giveaway day: win a scentsy buddy + scent pak!

it's giveaway day, yay!

today's giveaway is brought to you by jessica norris, independent scentsy consultant.  and giveaways don't get much cuter than this.  let's cut to the chase, shall we?

most people have heard of scentsy, yes?  the cute little warmers that melt the delicious smelling waxes which make your home smell all delicious & dreamy instead of burning those dangerous fire-inducing candles?  yes?  ok then, we're on the same page.

but have you heard of scentsy buddies?  cutest things ever.  they are plush little stuffed animals that come with an opening for you to insert a crazy-good smelling scentsy pouch.  you'll probably have a hard time picking your favorite.  we did.

we ended up picking "roarbert the lion" because it was basically the only animal parker doesn't have in his insanely large collection of stuffed animals.  but the elephant was a close second.  or the monkey.  or any of them.  check them all out here.

we love him.  clearly.

so now you get a chance to win a scentsy buddy + scent pak of your choice, courtesy of jessica!  thanks jess!

here's how you enter {mandatory}:
•  visit jessica's online store & tell me which scentsy buddy you would pick!

bonus entries {leave a seperate comment for each}:
•  "like" jessica's blog fan page on facebook.
•  follow jessica's blog, "a snapshot of our life"
•  be a follower of my blog.
•  spread the word about this giveaway on your personal twitter or facebook.  something along the lines of "enter to win a Scentsy Buddy of your choice from @amy_agoodlife {if using twitter} @A Good Life {if using facebook} today!"

there ya go, more ways to enter than you can shake a stick at.

can't wait to win your scentsy buddy?  order directly from jessica before december 13 & get free shipping on your order AND have it guaranteed to arrive before christmas!  be sure to mention i scent ya.  get it?  scent!  HA.

giveaway ends tuesday, december 13 at 11:59 am.  winner must respond within 24 hours with their shipping information & choice of scentsy buddy in order to guarantee arrival before christmas!

november {medium} sponsor love!

here are a few more new blogs & fun shops for you to check out!  and be sure you do.  they're some of my favorites!

I'm Ashley, and I blog over at The Shine Project.

I created The Shine Project at the beginning of this year to motivate others to go after their goals, and spread their light to others. I believe that service is the best way to feel happiness and love in our lives, and I created SHINE necklaces to help remind us of our daily purpose.

Money from each necklace sold goes into a scholarship fund to help inner city high school students go to college. You can read more about that HERE and HERE. The Shine Project is in the process of becoming a Non-Profit organization so that thousands more students can have a positive future.

october large sponsors are rad.

have you noticed that "rad" is kinda my new word?  the weird thing is that i don't think i've said it out loud once.  i just call things rad in my head & in my blog apparently.  anywho, here are the awesome people who believe in this little internet space i call home enough to actually sponsor it.  they're rad.  see for yourself:

jessica from scentsy.

who hasn't heard of scentsy?  i'm pretty sure only people living under a rock.  we love our scentsy warmer & i pretty much want to drink the wax out of the dish since the smells are so tasty.  but then again i tend to get all the food-related ones like "toasted sugar cookie", "baked apple pie" & "sticky cinnamon bun" so i really only have myself to blame.

and have you seen scentsy buddies?  ummm, pretty much some of the cutest little stuffed animals ever.  and add in the yummy smell pack factor?  heaven scent.  ha!  i'm so punny.

good news:  jess sent us our very own scentsy buddy to try out {we got "roarbert the lion"}.

better news:  she's giving one away on this here blog very very soon.  stay tuned.

{shop}

jamie from lilybaby

by now ya'll should be used to seeing jamie, owner & mastermind behind lilybaby, & her pretty face around these blog parts.  but how much did you guys love her teepee giveaway?  i loved it long time.  

didn't win?  bummer.  you should probably go check out her etsy shop asap & treat yourself to some retail therapy by picking up an "avery hoodie" {i know you all love that one} or a super cute dress for that little lady in your life.  you won't regret it.  jamie's items come at ya completely handmade by herself with love & skill jampacked into each stitch.  promise.

amy from photography by amylee

ok yes, this one is me.  shameless self-promotion.  don't hate... you would do it too.  and while we're talking about it, ya need any pictures done?

now go shop!  

and maybe even vote?  

a good life giveaway! - {Lilybaby Teepee}

it's giveaway day, yay!

today's giveaway comes atcha from a real life friend of mine, jamie.  jamie is a super talented seamstress & can whip up pretty much anything with a few pieces of fabric, some coffee & a few hours in the middle of the night.  because that's when she crams in all her work designing & creating items for her amazing shop lilybaby!  the rest of her time is spent wrangling these two super cute munchkins.

bad news?  right now her etsy shop is a little on the empty side.  she's been kept very busy lately filling custom orders so her on-hand items aren't many.  good news though?  she is available for custom orders & does an amazing job with items all across the board.  crib bedding, hoodies, dresses, you name it i bet she'll do a rockstar job at creating it.

more good news: today she is giving away a teepee to one of my readers.  yup, just like p-ray's teepee seen below, this could be yours.

i'll let parker take it from here.

"here's the outside... here's me in the inside... and now here's me running around in the yard eating an apple off the ground.  catch ya later!"

so how can you get a teepee like this for yourself?**

**please read this before entering:
the teepee is held up by moderately long pvc pipe poles which would be really difficult to ship.... SO:

• if you live in washington state in the greater seattle/south puget sound-ish area, jamie is willing to give away the main canvas along with a set of poles & come meet you to deliver the goods.  

• if you live out of the seattle area she will ship you the canvas with pvc pipe pole specifications.  it's super easy to go to home depot & have them cut the poles & it costs less than $10.00.  so please don't let this be a deterant from entering!

ok, now that the fine print's out of the way, here's how to enter:

• visit lilybaby's etsy shop & comment here telling me what you'd love to have!

and bonus!  you can do any number of these bad boys for extra entries:

• "like" lilybaby on facebook & tell jamie wether you're local or would need to have the teepee shipped out of the area. 

• follow lilybaby's blog.

• favorite lilybaby's shop on etsy.

there ya go!  four chances to win & as always, leave a separate comment for each entry ya do.  giveaway ends october 10 at 11:59 pst.

and remember, if you live out of the seattle area, please only enter if you're willing to go buy the poles for the teepee!  many thanks.

also?  many thanks for many votes too.  thank you thank you thank you.
