I Love Thirty One {Giveaway}

Remember that I hinted that I had a fabulous giveaway coming? Well it's here!

The lovely Brandy from Welcome To The Nabor-hood has become a Thirty One consultant and graciously offered me the opportunity to review a bag of my choice and then do a giveaway for that bag.

Um. Can you say awesome?

I love bags. LOVE bags. I have a bag problem, actually. But admitting my problem is the first step on the road to recovery, right?

Or. More likely it's like, "Hey, I love bags. It's sorta a problem. No, no...don't try to help me, I don't want it. I'm just going over here in this corner and petting my bags for a minute."

Anyway. I knew right away (okay, i'm super indecisive and i needed help, but whatevs.) what I wanted. I was going on a road trip and I wanted a bag great for travel! For travel in the car, most specifically. And there were lots of different bags to choose from, but this one is exactly what I wanted.

Here's what I chose:


Actually, here's a picture of the actual bag. Forgive me, I really wanted to show you how I was using it on our road trip so this is a cell phone picture:

monogrammed. squeeeee!! 

On a side note: I've adopted Reese Witherspoon's motto..."My rule is, if it's not moving, monogram it!" 

Anyway. See how cute it is? I just fell in love with it all over again! Alright, so anyway, this is the bag you will have the opportunity to win. You can also have it monogrammed with your initials. Or mine. But that would be weird. Unless you have the same initials as me. That would still be weird, though.

You guys wouldn't even believe how much crap I had stuck in this bag. I had two brand new packages of model magic, a container of hair extensions (shut up, i don't have to tell you why!), a big box of Capri Suns, a fan (like a fan that you plug in, fan.), camera, breakfast bars, big box of  chex snack mix, paper towels, Clorox wipes, and some other crap that I can't even remember.

The thing about this bag is that it carries a lot, but for whatever reason, the style, shape, placement of the handles, something...it's easy to carry. It doesn't get weighed down at one end and it doesn't feel like you're carrying 3 tons.

In my car we have a spot between the two front seats that this fits perfectly into. Great for stuffing things like blankets, coloring books, snacks, chargers...things you need on a road trip. 

I'm planning on using it as a picnic basket later this summer. Beach bag? Gotcha covered.

Anyway. 

I really could go on and on about how much I love this bag, but I won't. You'd get bored and I don't want you to get bored on my blog. Said the girl who has never written a boring post, ever. <--- lie.

Wanna know how to win? Well, because it's just such a stinkin' awesome giveaway, I'm gonna make you work for it a little bit.

Yayyy I love bags too! :-) That's so cool. Thirty-one is one of our designer labels on RCL, so that's even cooler! :-)

I love the thermal totes, those seem like they would be so handy. I also love the all in one organizer. I love things that help me stay organized.

Fun fun giveaway!

Liene said...

The market thermal tote looks like a winner. With two kids I need things that are waterproof but handy...

VandyJ said...

I'm a bag junkie too. Drives Nick nuts--he just doesn't get it. Of course he'd pack everything in a backpack for every stinking trip he takes if I let him.
I really like the organizing Utility tote. It looks awesome for road trips. You know I have an epic one coming up. A bag for the trip would be perfect.

Brooke Kenny said...

I would really love a Thermal Bag!

Steph said...

I love bags. Aubri loved her new bag we got in the mail the other day.

I like the Littles Carry-All Caddy and the Mini Organizer. Gee, that was a hard decision.

Celeste said...

Love the Retro Metro totes & the Cinch Sacs!

McVal said...

Awesome! The Minty Chip organizer for sure! With your initials, because why is that weird??

McVal said...

I just did a link up on FB to here.

McVal said...

Meri shall henceforth be called Mimi. See if I don't!

Connie Weiss said...

I have been wanting the Organizing Utility Tote for months now!! But I can't decide on a print.

I'm going to monogram mine with your initials but I'm going to switch them around to FML.

Emmy said...

Holy cow she has so many things! I am loving all of the home organizational bags like the mini- carry it all bags. Oh my craft cupboard could be so cute!!

And so are you just adding up the entries- or should I say this all again for my second entry for this??

Myya said...

This is such a fun brand. I have the skirt purse. It's a tiny bit small right now because I still keep wipes & a diaper in my purse on occasion. I looove the Large Utility Tote though! I WANT!!! How perfect would that be for nights away. I could bring the girls snacks & a pack of diapers & wipes & more! So cool. Oooohhh or I could start being better about small grocery shopping & use it instead of paper or plastic.

I also just saw the Expad-a-tote day extender. That is pretty darn cool. Oooohhh & my friend has the wallet & I LOVE that too.

Myya said...

I shared on facebook. I didn't wanna share, but I did. See, sometimes I can follow directions.

Myya said...

I'll TOTALLY name my next kiddo after you... If you can convince Sammer to let me have another I will DEFINITELY it after you. Although, does Macey really work for a boy???

Myya said...

Just tweeted. Did I do it right? Man, it's been a looong time since I've been on Twitter (bad Myya).

I'm glad that I have full thick hair and don't need extensions.
Sometimes having lots of super thick hair is a pain in the butt,
but I just can't ever imagine paying so much for some hair extensions.

Okay...dying from the "petting my bags" comment... and I totally love the Achmed reference!! :D

Lourie said...

So hard to choose, but I really liked the "Cindy Tote" and this is lame but the key chain lanyard for the wrist. I am horrible for losing keys! Ask my family! haha.

Lourie said...

And I hope I did this right...
