Lovecats, this giveaway is LONG overdue!
In fact, I was planning on posting it last OCTOBER! I know… I know. BUT, better late than never, right? RIGHT!
I was inspired by the book release of Beginner’s Pluck by founder of Sseko designs, Liz Bohannon, who asked if I wanted a copy of the book to review and to create a custom item from the Sseko shop as well. I agreed only if I could design something for a giveaway for you guys and include a book as well… and they agreed and now here we are… (3-1/2 months later)!
The good news is, Sseko JUST launched their custom design shop to everyone and so maybe the timing is perfect…
I read this book in a week I think (or maybe a weekend, it was so good!) back in October and shared my review of the book here. It’s fabulous. Easy to read and has tons of inspiring takeaways while journeying through the author’s life experience and road to creating a successful business while also empowering women globally. It’s the perfect read to jumpstart your creative juices to make 2020 a standout, or at least a springboard to your future.
What’s in the Giveaway…

There are 20 amazing items included in this giveaway estimating at $400 total… The cute little leather bag from Sseko was custom designed by me… I love the mixed metallic silver and rose gold together. I’ve also included a handful of L’Oreal makeup, beauty and skincare products including the ever-popular jade face roller from Skin Gym (which I have and love), 6 luxurious makeup brushes, and a few possible freebies that only the winner will know about 😉
Below each image you’ll find product details along with links so you can see what’s really included.
So Let’s Get To It!

A little more about the bag… it’s roughly 9w x 10-1/2h and is perfect for carrying a few books or even as an everyday bag. You can see in the photo above it holds more than you’d think… It has two top handles but also has a longer strap (in silver) that you can attach to wear over your shoulder or as a crossbody. It has a flap pocket in front and a zipper pocket inside. It would also be super cute for the kiddos because of the size. It comes in a soft, luxurious leather that’s pretty thick and feels sturdy when carrying it. ($225)
You can see the size of the bag and me carrying it in this post for reference.

2020 has had a few bumps already so I wouldn’t mind a do-over and we can start that on Feb 1st lol! I know there’s peeps with way more issues so I’m really not going to complain. Moving forward!
