You guys – check out what just came across in my email this afternoon:

“Elizabeth Arden introduces a NEW limited edition, refreshing twist to the famous “Pretty” fragrance. “Pretty Eau de Cologne Splash” offers a fresh, spirited floral bouquet of Pretty with a hint of citrus. This new fragrance is the perfect addition to your glamorous look and carefree mood on a bright spring afternoon!

With its new fragrance notes, such as White Peach and Pink Lady Apple, Pretty Eau de Cologne Splash” reminds us of the beauty of spring and summer, with a subtle fruit note that gives a fresh sensuality to the fragrance. Presented in a pretty glass bottle, “Pretty Eau de Cologne Splash” comes with an optional pump so you can easily switch from spray to splash, to better suit your mood.

But remember, just like spring – it’s only here for a limited time.” (*Available on www.elizabetharden.com now and in stores starting May 1) Suggested retail price: $45.00 / 6.8 fl. oz.

This sounds like it is going to smell nice – I can’t wait to smell it, esp since it has Peach and Watermelon essence in it. And, guess what? I am able to give you guys a chance to win a bottle to try it for yourself. Just enter your name and email addy in the box below, and I will randomly pick a winner at 11:59pm CST April 28th.

Let’s get this out of the way right up front:

The winner is: *winL*!!

Congratulations to them for winning the Birthday/Blogiversary goodies!
*Update: @WendyLoritsch (*man, I love me some twitter) just emailed me: ” OMG SERIOUSLY!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? THANK YOU!!! icon smile The goodies go to........... You rock! I’m SO excited to try some of your favs.”

Thanks to everyone that entered – it was great to know what you guys liked, because, well – I’m nosy like that. icon wink The goodies go to........... I wish that I could reply to each of you, but let me talk about a few things that kept coming up in the comments:

  • I am glad that so many of you liked the idea to keep your products in the fridge. I swear you will notice a huge difference next summer. It’s suprising what just one little thing that can do.
  • I am thrilled to know that you guys enjoyed my NYFW coverage. I am glad you appreciated my perspective. I like to think that I made it just a little more accessible to all of those that don’t get the opportunity to be there themselves. Plus, it was hella fun.
  • The fact that I may have influenced any of you to actually purchase/not purchase a product is wow for me. Makes me feel good that my opinion made a diff. Really.
  • It’s good to hear that people liked the Daphne Guinness post. I don’t write much about fashion, but I think that was more about the person & the creative stuff about her/around her. If something else comes up I find interesting, I won’t hesitate to put something like this up again.

Thanks for coming around and I hope you keep coming back, because, like me – you just never know what you’re gonna get when you stop by. xoxo

spread dmLcs3 Happy Birthday/Blogiversary to ME!

I love my birthday – like a fish loves water. I used to countdown to my birthday starting 30days prior. I try not to do that outloud any more, as some people seemed to tire of it, like the spoilsports that they are. I also like presents – A LOT. Because I am greedy like that. *shrug* However, this year, in observance of my almost 40th birthday, I have decided to give away a present to one of you – my fun readers. (*except for my fab Int’l readers, of which I know there are many. I’ll try and make it up to you in the new year, okay?)

So, I asked some of my favorite brands if they would help me celebrating my birthday, and coincidentally, my 1st Blogiversary and they agreed. Check out what one lucky reader can win:

Talika Beauty of Your Eye Kit ($48)
CoverFX SkinprepFx ($45)
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion ($17)and Super Rich Olive Body Lotion ($10)
Clinique 3-Step Skin Care System (*sans bag) ($50.50), SuperBalm Moisturizing Gloss (14.00), Blushwear Cream Stick ($18.50), High Impact Mascara ($14.00) and Vitamin C Lip Smoothie ($17.50)
Kiss Professional Manicure Kit ($9.99)
Dashing Diva Nail Polishes ($56)

Holy Crap – That’s worth more than $300! Do I love me some great brands, or what?

So, because it’s *MY* birthday, I get to make the rules, sort of. Enter in the box below, one entry per person, randomly picked winner, etc. HOWEVER, I would also like to know what has been your favorite thing that I have written this past year, because I am all nosy like that. icon smile Happy Birthday/Blogiversary to ME!

The contest closes at Midnight on the night of the 17th, after I have enjoyed my entire birthday, and I will announce the winner on the 18th. Good luck and thanks for playing in my playground with me. icon smile Happy Birthday/Blogiversary to ME!
