Hi, y’all! I hope your day was awesome. Even if it wasn’t, just remember, it’s almost the weekend! My weekend actually starts now because at this time tomorrow, I’ll be in La Jolla, California (aka paradise). Yippee!
So, yesterday I mentioned that today is a very special day for myinnershakti. I goofed up because today is not it…tomorrow is. But because I don’t know if I’ll be able to blog tomorrow, I’m going to go ahead and pretend that tomorrow is today. Are you still with me?!
You’re probably wondering what this special day is, so I’ll just get to it. Tomorrow is my 6 month blogiversary! I started my blog on a whim on January 21, 2011, and I’m so glad I did. This little blog of mine has ignited a new passion in me – one for writing, storytelling, sharing, etc. I still have no idea how long I will be blogging for or what direction I’m taking my blog in, but I figure that it’ll all come to me as I go. I love what I’m doing right now, and that’s what matters. It’s brought me so much happiness, and most importantly, introduced me to an incredible community of individuals. With that being said, I want to THANK all of you…the people who read my blog because y’all motivate and inspire me day in and day out. Thank you!
A while back I blogged about my favorite things. These are all products that I use on a daily basis, and I love them! Sooooo…in honor of my 6 month blogiversary, I’m going to give away one of these products along with a few of my other favorite things (these will be a surprise). 
To refresh your memory, here are the original products…
#1 – Biosilk Silk Therapy Hair Serum
#2 – Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
#3 – Philosophy Amazing Grace Perfume
***If you want to know more about each product, please refer back to my favorite things post.
You have a few options if you want to win this giveaway:
1. Leave me a comment telling me which product you would choose and why (this is NOT optional).
2. Follow myinnershakti on Twitter and leave me a comment telling me you did so.
3. Tweet about this giveaway – “6 month blogiversary for @myinnershakti and she’s giving away one of her favorite products http://wp.me/p1j4PN-uJ #giveaway” and leave me a comment telling me you did so.
The giveaway ends on Sunday at 3 pm. I will randomly pick a winner on Sunday and announce the winner that night. GOOD LUCK!
<3 you all!!!

July 20, 2011 at 9:28 pmAww aren’t you sweet! Happy 6 months!
I’m going to say the primer because I have a powder eyeliner that just won’t stay on and I think this could do the trick!

July 20, 2011 at 10:21 pmCongrats pretty girl! 6 months is huge! And i have to say that I’ve been reading your blog almost from day 1 (didn’t that sound kinda fobby?) ! BTW I would totally use the perfume, I love new smells and tend to mix up my perfumes insead of just sticking with one smell.
Parita says

July 21, 2011 at 7:55 amWe have the same blogiversary just a year apart! 🙂 Isn’t it crazy how quickly blogging can become such a huge part of yourself? I love it! And you can never tell where blogging will go, but that’s part of the fun.
What a nice giveaway to do!! I would choose the perfume…only because I’m stinky and put off showering almost every day. LOL
Sejal M says
July 21, 2011 at 9:44 amHey!
Happy Blogiversary! I am a really new reader. Like, last week but love your blog, we share lots in common 😉
Anyways, I would choose the eyeshoadow primer because the one I have isn’t great and the summer heat is taking it’s toll on my makeup routine.
Thanks for the fun giveaway!

I found it online – it’s a couple who loves Trader Joes and they are reviewing all the products that TJ’s has to offer : )
Anyways…congrats on YOUR blog. I’ve yet to do one of my own yet : (
Parita says
