“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner... I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”
~ Audrey Hepburn
A terrific Tuesday to you all! Today we are sharing the fourth of seven little giveaways I had promised for this little blog! I call it the "pretty in pink giveaway" because of the obvious -- all the pretty pink goodies that exalt the feminine spirit. These are the sweet little details that add a splash of lovely into your homemaking life. Perhaps it is a swipe of light pink shimmer across your lips or the aroma of soft pink petals floating from your skin. You are a special creation, different from man and it is beautiful to stand out as one. I think pink glorifies femininity. In this modern age, to me at least -- pink stands for the softer side, the gentle, the delicate but also the strong and faithful women who aren't afraid to be women.
I have included some of my feminine favorites here. Close friends of mine might laugh at me doing a "beauty-type" giveaway because I am not a big cosmetics person. My "make-up" bag consists of three items - lip shimmer, lip balm and mascara. But my weakness is fresh floral fragrances and lavish soaps and creams. I hope you enjoy my assortment of beauty products!
Now let the fun begin!..💕
This giveaway includes:
Set/3 Anatomy of a Fragrance "Fresh Cut Trio" Perfumes by Illume (from Anthropologie) 5 ml each,
- Honey Rose Eau De Parfum
- Wildflower Bergamot Eau De Parfum
- Orchid Vanille Eau De Parfum

~ Gladys Taber

Too many to list. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this delightfully perfect pink giveaway. You have reminded me it is okay to take time to care for me.

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things about being a woman is when the final decision is hard, I trust my husband's judgment and know that's best.

Blessings!

ReplyDeleteAs a woman, I have choices. I can live my life in stages, young womanhood, young motherhood, and now as a mom of young adults. I can embrace beauty as much or as little as I desire. I can have my nails done and lift my spirits or enjoy flowers and fragrance to calm me. It all centers around my LORD Jesus, and as a nurturing woman, I can speak life and splash Jesus over all around me.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage

ReplyDeleteWhat I love about being a woman is everything!!! God made me female and I love being a female. Especially since I love men! But most especially my man! God is too good. Love the pink and all that comes with it.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, I don't believe I have ever thought about it. But I suppose I would have to say being sensitive to others' hurts and needs. Homemaking and being tender hearted toward my hubby.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sweet of you to give all these beauties away! Lord bless you shugga.
That no matter what may be going on in the world, I know that the Lord has blessed me with the greatest privilege of being a woman. A helpmate for my husband, a mom to my kids (and others kids as well),
ReplyDeleteand a friend in a way only a woman can
My favorite part of being a woman is my ability to be a loving, nurturing Mama and Grammy.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part about being a woman is being a wife and mother and a keeper at home. Thank you for hosting such a lovely giveaway
ReplyDeleteEverything is so feminine looking! Just what we women need! My favorite thing about being a woman is that God made me soft, intuitive, affectionate and the perfect helpmeet for my husband. He is also perfect for me. Thanks, God!
ReplyDeleteBeing a woman is a glorious appointment from our Lord and Saviour! to bear children and to raise them for Him! Being a mother and wife is the most important job for a Christian woman, and the most satisfying. Id it wasn't so, I'd have so give up all my "pink" clothing! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Gladys Taber is one of my all-time favorite authors, so well done. And what I love most about being female is the right to embellish. I can be far more whimsical than husband can be, which includes using the word "whimsical" without reproachment.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of being a woman is being able to wear dresses, make up, do my hair, etc and feel beautiful. I also love being able to serve and love others in my homemaking role - especially my family!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful give away! :)
If I had to choose just one thing, it would be motherhood. I am so happy to have been able to experience the joy of being a young mom and then to watch my children growing up. - Michele
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things about being a woman is the joy it gives me to make things beautiful. Maybe a vase of flowers or maybe freshly vacuumed carpets, but making things beautiful gives me such a happy heart!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to enter your giveaway. I too sparsely wear makeup these days. Love pinks. Pink is dear to my heart as I am living with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Pink is the color for breast cancer. And it also happens to be my favorite color. The part I like best about being a woman is being a mother the ability to produce life, nurture and raise it . Being in touch with my feminine side yet having a will of steel when I need too. I love watching my children grow up and become adults. Even though t times I wish they were babies again to save them the heartache and disappointments that life brings. I enjoy teaching them life tips. And making memories with them for them.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of being a woman (which of course is not exclusive to women) is making a home for my family. Decorating it so it is welcoming, preparing meals that give comfort and creating a refuge from the big scary world. Could you please tell me where you found the quote from Gladys Taber about pink words? It is so perfect and I love her writings. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say giving birth to my children and being a mother. Thank you for the chance lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about being a woman is that I gave birth to 2 children who are grown and now have children of their own. May the circle continue. I love pink....I have lots of hot pink incorporated in my home, along with turquoise. Happy colors! Peace and blessings!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing...being able to bear children. I believe that it draws me closer to the Lord, and perhaps helps me to understand His perspective a bit more deeply. He loves us in spite of our humanness, but for our potential as His own. I think mothers are that way about our children. We love them for their potential. I think that makes it easier to be more forgiving. Also, our roll as helpmeets, when we are trained for it from an early age, may make it easier to humble ourselves to our Lord. Poor men are culturally trained to be self-sufficient and to "stand on their own two legs" which seems the antithesis of humility...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part about being a woman is being a daughter, wife & mother (& this is a big one for me because I had infertility problems)!! I enjoy making our house a home and being able to entertain our friends & family in it. Sooo many reasons to enjoy being who God created me to be!! Thanks so much for the PINK giveaway!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeing able to be strong but soft at the same time. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYour giveaways are so special! Thank you for thinking of us, your readers, as you put these together.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about being female/feminine/woman? Hard to choose, but I think it might be the nurturing role that god has given me.
I have never thought about what my favorite thing about being is. I wasn't able to carry to term so, motherhood was out. So I guess I would say being the daughter of a king.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about being a woman is that I get to be the softer half of a partnership with a Godly man. I got to be pregnant and give birth to and nurse our five children. I think being a mother is one of the most empowering things a woman can do.
