Three years?
I’ve been blogging for THREE YEARS?!
It feels like just yesterday that I was so sick of writing in my company’s “voice” and I decided to start my own blog. It was a rocky start. To put it frankly, my blog was pretty boring back then. I thought I’d try to be a SERIOUS blogger and blog about business and marketing tips.
Yeah, that didn’t last long and soon I was blogging about everything.
Pregnancy complications? Yup.
Losing my job & going through the race to find a new one before my preggo belly got too big? Yup.
Moving and redecorating almost every single room in our new home? Heck yeah.
Stories about weird co-workers who take off their bra’s at work and eat bites out of other people’s food? Yeah, that too.
{Um… FYI, it was two different coworkers, not a braless Hamburgler. Though, that would have been hilarious!}
This blog has grown into something that I’m really, really proud of – a little bit serious, a lot of silly and just a whole crateful of me. I love sharing my life with my loyal readers and you guys truly make my day with your amazing comments.
So as a thank you to all my readers, I’ve decided to celebrate three years of blogging by giving away some of my favorite things!
The winner gets ALL these awesome prizes:
- Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 Exercise DVD – check it out here
- “Damn it’s good to be a Gangster” shirt from Raygun. You get to choose the size and whether you’d like the ladies or men’s versions. I have a men’s large, because I like my t-shirts comfy.
- Natalia Bracelet Set from Wantable – you can see them on my review here
- Eos Lip Balm in Passionfruit
- Hammered Silver Necklace from Fair Ivy – you can see it on my review here
- Plush Puff’s Simply S’mores gourmet marshmallows – YUM!
- From the fabulous Citrus Lane: Weleda Hydrating Body Lotion, Citrus, 6.8 Fluid Ounce
and Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Hand Cream

I love the Hammered Silver Necklace from Fair Ivy it’s so cute and dainty! I’m @evenstarinbama everywhere
Followed you on interest (ash121213) already follow on instagram. I’m not cool enough to have a Twitter. Maybe if I had a “Damn its good to be a gangster” shirt I might be a little cooler! Happy 3 years of blogging!
Or pintrest. Damn autocorrect
I am most excited about the Natalia bracelet set! They’re beautiful! I am proud of you, Joules, for having such a successful site and for giving me over a year (since I found you) of reading pleasure, helpful information, and the knowledge that there are other people like me out there!
Michelle
Awww, thank you so much Michelle! =)
I love the bracelets and the gangster t-shirt!
So I was pretty excited about the marshmallows and followed the link to check them out. First review starts with “Wonderful melted on rice cakes..” Huh? Did I miss something?
Hmm… maybe they meant rice crispy’s, like rice crispy treats? Otherwise, they’re totally doing dieting wrong (or right)! =)
Congratulations!! How super exciting! Three cheers for three years!
Also I want to win a prize.
Also I already like and follow you everywhere. Does that still count?
Yup, it totally does!
I’m loving the “Damn it feels good to be a gangster” t-shirt. It just makes me think of Office Space! I like you on facebook (Katie Kelly), I follow you on Twitter (@katiebelle1121), I follow you on Instagram (Words for Worms Katie), AND I follow you on Pinterest (Words for Worms).
We can totally wear them at the same time and have our own little blogger gang!
Happy Anniversary! You are so nice to give US a giveaway on YOUR anniversary 🙂
I’m most interested in the Natalia Bracelet Set, and those marshmallows (of course!). Also, I noticed nobody else mentioned the exercise DVD yet so I want you to know that I have a girl-crush on Jillian Michaels and her workouts always kick my butt! So I’d like to put my name in the hat for those, too. I’m bad at making decisions, can ya tell?
I subscribe to your blog and I follow you everywhere! Maybe I’m a stalker, but I think that’s encouraged for this, right? … Right?? 😉

Let’s see . . . since I just had my firstborn son nine days ago, I should very definitely be most interested in that DVD, since I’m feeling a bit pudgy around the middle! Then after thirty days I’ll be able to wear the t-shirt and jewelry and lip balm and lotion in style (and not feel too bad about eating the marshmallows). 🙂 Thank you! And congratulations on three years!
I live Citrus Lane!
I’m most excited about the body lotion. I’m obsessed with keeping my skin moisturized, looking and feeling healthy. And it never hurts to smell great either! 🙂
Excited for you and your 3 year blog anniversary. I’m looking forward to reading your blog for many many more years!
