Annual survey + Favorite Things Giveaway

Hi friends! As we put the cherry on top of the 2020 dumpster fire and say ADIOS to this year, I wanted to take a minute to say thank you.

I don’t take this blog or the work I’m able to do for granted, ever. Every single day I’m excited to connect with all of you in this space which first began when the Pilot told me to “stop shopping online so much and find a hobby that doesn’t cost anything.” <— lol. The blog has grown and changed so much over the years, and whether you’re an OG blog reader (thank you!!!) or a new friend (hi! welcome!!), I hope you know how much I appreciate you hanging out with me over here.

Every click, comment, follow, like, product purchase, and pageview directly helps our family and I am sending you so much love and gratitude.

How about a little giveaway?

Each year, I put together some of my favorite products to surprise a lucky reader friend.

One lucky winner will receive the following prizes:

–  Beautycounter faves! (daily face SPF, Beyond Gloss in Bare Shimmer, Eye Rescue Cream, and Color Intense Lipstick in Brunch)

– A pair of APL sneakers (my go-to sneakers for workouts and life)

– A pair of Zella leggings (the BEST)

– A Mt. Lemmon candle (made locally here in Tucson!)

– A bag of Truvani protein powder

Sakara Life Beauty Chocolates (they taste so dang good)

I use this survey to plan out my content for the following year and your feedback is invaluable to me.

    In October I was able to enjoy a great trip with my sister and her family to upstate NY. It was extra special, since we’ve seen them so much less this year.

    I really enjoyed working from home during the initial lockdown, but sadly had to return to my office back in April. I’ve also really enjoyed all the time I’ve had to spend cooking in my kitchen.

  13. Erin on December 23, 2020 at 11:38 am

    My husband and I got a boat this year — such a great way to relax, social distance and get some vitamin D! 🙂

    The plus side of 2020 for me, a SAHM, was having my husband around more to help with my toddlers.

  17. Amy on December 23, 2020 at 12:07 pm

    I spend more time with my husband and son. I have greater flexibility at work. There is more balance in my life. In 2019, I was just going through the motions, overwhelmed by our too-busy lives. 2020 woke me up. I’m not going back!

  22. Kelly on December 23, 2020 at 12:52 pm

    I completed the survey!

  23. Myndie on December 23, 2020 at 12:56 pm

  36. Lisa Cullen on December 23, 2020 at 3:16 pm

    A happy memory from this last year is the fact that my 3 1/2-year-old daughter who has autism and apraxia has just recently started to say words!! She still has a long road ahead of her, but the fact that she has started to talk is the best thing we could’ve ever asked for!

  37. Bethany on December 23, 2020 at 3:20 pm

    My favorite memory of 2020 was the week I was able to spend with my family in July. We haven’t seen them since, and this is the longest we’ve ever gone. But it was such a special and fun time!

  38. Bethany on December 23, 2020 at 3:21 pm
