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!
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.)

But hey, we have pumpkin spice lattes to look forward to!
Couldn’t be more excited for this amazing giveaway…
Pre-ordered months ago (the day of the announcement, I think!)!!
So many magic moments – but the biggest/best was moving to an exciting new city to start my new career!
My magical summer moments were spent in the Dominican Republic with my family and some great friends.
My magic moment this summer was when my sister got married! Thanks for the giveaway!

My magic moment this summer was picking up slalom waterskiing again for the first time in years. Gliding on smooth as glass water at sunset is pretty exhilarating.

So cliche, yet my magic moment was buying my first home with my husband. Such a whirlwind of emotions with this huge purchase, yet we are thrilled.
Deciding to move in with my boyfriend! – That is my magical moment.
My magical moment this summer was being able to take my new nephew for a walk around our neighborhood while he babbled adorably.
my “magic” moment from this summer was just last weekend – I went Up North (upstate Michigan) to visit my grandparents. they’ve lived there for the majority of my life and every summer my family would go and stay. now that they’re getting older, they need to move closer to our family, so their house is up for sale. this visit was my last chance to have time with them while they live where they do. it was a blast! we rented a boat on Saturday and took it out onto the lake for some fishing and just general hanging out. my grandpa used to own a boat (but later sold it), so this was really reminiscent of my childhood. we didn’t catch any fish, but the weather was the nicest it’s been all summer (in Michigan anyway). and we had some craft beer to share amongst my parents, grandparents, and boyfriend. all in all, I can definitely qualify it as “magic”. :]
congrats on your book. I can’t wait to get it!
