4 Years of 26 and Not Counting

Happiest of Tuesdays, friends! This past weekend marked 4 years of 26 and Not Counting and you all know I love a reason to celebrate. I’ve got a few giveaways lined up to help us do just that!Cuyana leather travel case set

When it comes down to it, I hope you know how thankful I am that you continue to come back to this space. This blog has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined. It’s led me to new friends and exciting opportunities, but most of all, it has brought a positive energy to my life and given me a better understanding of who I am.

I’m thrilled to be giving away a Cuyana leather travel case set to one of you! I really can’t say enough good things about the brand. I use the larger bag for my everyday makeup bag and the smaller one comes along on trips to hold extra toiletries. My girlfriends and I were recently talking about how the bag opens up juuust the right amount when it’s unzipped so you aren’t digging around in a deep, dark hole (presumably looking for your eyeliner which was been whittled down to next to nothing. Just me?)

A huge thank you to Cuyana who partnered with me to make this giveaway so great, and to Ashlee O’Neil for the photos!

    Congrats on 4 years! I know there will be many more to come and each one will be filled with amazing ventures, findings, and opportunities! You have raved about this brand and particular set time and time again so I am so happy someone (hopefully me) will win and get to experience that love and satisfaction. If I won I would choose the light gray, green, or the blue!

    Congrats on four years. I’ve loved reading this blog as you moved from KC (where I live) to Chicago and have documented your life, while not always perfect, honestly along the way. If I won, I’d pick black, cream or gold.

    Thanks!

  47. Congrats on four years Jess! That’s a feat you should be so proud of, it’s hard work and it’s draining, yet it seems to be really fulfilling you and that’s a beautiful thing to see!

    PS: those cosmetics bags are gorgeous! I’ve never bought anything from Cuyana but feel like I should. Everything I see from them is simple and understated in the most classic way.
