WINNER ANNOUNCED! I get 3 Valentines this year + DAL's Valentine's Day STILA LIP GLAZE TRIO GIVEAWAY!! EXTENDED!

I am such a lucky girl! I get to have THREE Valentines this year- my wonderful hubby, my fur baby- Lobo (means 'Wolf' in Portuguese- he's our 5 year old energetic and loving keeshound) and my amazing little Nik!
YOWZA! I'm surrounded by men who love me. Lucky me!
Yes, all they come with their individual stenches and quirkiness after all, they are boys, but that's what makes them more mine.

The story of Saint Valentine goes a little something like this: (or at least the version of the story I know and love as the stories behind Valentine is all a little murky anyway so to each their own). 
One legend goes that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families so he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice and being a romantic fellow himself, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers secretly in the name of love. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. While imprisoned, Valentine himself sent the first "valentine" greeting to a young girl he fell in love with.  Before his death, he wrote her a letter and signed it "From your Valentine". 

OKAY, story-time's over. Now...
**** GIVEAWAY WINNER ANNOUNCED!****
It's a super small giveaway but I am still very excited about this, if you can't already tell!!

CONGRATS KATIE PATTERSON!
 
 

I was at my local Sephora and wanted pick up this great Stila Sealed With A Kiss Lip Glaze Trio set but they were SOLD OUT! I can totally see why though- its a set of their cult-favorite Lip Glazes, (Lip Glaze in Smooch (plum shimmer), Kiss (lavender pink), and Pout (natural pink)) packaged in a really cute, super easy travel container.


Don't know if you know this about me but I am all about Eco-friendly items, parabens-free, organic, blah blah blah whenever possible. Not totally bonkers and strict about it but just enjoy the option when given the opportunity. These are totally parabens, sulfates, and phthalates free!

This is a limited-edition set so I knew I had to get my hands on one. I decided to order one for you too!
I'm totally wearing Pout to feel pretty for my boys on Valentine's Day and I am hoping they will arrive in time for me to gift to you so you too, can feel pretty wearing it on Valentine's day :)
