Come Get A Full Makeover, Do Some Blogging, Grab Some Coffee & More!

I've talked about the fact that I will not be posting large giveaways on my blog anymore. This may change in the future, but for now, this is the decision I've made. I still have sponsors though, and I still wanted to offer a way for you to get to know them. These are some of the sweetest women and I encourage you to check out their blogs.
From now on, I will be featuring my sponsors and bringing you prize packs from them that center around who they are as bloggers and what they love! If you love the same things, go say "Hi", become friends, and enter to win their gifts. If you don't connect with them, that's fine! You can just create relationships with the bloggers you choose to. I love this because it doesn't force you to follow 900 blogs...rather it presents you with new friends and leaves the rest up to you.
So here are thirteen lovely ladies that I would love for you to meet!

Full Makeover

Kelly is a beach girl living in Southern California with a passion for fashion. She writes over at MessyDirtyHair where  she likes to inspire women to embrace their imperfections and empowers them to love themselves in their natural skin, which is why you may always see her hash tagging Embrace the Mess. Kelly also runs a very successful fashion project monthly called The Messy Project which is about all women coming together, stepping outside of their skin & challenging themselves with an item of clothing. I was honestly afraid to talk to Kelly for the longest time. She was a much "bigger blogger" than me. I finally emailed her one day and we have been bloggy-biffles ever since. I am so impressed with Kelly's creativity and I love that she is so transparent and honest. Because Kelly is known for her messy, dirty, hair today she is giving away a custom made Mila Rose Fluff Headband for your messy & dirty hair. 
Kristin is a newlywed married to Kyle, living out their dreams in southern California. She enjoys going to King's games with her husband, nights at home with their chihuahua Frappy, and spending time with friends and family. She loves to pamper herself when able, which includes lots of at home manicures. Kristin and I are basically twins in the fact that we are huge fur mamas! I am sure that Marcy and Frappy would love each other at first sight. I also give her mad props for doing insanity....because, well, it is insane. She is such a sweetheart and I am so happy to have met her in blogland. Because Kristin loves to pamper herself by painting her pointers, she is excited to give one of you 4 nail polishes, remover pads, and 2 nail files!

Jennifer is a twenty-something girly girl living in South Carolina. She is currently planning her dream wedding to her "mint to be." In addition to all things wedding, Jennifer is currently loving shopping, decorating her apartment, and DIY projects. You can find all of the above and more over at her blog!  I became obsessed with Jennifer after merely reading her blog title. If you haven't figured it out, I am obsessed with mint. I also have a thing for New Jersey - since that is where both her and my husband are from! I am hoping that we can be real life biffles if I get the chance to move to the Carolinas after this year. She is such a sweetheart and I am so excited to follow along as she plans her wedding! Her love of fashion and shopping is why she is giving away a $25 Kate Spade gift card.
Anissa is a new blogger from Anchorage Alaska, who is a huge beauty fanatic! She loves all things beauty and fashion and is here to keep you updated on the latest trends. I love that you can find everything from makeup to stylish clothing on her blog and she is such a sweetheart! One of her favorite stores to splurge at is Sephora, so she will be giving one lucky reader a $25 Sephora gift card!

These ladies are giving you a Mila Rose fluff headband, a full manicure set, $25 Kate Spade gift card & a $25 Sephora gift card - everything you need for a full makeover!Just use the Rafflecopter below to enter! a Rafflecopter giveaway

Relaxing Night In

Sybil is a wife, mother, and follower of Christ. Her blog centers around her family and her faith, and how she searches for peace and balance in her everyday life. Sybil's passion is to share encouragement with and inspire others. Like I have said, many times before, Sybil is like my adopted blog mom. I love reading her stories and seeing all of her wisdom. She is a huge encourager and frequently sends me "virtual hugs" when maybe I am down and out. As a busy mom of three, Sybil understands the importance of taking time to pamper herself, and thinks you should too. That is why she is going to give away all you need for an in-home pedicure. The best part...you get to choose the colors and scents of your choice!Tara is a newlywed, navigating her way throughout her new life abroad. Home is now in the England with her husband, and if that isn't enough, throw a new job in the mix and you'll understand why relaxation is needed. Although life can get a little hectic, Tara makes it a goal to find the blessings hidden within everyday and enjoys the adventures that life holds. She started blogging to keep her friends and family back at home in the loop and now she sees it as a platform to show her love for life and her Lord. If you've ever stopped by her corner, chances are you'll also spot her love for coffee. She is one of my newest favorite bloggers and we have so much in common! We actually both grew up in Florida! She's giving away some English treats including a good read, a coffee mug and some bath goodies, clearly the best combo for a relaxing night in.
Jennifer is a busy wife and mom of two little ones.  She works part time with her husband and plays the role as part time stay at home mom as well.  She is a neat freak, loves to bake and gets excited to try new recipes.  Jennifer also loves working out and is running her first half marathon in June. I instantly fell in love with Jennifer when she emailed me about starting our series Preparing For A Little One. I have enjoyed getting to know her more over the past month and really seeing her heart as a dedicated wife and mother. Because of her passion for her family she is giving away a Red Box gift card and movie snacks for a fun night in!

These ladies are giving you a full pedicure set, a good read, some coffee, bath goodies, Red Box rentals and movie snacks to create the ultimate relaxing night in!

Improve Your...

::body:: Amanda is a newlywed blogger transplanted from Chicago to Oklahoma. Along with funny marriage stories, she also blogs about new recipes, DIY projects, and fitness. She recently completed her first full marathon and loves meeting other bloggers who share her passion for running. Amanda shares the fact that we came from Chicago! Almost all of my family is still there. I am so envious of her ability to run (I was planning to start to learn and then I found out I was pregnant). She is hilarious - my favorite line from her about me page: "Currently unemployed and living off my sense of humor". As part of her interest in maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle, she is giving away two at-home fitness DVDs from famous reality TV trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper. This prize is the jam....




::wife skills:: Brandi is a wife and mama to a beautiful one year old girl. Dance parties, books, and trips to the beach occupy her free time. She loves to spend time in the kitchen and create wonderful meals for her family. Brandi is one of the first bloggers I ever became friends with and she is extremely kind and hilarious. If you ever get the chance to video chat her, DO!!! Because of her goal to improve her culinary prowess, she is excited to give one of you a Whole Foods gift card and an apron!




::home:: Kelly is a newly married, social media addicted, country music loving, picture taking, craft attempting, all things pink, girly girl. She loves meeting new people but has a tendency to be a little shy. She blogs about her life as a new wife, her journey through losing weight, getting lost in amazing books, being an auntie to her adorable niece and nephew, her attempts {and most of the time successes} at being crafty, and making memories with friends - sharing the pictures she take along the way. I love her posts about her husband and I think it is so cute they have known each other since before their senior year of high school! Because of new successful attempts at being crafty, she is giving away a personalized monogrammed plaque!
These ladies are giving you two at-home fitness DVDs from famous reality TV trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper, a Whole Foods gift card, an apron and a personalized monogrammed plaque so you can work on "improving" multiple areas of you life (:

Coffee & Blogging

Jennifer is a newlywed and a graduate student working on her masters in occupational therapy! She loves finding cute towns to visit with her husband, has a major coffee addiction, could spend hours reading a good book, loves anything crafty and has recently become obsessed with Project Life. Her blog may be small, but she loves connecting with new readers, helping out new bloggers, and works hard to build a friendship with her readers. I love that she has a strange obsession with pickles (just like me!). I also think it is so sweet and adorable that she has known and dated her now husband, since high school. She combined her love of books and blogging and is giving away two books, Blog Inc. and Blogging For Creatives.
Lauren is a twenty something girl from the south.  She loves all things girlie and cute. She is also a wife and a mom of 2 (under 2) and works full time in healthcare.  A lot of days she feels like her life is pure chaos, which is why she LOVES all things related to organization.  Her husband makes fun of her for her love of planners, calendars, and budgeting money (weird, right?).  Her blog pretty much covers a little bit of everything and I love it!  Her family seems to be just as obsessed with football as we are. I adore her funny sense of humor and the way she writes so down-to-earth on her blog. Because of her love of all things related to organization, she chose to giveaway a super cute fabric notebook organizer in a chevron (her favorite) print!


Neely is a 29 year old Dallas native with a love of blogging, social media and Starbucks. You can usually find her with the latest reality TV obsession, a new book or trying to work on her book. She has a fabulous boyfriend named A and loves to spend time working out, browsing pinterest and sitting on patios with friends. I love that she has her own successful business and that she loves to help other bloggers out. Because of her love of Starbucks she is giving away a fabulous Starbucks Tumbler and a $10 gift card to Starbucks!

These ladies are giving you two Blogging books: Blog Inc. and Blogging For Creatives, a chevron notebook organizer, a Starbucks tumbler and a $10 Starbucks gift card so that you can spend some time relaxing a blogging.
