featured sponsors: chrissy & jen

last week we met kassi & kayli of truly lovely blog & this week i'm introducing to you to my other two ladies.

  meet chrissy of whimsical poppysmic!  i've enjoyed reading her blog posts and following her on instagram.  her and her daughter, leonie, currently reside in germany (how fun!) and always up  to some kind of fun activity. 

they just finished a cute little easter display using real egg shells that is beyond cute & she made french knots that would anyone swoon.

be sure to check out her etsy shop for some really cute items, like jewelry and wall art.

______________________________________________________________

meet jen! she blogs over at freckle on the nose & currently resides in north carolina. she has two adorable kitties, ollie & josie, who she spoils like children.  she also has a man in her life, keith (pictured above)

be sure to stop by her little blog & see all her DIY inspiration & life adventures.

thanks again to all my march sponsors!!

if you are interested in sponsoring in april, i still have spots on open.

featured sponsor: truly lovely blog

this month, i had the pleasure of having a handful of totally awesome sponsors.  first up are two ladies who i've enjoyed getting to know & cant wait to share with you! they are a bloggin' sister duo which makes them twice the fun.

meet kassi!! she married her sweet husband back in july & they've been living happily ever since.. did you know they've known each other forever? check out their about me page to hear about her first letter from the now husband.

besides her normal 8-5 job, she also sells scentsy! so if youre in the need for some super awesome smelling scentsy, visit her shop to pick up the latest scents.

when shes not work or at a roping competition watching her husband compete, you can most certainly find her completing some sort of DIY project that even makes martha stewart jealous.  the blog is full of DIY tutorials and pictures, make any project look like a cinch!

meet kayli!  shes the younger of the two truly lovely ladies & i recently just wished her a happy birthday! she currently is attending college where she is studying to be an english teacher. 

when shes not studying proper grammar and writing a jillion papers, you can find her hosting a series on their blog called ten weeks of thanks.

if you havent already done so, be sure to head over to Truly Lovely & tell them Bethani sent you.

thanks again to kassi & kayli for sponsoring cheers, bethani.

its january 18 + a winner

so its been a couple of days since i have posted anything.  my brain has been so tired from all this allergy mess, that i couldnt come up with a darn thing to blog about. nothing was really grabbing my attention. so i just let my little blog take a rest until today.  we have a winner from the jandmseyecandy giveaway and i figured i would just do a little update post.

first updates.  the shop is moving right along.  i actually just got my first custom order a few days ago & i love custom orders. they make me smile - mainly because people are trusting me to make their special day extra perfect. thats what i've been working on this week, plus playing around with a couple of card ideas to put in the shop. trying to perfect the outcome, so it might be this weekend before they go up.  

also i'm waiting to hear back from heartsy on a submission i put a few weeks ago. it would be a huge opportunity to get my name out there, but if i get accepted, its going to be lots and lots of long hours and late nights working to get myself ready for my feature.  hopefully i get selected - i will keep you posted on this.

and now for the winner of our giveaway.......

if your name is kassi and you are the blogger from Truly Lovely, you have won.  please contact me within 48 hours to claim your prize. otherwise a new winner will be selected.  

thank you to everyone who entered and thank you to Kristine for this awesome giveaway!
i'm putting together the group feature and i should have that ready to go tomorrow.   
also thinking of hosting a giveaway for something fun.. still working on the details.  should have something soon.

have a fab wednesday everyone!

sponsor feature: kristine of jandmseyecandy

so this is a big day for cheers, bethani! it is our very first individual sponsor post.  i couldnt be more excited about the opportunity to have sponsors & really get to know the people who reside on my sidebar each month.

our first feature is a lady i have really enjoyed getting to know.  its actually quite funny how i met her.  i had gotten a gift card to her shop for christmas from another sponsor of mine & had the chance of creating my own pieces.  and then one thing let to another, she won a large ad space, and ta-da, here we are.  so without much further ado, here's kristine!

blog  //  twitter  //  ETSY  //  bloglovin  //  facebook

kristine resides in utah, with husband and adorable children.  she had originally decided to start this shop with her sister in law, but just recently taken over as operator of both the shoppe and her blog.  her shop is full of all things frilly and beautiful. from hair accessories to earrings, even a little jewelry as well, you can definitely find something for every taste. 

 i recently "sat down" with kristine to get her thoughts on why she started the shop, what she would be doing if she didn't own jandmseyecandy and a whole lot more.

1.) What made you decide to open a shop? Sell the items your selling? 

Kristine: I've always loved fashion, even tho I don't consider myself as very "fashionable" When I was preggers with my 1st baby girl I started experimenting with anything and everything girly I could make for her. With encouragement from family and friends, I started an Etsy Shoppe with my SIL.

2.) How did you come up with the name of your shop?
Kristine: Since I opened up the shoppe with my SIL we knew we wanted to incorporate our girls into everything we did. They truly are our inspiration. J&M = Jayden&Maggie for my niece and my daughter.

3.) If you weren't operating your shop, what would your dream job be?
Kristine:To open up an actual in store boutique, selling my handmade goodness :)

4.) Any advice to people thinking about opening a business?
Kristine: YOU CAN DO IT! My best advice would be to network! Put yourself out there and meet people who love doing the same things you do, and heck even step out of your comfort zone, it's good for you! The inspiration and lessons you'll learn from each other is simply amazing! I've only been doing this since May 2010, and some of my friends thru "bloggy" world are some of my best supporters in my every day life. I feel blessed to have met so many wonderful, amazing, inspiring women!

And not only did Kristine answer these questions and give some terrific advice she is offering one lucky lucky reader a wonderful gift:

 your very own lace bloom headband!

winner gets their choice of bloom color & headband size.



let me tell you, i got two of these of my very own

a black bloom with pearl center

&

tis the season for drama. makeup that is.

Thanks to L'Oreal for sponsoring my post about my favorite beauty looks, tips and tricks! Check out Makeup.com for beauty advice from the experts.

its that time of year when millions of women are rifling through their closets and makeup compartments looking for the perfect ensemble for the holiday parties that they are dragging their husbands to and vice versa.  and while many women keep the same look all year long, there is a handful of us out there, who dare to be different each and every holiday season.  its a new shade of lipstick or different color nail polish to offset previous year looks.

I for one am no different.  winter brings the opprotunity for a countless options when it comes to outfits and make up.  and if anyone knows me like i know me, I love changing my mind and trying something new all the time.  and this year I'm definitely going to dare to be bold. at least once anyway. tis the season for a drama!

from brilliant reds to handfuls of sparkle, winter needs every pep of zest it can get to overcome the dreary rain, cold gusts of wind and piles of snow that blanket the ground. and I plan on doing just that.

I've gathered a few items that I'm daring to try this year.  Some of them I've already thrown into effect, like the glittery nail polish, which I must say I absolutely love.  Love so much that I plan on adding a few more sparkly colors to the collection, even have it on my Christmas wish list for the year.. And like I tell myself, you never get too old for glittery nail polish.  Its one of those items that makes you smile, adds fun to your life, without breaking the bank.

As far as the other three items go, I've dabbled in them, but never really given a giant commitment into trying them for a considerable amount of time. From winged eye liner to red-red lipstick to the va va voom eyelashes, each of them will find their way into my life this holiday season.

I was able to find several good videos to help me achieve my desired look for each of these items and am happy to share them with all of you.  There are quite a few different tutorials that are offered including the cat eye winged eyeliner & the perfect red lip.  Little did I know there is actually a correct way of acheiving the perfect red lip.  I figured you just threw some lipstick on and tada, good as gold.  But this video definitely changed my mind on that.

I hope this holiday season, you dare to try something new & different. If you do, let me know, and I would love to see your results or tutorials that helped you achieve that look.
