PZI Jeans Gift Certificate Giveaway! (9/3/08 - 9/10/08)
Which brings me to my next point, really now, what is any fall wardrobe without a great pair of jeans? Skinny jeans, bootcut, wide leg... no matter what fit suits your fancy, Shop With a Vengeance and PZI Jeans are here to help you figure out that hot new fall outfit!
That's right ladies, with the help of KMR Communications, I am offering one lucky reader the chance to win a gift certificate for a pair of PZI Jeans! Just fill out the form below (U.S. residents only please) and enter for a chance to win!Free jeans? Sounds great right?! Well, these aren't just any old jeans... PZI Jeans fit and flatter curvy figures in a way unlike any other. Traditionally, most jeans are engineered with gaps at the waist to prevent going up a size to accommodate the hips and rear while neglecting the waist. PZI Jeans eliminate the gaps allowing women to embrace their true jean size. PZI Jeans are available in sizes 4-16, with inseam options of 31”, 34”, 36” and 38” to eliminate inseam alterations. PZI Jeans addresses problem areas that women across all body types, ages and ethnicities experience. The jeans contour the hips and lift the rear and thighs to complement your natural shape.
Want to win your own pair? Don't forget to enter the contest -- this one will be ending soon. Also, check out PZI Jeans online to check out their various fit and style options :)

Reader Feedback: Skincare Tips!
Here are the results:
"My beauty tip is use a microfiber cloth to exfoliate instead those scrubbers with coarse material. Another one which I think is more important than what you do externally is watch what you eat. Make sure you eat your fruits and vegetables and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids." - Ngoc H.
"I drink plenty of water and see my dermatologist regularly." - Claudia
"In order to keep my skin looking its best, before I put on my favorite moisturizer at night, I make sure that I exfoliate not with a hand towel, but with an electronic toothbrush. The rubbing motion of the bristles is just the right motion to remove all the dead skin cells that are still on my face. I just use whatever exfoliant I am using at the time. Right now I'm loving Dr. Haschuka's Cleaning Cream." -Rebecca
"Right now my favorite skin care tip is an old fashioned one...but something I had forgotten: after cleansing your face use super-cold water after rinsing to tighten pores!" - Katy Morris
"I always touch my face gently and insist that others do the same!" - Paula in Seattle
"My favorite skincare tip would be to "relax, relate, and release". I know it's a cheesy line, but I believe that hormones play a key role in how our body reacts to various stress levels. And since our skin is our largest organ, it is ultimately affected by our moods and lifestyle changes. I generally can't go wrong with a basic skincare routine (cleanser, toner, moisturizer), however, i've noticed that my skin was its clearest when I made an effort to relax more and not let stressful experiences overwhelm me." - Kenya (Virtuous Blue)
"Mine would be to use a moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher. Also, what the other ladies said drink plenty of water." - Karina"My biggest skincare tip would be a tip passed on by my mom. It would be sleeping early and having at least 8 hours of sleep everyday. Trust me, it needs some discipline to sleep early every night! When you have enough sleep, you will feel fresh, your skin doest feel dehydrated and your eyes look bright and well rested. You will also realise that with enough sleep, your makeup glides on beautifully on your skin. I've also noticed I do not need as much makeup compared to days when I'm sleep deprived. Skin rejuvenates and heals as we sleep, usually between 12midnight - 3am. Therefore, this also helps to maximize the potential of our night cream treatment. " - Beauty Tyrant
