Facebook ~ Twitter ~ My Shaklee ~ Instagram

All about my world! Everything from recipes, to crafts, to fun links up and photography!

Ashley from Beauty Flawed

Facebook ~ Twitter ~ Youtube

My name is Ashley and I started Beauty Flawed over a year ago because I wanted a place where I could share my opinions on products I was trying out. My friends and family have always come to me when they have questions about beauty products so I decided blogging would be a great way to share with not only them but with others who are interested in beauty products. I primarily review beauty products but I also include bits of fashion, design, and everyday life in my blog too!

Beth from Arrow In The Eye

Twitter ~ Facebook ~ Instagram

Hello there! I’m Beth, the girl behind the blog Arrow in the Eye. I’m a 20 something Southern raised very opinionated dog Momma and Apple product loving wife to a nerdy guy named Josh. We currently call the DC Metro area home because it was always my dream to live in the second worst city for traffic in United States.. Ok so maybe it wasn't my life long dream... After moving away from my family in south eastern Virginia, I decided to jump on the blog wagon and start one up to help keep in touch with friends and family I left behind. My blog mostly documents my adventures in junktiquing ( junking + antiquing = junktiquing), thrifting, my travels across the country, my attempts at trying to cook something edible and trying not to burn myself with the glue gun. So hop on over and feel free to lurk!

Katlyn from The Dreamy Meadow

Facebook ~ Twitter ~ Pinterest ~ Hello Cotton

The Dreamy Meadow is a life and inspirational blog based around my family. My name is Katlyn and I am an 18 year old mother and wife. I work as a Virtual Assistant and do some design aspects on the side. I love getting to know new people! So come say hi! :)

Lucy from The Icing On My Cupcake

Twitter ~ Tumblr

I've always maintained I was born to be a 1950's housewife. I find enjoyment in cleaning my house, cooking and baking, general crafty loveliness and my bunny rabbit, Major Tom. I like anything pink, sparkley, adorned with a pin up girl or a bunny, horror films and dinosaurs.

Vicki from Live In My Heart

Scentsy ~ Pinterest ~ Twitter

I'm a 27 year old mommy to Hailey and wife to Eric. I work full time dealing with the lovely world of cable. Naturally I LOVE TV shows. I spend my free time spending time with my little family, crafting, cleaning (ugh!), and enjoying life. My blog is about anything and everything that happens in my life, so don't expect something designated specifically towards one thing. I like variety!

Melissa from While It Rains

Twitter ~ Facebook ~ Pinterest ~ Instagram

while it rains is a seattle based mommy blog in which i am the coordinator of chaos. it's a little bit about raising four kids (a man child, a dog, a cat, and three fish too!) and a little bit about mommy – going back to school and navigating life as a new wife and homeowner. it really is, more simply put, a running monologue of the misadventures that are our life...

Linda from My Passion Is

Twitter ~ Pinterest ~ Instagram (@linda_anne) 

I am a 26 year old law student living in NYC with my boyfriend. My blog is about my life, exploring NYC, scrapbooking, photography, cooking, crafting, and pretty much anything else that I am passionate about!

Kelly from Leafy Not Beefy

Shop ~ Facebook ~ Twitter ~ Bloglovin

My blog started out as a way for me to share what I'm liking/eating on my journey to health. While that is still one of my goals for my blog, I've also discovered I like to share more about fashion, my faith, and whatever else pops into my head. I'm not as organized as I wish I was, I'm not as structured as I probably should be, but I'm learning to be okay with it. Life isn't about perfection, it's about enjoying and making the journey meaningful -- learning, laughing, crying, ...living. 

Stephanie from Our Marriage Adventure

Facebook ~ Twitter (@MrsOurMA) ~ Pinterest 

Hey Y'all! Our Marriage Adventure is a real look at what happens after the fairytale wedding and "I - Do." In other words, I keep it real by sharing the love, laughter, tears, and trials so you can look at your marriage and know you aren't alone. We're all crazy! So come on over and visit for a few.

I get embarrassingly attached to fictional characters. And, in my head, I'm best friends with Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone. Come on over to my blog and say "Hey!"

Cassie from Momity

Twitter ~ Facebook ~ Pinterest

I'm a young married stay at home mom of two little boys, ages 1 and 3! I recently became a part time student as well. We are just laughing, loving and figuring it all out as we go. If the kids are alive and dinner isn't burnt, I consider the day a success!

Guest Post & Giveaway From Crazy Beautiful Unique

Hey ya'll (that's Southern for 'hello everyone;)! My name is Celeste and I am a sponsor this month on Lindsey's amazing blog. I thought I would introduce myself so you can get to know me a little better.

I blog over at Crazy Beautiful Unique where I talk about all kinds of stuff. On Tuesdays, I have a feature called "5 Great Etsy Gifts for...", where I go window shopping on Etsy and find 5 items that would make great gifts within that week's theme. Last week, the theme was Autumn, so I found cute hats, scarves, and gloves on Etsy to share with my readers. I would love for you to stop by on Tuesdays to see what I find on Etsy :)

Speaking of Etsy, I also have a shop on there called A Girl and Her Clay. I sell cute charms and jewelry that I made from polymer clay. It's a new craft medium for me, but I'm loving it so far! Clay is so versatile and easy to work with. I'm still learning lessons about the do's and don'ts of clay along the way. For example, I placed some charms I made on a Styrofoam plate to make more room on my craft table. Well, when it came time for me to take the charms of the plate and place them in the oven, the charms had begun to form a sticky bound to the plate. I had to take my blade and gently scrape them off. Lesson learned! LOL!

On the more personal side - I've been married for almost 6 years to the most amazing man who is truly my best friend and better half. We have two 'fur babies' together, a dog named Peanut and a cat named Oreo. We love to spend time together walking, talking, playing video and board games, watching anime (Japanese cartoons) and hanging out with our friends.

I am a certified expanded duty dental assistant, which is very hard to become. The national board test you have to take are incredibly hard, but rewarding once you know you've passed them. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to work as a dental assistant because about 2 months after graduating from school, I was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome. This affects the right side of my body (which I'm right-handed) so I don't trust myself to handle sharp instruments around patients just yet. Along with this, I also deal with depression, bipolar disorder, and gluten intolerance. My life isn't easy, but I'm living and trying my best to stay positive. 

Thanks for reading this and getting to know me a little bit better. I have tons more to tell you, but I don't have the time or space to in this guest post :) I guess you'll have to come visit me at my blog to learn more about me. I look forward to meeting you :)

Now, head below to enter Celeste's giveaway! One of my readers will win a Pink French Macaroon Necklace and two Iced Chocolate Doughnut Cell Phone Charms. Ends on October 8th. Also, Celeste is giving my readers 20% off in her shop! Code: DREAMS20

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Sponsor Chase All Your Dreams In October

Sponsorship is completely free, unless you like to help a college student out, then it's $1 (it's technically $5, but you get $4 off with a discount code). But if you just want to swap buttons, I'm totally down with that. Just go to my sponsor page and you'll find passionfruit. If we swapped buttons this month and you would like to renew, email me: mscdyson@ymail.com and I'll renew your button on October 1st.

I look forward swapping and sponsoring you next month!

Have a lovely day!

First & Last: Concerts

I'm linking up to Ashley, of House of Glass, First & Last series. Today is about my first & last concert.

My first concert was Ashlee Simpson at the Roosevelt Field Mall, but I really couldn't see her too well. And I don't really remember it. So my real first concert was Warped Tour 2008 when I was 17. I saw The Academy Is..., Every Avenue, and We The Kings. It was amazing and it was a great experience. Ever since than, I've been going every summer.

Every Avenue & I (They've changed so much; their music and style has changed for the better)

The Academy Is...

Ironically, the last concert I went to was Warped Tour 2012. I went with my friend and her friends and I had an amazing time. It was much better than last year's. I saw Tonight Alive, You Me At Six, Sleeping With Sirens, Yellowcard, Funeral Party, and Pierce The Veil. 

My profile picture is from Warped Tour. I'm with Jenna, the lead singer of Tonight Alive. They are the nicest people and I love their band. 

Tonight Alive

Funeral Party (I missed the first 2 two songs in their set; those 2 happen to be my favorite)

You Me At Six (Best crowd ever!)

Sleeping With Sirens (It was starting to get dark and I was really far away, but my friend and I enjoyed it; perfect ending to my night & day)

Pierce The Veil

That's it! 

Have a lovely night!
