We’ll just go ahead and call this “5 Things on a Friday – The Giveaway Edition”! If you don’t like giveaways, leave now. Shoo. Be gone with you. If you like to win free stuff, well then, step right up! Have I got some pretties for you!

1 >> Coastal.com glasses from ME. I’m sorry. I had to be number 1…because two is not a winner and three nobody remembers. Kidding! Also, why am I quoting Nelly? Anyway, click here to revisit the giveaway I’m doing. It’s for THREE pairs of glasses from coastal.com, no limitations. Want a fancy pair of designer glasses? GET ON IT.

2 >> bareMinerals Get Started kit from MakeUp Junkies. One of my clients through my job with the media company is a makeup boutique. Right now, we’re doing a giveaway on their Facebook page. Like their page, fill out the form, and you will be entered to win a FREE bareMinerals Get Started kit (over a $60 value)! There are not enough words and feelings in this world to express how much I love bareMinerals. I’ve been wearing it for over 7 years and every time I try to switch, I always end up going back. Win this kit and you, too, will fall in love.

3 >> $50 gift certificate from Transformations by Maria. One of my freelance clients is Transformations by Maria in Houston. Maria is an image consultant and life coach who also does closet assessments, personal shopping, custom-designed accessories, and garment repairs. On her website is an online store chock full of gorgeous pieces. From now through May 6th, Maria is giving away a $50 gift certificate to be used in her online store. Enter to win via Facebook.

4 >> Blowfish Shoes from Jenni at Story of My Life. After you get done wiping the drool from your chin because OMGSHEISSOPRETTY, go ahead and enter this giveaway for a free pair of shoes from Jenni + Blowfish. Except maybe don’t, because I want to win.

5 >> Book Fair Giveaway from Diana at Our City Lights. Equal parts loveliness, nerdiness, and nostaligia make up this adorable giveaway. Diana is one of my absolute favorites and I love the idea of this sweet literary bundle.

WHEW. It’s almost too much goodness all at once…almost. Enter all of these and keep your fingers crossed. Good luck!

A quick update on me: Yesterday was my last day at my job with the newspaper. While I will miss the job and especially the people I have worked with (who are amazing), big things are on the horizon for Michael and me. I’ll post about it next week, I promise! It’s good. Really good.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a long weekend to enjoy. If you need me, I’ll be with Chelsea, Molly, Kelly, and Lyndsey (aka The Glamazons) until Sunday. We’ll be checking in via Twitter and Instagram, I’m sure. This weekend is much anticipated and especially needed right now. Looking forward to good food, many thoughts and feelings, and relaxation. Yes please.

I’ll be back next week with lots of news and hopefully a completely new lease on life due to back-to-back nights of more than 5 hours of sleep.

Happy weekend! <3
