DOVE® Ice Cream Miniatures “My Mini Moment” Contest

You ALL know how much I LOVE chocolate, well, did you also know that I love ice cream?? I was thrilled to learn about the Dove Ice Cream's "My Mini Moment" contest. What Dove wants is for women to share their favorite mini moment of escape, then one lucky winner could win one of 3 sensational mini-grand prizes: a mini-getaway to Napa Valley, Spa services for a year or a mini-home makeover. To qualify all you ladies have to do is submit a photo and short essay at DoveIceCream.com/myminimoment by June 7, 2010. Myself, I would love to go to the Napa Valley... what a great vacation that would be? What do you guys think??? Well, get to it... write your essay and submit a photo, you are all just lovely ladies so get your pretty faces out there!!

Dove miniatures are delicious ice cream wrapped in the best chocolate ever and are only 70 calories each... a mini dream come true in every bite. They now even have a decadent Dove Ice Cream Cafe Collection in Cappuccino and Java Chip, my favorite being the Java Chip, mmmmm!

Dove Ice Cream Miniatures conducted a survey of over 400 mothers and an astonishing 70 percent try to make sure they take time for themselves each day. Since this “me-time” is important to the Dove consumers the “My Mini Moment” contest is designed to celebrate these cherished moments for these special women.

I'll let you know what I get... Until next time..... Lorie
