celebrating all things girly GIVEAWAY!

If any of you know me, you know that I'm NOT a patient person, I can't keep secrets about presents and I can't keep the giveaway a secret either, so without further ado-

Druuuummmm rolllll please.....

[Some of]Amanda's Favorite Things - 
celebrating all things girly ♥

 

I wanted to put something small together of some of my favorite items that I can't live without on a daily basis - I put a list together and came up with this!

1. Chocolate - because, um, hello?! I probably eat WAY more than I should,
but being a girl means it's ok to splurge every once in a while
2. Glamour Magazine - for those of us who don't always feel as glam as Kim K.
being a girl means you find your own way to be glamours :)
3. Dove and Degree body mists - ask anyone, I have at least 3 different scents on me at one time, 
because being a girl means smelling 'pretty' some times
4. Popcorn - the buttery kind, I know but again it's ok to splurge sometimes
being a girl means you might want to even share it!
5. The Notebook - is there even an explanation needed?!
because being a girl means you've probably cried at least once seeing this movie
6. Pink nail polish - I don't paint my nails as often as I'd like, but this is my favorite kind that doesn't chip off easily
because being a girl means sometimes you give yourself home mani's
7. Mascara - I NEVER leave home without it, because I love it, but also because I have albino eyelashes if I don't wear it, I hope you like it
because being a girl means getting dolled up sometimes
8. Burt's Bees chapstick - because c'mon, let's face it, it's winter and chapped lips aren't so hot and
because being a girl you think of the little things like that

    One way I pamper myself: I wear "Sex in the City's Passion" parfume everyday. Even if I'm in sweats and not leaving the house! :)

    First off... AMAZING GIVEAWAY! I'm so giddy at all the lovely things... ;)

    I get my nails and a toe polish change done at a salon 2x a month & drink starbucks coffee and buy more books than I can read. That's how I pamper myself. ;)

    I buy books that have nothing to do with parenting or children and read at night after Mack goes to bed. I indulge in a coffee here in there at a local shop.

  17. AshleyJanuary 19, 2011 at 4:06 PM

    I pamper myself by putting on make up during nap times... because even if I'm covered in spit up and drool and baby food I can still have a pretty face. ;) I also over indulge in showers whenever I get the chance to... I can't hear anything outside the bathroom, I know husband has got the baby, and the steam soothes my aches and pains! Great giveaway, girl!

    Oh...and my favorite way to pamper myself is taking a hot jacuzzi bath with candles and soft music!

  25. miriamJanuary 20, 2011 at 8:42 AM

    I paint my nails. It makes me feel more feminine and pretty. And now it's more of a special treat and can only be done if Garrett is home or Sidney is asleep for the night because taking care of a baby with wet nails just doesn't work!
