The Frat Collection (and giveaway)

Hey y'all,

I hope that you are all enjoying your Memorial Day especially if you have the day off like I do. It is a great time to reflect on all of our blessings including living in a country that fights for freedom. To continue the start of summer I was recently contacted by a member of the Frat Collection's campus representatives and was given a beautiful shirt. I love a nice t-shirt for all of those barbecue/backyard events between friends and neighbors, it is the perfect mix of comfortable and cute. Now if you do not know, the Frat Collection is a young up and coming clothing brand which was started by two students from Millsaps College, and is aimed at college students and more. The Frat Collection is unique in that it allows the buyer to create personalized shirts, tanks, button downs and aprons; they currently provide over 2,000 pocket t-shirt combinations. They also give a small percentage of every order to the philanthropy of the buyer’s choice. The Frat Collection is rapidly expanding across the country to all colleges, as people are falling in love with all The Frat Collection has to offer, and it is a must have for every college student. I personally love a "frocket" shirt and norts for hanging out on the weekend running errands and they were a favorite of mine in college for those comfy study days or even class.

I received the beautiful Adelaide but I am currently crushing on the Cindy, the Ellis and the Sophia for my next shirt.

Now as well as receiving my beautiful shirt I also had a few goodies in my package and I want to share! So I am giving away the extra koozies (each winner, I will have three, will receive a Frat Collection koozie and 8 bowtie decal stickers to use, share and spread the word), just leave a comment below stating which pocket of the Frat Collection's line you love and you are entered. With barbecue season upon us I know that you will love to have a nice koozie to carry around. You have until Friday, May 31st at 5pm to enter.

And for all of you lovely readers to help you get started to have a comfortable, cute summer you can enter the promo code "millsaps" to receive a 10% discount (and don't forget to choose your Philanthropy upon checkout)! Also, if you follow their social media sites they often have coupon codes or even giveaways!

*I received the shirt and koozies by The Frat Collection, however all opinions are my own.

All Things Spring Swap

Hey y'all,

So I was completely spoiled by Sarah of Shorelines and Sunshine when we were placed together as blog swap partners in Lindsey's first blog swap. I am so glad since Sarah and I have a lot of common interests and I would not have started following without this swap.

Now onto the goodies.

I was going to my apartment complex to pick up a package of Norts when lo and behold there was a package with the shipping return address of Lifeguard Press.

Sarah got me lots of items from Lilly since who doesn't think of Lilly Pulitzer when the temperatures rise and spring has sprung. I was spoiled with:

Lilly Magnets and Koozie

My fridge all decorated

A collection of Lilly koozies

Now go spoil your friends with the items Sarah got me

I promise to post real life photos of my items(I'm currently at work) since I had to run out and get some Diet Coke for my new koozie and the magnets have found a home on my fridge!

THANKS SARAH! Now head on over to her page to check out what she got from me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Little M!

Hey y'all,

I know today is the first day of Carolina Football but the celebration of football compares in the celebrartion of my Little's 22nd Birthday! I can't believe my second little is a Senior and 22 (yes, my littles are the same age and grade but I took them at different times) and I hate I am not with my fam to celebrate. I am blessed to have this girl as not only a member of my fam but my little sis, I love you mGk!

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!

ps. YAY FOR MY 50th POST!
