Good morning, guys. How is everyone? I couldn't help but notice yesterday that Short 'n Chic has somehow garnered 400 followers. 400! That's incredible. I'm so thankful for all of you guys. I know that I just had a giveaway for 300 followers (that seems like such a short time ago already) but I'm going to have another little one to celebrate 400. I just can't help myself. I love giving my stuff away :)
If you win this giveaway you'll win a bottle of Sally Hansen Salon Hidden Treasure, a polish which needs no introduction.
Here are a couple examples of the things I have done with Hidden Treasure since I got it, just to whet your appetites.
Over OPI What's With the Cattitude?
Over Essie Cute As A Button
Over OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui
Over Rescue Beauty Lounge Drifter
Hidden Treasure is such a versatile little polish, isn't it? Don't you want to win it? You do? Okay, here's what you have to do. The rules are simple. Well, kind of. This giveaway is a little different.
HIDDEN TREASURE GIVEAWAY RULES:
1. You must be a follower through blogger to enter. There is a follow button on the righthand sidebar. Click that button and follow this blog. Easy enough, yes?
2. You must comment on this post and leave your e-mail address so that I can contact you if I choose you.
There's a third thing too, and this is how you can win. Does everyone know what a haiku is? It's a short poem consisting of three lines. The first line contains five syllables, the second line contains seven syllables, and the third line contains five syllables again (5-7-5). If you're unclear here's the Wikipedia article. In order to win my extra (unused) bottle of Hidden Treasure I am requiring you to write a haiku about the polish. Now, I know that when bloggers have extra stuff you have to do to enter giveaways I usually don't enter. I'm not really anticipating a lot of participation, but I think this will be fun. If one person enters, that person gets the Hidden Treasure. Pretty simple. However, I will not be choosing the winner randomly. I will be choosing the haiku that amuses me the most or that I like the best. That's right; this is completely subjective.
Want an example? Here's my Hidden Treasure haiku:
Difficult to find
Like a hungry lioness
I hunted you down
Pretty simple, yet kind of cute. Can you write a better one? I know you all can. TO REITERATE: In order to enter this giveaway you are required to be a follower, to write a haiku and to leave it in the comments on THIS POST with your e-mail address so I can contact you if I like yours best. You've got until FRIDAY JUNE 11th to enter. That's all.
Happy writing, you guys! I hope you all enter :) I promise it'll be funsies!

great giveaway. yeah. i find that when you ask people to do just a little bit more than 'enter me' they're less likely to bother. ...or read the rules/instructions. ...oi.

Congratulation Steph - the 400 followers are more than deserved. (you'll get nearly 500 with that giveaway - trussssst me) Anyway, I never told you but you have a fabulous blog - an obligatory daily reading of mine. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower obviously:

Oh and I suck at that kind of things but here's my haiku:
On a treasure quest
I'm an amazon hunting
Rainbows of colors
(PS. I have a giveaway too, Steph)
Like wise Rainbow Fish
ReplyDeleteSteph shares iridescent flakes
For us all to sea!
In case my allusion was not clear, your hidden treasure giveaway reminded me of the children's book "The Rainbow Fish"! For those who don't know, Rainbow fish is the most beautiful fish in the ocean with iridescent scales. At first he is too proud of his beauty and refuses to share his scales---- but he later finds that by sharing his pretty scales with everyone, he is truly happy! Thanks for the giveaway Steph!
My email is the same as my blogspot site (just add gmail.com instead!)
Aargh!! Where be treasure?
ReplyDeleteAn unsuccessful pirate.
That is what I am.
That's my entry, but I also came up with another one, just for fun and wanted to share it. This one's Yoda-style!
Fruitless is your search.
Live in Canada, you do.
No treasure for you!
