Sponsor Spotlight–Anna from Be Healthy, Be Well, Be Inspired

Hi all! It’s me again with another Sponsor Spotlight – this time it’s Anna from Be Healthy, Be Well, Be Inspired. Anna is a great friend and helps me to keep a healthy check on things. Her blog is always full of great articles on health, wellness, and other good tips. I just love these pics of Anna and her boyfriend.

I asked Anna some questions so you can get to know her better!

1. Tell me a few things about your blog.

My blog is about health and wellness and everything in between.

2. What’s your favorite fall accessory?

Scarves

3. What are you looking forward to most in November?

Fall foliage, family time at Thanksgiving, and oh all of the food on
Thanksgiving, especially the desserts.  And I can’t forget Black
Friday.

4. If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?

Right now it would be anywhere warm.

I’m going to turn it over to Anna, so she can tell you about her giveaway. Here’s Anna:

This is Anna from Be Healthy, Well & Inspired, one of Lori’s sponsors. I want to thank Lori again for hosting another one of my giveaways.

Lori and I met two Paper Culture reps this past BlogHer in San Diego. I can’t remember their names at this point but I do remember what they look like and what their company represents.

I love paper and anything that has to do with stationary or paper goods. I was immediately attracted to this company. In fact, I won a Paper Culture giveaway from Design R (Rebecca Ward’s design blog) and I bought some cute notecards from them. I haven’t gotten them yet or I would show you. But here is a preview and the other notecard I ordered can be viewed here. It’s going to be personalized with my name of course. The one thing I like about Paper Culture is personalization do not cost extra. Isn’t that a hoot?

Why do I like the company so much? I like what they represent – eco-friendly stationary: no carbon and chlorine free and much more. In addition, Paper Culture will plant a tree with every order they receive and dedicate it a person of your choice.

I want Lori’s readers to have the same Paper Culture experience as I did. So, this month I am giving away $50 credit to Paper Culture.

Shades of Fall

For any new readers – welcome to my little corner of the blogsphere! I’m glad you stopped by from the Linky Party hosted by Casey, Ilene, Jess and Danielle. For more about me click here.

 

festbutton Shades of Fall

I love Fall but I don’t like it when “Fall” in Atlanta still means 75-80 degree weather. It gets a little frustrating when all I want to do is wear cute fall clothes and the weather doesn’t cooperate. So I try to take key fall pieces and colors and mix them in with regular summer clothes. Today, that means a pink vest and pink/blue polka dot scarf. Love this scarf!

DSC 0001 thumb Shades of FallDSC 0002 thumb Shades of FallDSC 0004 thumb Shades of FallDSC 0007 thumb Shades of FallDSC 0008 thumb Shades of Fall

Outfit: Skirt: BananaRepublic, Shirt: Loft, Vest: BananaRepublic, Scarf: Target, Shoes: MeToo, Bracelet: Tiffanys, Earrings/Necklace: DelicacyJ

No close up todays! Haha. As soon as I started taking them, then the sun came out right behind me and I forgot to adjust the exposure. Oops! Maybe I should have included them as I’m as white as a ghost!

What do you have planned for the weekend? I have work and of course lots of football watching. The big question in this house is whether Clemson is going to go 8-0.  We are going to have a lock-in at the church this weekend for the youth group. So that means – no sleep! Ha. But the kids will have a good time.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!

Outfit Details: Faux Leather Jacket: Express (last year), Cowl Neck Shirt: GAP, Hot Pink Pants: GAP, Boots: Don’t remember, Bag: Coach

I flipped through these pictures and went “oh, I look more like a model in these!” Ha! I’m getting better with some of the poses. wlEmoticon winkingsmile2 Hot Pink on Black (Although I need to do a better job at hiding the remote. LOL) Anyways, I love these pants but I’m still trying to find the best way to wear them. Of course that was the coldest day we had here in the last week. It’s back up to the 70s. You’ll see short sleeve pictures tomorrow. Sigh.

This outfit was for dinner and drinks with the best friend last week. So much fun to see her.

You may have seen on Twitter we have been technical difficulties in the house. Something with my AT&T U-Verse modem started blocking my Netflix streaming on my TV and then subsequently blocked my printer from seeing my computer. Ugh. After all weekend on the phone with AT&T and Netflix and then the better part of today, I finally got things fixed. I’m pretty proud of myself. I’m hoping it’ll stay that way. Ha. All that to say, I can now stream Psych through my Netflix with no more problems. I finished watching the new episodes of Parks and Rec last week with continual interruptions. What should I be watching on Netflix while I work? Any good suggestions? I’d love to hear them!
