It’s My First Blogiversary!

Today, my friends, is a VERY exciting day:

October 21st, 2014 is my first blogiversary!

(I’ve been doing Valerie & Valise, formerly Valise Magazine for you old fans, for a year as of today!)

I have lots of posts planned in the next week which look at how far I’ve come and some of the really exciting things I have planned in the next year, but for now, let’s have a PARTY!, shall we?

To celebrate, I’ve gotten group of really cool sponsors and products together to show my thanks for all your support. You have TONS of ways to enter the contest, and only a few that are required… you can also earn BONUS entries by tweeting about the contest each day, and referring friends!

Here are the details:

1. The contest runs NOW through 11:59pm PST on Friday, October 31st, 2014.
2. The winner will be contacted by email over the weekend after that, and announced on Monday, November 3, 2014.
3. Anyone and everyone can enter–no international restrictions, no age restrictions!
4. There are TWO GRAND PRIZES: one that is more lady-focused, and one that is more dude-focused. If two ladies or two dudes are chosen, I’ll arrange it so you get the optimal prize for your personal preference.
