Weekly Moment of Gratitude + Winners, Winners, Winners! + Active Giveaway!

This week, I am grateful for:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  Some super fun events this month! It's been hard getting in all the recaps because of the holiday buying guide, but look for a recap during this week's Wordless Wednesday (or in my case not entirely wordless....)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - It's been an amazing shoe week, and you'll see a ton of footwear promos to close out our annual holidays buying guide. You'll be able to start your new year with some pep in your step! And don't worry my girly girls, we've got a beauty surprise coming too!

Hope all my butterflies are having an amazing weekend!

What are you grateful for today? I'd love for you to write in and share what you are grateful for this week. The more you say it, the more you speak it, and the more you live in gratitude, the more you will find reasons to be grateful for, and the more reasons that the universe will send you to be grateful for. So join me on this journey of gratitude and inspiration. And you can post here daily (even though my list will be posted weekly).

Weekly Moment of Gratitude + Winners Notified!

This week, I am grateful for:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  While I am always grateful I began blogging, this year I'm most grateful for the give back opportunities that have come from it. Throughout the year where I can share about products with heart, I gladly do, and when events offer giving back initiatives I'm also happy to attend and spread the word about them. While blogging does come with many gifts received, I'm more grateful for the ones I've given.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - I spent the weekend getting caught up so I can begin the week feeling a lot less stressed out and backed up.  The holidays buying guide will resume this week.

Hope all my butterflies are having an amazing weekend!

Sunday Moment of Gratitude! + Winners!

This week, I am grateful for:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - For the Smooth Cruise! I got to see Najee in concert on a Smooth Jazz sail. The weather was awful, it was pouring and no one was able to sit out on deck. For last year's sail, I sat out on the deck the entire sail and I enjoyed that serenity. Great music, great view, great company. This year when I realized I couldn't sit out on the deck, I wasn't so happy at first. I arrived on the ship, looking like a drowned rat, because despite my umbrella, the winds were making it so that I arrived wet anyway. So there I was wet, uncomfortable and forced indoors. But it truly turned out to be a blessing in disguise! I met great people that I would never have met if I sat on deck, and had a wonderful time. In fact, the cruise didn't even feel like it was the full time, because the time went so fast talking to everyone at my table! Spoiler Alert: OK, so it wasn't a movie, so this technically isn't a spoiler, but there will be an encore sail in October, and I'd highly suggest you keep checking our Today's Butterfly, because there may something special coming up for BOTH of us! :)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - The Help, that movie is a *MUST* see, as you can see Friday I gave you a teaser, and Tuesday I'll have a full review, but for a movie to make my Sunday gratitude list, you know it must be good!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - It was an incredibly busy week this week, between events and errands, I didn't feel like I had enough time to get everything done, but somehow I did. I'm filled with gratitude for my busy and productive week!

Sunday Moment of Gratitude! + Official Winners List for Dads N Grads June Buying Guide!

This week, I am grateful for:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - For being able to enjoy the Delta Faucet Event this week, I didn't think my schedule would permit me sneaking away that day, but I am so glad it did, it was not only informative but it was also very enjoyable. (And I discovered an awesome Prosecco too - Thanks Delta!)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - For Air Conditioning! With triple digit weather here in New York City coupled with high humidity, I've seen news stories of people actually collapsing from Heat Stroke, both above and underground on the subways. I'm truly grateful I got through this super hot week and weekend! How are you holding up where you live?

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - If you are a music nerd like I am (they don't call me the #TwitterPartyDJ for nothing), you'll understand this one, but I am truly grateful I was selected for the @Klout @Spotify Perk, if anyone needs a Spotify invite, feel free to DM me via Twitter @Tracy_Iglesias

What are you grateful for today? I'd love for you to write in and share what you are grateful for this week. The more you say it, the more you speak it, and the more you live in gratitude, the more you will find reasons to be grateful for, and the more reasons that the universe will send you to be grateful for. So join me on this journey of gratitude and inspiration. And you can post here daily (even though my list will be posted weekly).
