must have monday and giveaway {10.}...

It is Monday again, my friends. This means back to the office for another five day work week. It also means it is time for me to lust after some items that I need in my life. Or in this case, time for me to do a little shameless self promotion for my Mama's Etsy shoppe! Which just so happens to have some new items in it...made by yours truly! So, here is a little looksie into the new items..

Since I did indulge in some shameless self promotion, I figured I would make it up to you all with my very first giveaway! I am SO excited and I really cannot believe I have never done one before. So here is the deal, I want to surprise the winner with a custom made creation...and some other little surprise goodies! So, in order to enter this giveaway I want you to leave a comment with your favorite colors/color combo, and how you would describe your personal style, that way the hair accessory can be a surprise, but also something that you will LOVE. For additional entries you can tweet about this giveaway, then comment again with the link! You can also blog about this giveaway, then comment with the link to your post! That gives you all a total of three entries! The winner will be announced next 'Must Have Monday'. You have until 8 pm (west coast time) next Saturday (2/19/11) to enter!

May the odds be ever in your favor! Oh...Happy Valentine's Day m'dears!

that one time i won a giveaway...

I am an awful blogger sometimes. Ever since I joined the real world and got a big girl job my blog has fallen by the wayside. I am trying to fix that little problem, because I really do love this blog. Back to the point, forever ago (9-22-10, to be exact) I won a lovely giveaway from an overseas blog pal. She is darling and I adore her. Make sure to check out her blog here. Here are some pictures of what was in the secret package that Mar mailed to me. Thanks girl! I really did love it...and I am thinking I need to place an order for some of that spectacular candy you placed in the box!

1- Oooh I was so excited. I love that Mar wrapped every little treasure and wrote cute messages on the paper.

2- An adorable little Moose friend. I am pretty sure Bug jacked this from me right as I opened it.

3-Cute wrapping and a little message.

4- How precious are those little animal tea bags?!

5- Hootie owl earrings! I love them and I wear them all the time.

6- A hilarious sticker, and a moose magnet!

7- Mar must know all about the love affair I have with sunglasses.

8- More cute wrapping.

9- Precious Parisian themed pins.

10- Look at all the goodies!

Yay for giveaways! Thanks Mar, I loved the gifts so, so much. Sorry it took me SO long to blog about it! Now I am thinking it is about time I hosted a giveaway of my very own. What say ye blog pals?

i am a mother of three...

Were you all aware that I am a mother? Some of you who have been reading my blog since it's birth may know this fact. For those of you who do not, click here and read about my children. A new addition was recently brought into my happy family.

I introduce you all to Juicy Couture, the youngest sibling of Versace and Jimmy Choo. Basically, I am a sunglasses whore. I love them so bad. Child number three was gifted to me as an early birthday present by Jeffrey. He basically is legit for purchasing these lovelies for me. Here are the reasons why I l.o.v.e. these bad boys...

{1.} They came with the cutest case. I am a BIG believer in keeping my children safe; which is why all of them go from face to case. No ifs, ands, or buts about it!

{2.} Were you all aware that I have an obsession with peace signs that goes back to the age of 12? I am all about rocking the peace signs...it sort of saddens me that they are trendy nowadays, but I still adore them.

{3.} They look all kinds of fabulous. They are ginormous (which is a must when it comes to the shades I rock), the lens is tinted purple which I pretty much love. They are designer...yep, told you I was a label whore.

{4.} They were a gift, and that is straight up legit. Jeff, you basically are an awesome gift giver. Word.

Please, welcome little J.C. to the family. I am already contemplating my next adoption. I am leaning towards a pair with the name of Prada.

Do you love them? Hate them? Do you have a sunglass fetish? What is an item you will ALWAYS splurge on? Please, share! Oh, and Bff Jil...I am awaiting (not so patiently) your guest post introducing my little nieces and nephews.

got a package...

Have I mentioned how much I adore all of my bloggy friends? Yes? Well I am going to say it again! I freaking adore all of you! I got a fabulous gift from the lovely Ivy in the mail today. I promised when I got her gift I would open it via vlog...so I kept my word and did so! Which leads to today's vlog of me in all my 'going to the gym' glory. Thank you Ivy! I cannot wait to put all of your fabulous gifts to good use! I heart you big time! Enjoy folks...
