We’re just full of awesome sweepstakes right now – in the past week, we showed you how to enter to win shoes, wine, a tropical spa getaway, and $500 worth of gorgeous glimmery makeup! And we’re not even done yet! We’re winding down our week of amazing giveaways with something we know you’ll love – a $1,000 SPA WEEK® gift card.

1 lucky winner will take home a grand spa experience, but we’re not stopping there! 5 additional first prize winners will enjoy a $100 SPA WEEK® gift card, which we like to think is nothing to sneeze at either.

But hurry! Like all our sweepstakes, this one ends at 11:59 PM on October 31st, which is tomorrow. Hurry here to enter!

Trick or treat? Apparently you can do both.

Peas Of Mind disguises vegetables as French Fries, and I think it’s brilliant! Now if only candy companies made an effort to promote peace – or peas – of mind this Halloween, November would be a much easier month for moms, dentists and anyone watching their diet in any way.

I liked this concept so much that I decided to test out a version of it on my coworkers today. If you disguise celery as a Tootsie Roll, does everybody win?

Project Tootcelery. (Like my cutting board? It's from the MoMa.)

Answer: YES.

Kaitlin said, “I’m so happy it was celery… I wasn’t even in the mood for chocolate. A healthy, crunchy little surprise!”

Moms, how bout it?

Happy Halloween.

During this time of the year when the first telltale wisps of chill in the morning and evening foreshadow their impending long stay, the best way to stay warm and ward off the oncoming cold may be to curl up with a blanket, a cup of hot chocolate (or a hot toddy, whatever) and daydream of the Caribbean.

We want to bump that daydream up a notch – why not dream about going to the Caribbean for free?

Until Saturday at midnight, you can enter to win an amazing spa getaway, courtesy of Pevonia Botanica. Enjoy a stay for two on the beautiful island of Antigua, where you’ll be pampered into blissful oblivion with spa treatments, delicious food & wine, a rainforest tour, private boat rides, and more!

Go here to enter, but hurry!

Chances are you’re probably going to stow away the black lipstick and glittery fake eyelashes once Halloween ends–but you don’t have to completely eliminate drama and glamour from your makeup routine. Check out jane iredale’s Silver Lining Collection, a full set of mineral-based makeup intended to help you achieve the strong, smoky eyes and shimmery lips that will sweep you from Halloween to the holiday season with ease. Spa Week and jane iredale are joining forces to give away $500 worth of jane iredale makeup, including the Silver Lining collection! Ghouls and ghosts alike can enter here. The contest ends this Saturday at midnight, so be sure to enter before then!

Last night, Harper’s Bazaar Editor in Chief Glenda Bailey hosted a shopping party and Spring 2010 trunk show with Derek Lam at his flagship store in SoHo, New York City. Belted furs and structured capes highlighted his Fall collection, and a spectrum of bright blues mixed with elaborate prints offered a vibrant Spring preview.

The guests had a collective eye on the prize: one $1000 Derek Lam shopping spree. A brief moment of disappointment ensued as the winner’s name was called and nobody yelled BINGO – she had left for the night while the rest of us waited it out, bearing the burden of champagne refills in a room of Derek’s beautiful clothes, friends and supporters.

I had a moment to chat with the delightful Glenda Bailey; if Anna is the ice queen, Glenda’s the queen at the royal tea party. I asked her what her favorite spa is, and in her most charming British accent Glenda told me that she is too busy with work and by choice does not go to the spa unless she’s on holiday. “You work so hard though! You deserve it often. Can we send you to the spa?” I offered, and she laughed. I hope she secretly has an appointment booked for today.

Do you ever feel like your busy schedule keeps you away from the spa?
