Why am I having a giveaway? – you ask

(1) It’s my 195th post . . . . . . yes, I know. Most people do this sort of thing with their 100th post or 200th or even 1000th post, but as with the rest of my life – I want to be different. Ha! And actually – if I counted all of the posts I’ve deleted over the past nine months – I’d probably be close to the 1000th post mark.

(2) I want to.

(3) Julie inspired it.

(4) I’m sick of my washing machine drama.

(5) I’m sipping a Venti Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks . . . . that’s as good a reason as any!

What am I giving away?

Well – it’s NOT the first two books in the Twilight series. I would say that’s because so many others are doing it, but really – it’s just because I can’t part with my books yet . . . um – perhaps never!

But, this giveaway is the next best thing . . . .

It’s the Deva Curl Travel Kit along with the Curly Girl Handbook! WOO-HOO!

Along with these fabulous products – I’m giving away my “expert” counsel. If you have any questions after using the products, I will be happy to assist.

I love, love, love Deva Curl! And I know you will too.

To enter this giveaway, there are just a few rules:

You have to be a curly girl – no straight-haired girls allowed! hehehehe
