Giveaway+ Party: Leopard & Lace Poshmark Party

Let me tell you a few things about me:

I like to party & throw parties, duh.

I love to shop, true dat.

I'm addicted to my iPhone (even if it's only half working at the momento) and my apps, it's a problem.

And I love making people smile. "I just like to smile, smiling's my favorite."

Those things being said, I am MORE then excited to announce that next Tuesday I will be co- hosting the Poshmark Leopard & Lace Virtual (In-App) Posh Party.

You should be excited too -- because Poshmark and I will be giving away, not one, but THREE $50 giftcards to Poshmark!!

What is Poshmark, you ask?

Poshmark is an easy way to connect, sell & purchase items from your favorite Fashion Bloggers, local boutiques and like-minded fashionista's and shopaholic's just like you. Poshmark's cover-shot's, posh parties, and "easy ship" method takes pesky steps out of selling online. Everything can be completed through the convenience of your iPhone. Seriously go download it now -- it's free!! (Poshmark does use Facebook as a log-in system BUT it will not post to your feed and your friends and subscribers will not be able to see you Poshmark activity.)

What is a Posh Party?

A posh party is a virtual in-app party that are often themed with ideas of what items will be sold/and what to sell. My party theme is Leopard & Lace. Rwarr!!

Expect tons of fun items to be listed, including some of my own personal items. And since you know I love to throw a party expect an "Amber Party" to the fullest. Goofiness, silliness and radicalness will occur, and who wants to miss out on that?

You MUST join in if you've ever wanted to party with me -- because I want to party with YOU! Yes, YOU!!

BEAUTY-FULL GIRLS GIVEAWAY: $50 to Fleming's Steak House

*Winner of the $50 to Fleming's is Erinn from Strawberry Swings and Things.*

Let me tell you a few things about me. I like to eat, and I like to eat out. But I'm also sort of vain and I like to stay slim. So when Fleming's asked me pay them visit and show how Beauty-Full girls survive a steak house experience, I was up for the challenge. Because you know what? I'm the kind of girl who, out of habit, orders a salad at a steak house. "Just a salad? Just a salad? Just a salad?"

I decided this trip out was going to be interesting for me, because I was determined not to order just a salad. However, the cobb salad with Lobster and vinaigrette was pretty tempting! I took my mom along with me, who also likes to eat and watches her figure.

I started my night out with a Russian Prom Queen, because the name sold me on the spot, and the blueberries & vodka sounded like a nice way to begin my night. And for 99 calories, it was right on point with my beauty-full plan. My Mom went with wine, she's classy like that.

I was off to a good start, only 99 calories and a small buzz going. I treated myself to a small piece of bread with flavored butter because, well, I was hungry. Deciding on what to order was a not easy, but surprisingly there were many options. Now, if I were a meat eater, which I'm not, I could have ordered the petite Mignon and there was a fabulous chicken breast option as well. Instead we took the seafood route.

We selected two seafood courses (the sole and the scallops) to share. We also picked two side dishes (the carrots and the green beans) to compliment our main courses. It turned out beauty-fully.
We made to sure to save room because the dessert menu was very tempting. We ordered a berry creme brulee, it was a heck of a night.

If you would like to win $50 to Fleming's (perfect for their 5 for 6 till & happy hour) leave a comment and contact information (blog link or email). And tell me who you would take to Fleming's and how you would keep your steak house trip beauty-full.*

A winner will be announced and or contacted Monday August 22nd.

*You must be a follower of Amber's Notebook via Google Friend Connect, Twitter or Facebook to qualify.

Things I love: Ponytails

N w let me preface this by mentioning I have no affiliation with Twistband I just REALLY love their products. I am big ponytail girl and I always wear my hair in them. Which means I am always on the hunt for the best ponytail hair ties, and I think I finally have found them. I first mentioned these adorable hairbands in this post and why I originally purchased them. I just ordered my second batch and I think they are just too cute. I wear them stacked on my wrists and I get compliments on them all the time, and everyone always asks where I got them. And I swear they have done so much for my hair. Unlike other hairbands they don't cause breakage in my hair, and I am certain they would be good for all hair types, thin like mine or super thick. Oh and the price for the amount I purchased was about $10 less then the ones Shopbop.com is hawking. And lastly I never lose them like I used to with regualr hair ties, and for me that is saying A LOT!
ShopBop's Version $45 for four.

For some other cute ponytail accessories (I love dangly earring and ponytails) check out the current giveaway I am hosting!
