Guest Post: A Day in the Life and Mind

I'm so excited to have the super cute and always hilarious Jaclyn from A Day in the Life and Mind.... 

 Being that we had our fair share of fun times together at The Ohio State University I can promise you she is as silly, carefree, and beautiful in person as she is in the blog world.

If you haven't visited her, you MUST.

Today she is sharing a fabulous birthday gift guide and all for under $50 .... so here we go!

Happy Birthday (week) Amanda!  I am Jaclyn from "A Day in the Life and Mind...", and I went to college with Amanda, so I am excited to be guest posting in honor of her birthday!  With all the many friends, sisters, brothers, cousins, blah blah blahhh, it is hard to manage budgets for each of their birthdays.  Today I am sharing a few birthday gift ideas under $50 that are sure to still keep your wallet full.  

Enjoy!

Thanks again, Amanda for having me and have a wonderful birthday!!

Thank you so much Jaclyn for visiting today ~ stop by anytime you want!

Such great choices, I love them all! 

One thing is for sure, she definitely knows my love for Urban Outfitters.

And how funny is that picture!?  Oh, college!

Guest Post: chartreuse & a twist

Kicking off this birthday filled week is the wonderful Brynn from chartreuse and a twist. 

I fell in love with her and her adorable blog the second I laid my eyes on it.

Her insane ability to find amazing thrifted treasures and her always gorgeous color crushes are just a few of the reasons I visit her everyday in this fabulous little blog world.

Enjoy!

Hello, lovely readers of Eclectic Snapshots :) I am Brynn from chartreuse & a twist and I am so happy to be here today! Amanda and I originally bonded in the bloggy world over our shared love of vintage and thrift treasures...and then just recently found out that we are both Sagittarians :) Our birthdays are just a week apart...mine was just yesterday and Amanda's is Sunday! I am sharing my birthday MUSTS today...the "ingredients" {so to speak} to the perfect birthday! 

1. the birthday outfit is essential!!! every birthday girl MUST have the perfect birthday ensemble {and i'm thinking this hot little ensemble makes a perfect statement!}

2. fancy birthday cocktails are simply the best! what better way to get the {birthday} party started??!!!!!

3. eat beautiful cake! i can't imagine a birthday without some sort of cake! cheesecake, cupcake...etc...it's just a birthday tradition that is a must for me :)

4. shake, shake, shake it!!! i am such a shaker i just can't help it ;) dancing on my birthday is a major must...and it doesn't just have to be out & about...it could be somewhere as simple as my own living room! i just love to let free and dance!!!

5. treat yourself...i am not one that expects gifts on my birthday...it is not what it's all about for me...but I absolutely treat myself :) yep, that's right! i am all about treating myself for my birthday... because, truly, why not?!

so there you have it! the ingredients to a perfect birthday!!! amanda, i wish you the happiest of birthdays and hope that you get all of this and more :) thank you so much for having me over today!

A HUGE thank you and a Happy Birthday to my fellow Sagittarius, Brynn, for sharing these birthday festive ingredients. 
Any one of these would make a great addition to my celebration this coming weekend!

Blog Series: Birthday Fun

I am so excited to announce that I will be having my first ever guest post this week! 

Not only am I completely blessed to have one guest, but there will actually be FOUR wonderful ladies popping in to say hello.

On December 4th I will be celebrating my 26th birthday and it seemed like the perfect time to have a few visitors here at Eclectic Snapshots.

Since my birthday falls on the beginning of the week this year I decided to make my "birthday week" the week before.

WAY more fun to build up to it, wouldn't you say?

I've gotten a sneak peak at the birthday fun these ladies have put together and I can't wait to share.

Mid-week I'll be checking in with you all.

Until then show these beauties some love!

xoxo

Thanksgiving

Happy Wednesday!
This usually would be a "Because I'm Hungry" post but I'm currently away at Grandma's for a long weekend. So in honor of the holiday I rounded up a few particularly festive images!


I'm taking tomorrow off to enjoy the good food and spend time with my family.
But I'll be back Friday for Friday's Fancies.


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
xoxo
Amanda
