Two Years + One Grand Giveaway

As if the week-long birthday celebrations weren’t enough, I’m keeping the party going today to celebrate two years of 26 and Not Counting! Had I known then what I know now, I would have spread the two out a bit for my sanity’s sake, but c’est la vie.celebrating two years of blogging with a grand giveaway!When it comes down to it, all I really want to say today is THANK YOU. This blog has changed my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It’s led me to new friends, 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 am so, so grateful to everyone who joins me in this space for the good, the bad and the downright ugly. From the bottom of my margarita glass heart, thank you.

I’ve teamed up with a handful of my favorite brands and small businesses to put together a blog anniversary giveaway fit for a fabulous gal like yourself. Up for grabs is a package including: $100 Shopbop gift card, $50 BaubleBar gift card, two Clarity Pouches from TRUFFLE, a strand of Charleston Rice Beads from Candy Shop Vintage and a GSD (Get Shit Done) Notepad from Meg Biram’s shop.

Enter the giveaway using the widget below and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or shoot me an email – good luck!

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who entered and congrats to Erica for winning! There is a glitch in the Rafflecopter widget, which is why it is showing two winners and I’m working to get it fixed!
