First Blog-iversary Celebration [& "Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette" Giveaway!]


Today is LunaVida's first birthday!

Guys, I can't believe it's my first blog-iversary! I feel like LunaVida has been such an amazing outlet for me over this past year. (I both smile and cringe at the same time when I look back at my first blog post ever.) It's grown into something I'm really proud of and still have such a fun time doing. I worried when I started working full time about how I'd possibly continue to blog full time. Thankfully, it's been a pretty easy transition since I still find it fun to do LunaVida. I won't lie though - sometimes I do feel overwhelmed and I have noticed a slight decrease in the number of posts I'm able to do. But overall LunaVida is something that I can't believe has turned into what it is. I feel like I've come a long way as a "blogger" and I can't wait to see what else is in store for LunaVida.

And, seeing as it is such a momentous day, a celebration is a must. What better way to celebrate than with a giveaway? My sister, Amanda, who blogs over at Vintage Lace & Pearls, and I are giving away an Urban Decay NAKED 3 Palette (which is valued at $52) to one lucky reader!

    I really like the product reviews! It's great to hear how real women feel. I also like the outfit compilations. Sometimes I have so much trouble trying to coordinating,especially accessories. I love seeing what you guys are wearing (plus it helps keep me up on trends)!
