Giveaway From Makeup Diary

Hey guys! so this week there is a giveaway that anyone can enter in! It is by http://www.makeupdiary.org and you can all receive great gifts (if you're the winner of course!) Try and enter the giveaway and see if you win! :)


Hello ladies!  If you've been following me on Twitter, you would know that I have been putting together a giveaway for a few weeks now.  I wanted to try and incorporate different brands this time from the items that were in my last giveaway to keep things fresh, but I also wanted to keep the products interesting for you all.

I spent many days trying to decide at what follower count or special event to introduce this...  but to be honest, I've been lingering around the 1300 follower for a few days now and it seems like such an odd number to celebrate (I know, I know) and I didn't want to wait any longer since I'm actually planning to do another giveaway next month for my birthday.  Plus, aren't "just because" gifts the best?  To make this extra special, I decided to have three winners for this one.

** As always, this giveaway IS open internationally so everyone is welcome (and encouraged) to enter! **






Just some other photos to entice you. ;)
Click to enlarge.


I included non-sale prices to give you an idea of the items' value.
I put "$200 value" on my image, but clearly it is way more.
Gotta' love sales and promos!

ALL items are BNIB and have never been opened/used.

"It's the simple things in life that you really learn to appreciate"






I know I'm late, but I actually wore this outfit yesterday. It was my boyfriend's dad's birthday so we just had a small get together with his family. It was really nice to relax and have some time to hang out with his family. After that we both just hung out with a few of our friends. I hope you like the outfit :) Let  me know what you think!

"Work hard and you will receive your rewards"


So here's a quick post of my outfit before I head out to work. These are the pants that I usually wear for work, but the shirt and shoes I wear are completely different. It just goes to show that you can use any piece of any item and make it a great outfit! Let me know what you think!

"Everyone else is temporary, but family is forever"


Hello everyone! It was my mother's birthday today so my sister and i decided to take her out for a massage. It felt so good to pamper her and ourselves also. Throughout all the stress of work along with other things you forget about all the small things in life and the things that are important for you. It was nice to be able to do something with both of them and forget a little about everything else. Anyway here's my outfit post for the day. It's pretty simple since I only had about 15 minutes to get ready. Let me know what you think!

"Love makes the world a much less scarier place"





So I've been attempting to start posting on my blog ever since I started it, but it was so hard trying to keep up with posting pictures along with working and going to school. I really give kudos to all the bloggers out there because it is a lot to keep up with. Anyway yesterday I went to Temecula with my boyfriend for our 4 year anniversary. I can't believe it's been 4 years already! It seems like it hasn't been that long, which is good because that way we both know we're having fun in our relationship. He's such an amazing person and everyday I appreciate having him there to experience this crazy thing called life. Anyway, enough of that lol. Today we went to a local restaurant overlooking a duck pond for dinner and I decided to ask him to take a few pictures of me (since I haven't taken any!! sorry). I hope you all like them and let me know what you think. I will try very hard to keep my blog up to date!
