Well hello there stranger...

Hi everyone.  I'm so sorry I have been neglecting my blog lately.  I have been lucky enough to have been very busy with my etsy shop.  I didn't even have time to do my nails!  And one thing to know about me is that I ALWAYS do my nails.  Anyways, I will post my Alphabet Soup series tonight.  I believe I'm on I.  That'll be a tough one.  I will also announce the winner of the Cluster Necklace Giveaway!  Thank you to all those who entered.  I am sure I will have another one again soon.  You know me, I just can't help myself.

Side note : Thank you SO much to Erika from Cafe Fashionista and Sharon from elisharon.  Why?  Because I won both of there giveaways over the weekend.  How crazy is that?!  Super duper excited to get my winnings.  Yipee skippee!!!  Btw... if you haven't checked out these blogs... you absolutely must.  Excellent fashion and outfit posts.  Very good eye candy and a wonderful read. 

WINNER WINNER!!

First off, thank you to everyone who entered my rope bracelet giveaway.  Including the bonus entries, there was a total of 185!!!  You guys really made my day!!  So, without further ado...

Thanks for all the support.  I hope all you new followers, continue to check out my blog from time to time.  You will find out soon that I LOVE hosting giveaways.  And I'm sure I will have another soon.

A Bag and a Tag...

Jen from Craftiness NOW tagged me.  (btw... super sweet girl and cool blog!)  So here's the innards of my bag.

1. Handbag | Coach 

Got this on my trip to Austin, TX.  LOVE that city!!!!

2. Kleenex

These are plain white ones I put in a cute case. 

3. Butterfly notepad | Pier 1 Imports

I'm always writing notes to myself, otherwise I can't remember a thing!

4. Blotting sheets | Clean & Clear

These are absolutely by far the best blotting sheets.  Doesn't remove your makeup and it's really good at getting all that oil!

5. Tic Tacs

6. Eyeliner | Urban Decay 24/7 in bourbon

Stays on for a long time, doesn't run down your face and it has the teeniest flecks of gold shimmer to add a little something.  This is ALWAYS in my bag.

7. Sliding mirror | MAC

8. Pocket knife

9. Zyrtec

10. Lip butter | Korres Lip Butter in jasmine

I use every tub of this to the last drop.  No matter what, I always have this one my lips.  I get dry lips and this makes them so soft.  I even wear it to bed!  Plus, it has a really pretty soft pink tint.

11. Wristlet | Coach

This was gifted to me as a bridemaid's gift when I was in my friend Nikki's wedding.  So sweet!  I love it.  Small enough to carry alone, but big enough to hold my essentials.

12. Hand lotion | Eucerin

I'm a medical assistant by day, so I wash my hands constantly.  This hand lotion is the best ever.  Period. 

13. Pen | Pilot G2-07

I have a pen in every purse.  And these are the best gel pens. 

14. Cell | Blackberry Pearl in red

Also, another gift from Nikki.  (told you she was sweet)  I don't know how I ever functioned without Blackberry!  I'm planning on upgrading to the Bold pretty soon.  Can't wait!

Now, I tag Jozen (Lola's Girl), Sharon (elisharon), Myra (Twigs & Honey), and Rachel (The Shop Bug).  Come on ladies... show us what's in your bag.  :)

Sweet girl
