$50 My Salon Tools Giveaway!

MST

What better way to come back than to share a great giveaway! Well Leslie Loves Veggies has partnered with My Salon Tools to offer one of two chances to win a $50 gift certificate to their online store! With the gift certificate, you will have your chance to select from a variety of professional hair straighteners and flat irons or blow dryers from popular brands such as Babyliss, Hai, Karmin, Twin Turbo, Solano, and Hot Tools.  It’s possible you won’t need another flat iron so ask your sweetie if he is in need of a new set of clippers, or a trimmer or razor! My Salon Tools sells other products such as salon shears and scissors and cosmetology kits in case there are any hairstylists out there in the bridal blogsphere that might be in the market for some!

Every bride-to-be has at least one special event (and some have 5 or more!) outside their wedding day that will require them to get pretty, pampered, and prepared to make a grand entrance in front of friends and their family.  Brides will attend  engagement parties, bridal showers, bridesmaid luncheons, bachelorette parties and of course the big finale, their wedding! Sure there are many girls who will have their hair styled at a professional hair salon the day of their wedding  as it is one less thing for us to worry about the day of and for some of us (me being one) it would be scary to think about styling my own hair on my wedding day since I hate doing my hair every other day of the year! I know there are many brave brides out there that did an awesome job styling their own hair so kudos to you!  So on all these other fun and memorable event days where we will be the center of attention, we still want to look great right?

To enter the giveaway first head over to Leslie Love Veggies for giveaway details and entry rules.  Then head over to My Salon Tools to check  out their inventory and see if there is anything you might like to add to your bridal hairstyling tools.  Once you find something, head back over to Leslie Loves Veggies and tell her what item you have your eyes set on and how you would use your $50 gift certificate! Very simple and easy steps to enter and Leslie gives you more way than one to do so. How awesome is that?

The giveaway ends on March 20th so make sure to visit Leslie’s blog and enter!

Back in the Blogging Groove

So I’ve taken about a 3 month hiatus from The Oceanside Bride blog for more reasons than one.  I think I mentioned in a earlier posts (earlier being back in November) that my fiancé has been out of full time work since last September which as you can expect put a hold on many things (including the wedding) and yes, has definitely tested us in all aspects of our life and future together. Big bummer but thanks to God we’ve witnessed many blessing since then. We started an e-commerce business, Wisemark Distributions (using his and our awesome business partner Andrew’s previous technology experience).  With him no longer committed to working a 9-5, he’s been able to devote 150% of his time to really jump start our online stores.  Business is slowly but surely picking up and we’re staying positive this opportunity only leads us to better and brighter things in the future!

Our three main online stores are My Salon Tools, Scrubbing In, and School of Uniforms.  I”m hoping soon we’ll launch one more directly tied to the “ocean side” bride theme and create an online store for beach wedding decor and favors! What do you think?

So now that things have settled with our decision to postpone our wedding and re-focus our energy on continuing to build our relationship stronger with each other, with God and our families, as well as move forward with our new business venture together, hopefully I’ll be able to get back in the blogging groove on Oceanside Bride and offer more great tips, tricks, and wedding details for the beach bride!

Oh and great news- my sister got engaged over Christmas so our family is still planning a “backyard wedding” for this November at a cabin in the mountains of Helen, Georgia! Maybe I should talk her into starting a “backyard wedding” blog! =)
