China Glaze Giveaway Winner!

As you all know, the lovely Lori Todd hosted quite the amazing giveaway last week while I was away for a set of China Glaze polishes. You were all totally pumped for the prize and shared your favorite shades (thanks for giving me some to add to my every growing wish list) in hopes of being named the winner.

Well, that time has come and I’m very happy to announce that Ms. Madonna Flowers has won!

Congratulations, Madonna!
Lori will be contacting you to get all your information shortly.

And thanks to all of you for participating! I will be posting another fun giveaway in the weeks to come.

SQUEEWORTHY: nail polish giveaway

While Meli is romping around Western Europe with the love of her life, some of us girls have been holding down the fort for her. Elissa got us all hot and heavy over Emile Hirsch and shared some fabulosity with us, and Anika reminded us why Nathan Fillion earned the title of Captain Hotpants before giving us her own rendition of Loveable Friday. Now that the baton has been passed to me, I don’t intend on dropping it!

I’ve got a little confession to make: Over the past 12 months, I’ve become quite addicted to nail polish. My collection began with a meager bottle of Rimmel 60 second vinyl shine in “Zeitgeist”, which I had been hauling all over the states with me since I graduated college over six years ago. (Nail polish NEVER goes bad, ladies! It’s true.) And today my collection looks like this:

Winner of the Cupcakes & Mace Giveaway!

Congratulations to Ang! She is the winner of a Cupcakes & Mace unicorn necklace! Please email me with which color you would like your little horny beast to be (you can choose from here), and your mailing address. Squee!

Thanks to everyone who participated – I really enjoyed reading all your unicorn memories! I noticed a lot of you mentioned the 80’s film, Legend, and I thought I would share with you all that I have never seen it. I know. Complete sacrilege. All your posts about it definitely has made me want to change that sooner than later though.

Thanks again & I hope you all have a fabulous Thursday! :)

GIVEAWAY: Cupcakes & Mace Unicorn Necklace!

I’ve been a big fan of the Cupcakes and Mace (what a great name) Etsy shop for awhile now, and have ordered a few fun necklaces from them. I’m sure if you haven’t seen me raving about my own purchases, you have seen at least one, two or twelve Lovable Fridays featuring these cute and original pieces. I love how bright, kitschy and fun their accessories are with such attention to detail. Crafter extraordinaire and shop owner, Kim, is a total doll and decided to team up with me to give away one of my favorite items in her shop: the unicorn necklace!

Honestly, who wouldn’t want the coolest mythical beast (ok, so maybe tied with dragons…) around their neck? Plus, you can choose from a cornucopia of colors for your horny creature (had to, sorry) to make it more personalized.

Ready to enter?

1 – Leave a comment on this post detailing your favorite unicorn memory.

Good luck everyone!

Basically, it is a geeky wonderland, and one of you will be lucky enough to play Alice.

In honor of my bloggy birthday (cute, no?), I will have some pretty special giveaways and features coming up during the rest of the month. I did not want to wait another minute, so let the BLOGGY BIRTHDAY BONANZA (I just made that up on the spot) begin!

This includes the 3-hour session and 30-50 of the best edited photos. The only restriction is that you must be a South Florida local!

Ain’t that the truth?

Did you know January 24th is supposedly the most depressing day? Researchers say this is due to the inability to follow through with new year’s resolutions, the pile up of bills after gift buying, and the disappearance of holiday cheer and family fun. Well, both Melificent and Lulus.com have teamed up to squash that theory with the help of an amazing giveaway! How would you like to win a $50 shopping spree at Lulus.com? Mmhmm, that’s what I thought!
