Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…

Julie Andrews is one of my favourite things, too. If I could package her up and send her to you as part of my giveaway, believe me, I would.

For now, though, I thought I’d make do with giving away a few other favourites of mine to one lucky winner. ***GIVEAWAY RULES UNDER THE CUT***

As I mentioned in a previous post, this blog recently reached quite a big milestone – for me, at least. In comparison to other, much bigger blogs, 3000+ followers might not seem like a lot, but I never in a million, billion, trillion years imagined that so many people would be interested in reading about my life and the things I get excited about.

Honestly, blogging has brought me a whole lot of joy – in addition to a whole lot of sleep deprivation. I know some of you have stuck with me since the very beginning, when I first started this blog in April of 2012. I’ll never be able to express just how much that means to me.

Okay, I’m a big sap. I admit it. To say a big THANK YOU for following, whether you’ve been here awhile or have just arrived, I’m hosting my very first blog giveaway! I wish I could send each and every one of you a gift, but alas, I am not Oprah.

To enter, all you have to do is:

  1. Be a follower of this blog, obviously. (Either on Tumblr or Bloglovin’ – bonus points for both!)
  2. Reblog this post (likes don’t count), or share a link to it on your own blog if you use a different blogging platform
  3. Leave a Disqus comment on this post telling me why you started following my blog, including your tumblr URL/blog URL so I can verify you did step #2. To leave a Disqus comment, scroll down to the end of this post where you’ll see a comment section.

That’s it! Of course it would be pretty swell if you also followed me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but that’s not necessary to be entered to win. (And pssst, I’ll be doing another giveaway exclusive to my Facebook fans soon.)

Here’s what you’ll win:

  • A copy of one of my all-time favourite novels: Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen, in the cutest edition I could find
  • A copy of Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë, another story that is very near and dear to my heart
  • A small Kate Spade gold dot notepad, for staying chic while jotting down your brilliant ideas (and inevitably, some not-so-brilliant ones)
  • An EOS lip balm in strawberry sorbet, a necessity for keeping your lips hydrated while you give someone a lecture on feminism
  • A MAC lipstick in “Russian Red” – a shade that flatters absolutely everyone no matter their skin tone, and a personal favourite of mine, especially on days I want to feel ferocious
  • Something sweet, for the days that aren’t: Salt Water Taffy in “Bergamot” and “Salty Caramel Apple” flavours
  • A ‘Thank You’ card by Rifle Paper Co. with a note from me inside! :)

This giveaway is open internationally and will run for a month, so on September 1st I will randomly select one of the commenters as the winner. (If you’re under 18, please have your parents’ permission to enter, because I will need your address to mail everything to you.)

I will also tuck a little note from me to you inside each book, since a few of you mentioned you’d like this. (Don’t worry, I’ll write on a sticky note so I don’t desecrate your book.)

    Hi Mia! I can’t believe I didn’t reply to you sooner, I’m so sorry! I just wanted to say, thank you so, so much for what you wrote. I don’t know where to begin or how to explain what that meant to me. Truly, thank you.

    You are so kind and that generous comment means the world.
