hope you had a fantastic weekend and a lot of relaxation. Are you ready to start a new week?? I’m actually excited to see what this week might bring. Making plans for new posts & projects for my blog, as i’m feeling very enthusiastic these days. What about you? It’s monday and that means, we are going to have another {Friendly Bunch Blog Hop}!
To make it even more successful, than the last time, you’re all invited to participate! Don’t be shy!
This week, we are really excited to have such an amazing lady as our co-host. She is a Scottish Girl, who is a self confessed shoppaholic, polka dots, sparkles and lipstick lover, with a passion for beauty and photography. She is always up for a fun challenge or an exciting tag (and knows exactly how to rock a red lipstick!).
If you’re a fan of Clarins, MAC and Chanel, you’re going to love her product reviews & monthly favorites posts. I would highly recommend to look at her 30 before 30 challenge. And what should also be mentioned, is that her monthly giveaways have been legendary! Meet our co-host for this week: {A Scottish Lass}
If you are interested in co-hosting the blog hop, please email Nia.
Now in our share section today, we have an interesting beauty secret to share. Quite a number of you most likely have at least 1 MAC lipstick. Well, not everyone has access to them or can justify paying for them at that price. So we found a post about MAC dupes on Life Unsweetened which seemed like a must share. Take a look.
Isn’t that awesome?! Getting almost the same shade for half the price. We would definitely not say no to that. If you would like to see the entire post, please visit Life Unsweetened.

happy monday! You know what that means, right?
It’s time for another fresh week of the exciting Friendly Bunch Blog Hop action. It was a big success last week and we are happy to invite you ones again to a fun journey through the blogosphere. Stop by all the lovely blogs and don’t forget to tell them how they were found! Spread the word & let’s enjoy the ride!
This week we are glad to be joined by a lovely lady as our co-host. She has a gorgeous blog where you can find many different posts on beauty, fitness and knitting. So we highly recommend that you stop by her blog.
If you are interested in co-hosting the blog hop, please contact Nia.
Now, in our share section this week we have a DIY glass jar pen holder for $1. Or in better relation to the beauty world, brush holder. It is a really simple process shared by Jenna at SAS Interiors, plus it costs almost nothing.
If you want something a little bit more fun for your brushes, you can put labels on them, cover the section you want in glue and add glitter, or even spray paint them. There are so many different options. So, if you would like to see the full post on how to make these, please visit SAS interiors.

it’s Day 21 in the May Photo a Day challenge and the topic is: “I care about this“. Seriously, i could have talked about so many different things, that i care about in life, like dear people, my goals and values… But i decided to talk about this blog and it’s news today.
So first of all this is a big Thank you to everyone who participated in all the little and big help to make this blog grow little by little. I know i’m still in the beginning with it, but i feel that it’s going up the right way.
Some of you helped me with tips and tricks about the social media in general, other gave their expertise on the transition from basic WordPress to a self-hosted site, which i’m seriously thinking about as well. (yes i’m slow with this, i know.) And one of my very favorite bloggers Donah from SweetJellyBeanwent even further and lent me her helping hand with the blog design. So everyone who was saying nice words about the new banner – i’m forwarding all the credits to Donah.
(Thank you dearest!)
Recently i hit over 500 blog followers (via WordPress and email) as well as over 20.000 views, which is fabulous. I know to some it might not seem like a huge deal, but i’m really really thankful for that.
Here is also a big shout out to my over 1000 Twitter followers. Many of you i literally got to know over the Twitter platform and we became friends and blogging buddies. I seriously love this vivid and informative exchange with you, my Beauties.
After HelloCotton had to shut down (i was really sad about it), most of us have moved to Bloglovin’ – another great platform to follow your favorite bloggers from all around the world.
A big Hello to my (almost) 400 Bloglovin’ followers there.
Thanks for readings my posts & all your comments.
As i dont want to bore you with all the stats, i’m going to tell you about my two newest projects on the blog,
which some of you might already been seeing around. First is my “Sunday Read“ – that will provide you with exciting posts, that i find over the week, that are definitely worth sharing with my audience.
As well as my “Friendly Bunch Blog Hop“, that i host together with Nia from Cherryfashion, starting every monday. A fun way to link up, spread the word about your own blog/shop and get an easy connection with new fabulous bloggers and their lifestyle, beauty and fashion posts. Everyone is invited to participate.
Last thing i would like to mention, are the two wonderful blogs, that i have the honor to be a sponsor of this month. I’m sure most of you already know these two beautiful ladies: Nykki from Nykki talks Beauty and Miss Angie from My so-called Chaos. Left column is from Nykki talks Beauty (see, even in this Nia & I are together!) and right column is from My so-called Chaos.
Visit their blogs and say Hi from me.
I hope it was alright to share the recent updates with you, my readers. If you have suggestions or ideas for upcoming posts, don’t hesitate to leave me a comment below or send me an email.
Love to hear from you guys! Until next time – stay beautiful.
Last time i co-hosted this Friendly Bunch Blog Hop, its was a real success and many of you left me a great feedback
about how much fun it was, so keep linking up with us and don’t forget to check out the other blogs. Welcome to edition #13 of our blog hop.
When Nia had the idea of making me the second permanent host of this great project,
i instantly knew it was the right thing to do, since i love to connect with you on the blogosphere and via Twitter.
And since i started blogging, i came across many talented new bloggers through different kind of blog hops.
So i already knew, that Blog Hops really do work, if done right!
It’s just a fun and really simple way to find and follow people with similar interests from all around the world.
As from today i have the honor to be one of the actual hosts of this Friendly Bunch Blog Hop.
If you are ever interested in co-hosting, please email me.
