Welcome to the new Beyoutiful Beauty!

Hey guys! Over the weekend I decided to go self-hosted with WordPress, and even though it was a bit of a process (because I suck at technology sometimes, not because of the process itself), I’m so happy I made the switch.

Saturday afternoon I met up with my friend Amanda from Notes from a Newlywed at Starbucks (free wi-fi. Yay!), and she really helped me work through self-hosting since she did it herself a few months ago. After working through a few glitches, I got my new site up and running at www.beyoutiful-beauty.com! I’m still playing around with a few things, like widgets and themes, so there may be some tweaking in the near future, but I was just excited to get this all up and running and let you guys know about it.

Blogger Basket Swap!

I just participated in my very first activity with other bloggers, and it was a Basket Swap. It was so much fun! I was paired up with two people, one of whom sent me a basket and one of whom I sent a basket to. Here is the basket I received from Bekah Walsh at Bekah’s Resolve! She gave me so many amazing beauty products (and chocolate!), and I can’t wait to try all of these out. I got excited so I took everything out of the box before I took a picture, sorry about that, but anyway here we go!

All of the wonderful items in my basket!

Homemade Card

 

Method Mimosa Sun Naturally Derived Hand Wash

 

Cadbury Caramel Eggs

Arbonne Aromassentials Awaken Body Lotion

Selena Gomez–Nicole by OPI Nail Polish in the shade Scarlett

 

Mini Nicole by OPI Sparkly Silver Nail Polish

Arbonne Calm Facial Set

 

Highland Mint Badger Lip Balm

I can’t wait to try out all of these products! I haven’t tried anything that she sent me before, so it’s going to be super fun to experiment with some new products. Thanks so much, Bekah, for sending me such a great basket! I had a great time participating in this swap, and I definitely look forward to doing this again in the future 🙂
