Bl0g birthday*

Hellu,

Tomorrow is the big day- my blog will officially be ONE YEAR OLD! I’m keeping up with my resolution of blogging twice a week by using a Tuesday & Friday schedule, so that means I won’t be posting exactly on the same day I did a year ago, but I’m still celebrating…

It’s crazy how quickly a year goes by ^ I remember when I first found WordPress and Marzia’s blog which inspired me to create my own. I had finally found the perfect platform, an awesome outlet for my photos and the stories that accompany them. Since starting my blog, I’ve gained almost 500 followers and made a ton of new friends. I’ve received advice, support, and so much wonderful feedback from other creators through this site. I’ve taught myself to be mindful of what’s in the frame of each photo I take and how to edit the lighting & sharpness so it looks just right on screen. It’s been a journey and I’ve had a lot of fun so far! I’m excited to say I’m gonna keep it up and I have much more planned for the coming months and hopefully years too- how many years have you all had your blogs?

*IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW*

Do you like my blog? Do you like free stuff? Then celebrate my blog’s birthday with me by entering my giveaway! I was going to save it for when I hit the milestone of 500 followers (which I’m pretty close to), but I thought the milestone of an entire year of blogging sounded better. I’ll show you what I’ve got in store for you if you win:

I put together a literal “basket full of goodies” over this past year ^ it’s got a bunch of trial-size and full-size random beauty items I thought would be fitting for a blogger giveaway!

*NOTE: the taupe bandana in the basket is also included in the giveaway, but not the basket itself- sorry!

• A pair of super soft “Always in the Mood for a Nap” slipper boots by Mixit (size US 5-6)

• Winky Lux diamond powders foundation (medium)

• NYX illuminating stick

• Wet n Wild makeup stick (blush)

• Smashbox photo finish foundation primer

• Tarte Amazonian clay bronzer & blush (sample)

• Derma-e firming moisturizer (sample)

• Too Faced HangoveRx replenishing face primer (sample)

• Bath & Body Works Moon Light Path body cream (full)

• Impress one-step gel press-on nails set

• Palmer’s Flip balm (mango)
