My name is Anita DeFrank and I am a soda-holic. Isn’t that the first step? Seriously, ask my friends and they’ll tell you they never see me without a pepsi in my hands. 24/7/365

That’d be why I’m really excited about this new product I found via Twitter of my good friend @Ravish30 – actually I found the contest to win one and the name of the product really caught my attention. It’s called SodaStream

Sounds cool, doesn’t it? (Well if you’re a soda-holic like me then it really caught your attention as it did mine, lol!)

I clicked on her giveaway link just so I could at least see what the product was. You’ve got to at least go to SodaStreamUSA (link above) and check out the video. It’s pretty short but it shows you exactly what this thing does and how it works. To make the long story short … you make your own soda at home! Do you have any idea how much money that would save me??

And I’ll admit upfront, the main reason I’m telling our readers about this is cause it’ll get me 5 extra entries to Laura’s contest at New Age Mama’s but that’s not the only reason. I truly think this product is cool! Plus Laura gave it a great review to boot. I’d love to get my hands on one of these!

You too can get a few chances to win by entering here:

And I’ll wish you good luck but darnit, I really want this thing! lol!

{Sigh} Now if only I could just convice the folks at @sodastreamusa to let me do a review for you all …

St. Petersburg, FL

Congratulations Cindy!!

I’ll be contacting you soon with the details on how to claim your prize!

If you’re a member of my message boards or even a member of our social network for wahms, you’re probably familiar with my quick impromptu contests that I’m famous for.  Yeah, I do them quite often … most are familiar enough to know to follow me because you just never know, lol.  Last week there was someone who actually coined me the contest queen. 

So yeah, it’s no secret … I love holding contests!

As I said above, you’ll usually find me holding a quick impromptu contest … just like it sounds.

• they’re quick – usually if you don’t see the contest announcement within a few hours – if that – you’ve probably already lost out …
• they’re impromptu – you just never know when the mood may hit me …
• it’s a conest – okay if that isn’t obvious enough – I love giving away cool prizes …

So anyway … let’s get on with this …
I decided to bring part of this concept to our blog!  It’ll be a contest with a pretty cool prize and it will be impromptu.  However, it won’t be just as quick as usual.  So instead of it lasting for less than an hour.  I’ll give almost a week.

As much as I would love to dream … there’s always someone here 24/7.
… although, you may want to consider stopping by a little more often  
(Have I mentioned this yet … you just never know when.)

I also borrowed a detail from another blogger friend of mine – how to enter.

Alrighty, with all that said … let’s get on with our first contest.

Prize:  One lucky winner is going to win a copy of my ebook Kickstart – Guide to Giving Your Online Business the Boost it So Desperately Needs
