Win Aveeno’s Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Product Line
Contest closed!
Today is Leap Day, that extra day that comes only once every four years. What if you could take the entire day to do what ever you wanted? What if today was treated like an extra day where everyone could just kick back and enjoy? What would you do with an extra day all to yourself?
To celebrate leap year this year Aveeno commissioned a survey asking just this. The results were not that surprising for us moms. One half of the women they surveyed said they would take that extra day to get more sleep or pamper themselves. Moms were the ones most asking for this extra day of rest with 73% dreaming of a extra day of rest in the year. What else did Aveeno find in their survey? That 65% of American women are skimping out on caring for their skin, spending only 30 minutes or less each day doing so. And I’ll admit it, I’m one of those. I do a quick wash, maybe a little lotion if I’m feeling the need, and then I’m off chasing the boys and just too busy to worry about the rest.
What if you could pamper yourself every day while you sleep? Sure, it’s not an extra day to relax but it could be a start right? Introducing Aveeno’s new Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming products. Use their Lifting and Firming Night Cream to pamper your skin while you are still getting sleep. Anything that I can do while I am sleeping scores big points in my book. You just rub it in, go to bed, and let the cream do all the work. Perfect for exhausted moms like me.
Of course the collection includes more than just the night cream. There is also a Lifting and Firming Eye Cream, to help carry those dark bags under every moms’ eyes from lack of sleep and stress, and a Lifting and Firming Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 to use during the day to keep your skin soft and protected from the sun. All three of these products are made with the natural benefits of wheat and shiitake mushrooms. They are hypoallergenic and gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Now, if you’ve made it this far I have a special treat for you. I’m not just talking up Aveeno’s Lifting and Firming product line because I’ve got skincare issues. Right now, I want to hear about your issues. What would you do with an extra day all to yourself? Would you spend the day pampering yourself or get some much needed rest? Leave me a comment and let me know how you would spend your extra day in the year. One lucky person will be chosen at random to win the complete Aveeno Lifting and Firming product line. One jar of the night cream, one jar of the eye cream, and one bottle of the daily moisturizer.
Here are the rules:
- Only comment per person will count
- Write about this contest on your blog for an additional entry.
- Contest open until March 4th, winner will be selected and announced on March 5th.
- Winner chosen at random.
- Prize will be mailed by an Aveeno affiliate, I have no control over how or when.

My first thought is that I would go have a Pedicure…love pedicures!
and then I thought…I wonder what the girls would like to do? Is that typical Mom or what? the point of the day away is to get away from the kids and here I am thinking about taking them with me!!
But as a afterthought, I would read, maybe visit my “local yarn store”, visit the art supply store and do something creative (all alone without the girls! that would be heaven!)

If I could I would just sleep all day.
thanks for the chance to win!
Tara’s last blog post..Aiden’s debut video
Okay, I admit it, I’m boring. I would probably do much the same things that I always do, but, because it is an “extra” day, I would SLOW DOWN.
Mama Zen’s last blog post..Objection!
I think I’d sleep until noon and then take a luxorious bath and watch movies.
Bebemiqui’s last blog post..Mmmm, Ribs
I would enter more sweepstakes so I could win more goodies
Hi, I would take a walk in the park, feed the ducks and geese and go to my favorite restaurant with my family! Time is precious and so is one’s facial skin. I am 51 and really starting to need more specialized skin care. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks very much for a fantastic contest…..Cindi
I would spend my extra day sleeping!! Haven’t had a full night of sleep since I had baby number 2. THen I would do something fun or romantic with the hubby!!
Stephanie J’s last blog post..So stylish!
I’d go spend my spa gift card my dear sis & bro in-laws gave me for Christmas! Then go shopping with just me!! Thanks!!
I long for uninterrupted sleep and two minutes of absolute quiet.
Yeah right, maybe in 18 years when my youngest goes off to college!
I would love to try these products.
Can I enter for my wife? Her birthday is in a couple weeks and she would love this. She had an extra day all for herself she would probably hide from me and the kids.
I would go to the spa for a massage and nap!
If I had one extra day in a year I would sleep. NOTHING else! I just need some sleep!!!
I’d go to the park and people-watch.
Jenna’s last blog post..We are Communicating
I would get a nice massage and then go walk on the beach and enjoy the water
I would go to the beach with my family and just spend the entire day relaxing and enjoying our beautiful ocean!
Well, with one extra day – I’d spend it with my best friend and fiance, Glen. I’d probably sleep in and then watch the movies that we love together!

Mary @ Adventures in Mommyland’s last blog post..Win Aveeno’s Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Product Line
I would definitely do what I love most – horse riding!
i would sleep in and lounge around the house all day
Just relaxing, taking time to put myself first for this day, sleeping some extra. omccoy
I would spend the day reading at the library.
I would spend all day with my daughter. I know, I know, we’re supposed to take a day for ourselves, but she’s still little enough (11 months) that I stil crave spending more time with her. I work full time so I miss her dearly..
I would sleep all day uninteruppted!
Tuesday’s last blog post..Stuff I Love
I would just slow down
I would take some much needed me time to go shopping, maybe head to the spa, have lunch with friends.
I would try to manage both, a spa day and a good book by the fire place, with my head well placed in Papas arm!
That’s a tough one! I have so many things to get done around the house. BUT, I would at least splurge a bit. A hot stone massage and a bubble bath with a glass of wine and a good book.
Oh, to have a day off… I’d probably do something like clean the house, there’s never enough time for that anymore with a 10 month old!!
Abby Henry’s last blog post..florida, here we go!
If I were not working yesterday, I would have spent the day hanging out with my baby son!
Holly Henderson’s last blog post..crying
I would go to the gym, then get a message followed by some ice cream and a good DVD at home.
Wow, I would first sleep in, then eat a good breakfast/lunch, then go shopping for some new clothes. Then I would get a new haircut! Bliss!
Catching up on all the little things I have been putting off.
I would definitely spend the day with my husband and get a sitter for the baby since the hubby and I hardly ever get to spend quality time together anymore. We need to set more ‘dates’ … putting that on my ‘to do’ list right now.
Oh and I’ve been wanting to try these products. I’ve seen their ads on TV.

Melody from ~Pennies In My Pocket~’s last blog post..~*~GIVEAWAY~*~ YEAR Supply of dropps Laundry Detergent!!
I hate to say it, but I would clean. I’m on a big organizing spree and find that the more organized I become, the more time I have with my family. So a day off to organize some more closets would mean more time for my family and me later on.
Tonya’s last blog post..Choosing Prosperity
I would go to a high end boutique and try on everything in the store…then buy the cheapest thing I can find on a clearance rack! Bad, but so much fun…some of them even give you wine!
Ahhh…I might have to spend it cleaning if I had a sitter, this place can get pretty dirty!! Thanks!!
I definitely need to catch up on some rest as I’ve been feeling particularly sleep-deprived lately, but I also would catch up on the kids’ baby books, since I’m about a year behind…
Hm. Tough decision. I don’t know whether I’d treat myself to a spa day or have a day at home alone so I could tackle organization projects that have been driving me nuts not being done. Both would relieve stress. Thanks for the contest! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )
Meg’s last blog post..TasteBook – Review & Giveaway!
I would just READ! you know…without reading the same page 7x!
Oh – a day at the spa – definitely!!
Thanks for the contest!!
Wisconsin Mommy’s last blog post..What a great problem to have…
The SPA for sure
Part of me would just want to lay in bed, eating junk, reading a good book all day, but the other part would want to take advantage of having no one around to mess it up, and clean the house really good! I’m torn! lol.
what a great giveaway!! thanks so much!!
stacey moore’s last blog post..Want to win a SODA MACHINE??
I would have to say I’d do alot of things.
First, I would sleep in until 9:00am. Then, breakfast with some girlfriends until around 11:00am. Then, go home, make sandwiches with my kids and have a picnic. After that, I’d take a long bath, then a long shower. I would get dressed up, and go out to a club, or a piano bar. Drink, have fun and then return home. Wash my face, brush my teeth and sleep in a bed with clean sheets. I know.. it’s more like a dream than an extra day!
I use Oil of Olay every night. I’d love to see if this has a difference that I can see.
Wonderful giveaway!

Suzanne Bastien’s last blog post..Adorable plates
Great giveaway! This tired mom would love to try the products!!
My extra day would have a lot of extra sleeping in it, and probably a bubble bath. Not to mention, ice cream!
I know just what I would do with one free day to do just as I please. I would go on a movie marathon – triple feature!
Susan’s last blog post..Saturday Morning Walkers – February 24, 2008
If I had an extra day and could get out of my normal commitments, I would go get my haircut, my brows/lip waxed, and take care of some much needed doctor’s appointments.
Thanks for the chance.
Lisa O’s last blog post..Thankful Thursday
I would go to the beach and take my baby swimming!
With one extra day, I would sleep! And go shopping. And hang out with the hubby. And, if I felt pampered enough, tackle the garage organization!
Sundi’s last blog post..Happy Leap Day!
