kiss my [BLANK]: the winner!

The results are in for our first annual #kissmyBLANK contest, sponsored by Juice Beauty!

This pie chart I created in Wufoo is a little wonky, but accurate, I assure you.

(Click here to see the entries from all ten finalists.)

Tied for 3rd runner-up with 11.1% of the votes: @bikebuiltfortwo + @desertfete
2nd runner-up with 13.7%: @cevd
1st runner-up with 17%: @10_4_eleanor

Each of these lovely ladies will receive a four-pack of Juice Beauty's Organic Kisses Reflecting Glosses in "bubbly, light champagne, pretty pink, sumptuous fig and juicy, sweet guava." I've been dying to try these out, although my colleague at Juice Beauty refuses to pick up the hint.

And with 20.3% of the votes..... THE WINNER IS.....

@hartandsolphoto Effing couch hogs. #kissmyBLANK

Hart + Sol gets a basket of Juice Beauty products including Stem Cellular Repair Moisturizer, Eye Treatment and Green Apple Peel (your choice of Full Strength or Sensitive). 

We'll expect you to tweet a couple of #kissmyBLANK's about how amazing your skin feels. Did I mention that?

I guess I'm just a little sad that the contest is over.

p.s. Don't forget, the Juice Beauty promotion (free full size Hydrating Mist with a minimum order of $30!) has been extended through July 8. Enter code ESB at checkout

p.p.s. Contest winner + runners-up, pls email me your dets and I'll pass em along to my man at JB, who is, in fact, quite terrific.

kiss my [BLANK]: vote!

Who will be crowned the winner of ESB's first annual #kissmyBLANK contest, sponsored by Juice Beauty??

I asked you guys to submit original photos depicting the single most annoying thing about wedding planning. Or marriage. Or life in general. Mostly you submitted photos of your pets. (ARE YOU SUCKING UP TO ME, OR WHAT?)

Anyhoo. I've narrowed it down to ten. Now it's your job to vote.....

@desertfete My mom doesn't seem to think I require a pillow. And so I'm left to make do with a wall. #kissmyBLANK

@celiasayshello Unfortunately, the cat has not managed to learn how to feed himself. #kissmyBLANK

@amy_inOC hot day & i need a pump 4 my blow up pool! #kissmyBLANK

@polaropposites so cold outside in St. John's (45ºF! on June 16th!) that the turtleneck had to come out of hiding. #kissmyBLANK

@ridiculousnikki what the F*CK, spider?? #kissmyBLANK

@10_4_eleanor Papparazzi-like guests at a wedding shower? (and THIS is the shot they post??) #kissmyBLANK

The WINNER will be awarded a basket of Juice Beauty products including Stem Cellular Repair Moisturizer, Eye Treatment and Green Apple Peel (which, helloo, I need that).

And the four runners-up will receive Juice Beauty's Organic Kisses. You may feel free to vote for anyone you think needs organic kisses. Or not. Your choice.

p.s. Since the Juice Beauty promotion has been so popular (free full size Hydrating Mist with a minimum order of $30!) I talked them into extending it through July 8. Enter code ESB at checkout.

welcome to PANTS WEEK on esb!

I have several pants-related Dear ESB's lined up, and I thought I'd also take the opportunity to post a few of my recent favorite photos of ladies wearing pants.

If you've got favorite pants photos, send em my way! (With photo credits pls, if possible.)

This one is Marion Cotillard by Christian Kettiger, via Ez Pudewa via Bethany D.

p.s. You should also feel free to email me submissions for the #kissmyBLANK contest. I hate to exclude those of you with private twitter accounts.

kiss my [BLANK]

I'm super excited to announce ESB's first annual #kissmyBLANK contest, sponsored by Juice Beauty.

Here's how it works:

You guys submit original photos via Twitter depicting the single most annoying thing about wedding planning. Or marriage. OR LIFE IN GENERAL.

Just tweet your photo with the hashtag #kissmyBLANK. Images hosted on any platform, including YFrog, TwitPic, Flickr and Instagram, are acceptable.

Feel free to submit as many photos as you like. (Because the single most annoying thing changes from moment-to-moment, obviously.)

The prize, a basket of Juice Beauty goods including Stem Cellular Repair Moisturizer, Eye Treatment and Green Apple Peel, will go to the person who best expresses her (or his!) particular frustration. And the four runners-up will receive Juice Beauty's Organic Kisses.

The contest starts...... NOW!

Two weeks from today, on Tuesday, June 28, I'll post my top ten picks so you guys can vote for the winner.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

p.s. Because I blathered on and on about how I'm such a faithful Juice Beauty user (I am! I've been using the Green Apple products for almost three years!) they hooked us up with a really great deal. With a minimum order of $30, you get a free (FULL SIZE) Hydrating Mist. I made a special request for this item because it's one of my faves and plus I figured you might need to cool down after snapping all those snarky photos. The promo will last until June 30 -- enter code ESB at checkout. 

p.p.s. There seem to be a lot of exclamation points in this post. My sincere apologies. 

*Update: We can only mail prizes within the US + Canada, but please, we'd love you to submit photos from EVERYWHERE. You could win a prize for your cousin in Topeka, yes?*
