NOW CLOSED: 22nd Blog Giveaway: $25 Sephora e-Gift Card

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered!

Wow! This month is flying by! I didn’t even realize we were coming up on the tenth! It feels like it was just Christmas. In fact, I still have a pile of Christmas stuff in my living room that needs to be packed away. You know, you think you picked up everything and then there is a wreath here or an ornament there and suddenly you have fifteen items cluttering up your house that you don’t want to deal with.

This week has been hard. My kids started school again and in the overheard words of a child I know, “I’m not ready to start the grind again.”

This month I decided to give away a $25 e-Gift Card to Sephora. I have really been loving experimenting with makeup lately. I recently did a post about my favorite new lipstick set. I wore the orange color to get my hair done this week and after three hours, my sweet hairdresser said, “I can’t believe your lipstick has stayed on this whole time!” I also finally have made a decision on what mascara I think wins the top spot after trying about twenty different ones over the last year. That post will run in the next two weeks. Needless to say that makeup has been on my mind.

To enter for a chance to win this month’s gift card please leave a comment on this post stating a person whose inner beauty you admire. I have two right now: My dear friend Bridgette recently won a television on The Ellen Show and then selflessly donated it to a veteran. My amazing friend Kerri, who I admire so greatly, recently started a new career and she is soaring. Both women are physically beautiful but their inner beauty is what myself and others are most attracted to. I am so inspired by my friends. I am inspired by all of you. If that is too personal, any old comment is fine as long as it is pleasant. You may enter a second time by being a subscribed reader of this blog. There are many ways to do so on the right hand side of this page (which I really need to update all ready). Please leave a second comment if you are a subscribed reader. I count the comments at the end and then I enter everyone’s name into random.org to pick a winner. So, to be fair, it has to be a separate comment.

Limit two entries per person in the forms specified. Must be eighteen years old to enter.

The giveaway runs from January 10, 2015 12:00 a.m. PST to January 16, 2015 9:00 p.m. PST. I will be choosing one winner from the comments entered on this post for the gift card using random.org. I will contact the winner on January 17, 2015 and display the winner’s name on this blog on January 18, 2015.

Thank you so much for entering! And for reading! I know I have been behind on comments and blogs. This year came so much faster than I was expecting. I am a bit overwhelmed with my house right now. I have a giant carnival wheel from the flea market that I do not know what to do with and so much to rearrange. Thank you for sticking with me. I know there have been more outfit posts than usual and that is simply because those are the easiest. When I have to choose between posting nothing or posting an outfit post, I have been choosing the outfits. I hope to write some different posts this weekend! However, I have fourteen outfit posts backed up. So please bear with me.

Now for the not so fun details —Wait! What! You weren’t having fun reading my whining?:

  1. My person with great inner beauty would be my best friend, Jordana. She is always putting others first, even those whom she doesn’t know. She once literally pulled over to help push a car up the road while wearing a dress!! True story!!! Amazing!

  2. Ahhh, what fun! Thank you for this opportunity! I most admire the inner beauty of my daughter (is that weird?) She is 12 years old, but is such a selfless little person – giving to others all the time. She’s an inspiration to me! 🙂

  3. I am not sure if this counts, but the first person I though of who was more beautiful on the inside was my grandma. She always, always, always put others first. She was very beautiful, but her inner beauty far out-shined anything outward. I aspire to be like her one day…

  4. I work with a lot of other social workers who’s dedication to their jobs and hard work inspire me on a daily basis. One in particular is 65+ years old and not only is she excellent at her job, but she also volunteers a lot of her time to help homeless people in her area.

  5. I admire my older sister for her inner beauty. She is incredibly strong, selfless and patient. She has two little boys that she is caring for and always puts her family first. I looked up to her growing up and still do!

  6. Inner beauty would be my mom who introduced me to this awesome blog and we read your posts together. She just came home from a 10 turned 18 hour through the night shift at work and first thing she asked was how MY morning was!

  7. I admire the inner beauty of my husband. I know that is an odd choice, but he has this light that shines in his eyes. He doesn’t judge and loves me no matter what.

  8. One of my college roommates and good friends is the kindest, most selfless person I know, and I can’t express how much I adore her inner beauty. She is devoutly Christian and attributes everything to God, while I am steadfastly atheist having given the issue a lot of thought; but we are close friends nonetheless and I am grateful that her faith has made her into the beautiful person that she is.

  9. The person whose inner beauty that I admire the most would have to be my Mother. She has supported me through thick and thin and shared her kindness with the world many, many, many times over. How someone can be so amazing, I’ll never know. A truly beautiful woman – inside and out. Thanks for the chance!

  10. i admire the inner beauty of my best friend sara! we became best friends in high school at age 14 and we’re both 24 now. She’s just the most kind, patient and forgiving person i know. full of grace and love.

  11. Jenni, what a sweet giveaway. I’m fortunate to have many lovely ladies in my life that are so generous with their time and talents. I always admire my oldest sister Tami whose beauty shines from the inside out. She is the best listener, is extremely compassionate and is always giving of herself to others. I’m sure she does things she wouldn’t even say, to help others, because she wouldn’t want the attention to be on herself. She is a great example of inner beauty!

  12. I have a girlfriend who I admire so much! We’ve been friends since middle school. Went to college together. And decided to finally grow up & settle down & have kids at the same time (our boys are 11 weeks apart -we made a pact while visiting a nude beach in Jamaica – we had our suits on though

    • My comment got cut off! Anyway. This friend of mine was diagnosed with MS shortly after having her son. She has changed her diet & lifestyle & is doing really well on little medication. Her husband travels a lot so most of the parenting is on her. She vowed to not let this illness slow her or her (now 6 yr old) son down & she hasn’t let it! I get worn out with my 2 kids & my husband having a job where he is at home a lot of the time. I don’t know how she does it but I look to her every day for inspiration!

  13. I admire my mom’s inner beauty. As a refugee, she has always worked toward her goal of a having a better life despite a less than favorable lot in life.

  14. I admire the inner beauty and strength of my amazing step-mother. She went through treatment for breast cancer last year and faced it all with such a great outlook and attitude. She sees the best in everyone and in every situation. When she lost her hair, she bought lots of new fun, dangling earrings and with her sparkling blue eyes and deep dimples, she was as beautiful as ever, if not more so.

  15. I am blessed to have many students with amazing inner beauty. It makes me very greatful to be able to teach them. One in particular is so strong and endures so much. She is caring for her two sick adult children right now. It is an honor to be her teacher.

  16. I admire my sister. She has been fighting breast cancer for the past year and though it of course has been hard on her I see how hard she struggles and to me, seeing that strength in her, even though strength still might comes with tears and bad days, its still there, its a beautiful thing to see. <3

  17. I have an amazing friend who not only beat cancer, but also volunteers his time to help others who are fighting the disease. He is by far the most kind hearted person I have ever known. I am fortunate to call him friend.

  18. I admire my friend who adopted two children, one of whom turned out to have SN, and she is so devoted to them and tirelessly advocates for them. It is beautiful to see her love!

  19. OOPS inner and outter beauty would be my friend Tracey. She is patient kind and a great person. I wish I was more like her. I love your blog

  20. For inner beauty, my lovely grandmother, who beat breast cancer with grace as a very young mother, and continues to posses the same strength into her 90s.

  21. Inner beauty can be a lot of things & different in each person…..hmmmmm, I see it so many places. I think I’ll say my daddy bc he is so kind & giving & helpful. He always has been & it’s been a great role model for me!

  22. I admire the inner beauty of my friend Catherine. She has been there for me and supported me when most of the other people around me doubted me. Her kindness knows no limits.
