Here are some fun promotions for boomer girls (boomer guys and boomlets are eligible too) to enjoy from chocolate treats to ways to enhance your sleep  during a night of hot flashes:

Chocolate Treats For My Fellow Boomer Girls: Just say “chocolate” and “shopping” in the same sentence and you have my attention. So when Chuao  told me that they are giving America a chocolate makeover with their handcrafted, all-natural gourmet goodies, now available in select Target stores and specialty retailers nationwide – I had to share the news. To celebrate, Chuao is launching a Sweet Makeover sweepstakes and offering my blog readers the chance to win a $1,000 designer shopping spree on Shopbop.com

To enter, simply like Chuao’s Facebook page where you can then enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win the $1,000 designer shopping spree. While there also check out these fabulous prizes Chuao is giving away each week:

– A one-year subscription to Birchbox ($120 value) (Birchbox provides makeup samples.)

– Philosophy Miracle Worker Collection ($190 value) (I love Philosophy products.)

– A Broscato Vibrastrait flat iron ($150 value)

– Clarisonic Mia2 Skin Cleansing System ($150 value) (I’ve been using my Clarisonic Mia that the nice PR lady sent to me and really like the way it cleanses my skin. Hope it helps wash my wrinkles away.)

– Gourmet Chuao chocolate ($180 value)

Chuao will be sending some chocolates for me to sample and I’ll be sharing them with you. If you like Judi Boomer Girl on Facebook or follow judiboomergirl on Twitter or leave a comment on my blog by November 15, you might just win some chocolates. I’ll be randomly selecting one lucky winner!

Sleep LIke A Pro: The makers of SHEEX, a new line of performance sheets for unrivaled sleep, sent some samples of their new pillowcases for me to try. SHEEX bedding is made with performance fabrics that are similar to athletic wear, enabling better temperature control, moisture transport, breathability and superior feel. While I didn’t have any hot flashes the week I slept on my SHEEX, I found the cases to be very soft. I also let my boyfriend L try a pillowcase too…I’m such a nice girlfriend!

And now I want to share SHEEX with my blog readers. To enter the raffle to win a set of SHEEX click here. The winner will be randomly selected in December. Deadline to enter is two weeks from this post, so hurry and sign up. Tell your family and friends too – the more the merrier.

During my life after 50, I’m always interested in learning about ways to improve my sleep. To find out more about sleep health and fitness, visit www.sleepfoundation.org.

Hope everyone on the east coast survived Hurricane Sandy and are safe and warm. I had minimal damage to my “condo on the corner” at the Jersey shore. I was very lucky. To donate to those in need go to www.redcross.org.
