What a BABE! & a giveaway!

Happy Thursday! One more day until Friday!!! But I thought why not get this weekend going early with a GIVEAWAY?!?! But first I have a few more girls you have to meet. They're beyond fabulous & I love them dearly...you may already know some of them but if not make sure you check them out...they have some pretty awesome blogs! So withouth further ado meet



Well, hello ladies! I'm Jenna and I blog over at Yours Truly, a lifestyle blog all about my daily ramblings and latest obsessions. I'm a 23 year old Social Worker turned Toddler Teacher. I love fashion. I have an addiction to beauty and hair products and should probably be given an intervention for my shopping habits. I own way too many purses, boots, and scarves. I often have a hold on my debit card because I've spent too much money. Sounds like a typical girl, huh? Come on over to my blog and follow along with my random ramblings and latest obsessions... I love new friends!




Hello There Beloved Reader,
My name is Noël Maria... I can't give you my last name because my mom told me not to :) I started to blog as an outlet to the outside world when I was at home with babies crawling all over my floor. I had 4 babies 6 and under at one point. That was 7 years ago. Yes, my blog is old. And No, my blog does not take offense to you calling it old. Well, so now those babes are teenagers and tweeners and as time has gone by I have come to love, I mean really love blogging. I could, and do on a regular basis, blog about EVERYTHING!
Well, except for things I wouldn't talk about with my mom... which is just like bedroom stuff between me and My Giant. Ya know, in a pro pro stuff :) Oh, right let my introduce you to my Giant, real name Moses. He's a biggun at 6'4, tall, not so much dark (cause he's Scottish/English) but OH SO HANDSOME(at least to me anyway). My Giant and I have been married for 17 years going strong and in love and we live in Seattle, WA. with our Fab 4 kids.  If you were to wander over to my blog at, Beautiful Life you might find me talking about all things Vintage, Coffee, VW's Kids, Music, Faith, Love and Marriage, Dogs, Movies, Tattoos, and the occasional Rant or Rave about something, or someone I LOVE.




Hi, I'm Holly. I blog over at Running in Stilettos. It's a lifestyle blog. Sometimes fashionable, sometimes funny, sometimes serious, and always down-to-earth. I am a wife, fur mommy to two dogs and a cat, a grad student, a cheer coach and a lover of wine, Chipotle, organization, scarves and random awesomeness. Come over and join the fun in my neck of the internets :)



Hello Messy Dirty Hair readers !
I'm Malo and I blog over at Life Feels Good in Portbail Beach. I'm a twenty-something fun, caring but perfectly disorganized teacher from France (my blog only is not so disorganized). I teach English and love everything that is related, directly or indirectly, to it: British and American history & literature, Britpop music, Will and Kate, American shows, cheesecakes, NY, John Travolta's dance moves,... and YOU of course! I blog about anything and everything really, I share about my daily life, latest favorites, and thoughts on various topics. Please, come and say hi sometime!

Snail Mail & Go Buckeyes!

so a month or so ago Holly of Running in Stilettos & I discussed our love of snail mail & how we wanted a penpal...well instead of just talking about it we decided to do it! & to make the penpal snail mail even more exciting we decided to have themes with our snail mail.

If you don't know Holly well that sucks first off, but second shes from Ohio...somewhere I have never ever been...& well I'm from California somewhere she has never been! We both are so interested in each others states that we decided our first snail mail would be hometown themed!

I was SUPER excited when I got her package because one I love football & two i love clothes. If you didn't know Ohio State football is HUGE in Ohio. They call it The Buckeye State! I always wanted to go to a college that was big in football but it never happened. I went to a few University of Oregon football games back in the day & i LOVED them. But now I'm transiting into a Buckeye! So in honor of football pre-season starting I decided to have some fun with my Ohio gear!!!


Let's go Buckeyes!


what do you think of my awesome football moves...pretty legit right? ha!  In my defense tho, I did play powder puff in college & kicked some sorority girl ass! ...so one of my dreams in life was to be a cheerleader in high school. I never wanted something so bad. Cheer was huge in our town & it was something I worked towards from the moment I started dancing at age 3. So when it finally came time to try out for cheer my freshmen year of high school I was ready to go....

However, I still to this day remember sitting in the gym floor with all the other hundred of girls who also tried out. I was sweating beyond belief as the varsity cheerleaders passed out envelopes to the girls who made the JV team. I never got an envelope. I just had to sit there watching my dream fade away while hearing all the excitement from my friends making the team. I was devastated. It was an awful day filled with a lot of crying & well a lot of screaming....see I do have a little bit of a temper so when I got home I kinda threw a fit...

But it didn't detour me. I was determined to be a cheerleader! So when i got to college I was super excited to hear we had a cheer team. So of course I tried out. I was SO nervous. I didn't think I was going to make it....& I prayed that they wouldn't torture us like they did in high school making everyone sit in the gym & watch who makes it. Luckily they just gave you a number & after the tryouts posted a list of the numbers who made it. I remember walking up to the list shaking & praying to God. I went up to the list...& at first glance I didn't see my number....a pit started to form in my stomach....but as I looked closer there I saw my number...3rd on the list. I made it. I made the cheer team. I was a cheerleader. I called my mom crying. I was hysterical. We both were. Finally my hard work paid off & I got to live my dream.

Before I transferred to San Diego State University I attended Sonoma State University...& no I don't really know what a seawolf is?

Okay sorry I got sidetracked....but when I think football, I think cheerleaders......so overall i LOVE my Ohio stuff...it got me even more excited for football season!

 and nothing is better than ending the day watching some pre-season football & having a nice cold drink....with my Ohio State koozie of course!


Thank you Holly for my amazing Ohio themed package....oh & did I mention she gave me this amazing recipe to make Buckeyes...it includes chocolate & peanut butter...i mean is there a better combo...don't be jealous.

so what do you think the next theme should be for our snail mail package?!

Now go & visit Holly's blog & see her Cali themed package!
