March New Concept 2023
Just a little recap for many who have forgotten.
How It Works
- It doesn’t matter what measurement the pattern or decant it solely counts as ONE win.
- To depend as a win the decant MUST be thunked. Yeah, I do know however that is how I’m enjoying it. You may have your individual guidelines if you happen to like.
- Multiples in a day are acceptable. So, if you happen to empty one thing within the morning, one other after work and one other earlier than mattress that counts as THREE wins.
- Producer Journey Dimension isn’t a pattern or decant.
- On the finish of every efficiently accomplished month I’m allowed to reward myself with a splurge from ONE fragrance retailer. Yeah that’s proper. Positive you should buy 20 issues if it makes you content but it surely must be ONE etailer or retailer in ONE TRANSACTION.
I’m going to have fun by giving freely a US$50 Reward Voucher to Surrender To Chance for each profitable month to 1 fortunate random commenter. Cool eh?
