$25 SEPHORA Giveaway!!

I love love love me some Sephora! They have such a wide variety of makeup, skincare, perfume, and hair care options that I never leave there empty handed. My newest purchase from Sephora is the Sephora Collection Professional Platinum Angled Eyeliner Brush #23. Its slanted design makes it not only ergonomic, but super easy to achieve a smooth line with minimal effort! Loooves it!

Too often for us Moms our up-keep isn’t a priority. Our kids come first, and I know that after my daughter is taken care of I could care less that my hair isn’t combed and looks like fireworks or that my nail polish is chipping. Horribly. Our priorities as Moms definitely change once we become parents, and I don’t spend nearly the same amount of money on my hair or nails as I did before my daughter. Just like Tara over at The Young Mommy writes in her post Making Time for Pretty “I used to be a product junkie. Hardcore. If there was an anonymous support group I would have gone weekly” Giiirl I was there!

While I mentioned busy Moms, this giveaway is open to everyone, Mom or not!!

So here is my gift to 1 reader. A $25 Sephora giftcard! But, you must promise that you’ll purchase something for YOU! Not a new hair product for your child, or gift for a spouse. This is about YOU ladies. So take advantage!!

You have the option of winning a Sephora e-giftcard which can only be redeemed online at Sephora. Or you can choose to have a Sephora giftcard mailed to you.

Alica@Mommy Delicious Logitech WebCam Giveaway!

I want to SHOUTOUT Alicia@ Mommy Delicious! Heyyyy Girrrrl!! Alicia is a fellow young and fabulous mommy hailing from NYC! She is the proud mommy to cutie Aiden and grad student at Columbia – get it girl!! I've had the pleasure of getting to know Alicia through both of our blogs, and she is a phenomenal young lady.

Alicia is running a fab-tastic giveaway for ONE lucky reader who’ll receive a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 valued at 99.00 ya’ll! Yep you heard it right, a giveaway for a FREE webcam!! I have entered and *hope* I win so I can record video blog posts! Yep, I have been wanting too, but the whole lack of a web cam has kept me from pursuing that small dream. 

So I urge you to go over to enter the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 giveaway and stop by and comment on Alicia’s witty and sassy posts and journey through mommyhood! In her latest post Fashion, Fun, and Beauty with Momtrends, Alicia talks about a fab-tastic event she went to in NYC in which she received a FREE Bobbi-Brown makeover and yummy treats!

We've reached 50 followers...THANK YOU!!!

Wow, Mommy Glow has reached 50 followers WOO-HOO!! Just wanted to say thank you thank you to all my glow-tastic followers for all of your support and guidance along this journey. I was very nervous to create Mommy Glow I was afraid that people wouldn't want to listen to what a young mom would have to say. I was afraid my voice would be overlooked. But you all have helped me and guided me and given me amazing advice and have kept me writing.

I thank you.

And I hope you all continue following as I make my way through this maze called life.

Mary Kay Giveaway coming in the next few days!!!

Stressed with Finals, but I'm bacccck!!

I want to apologize to all my fabulous readers for my lack of posts recently. 

It seemed like all of the sudden I had 456 tasks to complete and only a limited amount of time to complete them. Stressed doesn't even begin to explain how I was feeling.

Do you know that show on Food Network called Dinner Impossible...well for the past 2 weeks I've felt like I was living Life Impossible. 

I work full time, I was enrolled in 4 classes, I'm a single mom, I have personal training twice a week, a blog, 2 freelance writing opportunities, a house to unpack, a car to fix, weight to lose, and oh ya, myself to think about. I was over my head with no one to rescue me or throw me a life-jacket. Well...I guess that's my fault. I've been alienating a lot of people lately, but I feel like I'm now able to see people for who they really are. And I don't want them in my life. Its really hard though. It's hard leaving people behind, but I have to do whats best for me and my daughter. And if your not helping and supporting me then I don't have the time to spend on you. Is that too harsh?? But now of course like I don't have anyone on my team, no one to call when I just need to vent or cry or just talk too.

Well anyways, I can breathe a sigh of relief...but only for 2 days because summer classes start on Tuesday, exciting!!(NOT!) And I have no idea how I am going to pay for my books for school...sigh.....

How do you deal with immense amounts of stress? 

Well enough ranting and raving:

Happy Fourth of July, hope you all have a great and safe weekend.

More posts to come this week, and stay tuned for Mommy Glow's first GIVEAWAY from Mary Kay!!
