Hey guys!! There is still time to enter my giveaway I guess I'll run it through next Wednesday, and see who all enters. :)

On a more serious note-  Lately, I keep hearing about bad things happening to good people all over the place. Innocent people being tainted, sweet souls being taken advantage of and positive people getting shot in the foot. All for what? Why do people think they can treat others like this. I was on the phone last night, talking about something similar to this. And I just don't understand how a person can treat another person as if they are no one. Whatever happened to compassion and truth and justice and respect and treating humans like beings? I feel like a complete "hippie" when I say this but the perspective of the world needs to change. People are treating objects like people and people like objects.

It's Giveaway Time

As promised, I'm hosting a giveaway. I thought it would be rad to give a gift, and believe me.. I'd LOVE to give something to everyone, but unfortunately I can only choose one. I will be choosing someone at random- and the winner will receive a lil sumpin' sumpin' ;) 

Since I come from the Bay Area I thought it was only appropriate to share something from my favorite makeup line, Benefit Cosmetics. And since y'all know I love to cook and bake, I have also chosen two amazing BBQ rubs from Williams Sonoma- uber yum!! Plus, I don't know if the winner will be male or female.. So I had to make it a unisex prize. 

Benefit Cosmetics has an amazing kit which includes: Stay don't stray (great for keeping your eye shadow.. Well, on your eyes) They're Real (serious lash candy here) and It's Potent (the best eye cream for younger brighter looking eyes). Plus it comes with a certificate for a free brow sesh at one of their brow bars!! Saweeet!! 

Williams Sonoma has a great lineup of available rubs for all your summer BBQ's. The sriracha one enhances anything you put it on.. and it's got that great flavor, but it's not as hot as the original.. Don't worry it's still got some kick. The butchers rub is amazing on grilled chicken and pork tenderloin. I even use it as seasoning when baking fish. 

To Enter: So there you have it boys and girls.. If you're interested in winning leave a comment on the bottom of this post with what your favorite summer activity is. Mine is probably enjoying a late dinner outside with good food and fun people. Or trips to the beach in the evening, having a picnic and watching the sunset. 

Good luck!! Xo

So when I started this online diary a couple years ago, I never thought people would read it. It's pages have been filled with my thoughts, emotions, experiences, likes, opinions, dislikes, interests and people I love. 

When I'm passionate about something, I want to make you passionate about it too. 

So... T H A N K    Y O U   R E A D E R S

I can't believe you've kept up and supported me, or at least liked the snaps that I post.

I am hosting a giveaway next week- details to come in the next post.  

My blog hit 20,000 views this week. Maybe not so cool to you, but it's pretty rad in my book.. especially for something so unexpected. I never thought anyone would be interested and I certainly didn't start this for anyone but myself. I just wanted to document my life.

enjoii. ciao xo
