a giveaway//diamond candles

A few weeks ago I received an email from this amazing candle company. Diamond Candles. we chatted about doing a giveaway and review. I was so excited to choose a candle of my very own. It was sure hard to choose which one I wanted. 

I ended up getting the black raspberry vanilla. Oh boy was that a good choice. Smells so dang yummy! You see, not only do you get a sweet candle when you order one. There is a secret ring hidden inside the candle. Yes, I said hidden in the candle. The rings in the candles are worth anywhere from $10, $100, $1,000, or $5,000. pretty sweet huh? The ring I got {which I failed to get a pic of for the post!} didn't have a special sticker on it so it's probably just a $10 one. Still pretty though! The rings are well wrapped to protect from the wax and after burning for several hours pretty easy to get out without ruining your candle. Not to mention the candles are huge and have plenty of burning time. I love me big candles! 

Want to know more about this awesome company? Read below: 

"We are so glad you are here! If you don't know much about us yet we have real rings worth $10, $100, $1,000, or $5,000 in every single earth friendly, all natural soy candle that we make.

The combination of highly fragrant premium quality soy candles, an exciting and fun 'ring reveal' experience (what ring will you find?), and a ring to wear for months and years to come means making something as boring as burning candles in your home something to look forward to.

Once you burn your candle down and find your ring, head over to facebook and upload a photo or video of you and your ring for everyone else to see! You can watch some 'ring reveal' videos, or go ahead and take the plunge and get your first soy candle!'

{CLOSED} giveaway >>> beverly swimwear

This is the perfect giveaway to cure your winter blues. The talented Beverly from Beverly Swimwear is giving one lucky ABCDE reader a swimsuit of their choice! Now, let's get to know this darling girl a little bit....

"I grew up on the coast of southern California. My life has been filled with perfect weather and beautiful beaches. I love to design, style and create clothes. I have been sewing for most of my life whether it be helping my mom with her quilting or creating my own clothing.

Growing up in San Diego I’ve spent a large part of my life in swimsuits. Like everyone else I always struggled to find modest swimsuits that I loved and that I could also afford. I knew I could help solve this problem not only for myself, but also for the many others that are searching for cute modest swimwear.

Once I graduated I started a new venture by creating my own business, Beverly Swimwear, an online shop selling cute modest swimwear, giving people more options of styles at a reasonable price.

Beverly Swimwear is here to make finding a cute modest swimsuit easier. These swimsuits hit all the latest trends while still giving you a classic look that will last many seasons.

Beverly Swimwear is a company centered on giving women more stylish options while allowing you to remain modest. My goal is to give you the perfect swimsuit for you needs and for your body.

All of the swimsuits are handmade with materials purchased in the United States. I have created the patterns to best fit the everyday woman. With my sewing background I am also able to customize your swimsuit to better fit your body.

Beverly Swimwear is all about giving people better options for their Modest Swimwear needs. These handmade swimsuits are customizable and affordable allowing each customer to have the swimsuit they’ve always wanted.

With Beverly Swimwear you can stay fashion forward, modest, and within your budget." -Beverly 

How awesome is Beverly? I am a wee bit jealous she lives in sunny So Cal. Anyways, I can't say enough about this cute girl and her suits. She has so many options. She will custom any suit to you and your body. She even has lots of fabric options and if you don't see one you like, simply ask her and she will find something for you. Awesome right? Above are my 6 fave suits. How cute are they? See them here. So, now it's your turn to win a suit of your choice!

Giveaway ends one week from today on March 8th. Winner will be chosen on the 8th and announced in this post. I will email the winner and they will have 3 days to claim their prize. Good luck!!
