Win a Beach Bag Full of Goodies Including an iPod from Don't Fret the Sweat!



It's HOT here in Florida! When we first moved into our house, I set the thermostat at 72 which is what I kept my house at in Illinois during the summer. When I told my friend who lives here that my air was set to 72, her jaw hit the floor, and I started to realize that I'd probably need to make some adjustments if I didn't want a $500 electric bill. I've been turning the temperature up a degree every day. I'm up to 76 so far and honestly, when I come in from outside, it feels a little too cold sometimes. I guess anything less than the outdoor temp (approximately 400 degrees) is cool.

I'm pretty sure I'm single-handedly keeping Unilever in business with all the deodorant I'm using every day! I'm almost to the point of rubbing a stick of Degree on my head to keep the sweat from pouring down into my eyes. I know, I'm quite the babe with my hair matted to my face.

But I've figured out the secret to living in Florida during the summer! When you're not in the air conditioning, you need to spend all day at the pool or beach! What a great way for anyone to spend their free time during the summer! And I've got an awesome giveaway to help you do just that!

Here’s what you’ll find in the “Don’t Fret the Sweat” beach bag (valued at $137):

Exclusive Don’t Fret the Sweat beach bag
2GB iPod Shuffle
$25 iTunes gift card
Beach towel
Beach ball
Sports water bottle
Sunscreen
Vaseline Daily Aloe Fresh Moisturizing Body Gel
Unilever deodorant sticks

Ways to enter:

1. Leave me a comment here (BE SURE TO INCLUDE CONTACT INFORMATION) for a chance to win.

2. Like the Don't Fret the Sweat Facebook page here. Then leave me another comment letting me know that you liked the page for another chance to win.

3. Tweet about the giveaway and leave me another comment here letting me know that you tweeted about it for another chance to win.

I'll choose a random winner on Monday, July 18. Good luck!

I am working with Unilever to help parents raise healthy tweens through the Don't Fret the Sweat page and have been compensated for my time.

But I'd love to win the giveaway! And as a former Floridian, let me give you a tip for surviving the humidity: baby powder. Under the boobies especially.. really does help. You're welcome. ;-)

    I would enjoy winning the giveaway, especially the ipod, as my mp3 player is old, old technology. Alas, I will be out of internet range all next week, so wouldn't know if my name was drawn.
    And you definitely want to raise the thermostat! I'm in MI, and set mine no lower than 79, if I'M in control of it! Can't stand the big electric bill! My sisters live in teh Phoenix area. They say the key to living in the hot climes - for 3 months, go from A/C house to A/C car to A/c store or work, and back again. How we spend our winters up north, they spend their summers down south. Inside as much as possible!

    Hi Dawn,

    I live in Texas and we travel to Florida every summer to visit the in-laws. In my house we keep it about 74 degrees during the days of summer and 71 at night. However when we go to Florida they keep turn the a/c down to a whole 78 only b/c they know how we like to keep it cold. 78 is far from cold i may as well stay outside well hope i win. sasha in tx

    What a great package! Our thermostat was set at 72 (I didn't realize what my hubby had set it on) and we just paid the June electric bill. It was twice what the neighbor's was - he got it in error, opened it and looked at the amount. The amount left him in shock because when he delivered the bill to us he kept saying the amount over and over. Needless to say, it's not 72 in our house anymore. limar082002@cox.net

    Not to make you jealous or anything, but it was 68 here this morning (Iowa). I couldn't believe it! It felt fantastic after all of the very hot weather we've been getting. Not sure of your temps down there, but we've been having 90s plus heat index for the past few weeks, so 68 was very welcome. plymjp at gmail dot com

    What an awesome give away. My friend in Texas shared this secret with me when I was a bridesmaid in her outdoor wedding (I know, right)

    Put pantyliners in your armpits (stick them to your shirt) to keep from having pit stains. My illinois friends think its a hoot whenever I bring it up!

I've heard it takes 2 weeks to adjust to climate changes, so hopefully soon you won't feel like your melting all the time!

    You will get used to the FL heat. I've lived here since '96 and could never move back north. You are right about being either at a pool or the beach when you are outside. Otherwise it's just too hot.

    Dawn, from Phoenix (where it's a dry heat, like the inside of your oven), it can be in the 110-115's for months on end. A/C just petered out and now owe a fortune, but can't live without it here. I cringe if thermostat goes below 78 and that's a stretch for me who pays the bills, I'd prefer 80 and turn on a fan.
