Watch this week's episode to see who won last week's Paris Booty Contest!

Paris Booty Contest Update

Here's the skinny on the Paris Booty Contest: 

Kirsten of Sweden won the first week's contest, with her entry about how she'd use the fleur de sel to scour away her inner critic. I'm all for that, so I'm sending the salt all the way back across the ocean to her in Sweden!

I received zero entries for last week's contest. Apparently no one wants to clean up their act, or doesn't want the adorable heart-shaped soaps from Paris. 

So I am going to claim them. But, in all fairness, I will do something to clean up my act. Here's what I'll do. This weekend, I'll clear everything from my desk and wipe it clean. I'll replace only the things that I am using or that inspire me. I may even take the opportunity to make a Sylvia Beach shrine to help with my novel revision juju. 

See? Cleaning up doesn't have to be a major big deal! But I bet that refresh of my desktop will make all the difference. 

Future Paris Booty Contests will be embedded in my Juju Infusion episodes, which appear on Thursdays. You'll want to get your entries in by the following Wednesday at noon MST to be eligible to win. This week's booty: a gorgeous Paris scarf! Enter to win here

Paris Booty Contest: Heart Soaps

It turns out it's really tough to choose a winner from the Paris Booty Contest entries! I appreciate everyone who submitted, both in a comment and in emails to me. Thank you! 

To acknowledge your courage and willingness to step up to the Booty, I'm giving everyone who entered a download of my Creative Fortunes. Watch for an email from me soon, with your pdf of the Creative Fortunes that you can print and use to spark your juju!

Last week's winner of the fleur de sel is Kerstin Dahlén. Kerstin, please email me your address (I know you're in Sweden so the salt will take some time to get to you!) so I can ship your Paris Booty! Read Kerstin's entry on the Paris Booty Fleur de Sel post.

In the future, all Paris Booty Contest entrants will receive some kind of creative juju from me. Because I respect those who speak up and who go for what they want.

Now, for this week's Paris Booty!
