Yep, you guessed it. SKR again. Win a pair of See Kai Run shoes by commenting at MomFinds before April 30.

I often try on shirts and dresses that are cute, but then think, “this is waayyy too low cut.” Enter Chickies Cleavage Cover, a mom-invented product that helps with this very dilemma. Enter to win one at Musings of a Housewife before April 30.

Sk*rt is searching for a new name (long story…) and they want YOU to vote on it. If you do, you could win a Calista Pro Series, No Wires No Hands Phone or a Magic Bullet Platinum Pro. Voice your opinion before May 2.

Weary Parent is giving away a $150 gift certificate to Zappos shoes. And I was just thinking that I need a new pair of spring/summer casual shoes (maybe this pair or this pair). Leave a comment before May 2.

If I won this $100 gift certificate to Lands End (up for grabs at Hormone-colored Days), I might buy a new swimsuit (this one is kinda cute…I like the swim skirt look). What would you buy? Deadline: May 4.

This prize package includes a leather clutch, a sparkly necklace and cuff, and antiperspirant, but I’m so in the Woman’s Day Magazine Girls’ Night Out Giveaway for the $500 gift card to Nordstrom (I *LOVE* Nordstrom Rack). Enter before May 5.
