Accessories Giveaway! BooJee Beads

I don't work in an office anymore (thank God!), but I know lots of my readers do. And I also know that lots of people work in companies that require their employees to hang their ID badges around their neck on lanyards, or at least pinned to their shirt. I've only ever really worked in one company that had ID badges; I hung it from a cheap lanyard issued to me along with the laminated photo ID.

I only worked at that company as a temp for about two months, otherwise I would have definitely sought out a more attractive option for such a pedestrian but necessary accessory. I've seen lots of good candidates, but these BooJee Beads take the award for Prettiest Lanyards. Check out this lovely and oh-so-elegant little number, the Icy White model:


These lanyards are so gorgeous, they're like jewelry for your ID. If you wear suits, they'll enhance the chic-professional look of your entire outfit, and if you wear scrubs, they'll upgrade your image from blah to beautiful. Plus, not only are they super-fashionable but affordable as well. They also come with two-way pockets so that you can insert your ID and start wearing them right away.

As a special treat to all my Beauty in Mahogany readers and to celebrate the re-launch of this blog, I'm giving away two prizes from the BooJee Beads collection:
  • The "Kim" lanyard, a funky-chic silvery chain that's one of the newest additions to the collection. This baby would make a fabulous addition to any outfit and will definitely turn some heads!
  • A Hammered Metal Reel Badge with colorful pink stones. This also comes with a two-way pocket ID that can be used either vertically or horizontally. If you don't have an ID badge, this would make an eye-catching accessory for your keychain.

Like what you see so far? So enter now, because this contest ends at 5pm Mountain Time on Wednesday, July 30th. Only one prize per winner, so in this contest, there will obviously be two winners. To enter, take careful note of the following rules:
  • Submit a comment to this post telling me your favorite "career film" of all time. The examples are endless: The Devil Wears Prada, Working Girl, Broadcast News, even that old classic His Girl Friday. As long as the plotline revolves primarily around the heroine's adventures at work, it counts!
  • Make sure that you also tell me which prize you want to win in your comment.
  • Only one entry per person is allowed. Multiple entries will be disqualified.
  • Two winners will be announced, and each will receive one prize.
  • You must leave basic contact information when you post your comment. Blogger can link to your blog or site if you submit that information when you comment, but otherwise you'll need to leave an email address or URL in the body of your message.
  • You don't have to be a resident of the United States to enter, but you will be responsible for any customs duties should they be levied during delivery by your country's port authorities.
  • Deadline for all entries must be received by 5pm Mountain time, Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Any entries posted after this will not be eligible.
  • Winners must respond to the email notifying them of their prize within 7 calendar days after the announcement, or they will forfeit the prize.
Remember to please follow the instructions, or your entry will be disqualified. The winners will be announced on Thursday, July 31st, after a random drawing.

So enter now, and good luck! And thanks for visiting Beauty in Mahogany!

I would have to say Coffy, "Coffy," (1973). A nurse by day who turns into a vigilante at night.

The Kim Lanyard is the prize I would like. My favorite career movie of all time is Nine to Five.

Fangirl Jen said...

"Working Girl". I love the way that she rises to the top, and of all things actually takes on another career woman. Cool.

lol, mine is Working Girl too. I just love Melanie in that film.

Erin Brokovich was an inspirational film for me growing up about how not to care too much about what people think, you can do anything if you just work hard enough. I love the Kim lanyard, thank you!

I prefer the badge. Am I the first to select 'Fargo'? Great feminism and a wonderful example of a working woman.

My sarcastic selection would be Mira Sorvino in MIghty Aphrodite but I don't think that's the kind of career woman you want to celebrate.

Kari said...

I like Fargo too!! And the Kim lanyard is my favorite.

Nine To Five

There's always room for a great working woman such as the gal protrayed in the 60's movie, "Debbie Does Dallas."

Erin Brokovich. She rocks.

jennem said...

The Reel Badge. And "THe Cutting Edge." Hey, the heroine is an ice skater, but it's still her work, so it's a career!

Sunnyvale said...

Working Girl, it was delightful.

"Norma Rae" 1979 OMG that was the first empowering movie I saw. I was young and a rebel and this movie showed me that women can do something about anything if they are passionate about it. Greatest Sally Field movie ever.

mogrill said...

Well I would say Pretty Woman although it isnt a career I would recommend. LOL!

Unknown said...

My all-time favorite "career woman film" is "Laura" (1944)

Hi there! This is a great giveaway and it gave me a chance to really think back and try to remember all the movies that I know I have seen and loved because of someone in the film who inspired and motivated me to follow my passions and dreams. Many of my choices have already been posted here, so let's mention another one that has not been posted yet. How about SILKWOOD from 1983 that starred Meryl Streep. This movie was based on the true story of a young woman, an employee in a nuclear processing plant, who mysteriously dies in an accident just before she is going to talk to a reporter about a safety problem. It was made a long time ago, but my mother has it in her library and I actually just saw it a few years ago! It is was a gripping story! Thank you for offering this amazing giveaway and giving us a chance to share our opinions!
