Can’t wait to get it!” Congrats Beth! I’ve sent you an email. Again, thank you ALL so much for entering and for your support. xoxoxo]
Hiiiii.
So. I know I’m not a huge giveaway person, but I am totally blown away by your support and love and all that jazz lately, especially for Seriously Delish and how you’ve completely changed my life. I want to do, well… SOMETHING for each and every one of you and since I can’t buy you all a cocktail with a hug, I figured a giveaway of my favorite things would have to do.
This giveaway is from ME to YOU. I want to show you how much I appreciate you coming here everyday, the encouragement you’ve given me and your all around virtual fabulousness. You really do complete me, Jerry Maguire style. THANK YOU!
See below on how to enter to win all of these goods!Â
1. This Rebecca Minkoff Crosby tote. It’s no secret how much I love love love my mac clutch bags and mini macs. And my cupid satchel. I love every bag she makes and am totally drooling over this for fall.
2. Jeni’s ice cream! 4 pints to be exact. This should last you, like… five minutes.
3. A Vitamix blender. I’ve become the biggest hypocrite on the planet because for years I said I’d never buy one and would rather buy shoes. But I took the plunge earlier this year and it was seriously LIFE CHANGING. Talk about the thickest milkshake-like smoothies and the creamiest soups. To die for.
4. One year subscriptions to my favorite foodie magazines: Donna Hay and Delicious. These are my go-to for photography inspiration. LOVE. Nothing else compares in my opinion.
5. A fit bit flex. It’s been close to a year since I’ve gone on and on about my fit bit. I completely adore it – not as a workout tool, but more so as a reminder to live an active lifestyle.
6. Two of my favorite books: the Flavor Bible and Bird by Bird. One of the most frequently asked questions I get is how do I come up with recipes – and one of the answers is the Flavor Bible! If I really want to make something with a certain ingredient, I’ll search it and see what flavors pair the best. And Bird by Bird… well it’s a classic that gets me through life. Pretty much.
7. Ummm…. chocolate? Do I really need to explain this one? This is one of my favorites. I need to share.
8. Gift cards to some of my favorite places: $50 to each. One to Sephora, one to Athleta and one to Starbucks. Because I’m a sucker. (if you don’t like coffee GET THE CROISSANT!)
And lastly – this colorful set of my favorite le pen pens and a moleskin notebook (MY LOVE!). It’s school supply time people!! But really, these pens are the bomb dot com. (sorry.)

Favorite summer moment had been picking tomatoes off the vine to snack on. This is the first heat I’ve had a garden!
Wow! What fun! My magical moment this summer was my family vacation to Kiawah Island, SC with my parents and brother. My brother and I are 31 and 29, respectively, and unmarried, so it’s a nice surprise to still be able to do the same family beach trips we’ve taken for all these years as a family of 4.

My magic moment of the summer was getting a new job. I’m finally moving forward with my life!
This is a lame one but this summer I started an amazing new job that has really improved my quality of life!
This summer we got our first dog as a family a week before I left for college again. Before we got her, I was convinced that because I would barely spend any time with the dog, I would stay distant; this wouldn’t be “my” dog. And then she came home, and I started teaching her how to fetch, and I knew, I just knew, that this was my wonderful, beautiful Sammie, and even if we spent only 8 days together, I loved her.
My favorite part of this summer would have to be the fact that it hasn’t been super warm. I know it’s weird but I HATE the heat with a passion. It’s been refreshing to not be melting all the time.
My magical summer moment was finding out about my new fall job. A new adventure awaits September 2nd!
