A Few Of My Favorite Things + Giveaway

Filed Under: Family

I have something special for you today! I am sharing a few of my favorite things lately PLUS a giveaway. One of my lovely readers will win all three items!!

Lowepro Bag

The Lowepro Photo Sport Shoulder Bag is just awesome! I love this bag for carrying around my older DSLR for family trips. I don’t always want to carry around my Full Frame camera. So this bag is good for the everyday. It fits my D7000 in the pack with the 85mm Lens on it. If I want my D600 Full Frame to fit I have to take the lens off. That means I couldn’t really use this as a professional camera bag, but the bigger bag would probably work better.

A Few Of My Favorite Things

I love that it has so many interior and exterior pockets. There is enough room in there for a 10″ tablet, which I have and carry often. I also love the water bottle pocket!! Makes it a really awesome bag for the every day. It is reasonable priced at $74.99.

Hylunia Skin Care

Hylunia Skin Care products feel amazing! No burning or stinging like some facial cleaners. I have very sensitive skin so I sometimes have problems finding skin care products that work for me.

A Few Of My Favorite Things

I love that all of their products are 100% safe. They are Paraben-Free, Phosphate-Free, Fragrance-Free, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, and Gluten-Free. They have soooo many awesome products to choose from.

They offer free shipping on all orders!

Balsham Hill

I received the Roses and Berry Wreath from Balsham Hill. I LOVE the colors in it, so springy/summery. It really is so bright and cheery! All the flowers are real, just the berries are faux.

A Few Of My Favorite Things

They do have some amazing Christmas wreaths, even ones that light up. Balsam Hill offers a lot more then wreaths. I also love their Bless This Home Wall Art.

They have free shipping on orders over $100 till August 13th. You can get 10% off your order till August 31st with code INTHEMOMENTWITH10.

    I LOVE the Spring Meadow Violet wreath, so pretty. I actually love them all! lol I could not do with my Lowepro bag, I would love to have the Sport Shoulder bag, since I've used my old one to death. I need a new skin care regimen so I would pretty much buy anything! Great post, and awesome giveaway! :)

    Ahhhh... I would use the heck out of the Lowepro! My poor skin could sure use some nice treatment, I have to admit I sometimes either forget or am to tired to take off my makeup) The wreaths are heaven & what a great gift for someone too! Thanks for the sweet giveaway!!

    Such cool things! I have an older style lowepro back pack that I have used to death!

I'm am THE WORST! aaand looking at those wreaths makes me want it to be Fall! So pretty!

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
