We are very happy to offer one lucky reader a chance to win the Orient Automatic watch pictured here! Although we haven’t had the chance to try out one ourselves, the site is very interesting, and the company offers mechanical automatic watches in a variety of styles to suit anyone’s tastes.

We took a look around the site, and my husband really liked cfm00002b, a racing style. I too found a few that I wouldn’t mind having in my jewelry box! Orient Watches have even been featured on People.com and ShopNBC.

To learn more about Orient Watches, you can read an orient automatic watch review. But I am sure that what you really want to know is how to win this watch for yourself! Here is what you need to do:

We have a great giveaway for you! One lucky reader will get a chance to try out the new Wanchai Ferry frozen entrées, complete with a “Perfect Night In” package! If you just can’t wait to see if you have won, there is a coupon that you can use at your local Target store on the Wanchai Ferry website.

We tried out the Wanchai Ferry Orange Chicken. It came with everything we needed, from the yummy sauce, to soft and sticky rice to serve it on top of. This kind of orange chicken even came with Asian-style vegetables; broccoli florets, julienne carrots and baby corn. I loved that it didn’t take long to prepare, and everything was prepared in one skillet, making cleaning up easy too. It was actually a bit faster than going to our usual Chinese take out! Wanchai Ferry frozen entrées also offer Shrimp Lo Mein, Spicy Garlic Chicken and Sweet & Sour Chicken.

The “Perfect Night In” package was a lot of fun as well. It really made eating at home more like a special occasion! We had a great time trying (but failing) to eat our entire meal with the gorgeous chopsticks! The Wanchai Ferry “Perfect Night In” prize pack that includes one VIP coupon valid for a free package of any of the Wanchai Ferry frozen entrees, in addition to a set of two Asian-inspired rice bowls, chopsticks, bamboo placemats, flavored fortune cookies, and a $25 Target gift card.

We recently got the chance to try out one of the Glade Scented Oil Candle Tins. They have special holiday scents, and the one we tried was Bayberry Spice. It smells a lot like a real pine tree! And, not only does it smell really good, it’s a strong scent that easily fills the house. In fact, even without lighting it, you can smell it. Very good indeed!

The way they work is really unique, not like a regular candle. Because it’s oil, once you light them, they melt quickly, which means the scent goes into the air quickly. The tin is a nice alternative to the usual glass, and also it’s unbreakable! Each candle will burn about 2-3 hours, and when the oil is gone the flame just goes out. They offer refills as well, so you can reuse the container again and again.

Would you like a chance to try one for yourself? Glade has offered one lucky reader a surprise holiday tin scent, just in time for the holiday season. Just leave a comment on this post before midnight on December 10th for a chance to win. You may comment daily until the deadline. This is for readers in the USA only.

You may have heard something about “Super Fruits” recently, and if you are like me, you might have wondered what that meant? A super fruit is nutritionally dense, and very good for you. Thanks to the Family Review Network, we recently got a chance to try out one such super fruit, the prune! Not just any prunes though, Sunsweet Ones!

I know, I know… prunes! They often get a bad name, or get made fun of, but they are really very good for you. Sunsweet Ones are individually wrapped prunes, making it easy to keep some handy on the go. It’s also great because the packaging keeps them super moist and keeps you aware of the serving size. They were the best prunes that I have tasted.

Below is more information on why prunes are so super and you can find information at http://www.pop-a-prune.com. Want a chance to win some, and a fun tote as well? Keep reading!

What makes a Prune SUPER:

* Antioxidant rich. Prunes have a high antioxidant (ORAC) score. Antioxidants help to slow the oxidative damage to our bodies, and many researchers believe that antioxidants slow the aging process.
* Potassium punch. Move over bananas! Ounce for ounce, prunes have more potassium than bananas. Studies have shown potassium helps prevent hypertension and stroke.
* Bone health. A handful of nutrient-rich prunes a day may help bone metabolism and the reversal of bone loss for people with osteoporosis. They may also lead to improved bone formation.
* Low Glycemic Index (GI). Prunes are a low GI food, and therefore help to contribute to a low Glycemic Load diet and can aid in preventing and managing conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and obesity.
* Heart health. Prunes can help play a role in preventing heart disease and chronic diseases because they’re rich in antioxidants, which slow the chemical process of oxidation and protect key cell components from damage.
* Prebiotic power. Prunes naturally contain prebiotics, which stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the large intestine. This helps dietary fiber perform well and promotes immune system and digestive health.
* Weight loss. Prunes are a good source of fiber, and this can help keep hunger pangs at bay. As a food component, fiber isn’t absorbed, so it doesn’t contribute calories that’s why high-fiber foods are included in weight loss diets. Plus, four prunes have just 100 calories!

5 Lucky Readers will win a a Sunsweet reusable shopping bag and a Sunsweet VIP Coupon, which is good for ANY Sunsweet product up to $5.50 in value. This giveaway is open to those in the USA only. To enter leave a comment on this post (you may comment daily) before midnight on December 7th, 2009.
