5 Years of Blogging + Giveaway

TODAY MY BLOG IS FIVE YEARS OLD! I feel like a proud parent *not exaggerating* as I've put so much hard work and time into my blog and it has grown so much in those five years, from awful designs and not knowing anything about blogging to a gorgeous custom design, my own domain name and a lovely group of readers.

When I started I had no idea what it would turn into! Now because of my blog I've attended press events with international brands, I've learnt so much, I'm part of an amazing like minded community and I've been able to work with some incredible brands including Boots, Newlook, Lush, Debenhams, Nails Inc and Harrods, the latter was beyond exciting and I still can't believe it!

To celebrate my blog's fifth birthday I am hosting a giveaway on my blog and also on my Twitter (@ofbeautyand) and my Instagram (@ofbeautyand) so there are plenty of chances to be able to win some pretty amazing prizes. The twitter giveaway is to win a £25 e-voucher with Melody Maison (thank you to the lovely people at Melody Maison for supplying the voucher) and my Instagram giveaway will be a book/face mask prize!

It's always difficult to choose prizes as some items can't be shipped over a certain limit, some can't be shipped overseas and I wanted to include range of products that everyone could enjoy. So for my blog's birthday giveaway, I'm including a range of natural skincare, makeup, candles, perfume, pampering products and a graphic novel so I think there is something for everyone.

Here's a full list of the prizes for my blog giveaway - different prizes on Twitter and Instagram:

- Rosie For Autograph Summer Rose Perfume (15ml)
- Yankee Candle Samplers in Pain Au Raisin, Gingerbread Maple and Frankincense
- Jolly Awesome 'Bae' Pin
- Paper Girls Volume One Graphic Novel
- Lush 'Kiss Me Quick' Wash Card (Valentines exclusive)
- Lush Ladybird Bubble Bar (Valentines exclusive)
- Burts Bees Natural Lipstick in Blush Basin
- Burts Bees Tips and Toes Kit (containing: two hand creams, one hand salve, one cuticle butter, one foot cream and a lip balm)

All items are new and in the case of the Lush items, they are in date and have been well sealed to protect them.

This giveaway is UK only as it contains perfume so it can't be shipped overseas but I am hosting two giveaways on my social media so you can check those out if you are one of my international readers (twitter or instagram).
