Shabby Apple ***ENDED***

I first learned about Shabby Apple months ago and have since been in awe of all they have to offer. Their dresses are amazing looking! So unique and we all know how I feel about uniqueness! :) Shabby Apple cares about women and not just how we look in their stylish attire. They care about all women throughout the world. They donate 5% of all net profits to Unitus; an organization that provides loans to women in poverty stricken areas of the world. How cool is that? Way to go Shabby Apple! I love you even more than I did before!

At Shabby Apple you will find stylish dresses:



Gorgeous jewelry:



Unique handbags:


Flattering hair pieces:


SHOES:

Even CUTE dresses for the little girls!

ReUsies ***ENDED***

What mom isn't constantly packing around snacks for her toddler? Not just for toddlers, but for older kids and even for herself! When my son reached the age of requiring snacks throughout the day this became a major pain for me, because the plastic containers were so bulky in my bag. So I switched to those little plastic baggies, because they just fit better in the diaper bag. You all know that became even more of a pain. Of course they were only good for single use, would tear sometimes during that first use, and I thought, "What a waste!" Fortunately I found ReUsies! This is the eco-friendly alternative for snack and sandwich bags! ReUsies said that they would send me some of their snack and sandwich size bags and I must admit at first I was just slightly skeptical. But that mindset changed very fast once I actually saw them in person. ReUsies are made from great material to prevent leakage, but are also machine washable. Making them totally reusable! Goodbye plastic baggies! :) What's more...ReUsies are both functional and fun looking! There are so many snack and sandwich ReUsies to choose from:
Aren't all of these fabric options so cute and fun for the kiddos?
The winner of this giveaway is going to receive a snack size and a sandwich size bag just like I did! So enter to win! This giveaway is open to anyone who resides anywhere in the world, so that means anyone can enter to win. :)

Salon Soiree Hair cut and Style ***ENDED***

Some days I really miss living in Utah. I miss the powdery snow and beautiful mountains. I miss the dry summers and cool evenings. I miss the family and friends I have there. I miss the great haircuts... That's right I said haircuts! We all know how difficult it is to find a stylist that we like and once we do then it's horrible if we move away. The finding process starts all over again. Well, if you live in Provo, Utah (or in the vicinity) then I have a stylist for you. I first met Floralyn through a friend about 10 years ago. She has been in the business since before then, so you know that she's a talented and experienced hair stylist! You can find Floralyn at Salon Soiree at 3129 N. Canyon Rd., Provo, UT. If you would like to schedule an appointment with Floralyn she can be reached at: (801) 356-3295. One very lucky winner is going to be able to schedule an appointment for a haircut and style that is free of charge, because that is the giveaway! In addition to the free cut and style, the winner will also have the option to get another service for 50% off if they would like one. So that means the winner could get color for half off! What a great giveaway! How about the rest of the blog readers? Well, there's a 20% off discount off all services for first time clients on their first visit. Just mention that you are a first-timer at Salon Soiree and that you heard about them on Dandy Giveaway!

Tutu's and More ***ENDED***

In a past life (from the time I was 4 until 11) I was a ballerina. Obviously I wasn't talented enough to continue. For some reason I have no rhythm and probably only stayed with it for so long, because I LOVED to dress like a ballerina! There is just something about a tutu that made me feel all prima donna. I know with assurity that I wasn't the only little girl who loved sporting a tutu. In fact, the tutu phenomenon is still a favorite of the little girls of today. But because of the shop Tutu's and More the little girls of today have such easy access to such cute tutus! At Tutu's and More there are options for every little girl.
Girls who are talented in dance and ballet can find tutus:



And the little girls like me, who have no rhythm, can find tutus...without having to suffer through years of ballet to get that tutu! :)

The owner of Tutu's and More sent me the cutest little tutu and it took me way back to my ballerina days. I'm sure that my little nieces are going to love it and I'm glad that I'm able to share my love for ballerina tutus with them!

Tutu's and More is even the place to create a custom tutu! You can specify the size and there are so many colors of tulle to choose from:

What's more at Tutu's and More?

Ultra trendy pettiskirts:

Even silk screen tie shirts for boys!

So there's something for all children at Tutu's and More!!!

I love the shop Dress Up Dreams Boutique not just because they have so many cute things for children, but because I love shops that truly give back. They organize fashion show fundraisers to benefit St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital and this is a charity that really touches my heart.
