Beauty & Bubbly

Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

Santa Margherita Wines is joining with The Beauty Bar to celebrate their 60th Anniversary, new Prosecco 52 and custom nail polishes. They will be hosting a fun event this Friday, June 1st at Austin’s Blackheart Bar located at 86 Rainey St.

Come by, purchase a glass of their wine or champagne and you get a free manicure! Not only that, you get to take home one of their shades for free as well. I’m loving them all and I’m sure it will be hard to choose but I’m leaning towards the Pinot Grigio or Sparkling Rose.

 

 

 

You can walk-in but spaces are limited so definitely RSVP to save a spot: http://tinyurl.com/SMBeautyBar

Also, Santa Margherita is giving away 200 (!) of their limited edition, custom nail polish kits with a makeup bag. You can go to their Facebook page to enter.

Hope to see you and your girlfriends there this Friday!

Giveaway: Printrunner – 250 Custom Business Cards – CLOSED

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

Owning my own business and being my own boss comes with a lot of perks – I set my own schedule, I can wear whatever I want and I’m pretty lenient on vacation requests. The tough part about running a business and maintaining a brand is of course marketing yourself and your work. I’m lucky enough to have a Marketing minor from UT which helps because I have to constantly sell my work to succeed. And I know that even in our times of the internet and social media, the number one rule is to always make sure you have business cards on hand.

So when I was offered a set of business cards from Printrunner.com I jumped at the chance. Printrunner.com is a full service, high-quality printing site where you can print business cards, banners and even fun stickers. And here’s your chance to win!

Your prize will be 250 standard size business cards printed on 14 point paper. The cards will have high quality UV coating and you can choose up to 4 colors on each side.

Giveaway ends on May 28th at Noon CST. It’s open to U.S. Residents and to folks 18 and above only. Check out Printrunner on Facebook and Twitter then leave a comment (with your email) below to enter.

In the meantime check out Printrunner.com and all the cool things you can print online!

 

**Disclaimer: I received a set of business cards in compensation for hosting this giveaway.**

 

UPDATE: Winner is Dana Beeman!

 

flowers a la 1996

I had a skirt with a very similar print back in middle school. Crazy what comes back into style, isn’t it? And what doesn’t  - my 1996 skirt was made of satin. Gross.
