This year, we’re so excited to be partnering up with Lucky Bloke, the ultimate condom subscription service that gives you access to monthly subscriptions or one-time purchases of a carefully researched and hand-selected assortment of premium condoms & personal lubricants.

Socially committed, 10% of Lucky Bloke’s sales go to to urgent humanitarian causes, and subscribers can choose which cause their share of sales supports. Current options include: charity: water, It Gets Better Project, and UNICEF.

Right now, for a limited time, you can apply to be part of Lucky Bloke’s groundbreaking global condom review initiative, Mission: Great Sex! Click here to apply, and if you’re selected you’ll receive free condoms in exchange for your honest & anonymous feedback. They’re in search of men and women, internationally, in every possible demographic to participate in testing and reviewing the world’s best condoms, and this initiative intends to be the most comprehensive condom review ever conducted.

Perfect for us BiSC-uits, huh? ;)

There will be lots more to come from Lucky Bloke over the next month, but we wanted to give you the chance to apply for Mission: Great Sex! right now, before it’s too late!

It’s no secret that we BiSC-uits just adore the lovely Molly over at Stratejoy. She’s one of the most inspiring, energetic, and brilliant women we know, and her work is no exception.

As a BiSC alum and a returning sponsor, and we’re so thrilled to tell you what she’s giving away in this year’s raffle: one lucky winner gets free registration for Molly’s Fierce Love Course, PLUS a free 60-minute coaching session with her! (Psst, that’s a $247 value!!)

THE FIERCE LOVE COURSE is a digital course for women who to want to cultivate a strong sense of self-worth, inner resilience, and delicious kindness.

Your journey to live life on your own terms demands a lot from you. You’ve got to be courageous. You need to stand up for your own desires in the face of others’ expectations. You must be dedicated to sharing your gifts and finding your voice in the world.

Sometimes, you’ve got to cut your losses and move on. To leave outgrown friendships, demand more from your work, and realize you’re deserving of true love. You may need to recommit to your health, your dreams, your creativity, your own happiness.

All of this? It starts with Fierce Love.

To enter this giveaway 1) make sure you’re following @stratejoy on Twitter, and 2) tweet about the giveaway using both #bisc and @stratejoy. Yep, that’s it!

The winner will be randomly selected on Wednesday 4.25, and remember, these raffle prizes are open to all bloggers, not just 2012 BiSC attendees!

{And our winner is… @jenbetweendots!}

“Introduce yourself! What are 5 things that everyone going to BiSC should know about you?”

1. While I am fiery and passionate, I am rarely argumentative. …Because I would rather be kind than “right.” [Even if I am right ;) ]

2. I am fairly certain that I was a Geisha in a past life…and announced this in the 4th grade to my class, while learning about Japan. (It does put Lucky Bloke in a better context though!)

This year, we’re partnering up with the talented design minds over at GelaSkins to bring customization & style to all of your digital devices!

Want a new skin or case for your phone? How about your laptop? Tablet? e-Reader? iPod? What about a gorgeous print? GelaSkins is the place to go. Since 2005, they’ve worked to curate a gallery of art by award-winning illustrators, old masters, up-and-coming artists and charitable organizations. A portion of each skin, case, or print sold goes directly to the creator, helping to support and promote independent artists everywhere.

Now that’s a mission we can get behind!

For this giveaway, one lucky winner will receive a $100 GelaSkins gift card! Amazing, right? To enter, make sure you’re following @gelaskins on Twitter and then just leave a comment on this post with a link to one or two of your favorite designs from GelaSkins.com. For an extra entry, you can tweet about this giveaway using the @gelaskins Twitter handle and the #BiSC hashtag (one tweet per person!).

The winner will be randomly selected on Wednesday 4.18, and remember, these raffle prizes are open to all bloggers, not just 2012 BiSC attendees!

{Update: And the winner is… @treavioli!}
