AXE Power Anthem Flip Cam Contest

Comments 78 by Rebecca Bollwitt

The makers of AXE have offered up a special contest for my reader surrounding their Power Anthem campaign. The idea is that no matter what kind of mess you get into or what goes down, AXE can fix you up.

AXE Flip Cam Contest

The focus is on the replenishment and revival of hitting the shower first thing in the morning to start your day with a nice clean slate — regardless of what may have unraveled the night before. In life everyone has their rough patches or just those conversations, actions, or nights of partying they’d like to forget. It’s Eric Qualman’s social media revolution video that states “Whatever happens in Vegas stay on YouTube… Flickr… Facebook…” Thing is, these experiences help us grow. They might have knocked us down but that just gives us the chance to get back up and start fresh and be all the wiser.

In order to share experiences (and clean up a little bit) AXE is offering a range of products (shower gel, body spray) to one of my readers through a contest as well as a Flip MinoHD video camera. This way the winner can record and share their experiences with the cam — expressing who they are, sharing their experiences, and even using that delete button if need be.

AXE Flip Cam Contest

To enter to win the AXE gift pack, including the Flip MinoHD video camera and AXE products, leave a comment below with your own Power Anthem. This can be a turning point in your life (good or bad) that was either just an amazing event to remember or something that really helped shape you as a person. I’ll even accept a mantra or personal motto that keeps you going.

Please use 100 words or less and I’ll draw a winner from the entries on Monday, June 7th.

Update I just drew the winner and it’s Katherine – thank you to everyone for sharing.

Disclosure: I am not paid to publish or endorse contests. I did receive a Flip MinoHD to keep. Estimated prize value $175 in total.

    The day my first child was born was the day I realized I was actually an ADULT and that it wasn’t “all about me” anymore.

  2. Shaun Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 — 2:41pm PDT

    Acting like an adult is highly over rated!!!

    Don’t look to the past with regret
    Don’t look to the future with fear
    Look around you with awareness (And film it!)

    After overcoming a health crisis, I have clarity as to who and what is important for my life. “Taking control of my circle”

    All my life I have learned that if you can laugh at yourself no matter how dire the circumstance, you will be able to deal with anything.

    If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up!

    This gets me going on those slow days when all I can think of is how warm the bed is….

  17. Ann Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 — 8:27pm PDT

    I can be anything I want to be.

  18. rob Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 — 9:08pm PDT

    Just keep going.

  20. Richard Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 — 9:46pm PDT

    “When I grow up I want to be just like you”! I’ll be saying this to amazing people I meet even if I live to be 100 years old.

  21. Sinful Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 — 9:49pm PDT

    Don’t stress/worry too much…you just don’t know what tomorrow will bring or where you’ll be 1 year from now. Your life could totally change and you can make almost anything happen.

  22. pete Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 — 11:37pm PDT

    don’t worry, be happy.

  23. rose Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 — 11:39pm PDT

    Don’t sweat the little things.

    Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him up.

  25. Ying Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 — 11:49pm PDT

    Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.

  26. alo Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 — 11:54pm PDT

    It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.

  27. PCKL Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 12:01am PDT

    You see things; and you say ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say ‘Why not?’

  28. Pet Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 12:05am PDT

    You have to see every potential roadblock as an opportunity and a benefit.

  29. aria Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 12:09am PDT

    Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

    you can’t hold your breath forever, sooner or later everybody has to learn how to swim with the big fish. Or be unique – learn how to scuba dive and watch the rest of the world tread water above you.

    every night is a party in my head, and I always know the DJ!

    My power anthem, as of yesterday:
    “Now some guys they just give up living
    and start dying little by little piece by piece.
    Some guys come home from work and wash up
    And go racing in the streets.”
    —Bruce Springsteen

  38. Paul Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 11:09am PDT

    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift

    The more faithfully you listen to the voice within you
    the better you will hear what is sounding outside.

    Those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.

    It is what it is.

    Let it go.

  43. kevin Lockett Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 11:55am PDT

    Either you make thing happen or watch things happen. Which one are you?

  44. Agasel Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 12:00pm PDT

    Why stay stuck in the past? Just move forward.

  45. Cameron Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 12:07pm PDT

    No decision today can change what happened yesterday.

  46. Fawn Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 1:45pm PDT

    Don’t give up on things if they don’t come easy.

  47. Sherry Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 2:33pm PDT

    Danger is my middle name.

  48. Lyndsey Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 2:37pm PDT

    As someone who use to be a bit of a perfectionist and way to hard on myself, my mother taught me to: “Not worry about the things that I cannot change” because, sometimes you have to let things fall as they may. If I take one step at a time, I can deal with those challenges and cross those proverbial bridges when I get there.

    Great peace of advice, and mom never let’s me down. She is truly “the wind beneath my wings”.

    “Never be a could’ve, should’ve and would’ve; Strong Confidence = Solid Choices”

  52. acey Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 6:23pm PDT

    I was not happy on my 40th birthday. I had that feeling of “where the hell did the time go”. I will never forget what my significant other said to change my outlook, and I’ve remembered it every birthday since. He said to me, “Be happy you’re 40, it’s better than the alternative”.

    How true! I could be six feet under!

  53. maria Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 8:10pm PDT

    My time is now. I just bought a new condo and it’s been hard transitioning into an adult and getting used to paying bills, budgeting, not to mention the good old strata!

  54. angela Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 8:47pm PDT

    Becoming a single mom of 2 kids. We didn’t plan for it to happen like that…but i had to pick up the pieces and raise my little family.

  55. Mike Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 — 10:26pm PDT

    This too shall pass.

    Remember, a picture or video can’t tell if you smell. But the people around you can.

  57. Mylyne Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 — 10:49am PDT

    Always remember to count your blessings. And when you’re really down and out, get up, fix up yourself, then look at the mirror and say. “I am worthy!”

  58. Janice Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 — 11:38am PDT

    Focus on health and love.

  59. Katherine Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 — 11:57am PDT

    It’s a bit cheesy but I live by the motto “live, love, laugh”. After a few years of being stuck in a rut, I took a huge chance, moved abroad and came back a much happier person. I lived in a new culture, found love there and laughed more than I can remember! My other motto is: Boredom is a choice

  60. Krstina Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 — 1:32pm PDT

    If you can dream it, you can do it. Sometimes we ave to modify our dreams but that doesn’t make the feeling when you accomplish them any less satisfying.

  61. Tina Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 — 3:03pm PDT

    Don’t try to be nice, or liked or concern yourself with what others are thinking just speak your truth as it is and be honest with yourself

  62. Dee Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 — 6:30pm PDT

    “Be the change.”

    “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

    I think it’s important to remember to continue to enjoy your life and have fun, no matter what age you are. Play is important for everyone.

  69. Lynne Friday, June 4th, 2010 — 11:43am PDT

    They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

    I always treat my loved ones with this is mind and this become even more personal recently when one of my best friend left Van for good.
