200 Follower Giveaway!

Hey y'all,

I just wanted to thank all of you for being my followers with a little gift of some of my favorite things! I wish I could gift all of you or give out Jack Rogers but this girl is on a budget and student loans make that impossible. So to brighten your day, one of you will win a lovely necklace from Caroline G Shop. I think this turquoise color is gorgeous! Plus, there will also be a $20 gift card to Barnes and Noble so you can grab a book or two since we all know I am a huge reader! Also, my two favorite spring OPI colors Strawberry Margarita and A Rose at Dawn...Broke by Noon. And last but not least, who doesn't love some eos lip balm. That is a prize worth over $70!

Thank you all so much for reading along on my daily life/struggles and good luck! Enter below through the Rafflecopter until 12am on 4/10!

Fit Friday Giveaway!

Hey y'all,

So now that I am back on the health kick I wanted to share the fitness bug. With the holidays approaching, I know some of you might have felt like you overindulged on Thanksgiving. Well, I was recently contacted my Orangetheory Fitness and what better way to kick start that new years resolution than by winning a free week at a gym!

Enter Orangetheory Fitness which uses Interval Training, Indoor Rowing and Weight Training Blocks to create a whole workout!

  Orangetheory Fitness, the energizing group interval fitness concept that’s sweeping the nation, is making its first introduction in North Carolina with a studio in Morrisville opening in January. The new studio will be in the popular Park West Village Shopping Center, where a pre-sale location is already open to help introduce people to the new concept and, most importantly, allow members to lock in founders' rates. The pre-sale location is located right next to PetSmart in the Park West Village Shopping Center. To learn more, visit Facebook.com/OrangeTheoryMorrisville or call (919) 883-9469.

Now for all my Triangle readers, Orangetheory has been very generous and has offered one reader a whole week free at their new location in Morrisville and I'm sorry for my readers outside the area check out all of the other locations of Orangetheory here!

HAPPY BLOG-O-VERSARY GIVEAWAY!

Hey y'all,

Today is my little blog's one year anniversary. It is so strange to think that a year ago I decided to start all over again in the blog world from a catalog of my senior year at Carolina to a post-grad's life. In the past year I started this blog, graduated from UNC, spent the summer at home/the beach, got a job at Carolina, moved, got a great-grandlittle, turned 23 years old, and bought a car!

There were lots of other posts including these Top 5 most popular ever:

Erin Condren Life Planner (or how I organize my life)

Sunday Social and Sayings

Southern Summer Staples: Koozies

Monograms Monograms Everywhere

Sorority Chat Saturday: Big/Little Day Themes

Now to celebrate y'all following along for the past year I thought it was time for a giveaway! I don't know about you but I love bows and beautiful paper options so when Crystal Faye's online shop began to sell beautiful monogrammed bows and this pretty noteset I knew it was the perfect prize!

What I'm Loving....

What Are You Loving?

Hey y'all,

This Wednesday I have a lot of things I have been loving so let's get sharing.

I'm loving...

...guacamole. I don't know about you but some days you just get a craving for things and have to have them. This weekend it was guacamole. I think it comes from having Qdoba with my little, kBb, last week but I ran to Harris Teeter this weekend and I am now content.

....LJ IS ENGAGED! Y'all don't know how excited I was when I got the text Saturday night that LJ had said yes to her charming guy, WS. LJ and I went through Pref Night together back in Fall 2008 and have been friends and sisters ever since.

Alumni Event Spring 2010

Graduation Day!

...the weather has been beautiful this week. This morning was cold again but yesterday truly felt like spring!

...winning a beautiful monogrammed clutch from Cotton's Pickings & Capitol Letters! Now is the hard part of a decision. I am thinking classic brown with dark brown stiching. Thoughts are welcome!

Purchase Here

...my new watches. Yes I did post about purchasing a watch after Spring Break, however, Anne Klein was having an amazing sale last week so I ended up with TWO watches under $95! It was a combination of a sale, clearance and a $20 off coupon!

Gold Tone Link Bracelet

Sporty Two Tone Watch (no longer available)

...test driving this weekend! Yes the purchasing of a car is quickly approaching. I have a deadline of this summer but I think by the end of April I will be driving A BRAND NEW CAR! This is my first really big purchase (apart from my education and apartment) and I am both nervous and excited so of course I will blog my experience and some tips for the rest of y'all. I am looking at 4-door sedans so if you have any recomendations please feel free to chime in!

What are you loving today?

Peace and Blessings,
jDl

GIVEAWAY WINNER

Hey y'all,

Thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway and for all of those 111(as of this morning) who have decided to press the magical SUBSCRIBE button to follow my blog. I did not imagine to have so many of you following along on my journey after such a small time (3 months, CRAZY!) Anyway I think it is time to get on with the winner. I wrote down all the entries and then used Random.org to select the winner. It seems old fashion but I am not a huge Rafflecopter person.

Congratulations to Sarah of Simply Sarah for winning my 100 followers giveaway! I will be sending you an email soon Sarah but I am unfortunately off to work for the afternoon/evening. I can't wait to finish up finding a few of my favorite things and ordering a coral hat with white monogram. It's going to be gorgeous.

Thanks to all of my followers, again!

Peace and Blessings,
