Yay! You’re all still here! I didn’t scare you off with my crazy. Yet…Anyways, I’m feeling much better. The second glass of wine I’m drinking is definitely might be helping. It’s the little things, ya know…


Right now, some little things brightening my day…Essie Mint Candy Apple nail polish, Creme Brulee latte’s or whatever they’re called from the bux, surprise mail from blog friends, hair appointments (finally), Thursday night TV, texts from my bests while they’re at New Moon, and above mentioned wine. YAY.
Today I found out that I was featured on Handbago as a Fashion Blog they are currently loving and I’m very honored. Nearly drove me to tears, holy unstable, party of one. But seriously, so sweet! Made my day!!
Now I want to make your day. One of you. Or maybe a couple. My giveaways are usually sponsored by my FABULOUS sponsors to the left to the left, but this time I want to do one from me to you. Liz’s It’s the Little Things Giveaway. A way to thank you for holding it down for me day in and day out, making me laugh, cry and accepting me always. The thing is, I don’t know what exactly I’ll be sending…but I guarantee it’ll be fabulous and brighten your day. Little things I love, things I die over, and maybe some things I know you love too.

Attention fabulous lurkers/non commenters/twitter followers!!! I want you to enter this too. Got it? So just this once…do it kthx!

How about this? YOU brighten my day. Your friendship lights up my world. How lucky do I feel that we've met? So effing lucky! This giveaway is no surprise as you have one of the biggest and most fashionable hearts in the blogosphere!

2 Ams November 19, 2009 at 9:57 pm

Aw, Kristin stole my line…
Seriously, you make me smile. I enjoy that I am not alone with the shitty week, or the indecisions of life, that you are real and keep me real. I need that!
So MUAH lovely lady… keep the giveaways going :) I love 'em… and one day, just ONE day I might win!! haha Love you lady!

4 ema.leigh November 19, 2009 at 10:00 pm

omg… you totally STOLE my idea. Ok, so I admittedly stole it from another blogger. I still don't know what I want to give away yet. But I've def got somethin on my mind.

But… something that brightens my day?? Honestly- reading blogs. I read them almost everynight before I go to sleep… helps with my anxiety issues {I promise I'm normal too} and gives me something positive to think about while trying to fall asleep.

THEN… it REALLY brightens my day learning I have a new follower ORRRR a new comment.

xoxo

5 Rasha @ and this is what she said... November 19, 2009 at 10:15 pm

I don't mean to be a broken record, but you brighten my day… I said this in a comment a week or so ago, but I get all excited when I see a new post of yours in my blogroll – I can't wait to see what the haps are in your fab li'l world! :)

Other things that brighten my day… unexpected visits from my BF… my BFF's little boy… freshly manicured nails… an old-school hip hop groove that makes me get down with my bad self… its all random, but little things make me smile!

xoxo J

10 Nina (Femme Rationale) November 19, 2009 at 10:41 pm

13 Shrimp Salad Circus November 19, 2009 at 11:14 pm

Hey darling,

I might qualify as a 'lurker' because I typically read but don't necessarily comment. I digress – I think we currently share roughly the same state of mind, so I just wanted ya to know I'm thinking about you, and happy happy birthday again!!!

23 The Haute-Shopper November 20, 2009 at 2:32 am

Wait… things you love… it's a Balmain giveaway?? ;-) I hope you're having a better day today.. TGIF! What brightens my day is seeing or hearing from my favorite non-fake genuine people… I consider you one of them! Of course Starbucks goes a long way as well… you know I'm' still bummed they never introduced the Pumpkin Latte over here? sigh…

24 mint November 20, 2009 at 2:33 am

a good weather brightens my day for sure. not too hot and not too cold. lol

25 Meghan November 20, 2009 at 3:35 am

Just like everyone else, you really DO brighten my day – your posts are so open and honest and they always put a smile on my face. I am also brightened by my daily Starbucks, snuggling with my hubby right before the alarm goes off, and anything and everything Urban Outfitters. Oh, and owls! Is that weird???

26 nicole addison November 20, 2009 at 5:18 am

27 Miss Kriss November 20, 2009 at 5:38 am

I luuuurrrrve you! You, my friend, are absolutely fabulous! I can honestly tell you that YOU are consistently brightening my day! (And from the looks of things, it seems like you are totally brightening everyone else's days as well!) Even when you're totally way too busy and important, you always take a little bit of time to check in and say something incredibly fabulous that totally makes me feel like a rockstar. Even when you don't have to, you post giveways on your blog out of your pocket with your own money. That's the kinda girl that you are! And that's why everyone loves you!!

28 Adorably Distracted... November 20, 2009 at 5:38 am

30 -city-love- November 20, 2009 at 5:48 am

what brightens my day?? my little puppy :) and my bf of course..its our 3 years today so that should brighten my weekend ;)

31 Marjorie November 20, 2009 at 5:48 am

I'm going to have to go with Alicia on "kids that sleep past 6am". That would be pretty fabulous. I also love when the Monster randomly runs over and hugs me and whispers "I love you mommy". Nothing beats that except for maybe if when that happens I have a nice glass of wine in one hand and some sort of yummy dessert in the other. THAT would be perfect!

32 alissa November 20, 2009 at 5:51 am

hmm i can tell you anything…
id like to take this opportunity to quote from one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time:
Tommy Boy.

ahem.

"Richard, whos your favorite little rascal? Is it alfalfa?
Or is it…spanky?
Sinner."

33 Summer B. November 20, 2009 at 6:03 am

Featured? YAY! I am not surprised and slightly jealous in a good way! That polish is mine. I want it now. I need to find it. I have been wanting the Chanel green but not willing to fork over the cash for it.

Um, dude. Seeing you smile brightens me up. Seeing a text or email from you makes me do jumps – up and down and sideways!

I heart you SOOOOO much.

Call or text or IM me after you get my novel of an email.

xoxox

34 SG November 20, 2009 at 6:10 am

Lady YOU brighten my day. Yes YOU! Thank you so much for the sweet comments on my post and I can't wait to read your novel of an email.

I'm so happy to I've found you and I know you are there to offer up any support I may need. You are the bestest of the best and I heart you big time!

What brightens my day? Sorry to steal from Kristen, but truly, it's you. I love your brutal honesty, and the way you open yourself up to strangers without any care as to what they may think of you. So much of the time you're discussing things that I'm going through in my own life, yet I'm too scared to share it with anyone else. You're not. That's what brightens my day! :)

43 Amber November 20, 2009 at 6:41 am

This may be creepy, but while I was at my hair appointment I was thinking…"hmmm..I wonder when unbeweavable Liz is getting her hair done…I wonder if she is blonde already" (because I've been gone for awhile and haven't caught up on blogs yet). But I can't wait to see the new do!!

Have a great weekend, Liz!

Love brightens my day and so many other countless delights such as:
my little crumb's laughter
my puglet's snores
my hubby's warm caress
champagne
fresh warm bread
hearing a friend's voice on the phone
saying i love you to my grandmother
listening to the sea lions bark in the bay
watching the rain drops roll down the leaves of my blossoming lemon tree
I could go on and on and on…

77 Tights Lover November 20, 2009 at 12:21 pm

What a fun idea to do a suprise giveaway. I found your blog about 2 weeks ago and now follow you via googlereader and twitter.

What brightens my day? Usually talking to my fiance who is going to medical school in Iowa, 1,300miles away from where I live at the moment. Whenever I see my cell phone light up with his number or get a text message from him, it just makes me so happy and realize I can get through the day because that just means I'm so much closer to getting to move to where he is and be with him.

83 Care November 20, 2009 at 3:31 pm

what brightens my day? light LA traffic (that never happens) other than that? lunch time and quittin time… oh, and sunshine. Would love to win your give-away! I love free shizzzzzzzzzzzzz. :)

I sound like an alkie, but I do! but other things that brighten my day (in no particular order) include Hazel, friends, bloggy friends, singing loudly, a grande pumpkin spice latte (or if it's hot out, a venti passion tea lemonade with raspberry sweetner!) and a bit of etsy shopping. yes, I have a problem.

oh, and of course I'd love the chance to get something fabulous from you! :)

btw, I'm making my holiday cards this weekend so if you wanted me to send you one and don't feel weird giving me your address, you should totally email it to me, cuz I'd love to send you one!

91 Melissa Blake November 20, 2009 at 4:45 pm

93 Courtney November 20, 2009 at 5:40 pm

De-lurking. Totally willing to own my 'lurker' status… :) A couple of things make my day. First and foremost, a nice glass (three) of red wine. The house to myself (currently living with mom and her hubbie – silence is golden!). A brand new In-Style magazine. New cosmetics – not an every day occurrence, but such a pleasure when I have them!!

94 brittany November 20, 2009 at 6:05 pm

112 wonderfelle November 21, 2009 at 7:46 pm

i recently came across your blog from one of my daily reads and have basically devoured your posts… i love how candid you are! and i'm admitedly a little jealous whenever i come across a blog that seems so personal – it's something i have to avoid with my blog (nature of my job… sigh.) anyway, just saying hi (don't want to have lurker status!)

113 mommara November 21, 2009 at 9:50 pm

Hi, I'm new and a follower now. I came over from your super cute post on MrsB's blog. Showers make me happy! Weird huh? But, I love to sit in the shower and let the water run over me. It's one of the only times a day I have alone time (SAHM to a 16m old. ) So this second a shower makes me happy. Now I'm off to take one. Can't wait to read you blog and get to know you :)

What brightens my day?

Reading a blog of someone else who understands the word "homies." I use that and East Coasters go: what?

Besides obsessively reading your blog, visiting my other bloggin beauties and Twitter friends.

The soft way the Mr. addresses me, even though he never ever uses babyvoices for anyone else, including babies and puppies.

The smell of new shoes and the sound crinkled paper inside new shoeboxes makes when you lift a new pair out of the box.

Holiday cookies.

xx D

P.S. Congratulations girl on the shoutout! You're doing so well. I love it.

115 Ashlee November 22, 2009 at 3:44 am

finding money in my jean pockets .. or any pockets for that matter

when olivia is busting a gut laughing.

when hubs comes and run up and hugs and kisses me.

a good cup of coffee. blogs. and alone time.

116 Keith November 22, 2009 at 7:26 am

Hey there. How are you doing today? I hope you've been having a fantastic weekend. Take care. Have a great week ahead. Cheers!

120 Kari November 22, 2009 at 2:06 pm

When I see my employees demonstrate something we talked about..makes me realize they DO listen when I talk and I am not just using up oxygen.

I also like reading blogs (like yours) and realizing that everyone has bad days…and its not just me!

121 Katie November 22, 2009 at 2:09 pm

I must say that I do read your blog but these days the comments are far and few between..you know why! Thank you though for your notes of encouragement and your prayers! I like!
Hmmm…something that brightens my day…for sure starbucks but then to walk into my mans hospital room and have his eyes follow me all around the room! I also love the kisses he gives me…he cannot say he loves me yet but I know he does! That surely brightens my day!!

122 Ashley November 22, 2009 at 3:46 pm

I just wanted to thank you so much for leaving that comment on my rant post, it made me feel a ton better knowing that just one person out there understood what I was saying :) You're the best!

Do you have my email address? You can email me through my blog.

I have the best news ever; I got an A- on my midterm. That totally made my day…even though I was slightly let down..

131 Mallory November 23, 2009 at 6:18 am

:( for not being able to get your hair done this weekend, do you follow tay on twitter? I think she posted where she gets hers done, maybe you could go to the same place if it isn't crazy expensive?

oh and my favorite little thing? unexpectedly getting to leave work early and cuddling with my pup all afternoon :) always makes me feel 100x better!

132 Hilary November 23, 2009 at 11:42 am

Cute texts/phone calls from loved ones brighten my day :)

…oh, and finding a great pair of heels/boots haha.

xoxo

133 samantha November 23, 2009 at 12:02 pm

Lately, planning a snowy ski village trip with my best pals has been brightening my day. Shopping for silly furry earflap hats definitely does, too.

And hot apple cider. And the sidewalk espresso man telling me I look like a princess. And when a bright fall leaf falls of the tree and lands right at my feet while I'm walking.

134 Ela November 23, 2009 at 5:04 pm

Amazing friends like you (sorry I'm not always present) that I've met through bloggyland truly brigthen my day. So freakin' lucky and blessed to have met some amazing people that I know otherwise would not have been possible.
