Sunday Sponsor Notice - Entropy

I'm really proud to announce eNTROPY as a new sponsor, because first of all I love the brand, and second the designer's a good friend of mine and seeing his ideas put together to become something this amazing is just truly inspiring.

Here's some more info about eNTROPY:

Entropy is a brand new clothing line from the island of Puerto rico. We don’t believe in labels nor do we want to associate with any label, this line is for everyone and anyone who likes it. Inspired by art, vector art, surfing, skating, and vibrant colors. This line is made to get out of the trend that big companies have fallen to, and make you like what you are wearing.

You can read his interview here. And meanwhile you can check out all the designs on their Facebook Fan Page.

That's us in 2008.

Pretty Pink Rat Giveaway!

Well, the wait is over. The fabulous giveaway is finally here. I teamed up with the lovely Carolyn of Pretty Pink Rat, to offer one of you lucky ladies the Miranda Three Nut and Glass Pendant.

First, let me introduce to all of you...Carolyn.

I'm 23, and I have a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, and I love the way that shiny hardware looks. I decided this past summer to start making jewelry out of it, though I've had ideas for much longer, probably starting with an internship that exposed me to assembly lines full of nuts, washers and bolts. This particular design, the Miranda, was something that I just played around with and ended up liking! The three nuts on top can spin, which is great for me because I fiddle a lot, and it gives me something to do with my hands! I actually wear a copy of this necklace myself quite often, it goes with everything!

I seriously, seriously love this piece!!! Especially the fact that it's clear because as she said,  it goes with EVERYTHING! So, there you have it, Pretty Pink Rat, my latest lovely sponsor.

Valentine's Giveaway #3

Giveaway #3 is here... Woot! Remember that they all close this Friday, February 12th.

Whoever wins this one, is in for a REAL TREAT. Simplysuds is offering TWO READERS one of her amazing creations. I had the hardest time choosing the prizes and it will be even worse to ship them. I immediately fell in love with the scents and textures of her items. 

Here's some more info about simply suds...

I am registered nurse and began making handmade soap in 1996. I use the cold process method when making my soap. Each made in small batches in my kitchen and hand stirred and cut and allowed to dry in a smoke free enviroment. I use only food grade edible oils and butters and scent each bar with pure essential oil or top quality fragrance oil. I began adding handmade lotions, body butters, shea butter scrubs, and fizzy bath bombs to my line in the last few years. I am excited to announce that I will be adding a premium linen, room and body spray to my line of bath products. This spray will be alcohol free which can be very drying to the skin. Look for this soon! Soap is my passion and my obsession. I am always researching new items and trying new fragrances to add to my line. My products can also be found at my website, www.simplyuds.com.

Two of you will be chosen as winners for this one! One winner will receive the "sweet almond handmade cold process shea and cocoa butter soap" [pictured above]. The other winner will receive the "pink sugar whipped shea butter body butter Vegan friendly 4 oz jar" [pictured below].

Valentine's Giveaway #2

Well here it is, our lovely giveaway #2. The first one's still open though. They will all close this Friday, February 12th.

Since I would never giveaway something that I'm not obsessed with myself [seriously ya'll] for this one, I'm giving away... CANDLES!! YAY!! Ok, anybody who's ever been to my house knows that it's more of a spa/church in here due to the crazy amount of candles everywhere.

My awesome new sponsor Gilda from Tissai has offered one of my lucky readers not one, but a set (a round one) of her magnificent candles. Not only do they smell great [trust me, I know] they also look wonderful. Here's a little info about Tissai:

Tissai is a start-up from Chicago specializing in hand-poured scented candles with materials from US, Europe and Asia. The scents are mixed throughout the entire candle, and the refined paraffin wax burns cleanly and evenly. Tissai scented candles aim to capture the essence of the season and strive to leave behind the feelings of calmness and relaxation.

We're definitely passionate in what we do and strongly believe that the products speak for themselves! Our Candles are available for wholesale and retail.
