2 Year Blogiversary Giveaway!

by Nicole on July 21, 2011

I’m in love with this giveaway. So in love, that I will be buying this for myself, while my readers have the chance to win it!

2 years have gone by since I’ve started blogging. Blogging has opened up a lot of doors for me and helped me follow my heart to a career path that I would never have thought of only 2 years ago. While, I’m not ready to share my full story, I will share a piece of it.

Part of the amazing thing about blogging is the online community. A lot of people don’t understand blogs or twitter, but I LOVE it. Twitter has helped me connect with like minded people and meet some of them in real life. One of my most favorite people who is a blog friend turned real life connection is Erica. She is a strong, inspirational, gorgeous jewelry designer who I am kind of obsessed with. She designs beautiful pieces, all of which I want in my collection, which is why I feel SO lucky and grateful that she designed this necklace for me (AND YOU!)

So the story of my mini bakery and this piece:

With all of my new business ventures, I had to come up with a name for my baked goods. I was having a hard time thinking of one that would be perfect. One day I was sitting in my classroom and shut the door because of all of the noise. There was a quote behind the door, “follow your bliss” by Joseph Campbell. My co-teacher had put it up months before, but I had never taken the time to actually appreciate the meaning. Just like that Pure Bliss Eats was born. It was so obvious once I read the quote.

And now, months later…with Erica’s amazingness, this was born. You have a chance to win this gorgeous amazing, inspirational necklace!

It’s a 1/2″ gold filled disc button necklace with “Follow Your Bliss”  engraved on it. Don’t ‘cha love it?

Winner will be picked by random number generator on Monday, July 25th.

How to enter:

Mandatory Entry: Share one way you are or would like to “follow your bliss” or your dreams.

Optional Entries: Leave a separate entry for each!

1. “Like” me on facebook. Leave a comment here, telling me you did.

2. Follow me on twitter and tweet ” @Nicoleculver is having an @ericasara designs “Follow Your Bliss” giveaway!  http://networkedblogs.com/kG1rY

Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading! Can’t wait to see who wins!

I love this! Actually, I’ve been looking for something just like this since “Bliss” is in my blog name. It’s very similar to a tattoo I almost got, too. I truly believe in following our bliss whatever they may be. Happiness is the most important thing. :)

A dream of mine has always been to travel to Europe. A honeymoon there would have been lovely but expensive so we decided to search for jobs overseas. Not an easy task but after months of applying and interviewing we finally got positions and made the big move! Saying goodbye to family and friends for two years was not easy but this was something I needed to do for me and here I am day three in London and loving it!! Follow your dreams… they really do come true :)

Hi Nicole! Congrats on 2 years doing what you love and helping others do the same. I”m so happy for you that you’re finding success and joy in such a positive, powerful field.

I follow my bliss by studying what I love in a city I love, and by always finding many things to be grateful for at the end of each and every day!
