Got this email from livingwell.ca today:
Due to the overwhelming response to our July AVEENO® Skin Relief Body Wash trial offer, the LIVING WELL website was rendered temporarily unavailable on July 20, 2010.
Please accept our apology; we are sorry for any inconvenience and frustration this may have caused you.
To make it up to you, we’ll be featuring another 10,000 trials of AVEENO® Skin Relief Body Wash on Thursday August 12th. Our trial will go live between 12pm-3pm EDT. Supplies are limited, so click here to get yours.
The LIVING WELL team cares about your experience and will continue to ensure that you are the first to know about our upcoming trial offers, expert articles, contests, coupons and promotions.
We thank you for being a LIVING WELL member and value your continued support.
Sincerely,
I’m glad they’re doing this freebie again as I was in the hospital the first time around. Now I actually have a chance to grab this freebie. Also, don’t you think it’s great they say what time the offer will be live? No more refreshing the livingwell.ca page every 5 minutes to see if the offer is up! They are also offering 10000 samples this time instead of the usual 4000.
Thanks to cora888 for also posting this freebie in the forum.
**Bumped because today’s the day!
I was lucky enough to get a sample the first time around and it arrived in the mail in less than a week! I will not be re-ordering another one even though the stuff is amazing and I hope that the other 3,999 people who were lucky enough to get a sample the first time will do the same 🙂
I got one as well but got this email too. Came really quick as well.
I too got one the first time, so I hope those that didn’t get it will be able to get one. I won’t reorder as well, its only fair. 🙂
I agree, havent received my sample yet, so if i don t get mine by Thurs. ill have to try again. i wish they would state what time the site will be live all the time, soo much easier in my opinion.
12:37 in Kitchener, not up yet!! 🙁
@ Kathy … the message said “Thursday August 12th. Our trial will go live between 12pm-3pm EDT”, so it’s not up yet 🙂 I assume EDT is Eastern Daylight Time, which mean that will be 12PM Ontario time.
Woop woop!!!! Today’s the day!
I did not get in last time, so I hope we westerners have a chance at this too. This is the last hand lotion that we SC’ers get coupons for and I have yet to try. By the sounds of it I will not be disappointed.
I hope I get it this time around! with 2 kids having eczema and sensitive skin I could really use it! We have the lotion but not this body wash. Here’s hoping I wake up on time :S
I hope to get this too because it would be perfect for when I travel. I’ve been using the Aveeno body wash for some time now, and it’s incredible how soft it leaves you skin all day.
Oh boy, I really hope I get in on this deal! I frequently suffer from scaly skin, and being one who takes to the water so often, I know this Aveeno product will soothe this problem, which seems to run in my family. It’s a condition I’ve had to live with all my life, with relatively soft skin on my belly, but rather coarse, rough back. It’s rather embarrassing at times, and often when I find myself at a pool, I’m reluctant go in, based on the fact that people have even gone so far as to point and scream when they see my condition. Granted, I’m a crocodile, but I can’t help but feel I’m being judged because I don’t have soft, luminescent skin like the celebrities I see on television. I may not be persecuted to the same extent as that guy in the Dennis Lee poem, but I’ve had my share of prejudgments. Kudos to Elton John for the shout-out, but that was short-lived. A free sample will make it all better though. I can feel cool Aveeno being massaged into my webbed feet as we speak!
Olive, if you’re skin is that bad, you might want to purchase some Aveno instead of waiting for the mini trial sized container you will receive in two weeks!
What a croc!
That was very funny Olive!!
Comp won’t let me get to the page to see if it’s live!
Did any one else read it that it will go live BETWEEN 12 and 3. Not at 12 until 3?
Me neither! Looks like they’re getting a lot of hits!
GAH! I’m getting a dead page. 🙁
Yes RW, I did notice that, but I had thought the phrasing of the time implied that they couldn’t guarantee they would have enough supplies to last until 3, not that they would be finicky on the start time.
It’s still the Nicorette inhaler when it loads!
But most of the time, it doesn’t let me see the page too!
The few times the page did load, it is still the Nicorette offer.
It won’t load the page and then when it does it goes back to the Nicorette sample page
Good! So we’re still safe!:-)
And I forgot to mention earlier, I LOL’d at Olive’s comment!!
The site isn’t working – it’s either timing out or the offer isn’t showing up at all! This is frustrating.
Page will not load or the old offer comes up or they say all gone . Good luck I think we will need it again.
I still see the Nicorette Inhaler..
wow what a surprise, the website doesn’t work yet again.
has anyone gotten through yet?
page is not refreshing..
Initially I got nothing, then at 9:01 I got a message saying all 4,000 samples had already been given out. I kept trying and got nothing, but just now got another message saying all 4,00 had been claimed.
BTW I’m in BC which is why it’s only 9:00 in the morning. I know this is popular, but what are the chances all 4,000 were gone in the first minute?
site is still having issues
its supposed to be 10,000
When it does load it is still showing the old trial offer thing
the 4,000 is still from the Nicorette Inhaler.
I ordered one aveeno sample the last time, but it never came to my mailbox. And now, the site is dead again. 🙁
I could really use that Nicorette Inhaler right about now.. (Smoke free home :-P) It’s just teasing me … making me crave!
12:35pm Southern Ontario….Site is still not up & working. Still showing the Nicorette Inhaler. 🙁
im getting the nicorette inhaler pg too
I better not go smoke, it show up and you all steal the 10,000!
Leave me one, eh guys! 😛
Been trying and this promo is not coming up at all. I am getting Nicorette gum free promo that has run-out… OH Well!
lol! it sayes anytime from 12-3
so that means it might not go live until 2 …
It says that the aveeno promotion is already done since 13:24 Atlantic time…
ops…my page had not loaded properly…it was still the nicorette, as Sally above mentioned…there is still hope yet
Or 2:59! lol
looks like it’s not so great that they gave a window, as it certainly didn’t avoid tons of refreshing.
probably they gave themselves 3 hours to fix the server overload when everyone visits to get the promo!!! here’s hoping they can do it (you’d think they’d be better prepared after last time)!
it is thursday august 12th at 12:40pm and I have been trying since noon to get on the website for the free offer of aveeno body wash and all that comes up is the expired nicorette inhaler offer?
if there is a problem with the website will this product be offered again in the next few days.
I use the aveeno sunblock lotion and love it because of the high spf level(spf 55)
I take a variety of meds that have made my legs so flaky and dry that my clothes and bed linens are covered with dry, dead skin unless I use my aveeno moisturizing lotion, daily.
I was looking forward to trying the shower wash as well.
Hope you resolve website problem before 3pm
and to think I was worried that i missed out when I tried logging onto the site at ten after. LoL Here we are an hour later and still no Aveeno body wash
11:17 Sask time and nothing I run out to the garden and run back in try nothing wow got my work cut out for me today .have fun all

They still have ONE HOUR! 😛
Oh geez! Here we go again! Still getting the Nicorette offer!

Linn, higher SPF is just a marketing gimmick. You should seriously do some research before spending your money!
