for fun // a giveaway

just because I love pretty Spring flowers

& I've been obsessed with scarves lately...

I'm giving away this lovely infinity scarf from the Eclectic Joy shop!

I'm keeping it simple today;

all you have to do is leave a comment!

(along with your email address

so I can contact the winner)

I'll randomly choose a winner

when I get back from SNAP.

Happy Spring!

**this is not a sponsored post, just me sharing some love with you.**

there & back

hello, friends!

oh my, life has been busy, busy, busy these days.

we were actually out of the country for the past 2 weeks

(my first international trip, eek!)

travelling to Singapore & Perth, Australia.

it was quite the trip, and I'm so thankful we got to go.

I'll be sharing some highlights & pictures over the next couple weeks!

in the meantime, hope you all are doing well.

this month is sure to be a very busy one,

but my goal is to check in here more often.

happy Monday & hello to a new week!

have you heard of fashionABLE?

"Your purchase of a fashionABLE scarf creates sustainable business for women in Africa.  Our commitment as a non-profit is to the development of people — fashionABLE works with women who have been exploited due to the effects of poverty.  So, when you purchase a scarf you are providing jobs, and then we send the net profits back to holistically rehabilitate more women. This is the beauty of non-profit….
Scarves provide jobs, profits provide restoration."

I love the meaning behind what they do,

love that these beautiful scarves are made

by real women with real stories.

I ordered the Frehiwot scarf pictured on the left

SNAP! 2013

guess what?!

this girl is heading to the SNAP! 2013 conference

in just about 5 weeks!!

I am super excited about this opportunity,

although I'm also pretty nervous...

this will be my first blog conference,

so I'm not 100% sure what to expect/what to do, etc.

I can be pretty shy, but hopefully I won't be a wallflower. ;)

If you've gone to a similar conference,

what would your #1 piece of advice be?

If you'll be at SNAP, too, I'd love to get to know you better.

Leave a comment with a link to your blog so I can check it out!
