I found a fun contest at A Simple Kind of Life. Colleen, the owner of the blog is going to have a vacation somewhere and she asks readers to guess where she’s going by leaving clues everyday. She needs the particular city, not just the country for the answer so be sure to check out the complete list of the hints plus the guidelines to the contest here.

Winners will be drawn by random and the prizes are:

1st Prize - a $50 Travelocity Gift Card, and a souvenir from the trip!
2nd Prize - a $25 Travelocity Gift Card, and a souvenir from the trip!
3rd, 4th, and 5th Prize - a souvenir from the trip!

The clues get easier and easier by the day and if you love geography and history just like I do, it’s easy peasy!

Teresa is running her first contest of the year over at her personal blog. You have a chance to win a beautiful turquoise bracelet created by Lori Jaclyn. She’s willing to ship anywhere and that means anyone is eligible to participate and win.

I get excited when a contest is open to people from outside the US and if you look at the beautiful piece of jewellery, you can understand why I can’t pass this one up, right?

Deadline to enter is on January 30th.
