. Everybody wins!

Thanks to all who participated in our contest. Thanks for caring about your community. And thanks for making a difference. We are committed to making the world a better place, one sparkly accessory at a time. And we believe (however cliche and cheesy it might sound) together, we can make a difference.

Learn more about the Run to Remember here. (I have a couple tears running down my face after watching it.)

Run To Remember - KCPQ

*** JPK Paris Handbag Giveaway ***

We love contests. If you haven't picked up on that, you haven't been paying attention. We love giving things away! So... we are having another contest. And it is a big one!

Here's the deal. When we hit 1,000 friends, we will give away a JPK Paris Large Sasha Handbag to the first person who writes, "WHEN LIFE GIVES ME LEMONS... I PUT ON SOMETHING SPARKLY." It's that easy. And we are talking about a $250 handbag from a line carried at Nordstrom and all of the top boutiques. (Obvi. Bon Lemon carries it :) Come on people! Get excited!

We have 448 friends right now, so we have some work to do. Get the word out, watch the friend count, and then get posting! Good luck to you all!
