Mother’s Day 2009: Votre Vu/Bruno Jamais (Giveaway)

I’m not sure about you, but one of the things I’d really like this Mother’s Day is something I would never buy for myself.  I can’t remember the last time I purchased something indulgent like a lotion or face cream or went out to a restaurant without my husband.  It would be wonderful to have a leisurely dinner  at a restaurant that didn’t have a kid’s menu.  What used to be something as easy as getting up and going, has now become more involved.  Schedules have to be arranged, my son has to be watched, and then there is the whole aspect of money!

This Mother’s Day, KMR Communications, Inc would like to celebrate one of you moms with a truly elegant giveaway.  One very lucky reader will have an opportunity to win a $50.00 gift certificate to the luxurious Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club in Manhattan and an Almond Pie Rich Souffle Lotion for the body from Votre Vu ($48.00).  Fortunately for all of you, I live all the way on the opposite coast (*smiles*).  Actually, I really enjoy reader giveaways and I’m just as excited when my winner receives a treat they weren’t expecting.  Here is a little more information about the sponsoring companies from their sites:

image003Treat yourself to Tart D’Amanda Souffle Riche Pour Le Corps day or night for luxurious moisture protection that’s never heavy or greasy, just divine.  Almond Pie exudes a warm fragrance, rich with coveted and healthy ingredients to treat your whole body.  Vitamins and tropical nut oils provide the ultimate in hydrated and sensuously silky skin.  While rich with fatty acids and decadent aroma, there are no calories to be gained here.  Guiltlessly dive into a big scoop of absolute deliciousness, and those lucky enough to be near you will savor the pleasure too.  Macadamia Oil, Vital, Grape Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, D Panthenol, and Cerasome A and E make up this truly indulgent lotion.

brunojamaisnew2Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club brings the French Riviera to the upper east side. Where else can one dine in style until 3am with delectable cuisine such as chocolate soufflé and Foie Gras? The service and décor are equally impressive. The restaurant received the “Best Interior Design” award by Hospitality Design Magazine. The restaurant Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club may be located in a brownstone on the Upper East Side of New York; however the ambience is pure Paris where Executive Chef Hok Chin’s cuisine is as artistic as the stylish décor.  Celebrity patrons have included Billy Bladwin, Joan Rivers, Cindy Adams, Chazz Palminteri, and former President Bill Clinton.

  11. My Votre Vu favorite is CALM, COOL, AND COLLECTED Calming Cotton Masque Pour Le Visage. I love the Maine Lobster & Scallops at Bruno Jamais. My mom lives in Chicago, but I am surprising her with a trip to NYC for Mother’s Day, so this gift card would definitely be put to good use!

  22. This giveaway is truly divine!

    From Votre Vu, I love the Full Benefits Base Face Regimen Set. I love that all the products in the set are anti-aging. I am still in my twenties, but better to start the antiaging routine sooner than later. It includes everything you need from cleanser, toner, treatment, and protect.

    Bruno Jamais sounded esquisite. I literrally want to hop on a plane and eat there. I would love to try the Filet Mignon Rossini or Sake Miso Glazed Cod.

    I live in Florida, but my dearest and bestest friend, Kimberly, is a grad student at Columbia University in NYC. I would love to give her this gift certificate so she can enjoy a good night out in the City. Her birthday is in July so I can sneak it to her as a b-day gift.

    Thanks for the great giveaway.
