Now, I know that when I ask you to do something for me I usually have something great to give you in return, but this time I’m just asking for a favor. A HUGE favor. Can I count on your vote? Pretty please?

Here’s how to vote::

“Like” the BornFree page on Facebook, then scroll down and “like” the note with my entry! (I’m Finalist #3: Christine Young)

Normally I don’t like to ask for favors of this kind, but I’m certainly not above begging for votes to win this one!! I’ll try to figure out a way to thank you all, but please know that I am beyond grateful for your vote!

**UPDATE** I was just informed that BornFree has upped the anty for the three finalists! For every 50 votes (aka “likes” on my entry) I will receive a special prize that I am choosing to pass on to YOU! Prizes may include BornFree trainer cups and bottles (to be passed out at BlogHer), Dapple Baby products, and even a $50 BornFree gift certificate, depending on the total number of votes I receive, of course. I am so excited to be able to give back to those of you who vote for me! Recipients of these special goodies will be chosen from those who have “liked” my entry.

Lukaro of Beverly Hills

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on December 2, 2009

This last summer, while attending BlogHer, I entered a sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip, for a friend and me, to Los Angeles for a hair makeover at one of the top beauty salons in Beverly Hills – Lukaro – courtesy of Suave. And I won!

I invited my sister, Sara, to be my guest and as we planned for our weekend away, sans kids and husbands, we thought it would be loads of fun to make it a big girls weekend and invite our sisters, Rachel and Andrea, and our Mom. Rachel and Mom were able to join us and off we went — to Los Angeles.

A day at Disneyland and a trip to Beverly Hills were the only plans we had for the weekend. We stayed up late in our beautiful hotel, slept in later than usual, and certainly created lots of memories. A highlight, of course, being our visit to Lukaro…

Luke O’Connor and his team took such great care of us, creating a pampering session we will never forget!



As we were leaving Lukaro, I turned to my sisters and said, “Sara looks like a gorgeous model, and I look just like a mom.”

“Uh huh,” said my Mom.

Perhaps I should let my hair grow out again…
