As the Succulent Wife has matured, so have her writers, who have just come to terms with calling themselves Baby Boomers. Although we do not feel our age and have always felt that Baby Boomers were of the older generation, we have now embraced who we are, i.e. members of the most influential generation ever. Thus, The Succulent Wife is now, officially for B(l)oomers™ *.

To those who have seen us grow and to those who have just discovered us, we want to thank you for being part of our journey of succulent self-discovery.

We would like to offer to four of our readers a $25.00 Gift Certificate to Restaurant.com (if you do not know about Restaurant.com, just read what we wrote here).

To enter this giveaway, please subscribe to our blog (see the subscribe field in the right column) and then simply tell us – by leaving a comment below – what you enjoy about The Succulent Wife or what topic you would like us to focus on. The giveaway is open until January 12, 2012 at 11:59 am CT.

Usual giveaway rules are: One entry per person. The winner will be chosen at random using a random integer generator. Your information is confidential and used for this giveaway only. Multiple entries will be deleted. Winner who does not respond within 2 days of our announcement via email will be dismissed in favor of another winner. Restaurant.com certificates are valid in U.S.A only.

Just in time for the start of the festive season of parties, entertaining and overindulgence, Galeos is offering three giveaways of their 5-pack of great tasting, low calorie miso-based dressings. All this because they want you to try all their flavors, but most especially their brand new Miso Southwest dressing.

We have written about Galeos miso dressings before. We love their product and we’re happy to introduce you to the newest addition to the family, the Miso Southwest dressing, which has only 25 calories and 1g of fat for 1 tbsp of dressing, making it easier to keep within a reasonable caloric intake during this holiday season. With a zesty hint of sriracha peppers you would never know that this dressing is miso based.

Here is a video demonstrating a super easy Chicken Fajita recipe using the New Miso Southwest Dressing. YUM!

An Earthly Body massage candle does not just create a romantic ambiance with its light and fragrance but the melted wax can also be used as a moisturizer or warm massage oil. We are thinking the later as Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching… Each candle is made with soy and hemp seed oil that leaves the skin soft and nicely moisturized, not greasy. These candles burn cleaner and longer than the paraffin ones. But that is, of course, depending your ratio of candle burning/massaging – nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Here is your chance to win a set of TWO 3-in-1 Massage Candles. There will be TWO winners as well. To enter, please subscribe to our blog (see the subscribe field in the right column) and then simply head over to Earthly Body and let us know which two fragrances you would like and leave a comment below. The giveaway is open until February 8, 2011, at 11:59am CT.
