Pink Coast Designs Giveaway

Just as I was dreaming/imagining about my upcoming visit to Amsterdam and a possible trip to Paris, Belgium and other places me and Jelle can squeeze into our itinerary, I read a comment in my blog inviting me to check out a link. Well, my curiosity kicked in and so I clicked on the link and what do you know it's another giveaway. This giveaway is in celebration of the blog author's foray to blogger.

Pink Coast Designs~ where the jewelry is not only an expression of the artist, but also of the customer. I have been making jewelry since I was twelve, and I now offer signature pieces, as well as custom pieces. If you’d like to have a unique, little piece of art, tailored just for you please send me an email! I use only the best in my designs; sterling silver chains, bails, clasps, jump rings, and charms ~ as well as authentic, beautiful Swarovski Crystals.

One lucky winner will win a "Morning Glory" Necklace! (As well as a tube of her favorite kind of chapstick and a nail polish ^_^)

To join, please follow these steps:

1. Become a follower of this BLOG
2. Post the giveaway in an entry in your blog (Entry must contain a link to this BLOG, as well as to www.pinkcoastdesigns.com and a picture of your favorite piece.)

And here's my favorite design in the pieces she created...a pink heart with the Eiffel Tower charm. Ahhhh, Paris! I can't wait to set foot there. I am overwhelmed with excitement. Maybe if I win this necklace, it'll remind me that somewhere in the other part of the globe, someone's waiting for me...

Love, From Paris $45 - This vintage-looking necklace would remind anyone of their trip to romantic Paris, or symbolize a dream vacation yet to come. Sterling silver Eiffel Tower charm is accompanied by a 14mm Swarovski Light Rose heart pendant. Other color options include Rose and Siam. Heart chain and all fixtures are sterling silver.

Paris is L-O-V-E!

Bloggiversary Is Today!

Just a quick note to everyone before I head off to la la land. Today is my blog's birthday and I am so thrilled. This is the first time that I ever maintained a blog (maintained as in regularly updated it) for one whole year.

Cheers to more blogging days ahead....

P.S.
July 19 last year when I decided to start a blog about the random stuff that happens in my life. This blog has seen me through better days and so-so days. I joined the beauty blogosphere in June and since then my number of followers has took off. I could only be thrilled. Anyway, I hope I could keep this blog of interest to my current and future followers. I hope I won't slack off this time. I have Krispy Kreme donuts ready for my followers at work (thanks to Uncle Don for picking it up for me after church today). I'll bring it to work tonight. Yay!

FOTD: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

We were tinkering with our new television set in the apartment today and I suddenly felt the urge to play with make up again. LOL! Jonah suggested that I should try out a smoky look since I haven't tried doing it yet. I thought it would be a good idea considering that we are such losers we can't go out on a Friday night because of our schedule at work.

For this look, I'm trying to achieve a tanned skin with silver and black eyeshadow (kinda like a sun kissed skin and then going out for a party by the beach at night kinda look). I tried hard to blend the colors and I don't think I did well but there's always a first time. In time, I'll learn...You be the judge!

Anyway, here's to more playing pretend on future FOTDs...Take a peek:

FOTD: Marine Discovery

It rained the whole day and I was stuck inside the house with nothing to do. I played Farmtown for almost half the day (managed to move from Level 18 to 22), napped for about two hours and read a book and then played with make up again. I was home alone but managed to keep myself busy this rainy day Thursday.

Before Uncle Don went to bed, I asked him for a color on top of his head and he uttered blue. So, blue it is... Here are some pictures:
