Special Delivery

When you saw "Special Delivery", did you think I was talking about the new Royal Baby? Well, you're partially right. But first, I want to show you the lovely contents of a parcel I received several weeks ago from Jo of Jo's Jumbled Jardiniere Blog! I came across Jo's blog when I first started blogging and what's so touching about her blog, is her personal account of her life, travels and time spent with friends & family. Jo's blogging style, reminds me of how blogging started off. It's about writing. It's about reading. It's about documenting. She's very detailed, both in her writing & pictures, and when you read her posts you feel as if you're there! She's not concerned about having a vast number of followers. She's not concerned about sponsored posts. She comments when she can, and when she does it's very heartfelt. When I received her parcel, I was very touched. She hand wrote a 7 page letter to me. She also explained each gift. Everything has meaning. I'm still blown away! When was the last time, you received a hand written note? You just don't find that level of CARE anymore. Below are the gifts she sent me. Thank You So Much Jo! You're a true friend.

Heartfelt Handwrtten Letter, Thank YOU for Being A Friend, You Are Beautiful Magnet

Jo, thank you so much for your kind words. I really enjoy connecting with others via blogging. I've made some awesome friendships because of it and I learn so much every time I read someone's blog. I've always enjoyed having a personal connection with my readers and I never plan on changing that aspect. I enjoy putting blog posts together. I love expressing my creativity through them. It's definitely a hobby that I'm proud of, along with helping others decide on products and saving people money. I love the magnet! It puts a BIG SMILE on my face, every time I look at it :)

 Etude House Nail Polish

This nail polish is so beautiful! I've never tried Etude House nail lacquer! The lace decals that come with it are are precious. I can't wait to give them a try. Thank You!

Etude House Eyelashes

Do you know, I've never tried false eye lashes before? I just recently started watching YouTube beauty vlogger videos and thought I would give them a try this year. The quality of lashes have come along way. I've always tried to remain "natural" (especially as a contact lens wearer), but lashes really do enhance the eyes. So I will definitely give these a try :) Thank you for sending them to me.

Traveling Sticky Memo Notes

I'm so glad you liked my Elvis Presley posts (while visiting Memphis, Tennessee). The whole experience was very enlightening. I definitely want to travel more. I've been to Nevada, Florida, Texas, Washington, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Illinois, and Virginia. There's so much more to see! Currently I'm remodeling my home, so trips have been placed on the back burner. But in a couple of years, I plan on resuming :) These sticky notes are just too cute! I can't wait to use them. I love the suitcase and overall travel theme of each sticker. They will be a joy to use!

Sasa Party Queen Makeup Palette

I've heard so many great things about Sasa! I shopped Sasa.com online and they have a vast assortment of all kinds of Asian beauty treats. As you know, I love trying Asian brands (and really International brands in general). The colors in this palette are beautiful. They will be perfect for Spring & Summer.

Alice In Wonderland, Chanel & Mockingjay Inspired Charm Bracelet

Three things I love! I was so touched that you thought of this and had it made. You don't know this, but I've always loved charm bracelets. Every charm, usually has a meaning to the wearer. It's personal. That's why one displays so much joy while wearing one. I LOVE any and everything Alice In Wonderland. It represents to me imagination, dreams, creativity, a journey, helping others, evolving, changing and SO MANY other beautiful things. That's why I love the story so. I've always been a fan of Chanel (especially vintage Chanel...I have a love/hate with Karl Lagerfeld hahaha), so to have her classic perfume bottle displayed is a joy. I'm so glad you included the mockingjay on my charm bracelet. It reminds me to constantly spread my wings, explore and fly! I love the Hunger Games and this is a wonderful representation.

Anna Sui Mirror

I purchased my first Anna Sui cosmetics this past Christmas. I saw her mirrors and wondered about them. This is so cute! I love the intricate details on the mirror, and now when I need a close up up my face I have this to look into. Very nice. Thank you! 

Fleurfaerie Necklace

The clothes and accessories on your website Fleurfaerie are so beautiful Jo. Thank you for this beautiful statement necklace. I'm going to pair it with a black dress. It's very striking and I can't wait to wear it. Plus, we wear a lot of black & gold here in New Orleans! That's our football team's colors! Thank you!

Thanks so much for everything Jo! I want to put a package together for you! 

Don't worry, I'm a procrastinator too! HaHaHa But I never forget! Will have one for you!

The Royal Baby is a Princess!

I was one of the ones waiting in anticipation to hear what Kate and William were having! I was so happy they had a girl. I do think they'll have a third child! I hosted a Too Faced Sugar Pop Eyeshadow Palette Giveaway on Instagram. I simply asked readers to express whether Kate would have a girl or boy. It was fun! So the winner is Angela L! Congratulations and I thank everyone that participated! My next giveaway will require being a follower on Twitter. Join me on all social media. You never know when I'll pop up and do a giveaway! Here are some random funnies. Have a great Sunday.
