Happy 7th Bloggiversary to Me + a GIVEAWAY

This post contains affiliate links.

With all the craziness of going to Dallas and then catching upon sleep and getting back to work last week I completely missed my 7th Bloggiversary!! How did that even happen?? That’s right, I has been 7 years (November 11, 2010) since I started this little blog o’mine. I remember it like it was yesterday, I was about to have surgery and be off work for 6 weeks and had been reading blogs for a while and finally bit the bullet and decided to start one of my own. It has been a crazy ride…I have seen my share of blogging ups and downs but I think I finally found my happy place. I blog 3-4x a week about things I really care about and I have met some amazing people along the way.

I usually do some sort of reflection post on each of my bloggiversaries but this year I am changing things up a bit. Instead of looking back on my year of blogging I decided to do a fun giveaway instead! In honor my my 7 tear bloggiversary I decided to give away seven of my favorite things!!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

ONE. Tigi Bed Head Masterpiece Shine Spray. Living in the south having big hair is a big deal, also having hair that stays in place all day! HA! This has been my go-to hairspray for a long time now. Not only does it keep my hair in place all day but it smells sooooo good!! Love this stuff!!

TWO. Garnier Clean + Smoothing Cream Cleanser. I have waxed poetic about this cleanser for a long time now. It really gets the makeup off your face while leaving it super smooth and clean. It’s my ultimate favorite cleanser and super hard to find so I always stock up on it when I can get my hands on it! It’s really that good y’all.

THREE. IT Cosmetics Chic in the City Brush Set. It’s not secret that I have been obsessed with IT Cosmetics brushes for a long time now and they actually sent me a big box of their holiday collections brushes for Ulta and I decided to give one set away to one of my amazing readers!! This set includes all of my favorite brushes and comes in a gorgeous rose gold!!

FOUR. It’s a 10 Miracle Leave In Lite. This is also another product that I have loved for a long time! It’s perfect for any hair type and really works at keeping your hairdetangled, de-frizzed and helps with split ends and so much more!! Plus it smells amazing!!

FIVE. Uplifting Rosemary Coconut Milk Lotion Spray. Tis the season for dry hands, am I right?? This is one of my favorite lotions for my entire body and smells amazing!! Plus its from Ulta so you know it works!!

SIX. Lane Bryant Animal Scarf. Remember this scarf from this post?? It is one my most absolute favorite recent purchases!! I love it so much that I bought a few extras for Christmas gifts and I am giving one away to one of you!! Its super warm plus super cute!!

SEVEN. NARSIssist Velvet Lip Glide Set. Another recent favorite beauty find of mine are these NARS lippies!! I found this set at Ulta and know it would be perfect to giveaway! It has six amazing colors and I can’t wait to see one of you in them!!

The rules are simple, you must be a US resident to enter and all you have to do is fill out the Rafflecopter below.

    Congrats! I am 8 years this year, I can’t believe what a roller coaster ride it has been but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. There are some products I have not tried here, but I have to admit I am in this for the brushes and that rose gold case, I am obsessed with all things rose gold always have been, my favorite watch, my favorite headphones, jewelry etc. and I love all things animal print so a big roar for that pretty scarf!

    Congrats! I have 8 years of blogging and just took six months off from it because of a move to another state. I wasn’t quite sure where blogging was taking me and I needed to be making an income…right now I’m not sure if I’ll continue or not. I love blogging for me, but I think there’s a lot of the business side of it that doesn’t sit well with me sometimes. Still, I love sitting down at my computer and comprising an amazing blog post. Congrats on your anniversary!

    Congratulations on your 7th year of blogging. It is crazy how fast it goes by. I started in 2012 to try to make a little extra money and help new moms. My writing was horrendous but I stuck with it anyhow. Writing every day slowly improved my writing skills. After I was laid off, it ended up being a way to take the focus off myself and my health problems. Then it transpired into more.
