Great Giveaway – Boobie Buddy

GIVEAWAY

***This Giveaway is now closed and no longer taking entries.  Thanks to all who commented.  The results will be announced Wednesday, October 6th, 2010***

ok.  I am really excited about this one.  Not only is it awesome to the awesomest degree, but it will seriously be your boobies best buddy.  Hence the very clever post title.  What the heck does that mean?  Well, it means that we have one very great product that benefits you…and one very cool opportunity to support one of the nearest and dearest causes to my heart (no pun intended) – Breast Cancer reasearch.

Okay so here is the deal…we have up for one lucky reader a kick-bootie shower head.  And here are the reasons that it rocks my world:

  • It’s PINK!   
  • It’s a beautiful bathroom fixture
  • It’s a great reminder to check yourself for lumpage in the shower
  • It’s purchase benefits breast cancer research
  • It’s almost OCTOBER which happens to be breast cancer awareness month
  • It’s a cool way we onliners…and we DIYers can rally support for a great cause while doing what we love 

Wanna see it and it’s glorious pinkness?  Here she is:

So this one is so close to my heart because one of my good friends…her mom lost in the battle against breast cancer.  She was vigilant in her mammograms…yet, nothing was ever detected.  Then one day (in the shower) she bent over to pick something off the floor and she felt it.  THE LUMP.  Her self-exam brought her to the doctor and after years of chemo, radiation and fighting…she went home.  As sad as this story is…there are too many like it.  And supporting this cause is one little way you can help fund breast cancer research – so that one day we can lick this thing.  (and plus, this shiny little ditty wouldn’t look too shabby in any home!).

Here’s how it helps :

“GROHE’s HopeFlowsTM…30 Minutes at a Time supports breast cancer research through donating $25 to the BCRF for every GROHE Ladylux3 Café and Ladylux3 Plus faucet sold in participating showrooms, and $10 to the BCRF for every Rainshower® Icon Hand Shower sold during the month of October.   Each donation sponsors 30 minutes of research time and GROHE aims to support a research project for a full year through a $250,000 donation to the BCRF.   GROHE is passionate about finding a cure since  GROHE employees have been affected by breast cancer or are survivors themselves, and since the bathroom is where self-examinations often occur.”

Now if you are thinking of replacing your current shower head, I would urge you to consider this one.  And for one lucky reader, we have one shower head kit up for grabs.

Here’s the giveaway deets:

PRIZE : GROHE Pink Rainshower® Icon hand shower and accompanying adapter and hose (combined value $250+)

NUMBER OF WINNERS : One (1)

TO ENTER : Leave a comment with the phrase “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY” (for fun you can tell me how often you check your tah-tahs! I have to admit…I’m not a great checker.)

NITTY GRITTY :  This giveaway ends on Tuesday, October 5th at 8am EDT.  Only one contest entry per email address.   The winners will be chosen using Random.org and announced on Wednesday, October 6th.

  1. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I’m the first to comment! This is a great giveaway or a great cause…and I admit, I’m not always the best at checking either!

  3. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I check mine every month! I have a reminder in my medicine cabinet (along with the ABCD’s of melanomas) to keep me on track.

    Great giveaway!

  4. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY! What a cool giveaway – I love it 🙂 I try to remember to check mine, but I’m pretty sure I fall off the monthly train. I kind of just do it randomly when I remember.

  5. Be mine boobie buddy!
    I check mine once a month after finding a lump (in the shower, actually!) 3 years ago that ended up being a tumor that had to be removed. It was benign, thankfully….but I am a huge advocate of self checks now!!

  6. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    I’m actually horrible at self-checking, which is really bad because both my grandmothers had breast cancer. What a wonderful cause, this is the first I’ve heard of it!

  9. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I try to check once a month but I don’t always remember. This would be a sweet reminder! Plus we have the super awful builder grade shower heads right now. Blarf!

  15. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I’m not as good as I should. And I lost a good family friend a few months ago. Let’s all make a commitment to be better, okay? xoxo

  16. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!
    My mama is a breast cancer survivor so this is also a cause near and dear to my heart. I’m still not as good as I should be. I guess I prefer to go to second base with my lady doctor.

  17. Be mine boobie buddy!
    I check once a month after finding (in the shower) a lump a few years ago; it ended up being a tumor that had to be removed. It was benign, but I’m a huge advocate for self-checks now!

  20. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I’m definitely not as good as I should be.

    My mom is finishing her last day of radiation tomorrow for this crappy disease. I’m so proud of her… and luckily we seem to be on our way to her being in the clear. Breast cancer really does effect everyone.

  22. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY… I check my ta-tas in the shower after my monthly cycle, every month. You must check every month! It’s a must, must, must. 🙂 xo

  24. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY” I’m not the greatest checker either. I should be, one of my Aunt’s had breast cancer – in remission today still! =)

  29. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    What a great cause. My grandmother passed away from breast cancer about 6 years ago and it still hurts. She had previously had breast cancer like 10+ years prior, had a mastectomy but it came back. 🙁

    You would think this would mean I would be vigilant about self exams but sadly, I am not! I’m so small chested that I just assume I’d see a lump. Ha!

  30. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!
    what a fabulous idea to get women to check! i’m a vigilant boobie checker after losing my grandmother to breast cancer!
    thanks for a chance at a great giveaway for an even better cause!

  31. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!
    I do not check nearly enough. I know I should, but it’s one of those things that I just don’t think about.

  34. I posted once, but I’m not seeing it after waiting for 10 minutes…so…

    “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY” I’m not so great at checking either. You’d think I would be better at it after having an Aunt go through breast cancer

  35. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!
    I check about once every two months….very bad. I’m checking tonight when I get home.

  37. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I don’t check monthly…but I know I should 🙁
    Why do we never do what we know is in our best interest…arrgggghhhh

  39. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY! This is a great way to raise awareness. Unfortunately breast cancer is very common in my family, so I’m all about the “Pink” cause!

  45. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I check often! My 18 year old sister has had two surgeries in the last year to remove 7 (!!!) lumps (all non-cancerous, thankfully!) so breast cancer awareness is HUGE in our family!!!

  47. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I try to remember to check monthly. I have one of those little hanging cards in the shower to remind me! Love this giveway. Thanks!

  49. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    Since breast cancer runs in my family, I try to check bimonthly. Even though i’m only 24, it can’t hurt to check.

    Love the blog, keep the fun coming!

  51. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY”

    Great giveaway! Race for the Cure will be here in a few weeks and can’t wait to walk with 50,000 plus amazing women!

  52. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!”

    I admit that I am lousy at remembering to check. You’d think with the fact that I’m breastfeeding and they’re hanging out all day long, I’d remember, but nope.

  54. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!!
    I don’t check often enough – this shower head would be a great reminder though

  56. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I have a little reminder in the shower (which my hubs thinks is awkward especially if we let guests use our bigger master bath instead of the teeny-weeny guest room shower), but I STILL forget to check! Tsk Tsk!

  57. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY
    I’m horrible with checking, like, I don’t remember the last time I did it properly…….

  60. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!
    Great idea – I’ve had 3 non-cancerous lumps removed and I’m not even 35 – so it’s a great reminder!

  62. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I try to check once a month, but it’s more like once every 3 months.

    Oh, and I would LOVE this new showerhead to replace the crappy ones that were installed when we bought our house!

  63. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY! I don’t check very often at all which is bad. Of course, I have hardly any boobies so if something was there, I would think I would notice!! The hubby says he would notice so maybe they are checked a little more often. lol

  65. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY! I don’t check at all. I’m terrible. I know. And now I’m 6 months pregnant and I have nature’s boob job and I’m like… scared of my boobs. Sigh.

  66. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    I don’t check nearly as often as I should. I HAVE however gotten better since I had my baby 6 weeks ago… breast feeding has me messaging my boobies a lot more often in the shower haha.

  69. BE MINE BOOBY BUDDY !!

    my boobs are checked regularly … my partner decided it was his responsibility … he never forgets the monthly check !!

  70. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    What a catch phrase. I think I’ll walk around town shouting that at the top of my lungs. Should be fun!

    I’m bad. I check maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Even though I have it on my calendar, in bold, “CHECK BOOBIES!”

  71. Oh yeah, and ever since I started nursing, I periodically shout “BOOBIES” at random. Mostly because my baby is so excited to see them. Only… I did it in the middle of a restaurant by accident last month. I’m just that cool…

  79. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!!! Not a great checker, but certainly would be if this were in the shower to remind me 🙂

  80. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY”

    Great giveaway! Admittedly, I didn’t check my boobies as often as I should. My MIL was just diagnosed w/breast cancer and starts her first round of chemo today. It’s because of her diagnosis that I will check my bobbies regularly.

  83. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    I’m a fairly vigilant checker, and I’m only 23. My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was about 10, and she luckily made it through A-OK and is cancer-free all these years later 🙂
    (And at 70, she now has perkier boobs than my mom because she opted for a ‘replacement and lift’ about 10 years after her mastectomy! So funny!)

  85. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    I prob dont check mone as often as I should- which is why this would be a perfect thing for- that daily reminder 🙂

  86. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY! I wasn’t the best checker either, until my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago. I check at least once a month now and encourage everyone else to get in the habit sooner than later!

  87. BE MY BOOBIE BUDDY!!!

    I don’t check as often as I should – really just randomly when I remember. I MUST do better & this little beauty might just help!

  90. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I’m not a good checker either. 🙁 But I just did so my boobies wouldn’t feel left out!

  91. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!
    I don’t check them as often as I should. I think my husband would be the first to find one 😉

  92. be mine boobie buddy!

    My mom found her lump in the shower, so this seems fitting. I have a new home and my kitchen now has the entire Cook for the Cure pink line to remind everyone that visits my home of the cause; outfitting my shower with this would remind me to take care of myself as well. I never needed a reason to love pink before, but now it’s a color that symbolizes all the love and support our family was given during her battle. This October will be better than last because she’s officially a survivor now. 🙂

  93. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I used to be rather nonchalant about checking my ta-tas, until my best friend was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in January at the age of 40 (She’s done with Chemo, finishing up radiation, has already had her surgery and is CANCER FREE! YAY!!!) So I’m a bit more vigilant now – although not nearly as vigilant as I should be 🙂

    (PS – If your doctor tells you not to worry about a lump because “Cancer doesn’t hurt” insist on an immediate mammogram and find your self a new doctor. I’d hate to see someone else let a statement like that delay a diagnosis)

  104. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I check a couple of times each year, and of course when I get my annual exam. My grandmother and aunt on my father’s side have both fought cancer, so I know I need to be more regular about this… I’ll try harder!

  105. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY”

    I don’t check near enough, but I need to. I have 3 family members suffering from cancer right now. It sux!
    LOVE the pink shower head though…and would love it even more in MY shower ;0)

  106. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    After having a mother go through breast cancer treatment as well, I would love to have a friendly reminder in my bathroom so that I can take part in prevention.

  107. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY
    not a regular checker, but my doc does once a year. this in the shower would certainly remind me!
    thank you!

  108. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!!

    I used to check the girls in the shower but five years ago I was diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer at 25 and while pregnant with our 4th child! We’re both survivors as I did chemo while i was pregnant with her!!!

    Thanks for supporting a great cause. Thanks to people like you people like me are still alive!!

  111. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    Eesh – I should really check mine more. I do it maybe every couple of months. Bad!

  112. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!!!

    I try to remember to check every month. This pink beauty would be a great reminder!!

  113. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!!

    I’m not very consistent with checking, but I just went to my doctor last week 🙂

  118. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I am bad… I just check whenever I remember in the shower, so not often enough! What a great reminder this would be.

  119. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY”

    I’m a breast cancer survivor and doing very well. I appreciate all the research and attention that has helped women like me. My bathroom is dove grey and this would look very pretty in there!

  123. Be Mine Boobie Buddy! I check every few months. I guess because I’m nursing I feel ’em up every day so I don’t think about it. =)

  124. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    What a great product for a great cause! I do check about once a month, but this would be a great reminder!

    Locally we do a great “fun”draiser in which local businesses and non-profits are asked to design a bra for the fight against breast cancer! The bra’s are displayed at a local boutique and each “vote” is $100. It is so cool to see all the ideas.

    This year we did big glossy pink cat-eye glasses to give a nod to how far the research has come as well as continueing to see a cure in the future. The cocktail event for the unviel of all the bras is tomorrow and I can’t wait to see all of them! Who thought I’d ever get so excited about some booby holders! 🙂

  125. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY”

    haha this might sound grosser than intended, but a fun way to remember is by segwaying into some alone time with the hubby right from there!

  126. BE Mine Boobie Buddy!

    Love it!

    I am not the best checker either, but I probably check mine every 2 months.

  128. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    Once a month and I’m only 26. Lost my grandma to the awful thing and she was 56. My aunt is also a survivor so I am especially careful to check every month 🙂

  131. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!
    After having my first mammogram at 32 on the advice of my doctor (mine are just fine, thank you God!), I’m trying to be diligent at checking every month. What a wonderful giveaway and reminder this is!

  135. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    I would LOVE to win this for my cousin. Breast cancer research is a cause that’s VERY close to her heart, in fact she’s running the Nike Women’s Marathon next month and we are doing our annual family breast cancer walk next month. And to top it all off, she is the biggest fan of anything pink!

  140. Be Mine Boobie Buddy! I check mine at least once a month. I have a reminder that my doc gave me hanging in the shower 🙂

  147. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    Does not as often as I should count as an answer? 🙂 Probably every couple of months. One of my friends (only 28) just found a lump, and they’re pretty sure it’s a benign tumor/adenoma, but still. Scary.

  149. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY I try once a month – sometimes it’s less frequent though (shame on me!).

  151. Be Mine Boobie Buddy! I’m terrible with this. I assume (wrongly) that because I’m young (and flat) I’m immune. Thanks for the reminder!!

  154. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I just saw this shower head in an advertisement … Target ad? Such a great cause to support too!

  155. My daughter told me about this give-away

    Be Mine Boobie Buddy!!

    I’m usually very diligent about doing my monthly checks and scheduling mammograms!

  156. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY”

    Love this giveaway and your blog! I check about once a month, though sometimes I’m bad at remembering.

  163. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    My husband checks my ta-tas for me a couple times a week. 😉

    In all seriousness though, I read somewhere that a large percentage of breast lumps are first found by your partner during the deed.

  168. Be mine boobie buddy! (I don’t check myself nearly as often as I should, maybe twice a year…eeck!)

  172. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY! I check whenever I think about it, which is not that often! Seeing this every day would be a great reminder!!!

  173. Be Mine Boobie Buddy….. and help me remember to check my boobies better! I don’t check mine as regularly or at the right time in coordination with my cycle. I think a pink shower head is GENIUS to help women this important task.

  174. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY”

    Over the last 10 m0nths my grandma had a breast cancer surgery, both my mom and my aunt was called in twice for check-ups, so this must mean that I HAVE to really make sure I check my own ‘boobies’ more often.
    They might not be the same size, they might not be large, they might not look like all the models’, but my my boobs are great the way they are, and I hope every single one of you girls out there feel the same about yours! You deserve it and your boobs do as well.
    All of a sudden the month of October means more to me now than it did before. Pink will be my prime color for the season.

  175. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I think I need a reminder like this – I miss being in college, where in the dorm showers, they had signs posted reminding the ladies to check their girls! This could be my daily reminder 🙂

  176. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I always check right after my doctor politely reminds me to check….and then I forget….maybe a little pink in the shower would help me remember!

  178. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I check about once a month, but I am not very consistent. Have had two mammograms, so now “they” are helping me check as well!

  180. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I check pretty frequently. I’m young, but have a strong family history of breast cancer and I have already had 2 lumps biopsied.

  182. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY.
    I try to check every month but now that I’m 3 months pregnant there’s no way I can get near these ta-tas. Ouch!

  183. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    This looks like a little piece of heaven in a bathroom! I believe it would be love at first sight. I’m going to have to admit that I am not as diligent in the ‘ole checks as I should be…..here’s hoping it gets better! 🙂

  184. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I lost my Gran to breast cancer 3 years ago so being proactive is so important!

  186. Be mine Boobie Buddy!

    I am horrible about checking, though I should know better. My aunt had breast cancer on both sides. My grandmother had one bout. A really good friend my age had it. Yikes!

  191. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY… because I am in dire need of a reminder. 24 is as good an age as any to get more in the habit of checking these tatas.

  194. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    My hubby is a pretty good tah-tah checker. Haha.

    I check them every month or so, but not strictly like the same day per month and in circular motions.

  200. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    I don’t check my often enough either. A woman I work with is 26 and was just diagnosed with breast cancer though. It just shows that it could happen to anyone and you can never be too careful.

  201. Be mine Boobie Buddy!!

    This is a fantastic way to remind us all to check a little more regularly. It is becoming all too common – in the last couple of months I have heard that THREE women I know have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It breaks my heart!

    I send my best wishes to anyone that has been diagnosed with this horrible disease, and to their friends and family.

    xx

  202. Be Mine Boobie Buddy

    I am horrible about remembering to do this, there’s no doubt in my mind that a boobie buddy would help me to remember 😉

  205. Be Mine Boobie Buddy! My great-grandmother died of breast cancer. She was a very strong woman that worked for the cruise ships in the Mobile, Al bay and raised her children on her own. I dont check my girls nearly enough.

  211. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    Honestly I don’t check my girls as often as I should…but if I won this awesomely pink shower head I’d remember a lot more. I am all about supporting research to find a cure for breast cancer. My mother in law is a BC survivor and I am so thankful she’s still around.

  213. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!!!! We have a dreadful showerhead and this one is so…not!
    As for checking my ta ta’s, unfortunately I don’t do much in the way of self exams because I have such dense and lumpy boobs that I just freak myself out. I have to leave it to the pros.
    Thanks for participating in breast cancer awareness month! One of my best friends just lost her mom after a TEN YEAR battle with metastatic cancer that started in her breasts. Just before she passed away she got to see her daughter get married but she will miss the birth of her her first grandchild this spring. I wish that no other grandmother would have to miss that!

  222. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!
    What a great givaway – such a good cause!
    I don’t check often enough, but I tried to do it once a month….but rarely in the shower so this would be a great reminder.

  223. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!!

    This is a great giveaway! I don’t check as often as I KNOW I should, but I try to at least once a month!

  229. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I try to remember once a month…but I forget sometimes, so probably more like every other month.

  230. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY! I laugh everytime I read this title 🙂 I honestly don’t check often. I get one at my yearly exam, an dI probably check them 2 other times a year…

  232. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I just turned 40 this year and although I self-check often, this was a great reminder to get off my butt and book my first mammogram. So if for no other reason, this giveaway was a successful post meant just for me today! 🙂

  233. BE MINE BOOBY BUDDY! I check them when I remember. Which is a lot more often now that i’m preggers – my constantly changing boobs is a good reminder!

  234. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY” look… my bathroom is already 1950’s pink so just give it up. I’ll do whatever you say… oh… touch my boobies… ok.

  236. Be Mine Boobie Buddy! Great giveaway. This may be a repeat, as I didn’t see my original comment appear.

  238. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY

    Hahaha 🙂 Unfortunately, I remember to check only once or twice a year …

  239. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY!

    I am a nursing mama, so I am constantly massaging my sore boobies (TMI, no??). If there was a lump, I’d find it!

  242. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY! I’m in the market for a new showerhead, so this would be perfect timing! Oh, and I’m not such a good checker either. I need to get better about that. Thanks for the reminder!

  243. Be Mine Boobie Buddy!

    I have never been good at checking the ta-tas. However, my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer a year and a half ago. She is a survivor and I am now much more motivated to check things out.

  244. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY – for my friend, Nancy, fighting breast cancer at too young an age.

  245. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY” I love this!! Such a great reminder to Check Yourself!
    Still love your blog, as always.

    Pam (the other Katie Bower’s mom) Grossman

  251. Wow very interesting post……I really like this very much……..
    I would adore to win this for my cousin……. Breast growth do research is a cause that’s VERY close to her heart, in fact she’s consecutively the Nike Women’s Marathon next month and we are doing our annual family breast cancer walk next month. And to top it all off, she is the biggest fan of anything pink………………..
    thanks for this one…

  253. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY
    I should really check more often… I can’t remember the last time 🙁

  257. BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY. Let me just say i could use this as a reminder! I check every now & again when i am reminded… which is not often enough. Thanks!

  258. “BE MINE BOOBIE BUDDY” I’m a failure…I check rarely, when I think about it and am not afraid to find out the worst, a bit extreme, I check.
