The Soubrette Brunette's FAIRY Happy Birthday Giveaway

Tomorrow is my 36th birthday, and of course, I'm marking the occasion with a giveaway! In honor of one of my favorite costumes of this past year and something I've loved since childhood, this year's giveaway is all about having a FAIRY happy birthday.

This 35th year has been one of unexpected change—both good and bad—and undeniable transformation. Interestingly, I'd already decided on the theme of this giveaway before researching whether it has any relevant symbolism. Lo and behold, it does: Among other things, fairies can represent magic, nature, and...transformation. 

With that in mind, I've put together a magical prize package that will help you transform into a fairy princess in your own right and to live out your fae fantasies. Because you're never too old to believe in fairies (or become one).

One (1) winner will receive a fairy-themed giveaway prize package that includes:

• $50 gift card to Selkie or JessaKae (winner's choice)
• cottagecore wicker mushroom basket purse
• The Complete Book of the Flower Fairies
• pumpkin fairy print from The Art of Stephanie Marie
• Pacifica animal magic eyeshadow palette
• mystic faerie tarot deck
• fairy perfume by Wanderlust Botanicals
• butterfly temporary tattoos
• flower potion stickers
• fairy realm candle
• butterfly hair claw
• acorn necklace

This package is worth over $250! But if you want to win, you must follow the rules outlined below.

All giveaway participants must enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter below. (If you have trouble getting it to load, please try again on your desktop or laptop instead of your mobile device!)

** You MUST complete ALL REQUIRED ENTRIES EXACTLY AS WRITTEN to be eligible to win. ** I will disqualify entrants who fail to complete required entries correctly. Follow all directions so you don't lose out! :)

This giveaway is now open worldwide and will close at 11:59 PM ET on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024. One (1) giveaway winner will be chosen at random through the widget and contacted via the email address provided in their entries, so remember to include a valid email address in your blog post comment! Anonymous commenters must identify themselves clearly so I can contact them if they win. No other platforms will be used to contact winners for this giveaway. The contacted winner must respond to my email within 48 hours of message receipt or a new winner will be chosen. Once confirmed, the winner will be displayed via the widget below. 

This giveaway is hosted and sponsored by The Soubrette Brunette.

The Soubrette Brunette's 35th Birthday Party Giveaway!

 

It's pretty surreal to think that I turn 35(?!) this week. Turning 30 felt kind of scary – mostly because of what was going on in my life at the time. But 5 years later... I feel so much calmer, so much more content, and so much more settled into myself and my life. And while societal pressures still exist, I'm not all that preoccupied with them. I'm just determined to celebrate myself and figure it all out as I go at my own pace.

I actually had a harder time figuring out the theme for this giveaway than with turning 35. (When you've hosted so many themed giveaways over the years, you start to run out of ideas.) But I finally decided to throw a party with this year's giveaway – and you're invited to celebrate with me in style!

One (1) winner will receive a birthday party-themed prize package that includes:

• Betsey Johnson "Stack of Gifts" crossbody purse
• Kate Spade cake pendant necklace
• Packed Party confetti belt bag + cake sipper
• Jenny Lemons cake-shaped hair claw
• Colourpop Feelin' Bubbly eyeshadow palette
• Lauren Conrad rose gold bow earrings
• Pastel Mickey balloon keychain
• Pink sprinkle knot headband
• Ban.do cake de-stress ball
• Vintage Parties book
• Eos birthday cake lip balm
• Pink confetti nail polish

...PLUS some extra party-themed treats!

But if you want to win, be sure to follow the rules below.

As usual, all giveaway participants must enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter widget below. (If you have trouble getting it to load, please try on desktop instead of your mobile device!)

** You MUST complete ALL REQUIRED ENTRIES EXACTLY AS WRITTEN to be eligible to win. I'm funding 100% of this giveaway myself this year, so I will be a stickler about this. Triple-check to make sure you've completed all necessary entries and followed all directions. (I will disqualify you if you're missing any, sorry!) **

This giveaway is open worldwide and will close at 11:59 PM (EST) on Sunday, October 29th, 2023. One (1) winner will be chosen at random through the widget and contacted via email; no other platforms will be used to contact winners for this giveaway. Remember to include a valid email address in your blog post comment! Anonymous commenters must identify themselves clearly so I can contact them. The contacted winner must respond to my email within 48 hours of message receipt or a new winner will be chosen. Once confirmed, the winner will be displayed via the widget.

This giveaway is hosted and sponsored by The Soubrette Brunette. No other brands or businesses represented in this giveaway's prize selection have contributed to or are otherwise associated with this giveaway.

28 on 28

Well, it's official: I'm 28... and on the 28th, too! The past few months have been filled with a lot of change and I feel like I've done quite a bit of growing up (or catching up) in a short amount of time. I'm finally starting to feel like I'm supposed to feel at this age, though I realize that there are people who are younger than I am who have accomplished much more. But as I've gotten older, I've stopped trying to compare what other people are doing to the path I'm on. It's not that I don't care that other people are getting married, buying houses, and having babies. I do. It's just that I've come to realize that I'm happy taking things as they come – and I believe that it'll all work out in the end.

So, to sum up, I may not feel 28 (aka two years away from 30 ahhh!!?)... but I just feel content about where I am at this point in my life. I haven't felt that way in a long time. Of course, there are still a lot of things I want to work on – new skills, getting in better shape, working on a side hustle – but all in all, I think 28 is gonna be a good year. I can't wait to see how it pans out.

I wanted to talk about this dress from Hearts and Found for a second. How cute (and appropriate) is this balloon animal print? I really love all the customization options Marjorie offers, and I love the design of this dress. My only qualm is that the shoulder straps are slightly too short for me, but other than that, it's such an adorable piece. Absolutely perfect for a birthday!

Outfit Details

Penelope Dress in Party Animal Print: c/o Hearts and Found

Cardigan: Pinup Girl Clothing

Necklace: similar

Flats: 6pm

Have a great weekend!
