2012 New Year Blogging Party

Photobucket


This month, I participated in the 2012 New Year Blogging Party hosted by:

Casey of  The Weigand's
Alycia of Crowley Party
Danielle of Changing Lanes

Let me tell you, this is the funnest thing I have done since I started blogging! I'm so happy I decided to participate. I was paired with two lovely ladies, Jayme & Mendi, from Her Late Night Cravings.

Do you like fashion?
Make-up?
How about beauty product reviews?
They would definitely be the pair of gals to go to for a great nail polish recommendation!

While getting to know them via their blog and through e-mail, I think we exchanged some pretty good ideas as to what the three of us enjoy! I can only hope that they like what I sent them as much as I LOVE what I received from them!

Drum roll please......






Not only did they pick out some amazing products for me to try and a gorgeous yellow scarf for me to wear, but they also did their part in trying to help me learn some french! 
*Note the names of the nail polishes!*

Make sure to head over to their blog, follow them, and see the gifts that I sent them!

Thank you sooo, so much!
And a big thank you to Casey, Danielle, and Alycia for putting this whole blogger party together!

PS.
To Mendi & Jayme - 
I did NOT own either of the Essie's you sent! :)
