blogger book swap

hey y'all,

I realized I had yet to link up with Kimberly and crew for the Blogger Book Swap! I was really suprised and excited to get Leanna again as my partner! We were partners for the  Flip Flop Swap back in July!

Leanna sent me David Nicholls' novel One Day! I have actually already seen the last half of the movie so I am really excited to read the book and see how it compares. She even made it a Barnes and Noble's digital gift so it was sent directly to my beautiful nook! I have yet to pick up the book since I am swamped with amazing library books but my goal is to start it before the end of the month.

Have you read One Day?
What are you currently reading?

Thanks again Leanna!

Peace and Blessings,

Tied up with some pearls...

Hey y'all,

So this past week I got an amazing surprise in the mail from my swap partner from The Preppy Student's earring swap. It was a lot of fun shopping for only one pair of earrings but I was so in love with the pair I received from Kailey of a Pearl Kind of Girl.

Aren't they adorable! I thought a bow made of pearls is a perfect addition to my jewelry collection and are perfect for work since they are small studs/not overpowering.

What are your favorite pair of earrings like?

Flip Flop Swap Reveal!

Hey y'all,

I'm excited to post about the beautiful gift I recieved from Leanna of OMG I'm Back in D.C. We were partners in Leslie, Olivia, and Sarah's Flip Flop Swap. It was really great to find a new blog and I love hearing about her adventures in a city I know well. My older sister and best friend both live in the DC area, and I even took a day trip up there my last semester of college for my Monuments & Memory class (in April) so I know the area well. 

Now onto the beautiful gift. 

All of the goodies! 

Two pairs of flip flops. A pink pair and a gold-ish pair!

Glamour, Hairties, Headbands and Pink Nail Polish=Pool Essentials.

Thanks so much to Leslie, Liv and Sarah for hosting the swap but especially to Leanna for getting me amazing goodies. I am headed to the beach in just over a week and I know that everything she gave me will be put to good use. 

THANKS AGAIN!

Peace and Blessings,

Koozie Swap!

Hey y'all,

I know I am posting twice today and that is because I believe my beautiful swap gift deserves it's own pretty post. I participated in Sarah of Simply Sarah and Katie of His Diamond and Mine's koozie swap where I was matched up with  the lovely Leslie from Life in its Ordinary Form. Leslie is so sweet and we have a lot in common so it was great to chat and find great items for her swap gift. Now onto the goodies....

All the gorgeous gifts

 I was blown away with all the gifts from Leslie especially since a lot of the items were things I had been debating about getting. I also loved her monogrammed stationery. BEAUTIFUL!

The beautiful monogrammed koozie.

 I am so excited to add a monogrammed Koozie to my collection. I don't think I would have ever picked the light blue and purple together but it is gorgeous and fits me perfectly. THANK YOU LESLIE!

I had been looking for the new hair ties everyone has been raving about and was so surprised and excited to receive them in my swap gift. I also love chapstick and was looking at the Maybelline Baby Lips when they first came out but I always have a lot of chapsticks running around so I decided to pass. I'm loving the Fruit Punch one I got.

THANKS AGAIN LESLIE!

I can't wait to see what everyone else got. If you want to see what I got Leslie, CLICK HERE for her post on the swap!

Peace and Blessings!
