Bluum Toddler and Baby

Have you heard of Birchbox or Glossy Box? Pretty much it's a subscription to deluxe beauty samples delivered to you monthly.

Now there is a new company that I am collaborating with called Bluum. I can't wait to share all the new items that I love!

They send out samples of toddler/baby samples (depending which one you sign up for) and also include samples for mom. How cool is that?! Many times when I am at Target, I see products I want to try but don't want to pay full price and later find out it didn't work for my baby. I love the fact that they send out many organic and natural items. That shows that they truly care what they are putting in their boxes. This is an awesome way to test the waters before investing in a product. And who knows, you might find your new favorite!

The bluum toddler box will not be launching until January 1st. Until then, they have a landing page where moms can enter their email to win a free box.

You will be informed of the official launch and if you are interested, sign up for a membership at that time.

100 moms will win and receive a bluum box for the Holidays

Enter Here to win Free Bluum Box

Winners will be contacted by December 10th.

Till Next Time.

Stay Lovely,

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yesterday was a beautiful day at the park to celebrate Thanksgiving. Our family is way to big to fit into one house, so we rented a pavillion and had a HUGE feast. I made Sweet Potato Casserole (tried out the marshmallows recipe this time around). Here is the recipe I used :)

I am thankful for so many things! God, family, health, roof over my head, food to eat. We don't realize how blessed we truly are. It's when something is taken away from us that we finally see what we are missing. I am learning to be grateful each day for all the little things. I have had many things happen to me and I am grateful now because without those low points in my life, I would never realize what I have today.

Here are a few iphone photos from yesterday:

And thank you to all my lovely followers. Thank you for reading and following me along my journey. It means so much to me! I am so thankful for each one of you!

P.S. Today is the LAST day to enter the About Pretty Things Giveaway. Win two pieces of jewelry of Your choice. Click here to enter.

Till Next Time.

Stay Lovely,

Giveaway

Last week I mentioned there will be a Giveaway. Today About Pretty Things is giving away, not 1, but 2 pieces of your choice to one lucky Luba Lovely reader. I am excited because this is my first giveway on the blog and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to pass this on to one of you :)

My arm candy from last week wearing About Pretty Things Bracelets.

Here are a couple of my favorites that I also own c/o About Pretty Things:

The J'ADORE Bracelet

Blue Turquoise and Rose Gold Pave Bead Bracelet

PRETTY CHIC: Smooth Gold Links and Textured Silver Links Necklace with Navy Blue Suede

She also generously provided me with a coupon code I can pass on to all my readers for 20% off your entire order. These will make amazing Christmas presents and won't break the bank ;) Use code: LUBA20

Here is a little about her:

I am a Jewelry designer and Mom of 1 amazing little boy. I recently got out of the Navy, I served for 8 years and I loved it but it was time to do bigger, better things. I started to design jewelry earlier this year because I am a creative person at heart and I am into the arts (I used to be a ballet dancer). So making jewelry, for me, is a way of expressing myself. My jewelry is inspired by the seasons, colors and many other things! I like to make things that sparkle....that is just the girly side of me :). I am hoping people love my jewelry as much as I love making it.

Outfits and Lovelies

My computer is finally up and running.

Here are a few photos of outfits and family outings. And beautiful things, of course!

Enjoy :)

Something I wrote a few days ago...let's make the best of the short time we have here :)

Sun Fiesta on the Island. Lots of amazing food and vendors. Great time spent.

My little family. Photo taking in Seattle, WA on out vacation. Love them oh so much!

I received several stunning bracelets c/o About Pretty Things. All three are by this darling jewelry designer. She is talented and the pieces are simply gorgeous and affordable too. They really do speak for themselves. I have been wearing these on rotation since I received them.

Watch is by Relic (similar one here)

Follow her on instagram: @aboutprettythings

She is always coming out with new designs and love seeing her arm candy photos. Very inspiring.

Stay tuned for a giveaway coming in next couple weeks :)

I scored these precious pale pink ugg booties for my baby on eBay. Love how they are lined in sheep fur and are so soft. (Similar ones here)

The weather has been cooling down here in Florida. I love that I can finally wear boots and sweaters.
