Colleen over at Simple Kind of Life is hosting a fun contest. It’s called Where in the World is Colleen?.

Earlier this month, Colleen announced she was going on a vacation but she did not disclose where. Each day she’ll give a new hint on where she’s going. She’ll be placing each day’s hint either on her blog or on another blog. Don’t worry, she’ll tell you where if it’s somewhere else.

At the conclusion of the contest she’s giving away a generous five prizes, which include a $50 Travelocity Gift Card and a souvenir from her trip, a $25 Travelocity Gift Card and a souvenir from her trip, and three other souvenirs from her trip.

If you think you know where she’s going, email her your guess. All of the correct guesses will be compiled in the end and the winners drawn randomly from them. Don’t worry if you’re stumped for now. Keep checking every day for a new clue because she’s promised each successive clue will make guessing the correct answer easier.  Good luck to all!

Over time appliances seem to get more powerful, nicer looking and offer more features. But the really nice ones cost some money. I know there are many other people out there like me that don’t have a lot of money to spend on a high end appliance. Well, for anyone that would like to get a nice new stand mixer to put in their kitchen, check this out.

A Cowboy’s Wife is having a contest on her food blog! You can win a Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer and she’ll ship anywhere so everyone is eligible!

The Prize:

The winner will receive a brand new Hamilton Beach 4.5-qt. Eclectrics Stand Mixer, Pineapple Yellow!!

About the mixer:

From Hamilton Beach’s “Eclectrics” line, this all-metal stand mixer comes with a host of accessories - a Flat Beater for cakes and cookies, a Dough Hook for bread and a Wire Whisk for whipped cream or pudding. The 4.5-qt. stainless steel bowl comes with a Pouring Shield that helps prevent splattering while in operation. The pouring shield has a built-in chute for adding ingredients. Powered by 400 watts, the stand mixer has a two-way mixing action to ensure all ingredients are incorporated into the mix. The quick-release, tilt-up head assists when removing the bowl. 9 x 14 x 14-in. When you’re ready for a kitchen re-do, don’t call in the carpenters! Instead, “counterscape” your kitchen with Hamilton Beach’s retro-designed, affordably priced electrics in happy, sun-saturated colors. Their “Eclectrics” line includes updates to those classic appliances from the 1950s. All of their “Eclectrics” are available in six colors: Apple Green, Moroccan Red, Pineapple Yellow, Intrigue Blue, Sugar White and Licorice Black.

Lori’s offered a lot of different ways for people to earn entries into this contest, so everyone has a chance to win. Good luck to all!
