Second Nature Book Tour and Giveaway

I miss reading a lot! I admit I haven't spent much time with a book lately except for children's books. The last time I read and finished one was when I was pregnant and that was 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Actually I like fiction because it stimulates my mind and at the same time challenges the extent of how far my imagination can reach at the same time I also like  inspirational books especially biographies that are full of life's lessons. 

Back to the love of books, here's one synopsis of a Book entitled Second Nature by Elizabeth Sharp. You can check the Book Tour afterwards and get a chance to win a necklace. 

 

Second Nature (Forces of Nature Book 2)

Amelia Hoffman always knew she would be with Nathaniel Peplow forever, but after they bonded everything started to go wrong. Nate treats her like the enemy, her siblings are in danger, and an old threat grows closer. As Nate pulls away and Amelia’s burgeoning friendship with a handsome stranger blossoms, she worries she made the biggest mistake of her life. If sorting out her love life wasn’t enough, a new drug emerges that not only threatens the ones she loves, but seems to be part of something larger than she could ever imagine. Amelia’s new and old friends must work together to not only save themselves, but the whole world.

Sassy Hairsies for a Sassy Baby

My daughter, Ceana has been hairless-well not actually "no hair"-as in nothing, but she has very thin hair but I noticed as I mentioned in my previous post that it has somewhat changed over the last few months. The normal hair accessory she wears is a headband- it is actually a MUST! 

When I found out about Sassy Hairsies , a few months ago I immediately checked out their creations and fell in love with them! For months, I keep on checking their FB Page for updates and new designs. I really planned of ordering just in time for Christmas. And now here it is, a blow by blow documentation of unboxing Ceana's Sassy Hairsies....

It actually came (12/12/11) late in the afternoon via Air 21, this is the box and immediately after opening the package you can already smell perfume...

neatly wrapped items in red Japanese paper(at this point I cannot contain my excitement I need to take a peek...)

the Sassy sticker...

lo and behold, this is what's inside, 2 headbands and what's this?yes a freebie!

 and the best of all...is a FREEBIE!!!!thanks Ms.Tin!

I have specifically requested for a metal headband wrapped in ribbon since I know that Ceana doesn't like elastic headbands. What I like about these headbands aside from the fact that it was pretty and delicately made is that the ornaments/appliques are securely-attached to eachother (in this case the pearl and the rhinestone to the flower)  and you will not worry that it will disentangle immediately or get loose. Then on the other note, I can say that it was a hassle-free transaction, Ms. Tin is very accommodating and replies to inquiries ASAP. {I just got nervous when I didn't receive a confirmation for my payment, then I found out that she was away for a long weekend getaway with her hubby for some quality time.}

I forgot to mention that I also got a 20% discount for this order plus she sent me another 10% coupon on my next order, thank you so mcuh!!! I love Sassy Hairsies and I will definitely order again not only for Ceana but for myself as well!

You can check Sassy Hairsies through their Facebook Page and Multiply Store.
