Winter Warrior Contest extended
I’m reopening this contest since our previous winner was outside of the United States.
As a reminder – Winners must be in the USA. The weight plus two aerosole products makes shipping outside the US too expensive (particularly for the value of the products.) I’m sorry!
New end date:
Congratulations to the winners of the
October Mystery Birchbox & Ipsy grabbag!
Since I had a few more products come in to send back out, I decided to do two boxes. This also kept my shipping weight under 1 lb for each box AND allowed me to fit everything into two boxes.
So on to announcing the winners from the October Mystery Birchbox & Ipsy grabbag contest…
Julie won the “grand prize” … which meant she got to pick her box. She chose box # 1
(Link to Julie’s blog: http://cautiouslyoptimisticreviews.blogspot.com/ )
AND
Tina came in second and will receive box # 2
And seeing as these were the only two people to enter the mystery contest, I thought I would make you all jealous of what they were sent by sharing the photos below. 😛
Shame on me for making it a mystery grab bag, no photos and no products listed… not good for SEO, yes I was being lazy but I STILL figured I would still have more than 2 people enter!!!
Sheesh y’all…

Upcoming contest / giveaway…
probably August 2013
You know how I said in a couple of my videos that I was going to do a giveaway soon? Well I let one of my friends raid my stash of items last week and she ended up wanting WAY more items than I thought she would want to take.
That’s alright since the products found a new home but it does mean I’m going to wait a bit so there’s a little more variety in the giveaway.
Keep an eye out – I WILL be doing a giveaway
(probably after the next Birchbox & Ipsy shipments come in in August.)
ClothingCult’s Giveaway
Thanksgiving 2012 – Birchbox Samples
*************************************************
This giveaway has ended – Winner: Julie
*************************************************
EDITED – Since no one has entered any of the contests yet and I was going to end them tomorrow I’ve decided to consolidate them all into one prize. Winner takes all. New giveaway: This contest ends on: 11/28/2012 12:01am EST
ENTER AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST – Comment on the blog & entry in the giveaway form.
So I have all of these samples that have been unused and are just taking up space. Some I won’t use simply because they have dimethicone in them (cones break ME out but they might not break you out.) Others I haven’t used because they aren’t my cup of tea (synthetic perfumes.) BUT I know that many of you might be interested in having these samples.
SO I’m going to do a giveaway of Birchbox samples I haven’t even touched (ok, I’ve touched the packaging here but you get my point.)
Why is this a Thanksgiving givaway? Because I will be thankful for some extra storage space and you will be thankful to have some fun goodies. Yeah, I know, not entirely the theme of Thanksgiving (thankful for what you have) but I do really want to reclaim some storage space.
So here’s how it’s going to work: We have four boxes and thus four giveaways you can enter. Each person can enter all four giveaways once.
These contests start on: 11/19/2012 12:01am EST
These contests end on: 11/26/2012 12:01am EST
This contest ends on: 11/28/2012 12:01am EST

Some DIY Button earrings
I went to Hancock fabrics this evening and came across these buttons that I thought would make perfect earrings. They’re very simple and cheap to make.
Supplies:
- Earring hooks on hand or around $3 a package
- Necklace Bails – used Beadalon Pinch Pendant Bails 327B-070 $3.49 (pack of 4)
- Bloomenthal laser cut “cut-out” buttons $2.50 ea. large or $2.75 for the cards of two smaller buttons. Colors that may be available: http://www.blumenthallansing.com/cutoutbuttons.aspx
- Pliers and wire cutters on hand.
Project cost should be around $12 or less
unless you don’t have pliers or wire cutters.
I got both the large white buttons and a green that’s unusual.
This project is super simple.
- Cut the piece from the necklace bail off that won’t work with the earring hook with the wire cutters.
- Open up the bail and insert the button. Make sure you close it on the same opening in each button for both earrings so you have symmetrical earrings.
- Open the earring hook to and make sure you have the button faced the correct direction when you put the loop from the bail onto the earring hook and close.
The white earrings button size is 1 1/2 inches (38mm) so they are slightly longer than that.
Made from laser cut polyester. They feel a bit like plastic but with a pearly finish and they are VERY lightweight.
