Miss Moon's Musings Third Birthday Giveaway: Day One!!!

Whoo Hooo!!! Today is the THIRD ANNIVERSARY of Miss Moon's Musings!!!! It seems like only yesterday that this blog was created. Where does the time go?!?

I started my blog on this day, way back in 2009 for a very good reason. June 9th is also the day one of my greatest she-ro's in the world, my late Grandmother Vivian was born. I thought it would be awesome to celebrate my blog's birthday and her birthday each year! And it has been! :)

My Grandmother (with Grandpa, of course!) on a date way back in the day. As you can see... I am definitely "Vivian 2.0"! It always astonishes me how much I look like her!

Three is definitely a magic number to me, so I knew that I wanted to make this third birthday a very, very special one. So I reached out to some of my favorite shops online and asked if they wanted to join in on the fun. To my utter delight, they did! So with great excitement, I hereby announce.... the Miss Moon's Musings Third Birthday Giveaway!!! Yippeee!!!

That's right, y'all!!! For the next SEVEN days, at three o'clock p.m., I will be posting a new giveaway with some AMAZING gifts you will have the opportunity to score! It's my birthday, but you, my dear friends.. will be getting some kick ass pressies!! Each giveaway will remain open until Friday, June 22nd. I will then be announcing the winners in a very special blog.

To enter today's giveaway, a $10 Gift Certificate, courtesy of Flowers from Fatima, see below!!!

D-I-Y Nappturaliciously: Share Your Hair Curltastrophes & Win with NaturallyCurly.com!!!

Admit it: you have one, I have one... most of us have a Hair Curltasprohe Story. For me it was when I was still newly natural... I decided to dye my hair a bright vibrant RED. The color didn't take the first time, so I went out the next day and bought TWO MORE BOXES (!!!!!!) and promptly applied it to my hair. Suffice to say that my shoulder length hair became my earring length, as you can see in the photo below! LOL



NaturallyCurly.com is teaming up with Pantene for a chance for you to win a $500 grand prize package by asking you to share your most embarrassing curltastrophes.

“This is a way for us curly girlies to let go of our curltastrophe moments,” says Michelle Breyer, president and co-founder of NaturallyCurly.com. “My curltastrophe moment happened in college when I received a thio-based and lye relaxer combo. I had a chemical haircut and bald spots for almost 2 years! Let’s just say I always wore hats.” Check out other NaturallyCurly.com staffers’ curltastrophes in the video below!



Readers can take part in the ultimate giveaway with Pantene by telling us why they need a personal Pantene Curl Solution. Contestants are encouraged to send in their most embarrassing personal curltastrophe story and provide a picture (optional). Creativity and enthusiasm will be rewarded. Five lucky winners will receive a year supply of Pantene Curly Hair Series and a Flip video camera. Each prize is valued at $500.

To share your story (and for a chance to win!), visit http://www.naturallycurly.com/curltastrophe
