Secondly, I wanted to tell you guys that I started a new planner instagram! If you want to follow it's @glamplanner.
I wanted to kick off being back with a really important blog post; a sponsor spotlight! You guys might have noticed all the pretty banner pictures over to the right of this post, and those are the banners of my small business sponsors. These are all women-run business or blogs from girls who support my blog, and I want to support them back! This is why I started my sponsorship program.
Since I started the sponsorships on a random day in the month, my new banners are starting all over the place. Because of this, some of the sponsors I am about to talk about are no longer running banners, and some are. Either way, these girls are definitely worth checking out, as I handpicked them and I know you will love them!

"Hi guys! My name is Sarah and I'm a fashion design graduate from Wales in the UK. I've always had a love for fun pieces of jewellery but I began to find it so frustrating that statement jewellery was either really expensive or you'd find that you knew 10 other girls with the same necklace as you. I really wanted to create an online boutique that offered an affordable and unique selection of statement jewellery with pieces to suit everybody's taste.. so A Midnight Wonderland was born! We've since expanded to offer a collection of clothing and accessories such as scarves and sunglasses too!"
A Midnight Wonderland is such a cute shop, and as soon as I took a peek I knew it was right up my alley, and would be something my readers would like being introduced to. Everything is curated and beautiful, from the gorgeous jewelry selection to this cute little cat ring holder (yes, please!)
She sent me a couple of pieces from her shop, including 2 of the bracelets pictured above, and the quality is fantastic. The jewelry is trendy and on point, for good prices.
Sarah has been sweet enough to offer an exclusive discount for iheartyoucoffee readers. You can get 10% off your entire order with promo code IHEARTELLE until March 31st. She also wants to do a giveaway! One random commenter on this post will receive two items of your choice, sent by Sarah. Click here to check out her shop and make sure to follow her instagram @amidnightwonderland.

Next up is Ana Jocelyn, a psychology student with a passion for makeup. She has been an Avon rep since 2011 and actually won the Avon Makeup Maven YouTube contest in 2013, which is super cool. I have worked closely with Avon mark. in the past so I love that she is so passionate about the brand.
She has her own shop, which you can get to be clicking here and she can help you find exactly what you are looking for. What I love about Ana is that she is a real woman in the real world who is doing what she loves with both school and makeup. She cares about her customers and if you need any new makeup suggestions she is your girl! Check out her shop here: Ana's Shop.

Boutique of Belle is a jewelry shop with possibly the cutest art on it's homepage ever. I feel like I want to print that picture out and frame it. Sara, the owner, sent me a few pieces and everything about them, including the packaging, is very luxurious and gorgeous. Sara has been kind enough to offer my readers 20% off your entire purchase now through March 31st with code "IHEARTCOFFEE". Seriously check out this shop guys... her jewelry is both inexpensive and beautiful.
If you are into pretty jewelry pictures, make sure to follow her instagram @boutiqueofbelle.
In addition to the promo code, she is offering a giveaway to one random commenter on this post. You will receive what is in the picture above on the right :)

Last but certainly not least, we have Lindsey from The Curly Diaries. Lindsey is incredible and has been a viewer of mine for over 6 years now! She has truly been around since the beginning, and I'm so happy to be able to promote her in this small way. Here is a blurb straight from her:
"I am the brains behind The Curly Diaries, a life & style blog that features everything from beauty, fashion, home décor and more. My goal for The Curly Diaries is to provide a tiny corner of inspiration for everything fun and fabulous, while serving as a guide to living a sparkly life! My readers are savvy girls who aren’t afraid of an amazing investment piece, but also love a good bargain {and save enough to grab a post-shopping cocktail with your girlfriends ;) }. The Curly Diaries is a place to come for a bit of color, fun and sparkle to brighten up your day! Be sure to follow me on Instagram or Twitter @lindseyschaefer for more fabulous inspiration and exclusive content!"
Lindsey is 20 years old and has her own little persian named Bug (can we just talk about how cute that name is?!). She is also starting a new series all about female entrepreneurs and has asked to feature me, so make sure to keep your eyes open for that over on her site! Her blog is definitely worth checking out... it's full of fun reads and pretty things! Tell her I sent you :)

ReplyDeleteI am so so happy to hear you are better (or at least on the way!) I've told me mum about you and so sometimes when I'm watching youtube, she'll ask if I'm watching you or I'll be in a store and say "This is that (insert item) that Elle liked! Being able to read and listen to you while all this was going on makes me feel like I know you better. I hope someday to actually greet you in person, with a big hug! In the meantime, keep writing and vlogging! Sending love from up North!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am now looking at all the blogs/shops you mentioned! I absolutely love Midnight in Wonderland! So much variety, which is great!
Good to hear you're feeling better, hope it continues this way <3 I really like the jewellery, especially the Boutique of Belle, so pretty!!
