Much like my need for early morning cuddling and recounting every one of last night’s dreams out loud, Dylan needs coffee in order to function in the wee hours of the day. As in, NEEDS. As in, he IS the guy from that McDonald’s commercial. For a long while, his first coffee intake of the day was from the community pot at work. And because I’m not a coffee drinker, I’ve never been the token wife who prepares Folgers every morning. (I hear it’s not really “the best part of wakin’ up” anyway. But I digress..) For Half-Christmas, all Dylan truly wanted was a Keurig. A Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System to be exact. He made it a point to remind me daily, and now both of us are reaping the benefits. He gets his morning coffee. And I have a much more attentive and willing audience when explaining my dreams of pets turning into vegetables, or my becoming a real spy. No, really. (PLUS, it brews tea AND hot chocolate, so I really can’t complain.) Which leads me to January’s 1 For Me // 1 For You! That’s right.. It’s a Keurig! But before we get into all the specifics, how about a little recap on how 1 For Me // 1 For You works!
- What is it? It’s fairly simple.. If I have one of something that I find functional, fashionable, or just plain fun, I send one of you (the winner) a duplicate!
- Who can enter? Anyone and everyone. Mostly.. :) Please check the not so fine print below for full rules and restrictions!
- How long do I have to enter? You have until next Saturday, January 8th at midnight CST to enter. Each entry will be assigned a number, after which the random number generator at Random.org will choose the winner. Check the blog the next morning to see if you might have won!
- How do I get my shot at winning? *PLEASE NOTE: It’s going to be a little different this time around!* For January’s 1 For Me // 1 For You, we will be utilizing Facebook and Twitter exclusively. (You can certainly still comment on this post, but it will not be counted towards an entry in the contest.) Here’s how it’ll work: To enter via Facebook, you must first “Like” (aka, become a fan of) the Alyse French Photography page *HERE*. THEN, leave a comment on the page wall. EASY PEASY! As for entering via Twitter, just make sure you follow @alysefrench and then tweet about the contest including a link to this original blog post. An example: “So excited about January’s 1 For Me // 1 For You giveaway hosted by @alysefrench. For more info, visit http://bit.ly/gyTF26! Pls RT.” And as always, only one entry per person! Meaning, you can’t enter via Facebook AND Twitter. Just pick one!
- But why? Because you didn’t end up getting it for Christmas, and you really wanted to, whether you knew it or not.. ;)
Introducing, the Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System! And without trying to sound too much like an infomercial.. This baby brews a perfect tea cup, mug, or travel mug (with its three different cup sizes) of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or any iced beverage in less than 60 seconds! Plus, its black/chrome exterior with blue backlit LCD are just plain classy. This Keurig model also allows for programmable water temperature AND an auto on/off. Do you want it yet? :)Here you can better see the Keurig‘s 48 oz. water reservoir. So, although it only brews one cup at a time, you can actually brew several right in a row! (Mug not included. ;) But its from Target, should you like.)Doin’ its thang! After a K-Cup portion pack is inserted (more on that with the following image) you just lower the handle and choose your cup size!The Keurig Home-Brewing System also comes with a bonus 12 K-Cup variety pack to get you started! This includes numerous different types of coffee, tea, and cocoa! YUM.And might I add, Keurig KILLED their branding? Awesome.There you have it! One for me, and one for you!
