BONUS: "Dough for Dialogue" Giveaway

Here is the surprise that I said I had up my sleeve :-)

I had a wonderful idea to do a bonus giveaway. I get absolutely ecstatic when I receive and read everyone’s comments to my posts. It lets me know that people are interested in what I have to say; that my time and efforts aren’t in vain! I love to dialogue about hair and I’ve really met some wonderful ladies since starting this blog.

Well, I just want to let you know that it really means something to me when I get to converse with my readers and your comments truly make my day. I am giving a ten ($10) dollar gift card to 2 lucky subscribers. The winners can choose between Curlmart (geared toward hair products) or Luv Naturals (geared toward hair accessories).

"Eco-Friendly" Giveaway

Curls was one of the first company’s that I learned about when I made the decision to go natural. I have had so many positive experiences with Curls. This week’s giveaway was inspired by a fellow blogger; where I learned that Curls started “The 4 Step Sustainable CURLS™ Campaign”. The campaign is geared toward making the environment cleaner and greener. Therefore, I wanted to spread the word and base my giveaway with that concept.
