Win a $50 SwimSpot GiftCard

I'm going to admit, picking the perfect swimsuit isn't always the easiest task in the world- especially given the need to find one that compliments your shape, comes in a color you like, by a designer you love and in a style you are comfortable in. With Swimspot.com doing all that just got much easier, which is one of the reasons I love their website.

Not only does Swimspot carry the top designer swimwear for women with brands like Guess swimwear, Luxe by Lisa Vogel swimsuit and Hurley and Hurley Girls for your little one- but they've added features to their site that allows you to narrow your search for the perfect womens swimwear down by designer, style, trends, color, size, price and body type- making finding that perfect suit a breeze.

Looking for a designer bikini? You have see their perfect Bikini Builder- with roughly 800 possible combinations of tops and bottoms- and the ability to preview the combinations on a model you get a method to finding your own style from the comfort of your home.

Still unsure about shopping for that swimsuit? Then you'll love The Fit Specialist Program
by Swimspot.com, where you will get Fit & Style Recommendations For Your Body Type, and Personalized Fit Support:

• Take advantage of a free “personal shopper” experience. It’s kind of like having your own shopping concierge!

A Month of Giveaways!

I have to be honest, when I started Deals and Drivel- it was really meant more for a way to share some great shopping deals with my friends, and maybe their friends. I was pretty much just setting out for a way to take my shopping habits off my FB page, and stick them somewhere people who wanted to see them could, while people who weren't interested wouldn't have to look at them.

I didn't expect that a few months later, I'd have as many fans as I do... and as many mailmen disliking me. ;)  But.. I believe there is *always* a great deal out there, sometimes it just takes a little searching for- and once we find it we should share it with others.

I know some of the great deals I am always wanting to share are the refer a friend programs- and I know a lot of you have mentioned that it's not always easy to get the required number of friends to earn the gift.... which is how the idea for a giveaway started. But, my friends will tell you that I often let my ideas snowball- and I'm afraid that may have happened this time- because I'd really rather have a month of giveaways than just one day of them!

All month, we'll be having lots of contests. To enter each contest you'll have to visit the blog post and leave a comment.  You will also be required to like the Facebook page of the sponsor. Winners will be drawn using Random.org and will be posted the day after the contest ends. I will have a form for winners to fill out with their contact information and other information that maybe needed in order to claim their prize.

And lastly... the first contest will kick off sometime after midnight. I'd like to give a huge thanks to our Sponsors:
Crane USA
SMM Cosmetics 
Oxy
DearFoams
Swimspot

and yeah, I'm going to pop a few surprises in there for you to- so watch carefully!
