CSN Store Giveaway!

FINALLY! I can post my giveaway! :D

Recently, a rep for CSN stores contacted me and asked me whether I would be interested in hosting either a review of one of their many products, or a giveaway! I noticed that one of my other fellow bloggers was already doing a review for CSN, so I opted for the giveaway!

CSN is offering a $15 gift certificate towards anything on their 200+ online stores! You can find everything from modern office furniture to adorable shoes to chic lighting! 


I know I know, $15 is not much if you are putting it towards a new sofa, but if this goes well... I'm sure more of you will be contacted to host giveaways and reviews worth different values! :D 
(So be positive ;D) 

How to Enter!

1. Leave a comment with your name and E-mail address! (Show some love ;D)
2. And for an additional entry, follow me! (let me know in a comment as well!)

The winner will be announced next Thursday :D

Good luck ladies!

*Side note! The winner must be a U.S. or Canadian resident :X

Versatile Blogger Award!

Stephanie, over at A Fairytale with Dog Tags passed down the Versatile Blogger award to me!

Thanks Stephanie! 

This put the biggest smile on my face!

:D

This award comes with a few rules, so read on!

2. Answer 10 questions

3. Pass it along to blogs you've recently discovered and enjoy

4. Leave your recipients a note, telling them about the award

The 10 Questions...

1. Why did you create this blog?

Oh this blog and it's reason for existing haha. I started this blog right before Ryan headed off to his first deployment, and I must say that has been very therapeutic. Kelsey and Michel (fellow Air Force significant others) convinced me to go ahead and make one after they told me about the great support they receive from other lovely ladies in similar situations, and they definitely were not lying(:

2. What kinds of blogs do you follow?

Mostly I follow other military affiliated ladies. I love reading about their stories, and offering up whatever support or advice I can think of. I also love photography and quotes, so I follow a few blogs that focus on that.

3. Favorite make-up brand?

Umm. I am actually really simple with my make up. Nothing too expensive. 

I usually just buy all of my make up from Target. 

4. Favorite clothing brand?

Forever21 & Urban Outfitters<3

5. Indispensable makeup product?

Liquid eyeliner!

Eyeliner makes my entire face! haha

When I take it off at night, it weirds me out O_o

6. Favorite color?

I don't really have one. My room is a midnight blue though, and I love that.

7. Favorite perfume?

Vera Wang's Princess! :D

and Victoria's Secret's Tease<3

8. Favorite film?

Wow. I should include a picture of my movie collection here, because

I love way too many to write.

Here are a few I love though:

A) Ace Ventura Pet Detective

B) The Harry Potter series

C) Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World

D) Beauty and the Beast

E) The Lion King

F) Superbad

G) V for Vendetta

9. What country would you like to visit and why?

New Zealand and France.

New Zealand, because I hear it is absolutely gorgeous.

And France because I want to see Versailles :X

10. Would you rather forget to put mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face?

Blush! Nobody even notices blush, but EVERYONE notices when you don't have mascara on..

(even my dad notices... "Whats wrong with your left eye?" -______-)

Now, here are the lovely ladies I passed the award on to :D

Jillian @ Iron & Sunshine

1.   If my house was on fire and I could only grab 3 things I would grab?: 1) My pets! I already have it all planned out.

2.  A smell I really like is Men's Eternity cologne... WOOOO ;D

3.  Something you might not know about me is Deli meat freaks me out. I mean... I literally have to sit there and convince myself to touch it, and after I wash my hands forever in hot water. I don't know what it is. I just can't deal with it. I HATE it. So that is how Ryan knows I love him.. I make him sandwiches haha 

4.  Some of my favorite websites to putter about on are  Blogs! haha I love these damn things. I also love browsing clothing stores online. (Forever 21, Urban Outfitters.. etc)
