Dads, here’s your chance to win a Clarisonic Skin Care System.

Here’s the down low on our Father’s Day Giveaway prize:

Clarisonic Skin Care recognizes that men are just as discerning about their grooming products as women are. Created by the inventor of the Sonicare toothbrush, the Clarisonic uses sonic technology and works with the skin’s natural elasticity to unclog pores for deeper cleansing without stripping the skin. Using the Clarisonic prior to shaving will open pores and give your man the closest shave of his life. The launch of their men’s Graphite Gray Clarisonic for Father’s Day in 2008 was so successful that they made it a permanent part of the line. Tinseltown A-listers like Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman and Justin Timberlake have also made Clarisonic part of their grooming routine.

CLARISONIC Skin Care System is the first sonic oscillation face brush that deeply cleanses, stimulates and clarifies the skin. Using any nonabrasive facial cleanser, CLARISONIC works to cleanse skin more thoroughly than manual washing. With its easy usage and waterproof design, no additional time is added to the beauty regimen and it can safely be used in the shower.

Entry is easy – just leave a comment below and let us know who you’d love to win this great gadget for his bathroom.  (Yes, of course you can enter for yourself!) Be sure to use a legitimate email since that’s how we’ll contact you for the winner’s information.

Entries are open until noon EST on  June 19th.  We will accept one entry per household.  Winners will be chosen at random.

Disclosure: Sparkplugging has not received payment of any kind to offer this giveaway.

To see how much money I raised for the Prostate Cancer Foundation, as well as a few pictures of how my participation progressed, be sure to check out the Movember recap over on my personal blog.

While you are over there, be sure to stop by and enter the Movember contest to win some really cool schwag courtesy of Canadian Club Whisky.

When I started my involvement with Movember, I did not personally know anyone that had been impacted by prostate cancer but still felt it was an extremely worthwhile cause and wanted to do my part to help raise awareness.

In case you do not know, prostate cancer is one of the top 5 health concerns for every man and it is important to catch as early as possible with regular exams, which unfortunately many men don’t do.

Since that time, I have learned that the father of a longtime friend is a survivor of prostate cancer and my friend was quite appreciative of my participation with this good cause.

For all my fellow Mo Bros and Mo Sistas that participated in Movember this year, I would like to also my thanks to you for your support and participation.

With the gas prices coming down in recent weeks, I thought now would be a great time to try and give away enough to get you a full tank of gas! In lieu of the t-shirt and water bottle, we are stepping it up a notch and giving away a total of $200 in BP gift cards!

Being a member of the BP Invigorate Insider program has been an outstanding experience for me and now I get to share part of that with you, as BP has been gracious enough to provide me with more gift cards to give away.

Carol commented that she had just created a new book about traditions as part of the Cherish Bound product suite. The book, Traditions: Simply Capturing Your Traditions, is a handy journal that offers you a place to record memories and memorabilia for 13 traditions.

Capturing Your Traditions

The book is organized with the intent to capture not only your traditions but the memories created as part of those traditions.

There are 13 blank journal pages waiting for you to record your traditions. The left side of the page is intended for special memories of your tradition. That could be anything from a photo of you carving pumpkins with your kids, a ticket stub from the annual play at school, or anything else that captures the memory of your special activity.

The right side of the page is where you have the opportunity to answer a few questions and reflect on the meaning of your tradition. There are a few questions to help get you started on your journal entry, including:

• Did things go as planned or did something unexpected happen?
• What was each person’s favorite part of the activity?
• What were some fun memories or thoughts shared during the experience?

Create An Annual Book Of Memories

This book is well suited to be used as an annual book of your special memories. By taking the time to record your traditions in words and pictures, you will have something to pass down through your family to remember forever.

As time passes by, you will cherish the ability to sit down and page through your old books to recall past memories and traditions. It might be fun to create a new tradition where you close each year’s journal of memories with a recap of the year and predictions for what the coming year will bring.

More From Cherish Bound

In addition to Traditions: Simply Capturing Your Traditions, Cherish Bound has many other books and products that can help you create and record the special memories of your life.
