Giveaway: Be My Clementine

I’m not a good cook. I felt like I’ve tried (my hubby would argue against that), but just cannot get it down pat. I don’t know if it is a fear of getting hurt or just a lack of understanding of all things culinary (my mother never cooked either so I didn’t grow up in a kitchen), but I’m pretty terrible. I plan on continuing to make attempts, as I’d like to be able to cook something for our future children, but I digress.

Something I am good at is baking. I really enjoy it and find it to be therapeutic, especially while done listening to amazing music and sipping on good wine. It also makes me feel very girly and domestic for some reason, and every now and then, I like that. And for those fun baking-related therapy sessions of one, cute protective wear is needed. Cue Be My Clementine!

Dexter is back on the kill!

The last minutes of Dexter‘s season finale was definitely one of the most shocking moments on television that has had fans thinking ever since. How will Dexter go on with such overwhelming guilt? What will happen to his seemingly “perfect” family: the perfect cover for his extracurricular activities? Will anyone finally discover his dark passenger?

It has definitely been a torturous wait for all us Dexter fans, but my great friends at Showtime have come to soothe over the pain with news that Dexter will be back with a new season starting September 26th! They have also come bearing gifts: one being the brand new key art featured above and a fun giveaway for all my readers!

The giveaway is for a Dexter Season 5 poster and it could be all yours by doing the following:

Please comment to this post with what you are looking forward to the most in this new season of Dexter.
