"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

Read all about it!

Happy belated New Years loves! I hope you all had fantastic evenings filled with sparkles, shine, bubbly and midnight kisses! Mine included 3 of the 4, but I'll just let you wonder which three :) I have been meaning to show you photos from my night, but I was having camera trouble all weekend. We should be back in business tomorrow, though!

On December 23rd I achieved one of the first goals I had set for this blog: to have 100 followers before Christmas. I could not have been more excited! It means so much to me that you wonderful ladies take time to stop by and read my random musings. I learn from each and every one of you and I always look forward to checking out your lovely posts. I have been promising a giveaway to thank all of my followers for awhile now and I always deliver on my promises! When trying to decide what would be good enough for you fabulous fashionistas, I took some of my own advice and turned to one of my Fashionable Giving posts and immediately spotted the perfect giveaway item! To thank all of my current (and any possible future) followers I will be giving one lucky lady a year subscription to Elle Magazine! I am always so inspired by the beautiful spreads that the magazine produces month in and month out, not to mention the top quality writing content that the incredible editors churn out. I would love to bestow this gift upon one of you dears.

The rules to enter are pretty simple, but please feel free to ask a question if you need any help entering!! You can leave a comment, or you can always email me at lwainman321@gmail.com. I hope you will all join in the fun before midnight (ET) January 8th! I will use random.org to pick a winner and announce the winner Sunday.

  4. My best blogging tip: Enjoy it! Write about things you love, enjoy connecting with people you care about, and just have fun. If you're not having fun with your blog, others aren't going to, either.

  11. And my best blogging tip is that I think blogging is all about being in a dialogue with people and sharing tips and pieces of ourselves so taking the time to visit people's blogs and really read what they are writing about and make insightful comments is really really important!
