Eager Emily's 1st Giveaway

To celebrate summer I wanted to have my first giveaway! I picked a few things that I like and that I thought would be great for summer. I have been collecting items for a while.

I will start with the makeup. I love the E.L.F. gel eyeliner in black. I think it is a great product. My eyeliner had been left open and I needed a new one. When I picked this up I actually bought myself another one. Everyone loves the Color Icon Trio Walking on Eggshells by Wet 'n Wild. I think it is a great palette for summer. The colors are perfect for a soft not to over done look. So the eyeliner is to amp up for a night time look and the palette for a day look.

Nail Polish!!!! This is my ode to 4th of July! This give away will end on 6/24 so my hope is that who wins this will have the glittery blue and red nail polish for the 4th. The colors are "Tame Me Now" and "Deja Vu" by Pure Ice.

My trip to Lush was wonderful. It is officially one of my happy places. The great associates did facials on my best friend and I so we could try out some new products. I picked up the Love Lettuce fresh face mask for myself. While I was there I found these two. I love the little Robot it is so stinking cute!!!The bath bomb is called the Ickle Baby Bot! Then the white bath bomb is called Butterball. It is made with cocoa butter and I thought that would be great for summer skin.

Lastly, My little fun extras. I included a cute bandana that I found. It is perfect for 4th of July. I am excited for the 4th. Can't you tell? I also bought one for myself and I am going to do a diy on it and see if I can make it feel all soft and broken in. Then there is the candle. I am in love with this candle. It is the perfect fresh scent. Every springy/fresh candle always wants to smell like the "ocean" or "fresh linen" and they never really smell like that. The Green Tea and Sage soy candle is the perfect clean, right after a spring rain, happiness filled candle. I love the styling of the label and the jar is adorable.

2.  Flower Girl Dress from Altar'd State $64.50, This store just opened at the same place I work. I went in and my jaw dropped. I love so many of the dresses. They have a lot of vintage looking pieces. 

3. Songbird Bag I Saddle by Kelly Moore $199, Beautiful functional camera bag. I would love to have one. I especially like the style of the Songbird. 

4. Georgia State Earrings by Vinca (scoutmob) $12, I have discovered a love for scoutmob. These earrings are perfect for me. I am a Georgia girl all the way through. 

5. Tyler Sofa from Thrive $1,599.00, I am in love with this sofa. I want a midcentury sofa. I love the clean lines. I am generally a slightly shabby chic kind of person but, this couch is amazing. 

6. Pyrex Carnaby Tempo Casserole Dish Bowl X 2 from Nostalgiabloom $16.50, I am in love with vintage dishes. I first jumped onto Fire King dishes and my obsession is now morphing to include Pyrex. 


I have been crazy busy with my 2 summer classes that I am taking. They are both 4 week sessions so as my teacher likes to say a class is literally a week of content. I will be starting to post some articles about Public Relations. 

This past weekend I was very lucky to take the pictures at a wedding of some friends Meghan and Matt. I will be posting some images to show on Focusing Daily. 

The give away is coming soon! I picked up what I think are the final items today. 
What are you loving right now?

Living Room Ideas!

I have been pining ideas on pinterest for our living room. This is my wish list. I know we will probably have to have hand me downs and some random furniture. But this is how I wish I could have it!

I am obsessed with Mid Century sofas. I love the Chester Tufted sofa from West Elm. I love the tufting and the tapered legs. I have found a couple of original Mid Century Sofas on craiglist and they all are in desperate need of reupholstering. And that costs a lot of money. So my only hope is to find one at an estate sale that has hopefully been covered with plastic for its whole life.

This Aiden coffee table is wonderful. I love the wheels and the combination of wood and metal. I am starting to look like someone who loves modern furniture. But in reality I love anything that has an old feeling to it. And this does!

This might be neat as a side table! I love how the drawers look like a library card catalog. It is called the Black 5- Drawer Preston Table from World Market.

I want everything in our apartment to look like we have collected it. Granted we are only 21 and 22 so we have obviously not had the time to collect furniture. Hopefully, we will be able to find some items that have a similar feel to these. Maybe we will even find the actual old counterparts. 

I am still gathering items for the giveaway I will be featuring soon! I do have a sneak peek that I  just posted on Vine. I think Vine is really neat and I think I will be posting a lot of different videos. You can reach the sneak peek by following me on Twitter @Emilyvannah.

Do you have a Vine account? What do you film?

Mini Make Up Haul

I have started to run out of some of my normal make up so I went to CVS yesterday and grabbed some things to try out. I got the Revlon Naked Foundation in a darker shade. I am unsure how this is going to stay on my skin in the summer. I can get pretty shiny. So to combat that I also got the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in a translucent shade. Then when I was there I found some Revlon lip products on clearence, 75% off!!!! I was pretty happy. I got the Revlon Lip Butter in Cherry Tart. I really like this color it is a deeper red when compared to Candy Apple and has a little bit of glitter in it. Then I got the Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss in Coral Reef. I am loving both of these. 

I think that I might be doing a give away soon. Maybe a combination of Pyrex and some drugstore favorites? What do y'all think?

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day! I hope all of y'all are getting a chance to relax and enjoy this wonderful day. Memorial Day is a wonderful holiday where we can remember all of those who have served our country.

Madewell Love

I love looking at Madewell's website! I discovered it through my Birchbox actually. They have done a partnership with Madewell before. One of the malls near where I live has a Madewell. Basically if I could have a store it would look exactly like Madewell. I love the way the store is decorated. The wooden shelves and the blue mason jars everywhere.

Here are some of the items that I love from Madewell.

 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Apartment Storage!

This summer I am planning on moving into my first apartment with my boyfriend Steve. Soon we are going to go look at a few places. I have one that I am pretty sure we will end up with. I have started my pre-planning. I am such a nester. I have lived way from my parents home when I went to Young Harris college. Since then I have been living at home because my parents house is close enough to school and it was economically smart. I am looking specifically at storage ideas because our apartment will be pretty small. Here are some ideas that I have found.

• 3- Tier Hanging Wire Basket- $12.99, My mom had one of these when I was little. I love seeing fruit hanging in them. Great for keeping things off of the counter. 

• Owen Box With Chalkboard- $24.99, I think this will be really nice for mail. Keep it from ending up in random places.  

•  Natural Canvas Under-Bed Chest- $18.99, I really want under the bed storage. I do not think I will be able to get a new bed soon but these are a great alternative. Also you can find a cheaper version from Ikea Here.  

•  BJÄRNUM Folding hook (Pack of 3)- $9.99, I really like these hooks! When you are not using them you can fold them back up.

•  KASSETT Box (Pack of 2)- $4.99, I already own a ton of these. They make for great storage. I also like how you can label them! 

•  HEMNES Shoe cabinet with 2 compartments- $129.00, I love how this has a small drawer at the top. Could be used for belts or other random odds and ends. I definitely need some shoe storage.

I am going to be giving some updates on our apartment search and how I want to decorate. I am so excited to finally have some space of my own (with Steve of course)!

•  We did go and look at the first apartment complex. I did not realize that they give a student discount! Now I want to go to the all and ask.
