We were so excited to finally be able to reveal and share our new blog/home to everyone yesterday and continue to grow as a community!! It was such a busy day here. With over 2k visits to our new blog and almost 2500 views on the February issue we are beyond ecstatic at how many people have read our magazine so far. In honor of our new blog’s ribbon cutting we will be giving away not one but two beautiful headbands from Just Lovely Things (see below)!! Heather, owner and designer behind Just Lovely Things, was awesome enough to send over a few of her goodies for us to photograph and review for our February issue. If you haven’t had a chance to read our reviews, be sure to check them out here and send heather some facebook love for allowing us to share her beautiful creations with you.
This contest will run through Monday the 30th till 11:59 PM EST and all you have to do to enter is post a comment below telling us what you would like to see in future issues. It could be anything from eye candy from a certain photographer to an article about something specific. You literally could suggest anything. Two comments will then be chosen at random Tuesday morning and the winners will be posted on our blog that day. Please make sure that you include your e-mail address in your comment so that we can get a hold of you if you win. Please know that comments have to be approved before they show up so if you comment does not appear right away it’s okay!!
