Monat + Giveaway: One bottle of shampoo changed my life.

May 13, 2015 by Susan 23 Comments

Okay, so I exaggerate a lot. Like, “OMG my legs hurt so bad after leg-day at the gym, that I cannot even walk.” Really, Suz? You cannot walk? If I set a piece of gluten-free, magical, no-calorie brownie sundae here in front of you, you’re saying that you couldn’t walk over to it? Yeah… I thought so.

But here’s the thing. I’m not exaggerating when I say that a bottle of shampoo (and it’s friend Mr. Conditioner) changed my life. You have all heard me rant and rave about my hair problems. I was blessed with some sort of hormonal change in my late 20’s, giving me this completely wack-a-do ‘do. Straight, sleek and flat in the front. Party, craziness, white-girl-dreads and oodles of volume in the back. I have tried over 20 different products and NOTHING has helped. Until Monat.

One of my college friends recently asked to sample a new shampoo line. She swore up and down that I would love it because of what it would do to my hair. Then she threw in the fact that it was organically-based, not tested on animals and made right here in the good ole USA. While the results ended up speaking for themselves - the fact that it is a clean and organic product is what really sparked my interest. I mean, I never really thought about what kind of crap I was putting in my hair on a daily basis… until now.

So how about the results?

Now, first of all, I really cannot believe that I was even going out in public with the back of my hair looking like the nappy mess that it was. Secondly, even my friends are experiencing amazing results!

2 cats & chloe: monat volumizing hair product results

So here’s the thing. I tried it. I forced my friends to try it (to prove that I wasn’t crazy, or some sort of fluke. I mean, no one wants to fall victim to a too-good-to-be-true fade right?) And I have yet to meet anyone that this product did not help. So… I decided that I didn’t have enough to do (you know, with running multiple businesses, blogging, moving and the impending wedding season…) so why not sell this miracle product as well?!

Monat Volumizing Results - Suz

A few questions may be zooming through your mind right now… like, how long does the volume last? Girls, I am going 2-3 days with lasting volume. These pictures were taking after a full day, plus sleeping on it, plus brunch:

Want in on this party?

Here’s what you need to do: Try the Volume System for volume (duh!), more shine, less frizz/fly-aways/breakage. Try the Balance System for sleek and smooth styles with more brilliance, strength, vitality and overall hair health. All products come with a 30 day money back guarantee, so you can order with confidence. Don’t like it after trying it for a couple of weeks? No problem! Send it on back!

On to the deets:

CELEBRATE SOUTHERN PODCAST + Giveaway + Linkup: Blog Layout Must-Haves!

March 23, 2015 by Susan 6 Comments

So let’s be real… I could ramble about boring things like blog layout, design and whitespace for hours and hours. But we try to keep our podcasts to a 30-ish minute max, so don’t fret.

I think my favorite part of my day-job is taking pieces of sales copy, playing devil’s advocate, cranking creative juices then tearing them apart. As nicely as possible, of course. Maybe it sounds odd, but I passionately love looking at websites, blogs, sales flyers, business cards, and even clients’ restaurant menus (yup, even restaurants need marketing tips!) and trying to find a way to do them a wee bit differently, using a creative twist.

2 cats & chloe: Blog talk: Blog layout blog design in the celebrate southern podcast

Okay, maybe I simply love this week’s podcast because I’m a nerd. Or maybe it’s because it’s chalked full of good content! Whether you are a blog-expert or a newbie, isn’t it always so much fun to talk about our blog design?? Mine is never the way I want it. It’s an ever-changing monster that I adore! My layout to-do list is typically longer than my post to-do list! And I’m okay with that.

Why is this topic so important? Personally, I feel like your blog design says a lot about you and your “product” (i.e. your blog.) It’s the first impression that your current readers and future readers get of you. So, again, in my personal opinion, your blog design can be just as important as your content in most cases!

This week the Celebrate Southern Gals are bringing you a triple whammy! A podcast! A linkup! And a giveaway! It doesn’t get much cooler than that y’all!

I am THRILLED to announce that I have added “Let’s Talk Blog” to my list of services! I’m a marketing professional with a passion for helping small businesses and blogs “think outside of the box” when it comes to their branding and social media. So to kick off this new service - I’m giving away one free session! Let’s have some tea, or a glass of wine together over a skype or google hangout sesh - and talk blog! Oh, I will als0 send you a questionnaire and will then do a review of your site and/or social media prior to our session to so we can make the most of our blog-date! (For more details on the “Let’s Talk” service - check out my Advertise page.)

NYE at the River: Comfortable with a Touch of Glitter

December 31, 2014 by Susan 6 Comments

Before this post starts - let me just say that I am a lifestyle blogger. Not a fashion blogger. I adore all of my fashion friends so much and I am constantly reaching out to y’alls blogs for inspiration when it comes to my wardrobe. However, when a girl needs inspiration for New Years Eve spent partying in the Middle-of-No-Where, NC… inspiration is minimal.

Here’s what I knew I wanted: comfy, warm, a touch of glam {but not too much… remember the setting… they would laugh at me if I came in wearing a LBD!} and something that I could rock leggings with when I get tired of wearing my jeans. Because let’s be real, the theme of the day is eating and drinking - elastic waist bands = winning.

And here’s what my closet threw up for me to wear:

2 cats & chloe: New Years Eve at the River 2 cats & chloe: Comfy with a touch of glitter2 cats & chloe: burgundy and glitter 2 cats & chloe: Loving my new mukluks Don’t you just LOVE my new boots? I’m kinda obsessed with them. And when I say “kinda obsessed” I mean #OBSESSED!

Now go fill your glass with some sparklin’ champagne, surround yourself with friends and family - and eat that last bite of chocolate. The #2catsWhole30 starts tomorrow. Cheers and Love… Happy New Year Y’all!

OH! And for those of you who are feeling lucky this New Year’s Eve… I teamed up with a handful of lovely bloggers to bring you a Crate & Barrel Giveaway!

Giveaway: Who loves Amazon?

October 6, 2014 by Susan 14 Comments

Forget this weekend… where in the world did last week go? Honestly, my last few weeks have been quite the blur. Between working three jobs, handling all sorts of unnecessary drama, and then transferring my blog from blogger to wordpress (still a work in progress) thank God for my to-do list! I am so grateful that I am obsessive about checking things off my list and keeping multiple calendars straight… otherwise I would be lost!

Now that I have that rant off my chest, I am super excited that it is Monday October 6th. Why? Because it’s my hubby’s birthday! Since we are building a house next year, we are trying to save all of our pennies. So his birthday presents this year were just silly little things, along side of an awesome birthday themed cookout this past weekend. {He told me no party… We compromised for a cookout, sans pinata.}

Since it is his birthday, and gift giving is part my “love language” - how about we do a little {i.e. HUGE!} giveaway here for you?
