Home/Work: The Great Big Summer Giveaway

Home/Work: The Lifehack Great Big Summer Giveaway

It’s here, folks: The Lifehack Great Big Summer Giveaway! We’ve got some great sponsors, great prizes, and some great contests coming up over the next couple of weeks.

“Home/Work” is the theme of the giveaway, and over the next two weeks we’ll be asking you, Lifehack’s readers, to tell us how you manage the tricky feat of keeping your home life and your work life organized, productive, and in balance — and sharing some ideas of our own.

For the next two weeks, we’ll run a giveaway every weekday, with tons of great prizes from our sponsors. Look for the first contest later today! In the meantime, why not pay a visit to some of our sponsors, who all deserve a Great Big Summer Thank You for their cooperation and eager participation. It’s been a pleasure getting to know the people behind the brands over the last month organizing this giveaway.

  • Our own Lorie Marrero is offering a 1-year subscription to The Clutter Diet, a home organization program that’s like a diet for your home.

    In addition to delicious Fair Trade coffee and chocolate, North Americans also have access to Fair Trade sports balls for soccer, football, basketball, and more. Stop by the Whole Foods Roosevelt store to see the display and take home a perfect Fall Festival gift…a Fair Trade football!:)

    Of course living your values depends on your values, but as someone concerned about both the economic survival of my local community and the quality of the food I and my family eat, I take the (sometimes extra) effort necessary to seek out locally grown and produced foods. My goal is to promote their inclusion in local food stores, but the economics and politics of large chain operations make that difficult. At the risk of sounding old-fashioned, I guess living your values sometimes means choosing hard work over convenience.
