OMG OMG OMG ROUND 2

http://www.abcgrrrl.com/2009/06/giveaway-winners.html

i seriously dont know what is going on right now, but im on a lucky streak. i totally want to fly out to vegas and gamble my heart out. im not a gambler but i'll try anything once! like i said before, i never ever win anything, and all of a sudden i won 2 giveaways in a row! wow, im like totally shocked!!

thank you so much E for holding your giveaway and giving me the opportunity to win :)

winning these giveaways are totally helping me curve the temptation to go out and buy myself a little something. i mean i havent purchased anything for my giveaway yet, but i do plan to. & i knooow i said i would buy anthing beauty related, but its for the giveaway! not for myself, so i think im allowed to do that. lol this shopping ban has been really hard on me, i fall to retail temptation easily and this is seriously the longest period of time where i havent purchased anything for myself. KUDOS TO ME! holler :) hahahaha

& with all my good luck lately i definitely need to pay it forward. i havent really figured it all out. i thought about adding one more prize to my giveaway, but 4 prizes seems like a bit much. then i thought about making the prizes bigger&better.. im not sure what i want to do yet. maybe i will do another giveaway once this one ends. i dont know, we'll just have to wait and see :)

but a big THANK YOU to all the ladies that have entered my giveaway so far. i love every single introduction post! i have gained a boat load of new followers, but i havent gotten very many entries, i hope that everyone who is following does an entry i would really love that.

im thinking about cutting the deadline. i know my time frame was a bit stretched out, but i figured it would give more people time to enter. i honestly started this giveaway as a way to thank my readers and i really dont want people to follow my blog for the pure fact of tryna get some free shit out of me. lol. thank you to everyone who submitted your answers to my other post. they really helped! so get your entries done ASAP! im going to cut the deadline, but i wont say when. it'll be a surprise.. its fucked up i know. hahah but you'll have atleast until fathers day (june 21) i will stop taking entries some time next week. have fun posting this weekend ladies!

AS PROMISED

here are the items that will be apart of my prize packages. i have more stuff, but i cant decide on what exactly will be the prizes yet. im so indecisive, lol

heres the box with all the junk in it



everything is NEW. i would never ever give away something i've used, yuuckie. i will swap it though, lol



& this is what i made for dinner the other night. it was so delicious :) wonton soup is the shit!!

YAY FINALLY!

this may not be exciting news for anyone but people who live in alaska but we are finally getting a Forever 21! soo exciting i can finally save myself the trouble of paying out the ass for shipping. shipping to alaska is always so EXPENSIVE. haha this may sound extremely lame, but alaska is so behind on retail stores. we just got a Target last year, our first Coach in 2007 and our first Kohls opened its doors in April 2009. shit, we got Abercrombie and Fitch in like 2002. we are seriously behind, i know.

im crossing my fingers for a Sephora. like that would seriously knock my socks off! or an H&M would be wonderful too. we dont even have an Express or a Victoria Secrets, its so depressing!

if you live in Anchorage and are jobless go check out the open interviews for Forever 21. they are looking for cashiers, management, head cashiers, stockers etc. Interviews are being held on June 18, 19 and 20 in the Dimond Center. stop by the old Gottschalk location in the Dimond Center for more details.

i would definitely apply if i was still in high school and could live off minimum wage, lol. but that store is a hot mess, it is way too much for me to handle. besides, retail is so not my thing. i used to work for victoria secrets and that seriously was a Panty Prison. i hated folding all those panties, but they gave out so many freebies it kind of made up for it. lol

i am totally hoping that this store opens before my giveaway ends so i can go pick up some goodies, but i doubt it. poooooooooooooooooooooooop :(

ohhh speaking of my giveaway. im going to be posting pictures of a few of the items i will be putting into my prize packages. i have like a whole small box of stuff so far. some of the items will be duo false lashes, fresh minerals trio eye palettes, and OPI nail polish. i will post pictures when i get home in a few ours, so i will leave you all in anticipation! lol

oh & i have a question:

1. do you think the deadline for my giveaway is too far stretched out?
- i know giving people about a month to do a contest entry is reasonable, but i keep thinking giving that much time for just a blog entry may be too much? i dont know, i think im just so excited to draw winners, lol. i wanna do it now! im so impatient

2. what type of items would you like to see in a giveaway prize package?
- i keep thinking of "great" or "useful" items to give away, but everyone has their own interpretation of those words, so let me know.. what would you like to see? especially since you may be the winner!

3. if you did win, could i mail you things in the future?
- haha not like a piece of my hair, or anything strange... but just to build a friendship. like if i got a sample of something i liked and i wanted you to try, or a letter cause i love you. hahah i sound so creepy... please dont be scared.

haha i hope everyone had a great monday! the week is almost over :)

OMG OMG OMG OMG!

GO WATCH THE VIDEO! I WATCHED IT 3 TIMES, IM SOOOOOO EXCITED! THANK YOU SO MUCH JEN! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU
i like seriously never win anything. i came second place in my elementary school spelling bee when i was in the 3rd grade and being 2nd place has haunted me ever since. im like flabbergasted i won! lol i told my boyfriend and he was like.. yay? i just totally cant believe it. yay for me :D this is definitely helping me since im on my little purchasing ban, ahhhhhh i still have like 46 days until it ends :(

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut good news! i've reached over 50 followers! woooooohoooooooo :D

so i have decided to add another prize to my current giveaway. so thats 3 prizes total. remember ladies the contest ends July 3!! i know thats like a lifetime away from right now, but get posting! i've gotten 4 blog entries so far and they were all so wonderful to read. i honestly didnt expect people to open up as much as they did. i love getting to know people and to really connect with them beyond a shared love of makeup. i totally love all you ladies who have entered (and who plan on entering!)

all 3 prizes will be equivalent in size, item numers and content. they wont be the same exact thing, but i will make then as similar as possible. i know i said i would post the prizes this weekend, but since i added 2 more prizes it'll have to wait until next weekend so i can get everything together. umm, there wont be anything uber delicious in the prizes like MAC or any other department store goodies cause im on a budget. haha please dont think im cheap!! i live in alaska so there arent a bunch of department stores around, i only have nordstroms (sad i know) but i will definitely make up for it with all the other goodies! i promise :)

all prizes will be shipped via USPS priority mail (flat rate boxes are the shiz!!). all winners must submit their mailing addresses to me with 5 days of the winners announcements. please submit your mailing addresss via e-mail. if i dont receive it with in 5 days i will forfeit your win and draw another name, sorry.

ohh and i plan on drawing winners by hand. im going to write everyones name and draw from a hat.. well not really a hat, is more like a container, but i thought that would be the fair way to play. i know a lot of people use random.org, but that would require me to count and shit, so i'll pass. hahha im adding names to the container as entries come in, and i will have someone other than myself draw the names when it comes time to choose a winner. YAY

if this giveaway is successful then i will try and hold one regularly.
