Giveaway Alert! Couch Wasabi Saladbox Giveaway

Hullo! I blogged about SaladBox already. Read my post about it on my beauty blog: http://www.codenameaya.com/2012/09/saladboxlaunch.html. The first box's out already. I'm not subscribed to SaladBox yet, though. Came across Couch Wasabi's Saladbox giveaway earlier. Perfect timing! I really want to win this so I can finally be able to experience box subscription services. And I wanna see if The SaladBox subscription is really worth it (at least, based on the first few boxes). Dumarami na ang mga beauty boxes here in the Philippines lately, ah. 

If you want to join too, here's the link to CW's giveaway: http://couchwasabi.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/cw-belated-birthday-saladbox-starter-plan-free-subscription/. CW is giving away a SaladBox Starter Plan subscription (for Nov-Dec boxes) :)

On Giveaways and Friends

Hi everyone! I mentioned in my previous post in this personal blog of mine that I would be having a giveaway soon. Well, thanks to HBC, that giveaway is now up and running on my beauty blog, Codename AYA. Wait, make that "giveaways." Yes, plural! Every week for 8 weeks, HBC and I will share with you different makeup tips and feature HBC products which you can get for FREE just by answering the question of the week. Click *here* to check out the ongoing giveaway! :)

Aside from that giveaway, I'm also gonna be having another giveaway on December, in celebration of my blog's first anniversary! YEEEEY! I hope you watch out for it and join as well! I'm really excited about this!!!

I've been blogging for almost two years now. My first blog was about chemistry. Haha. A bit nerd-ish, I know. I was still a student then. Anyway, after I graduated, I had a lot (and I mean A LOOOOT) of free time, and I spent most of that time reading beauty blogs and watching beauty videos on YouTube. That's when I first started getting interested in beauty blogging. I posted my first ever haul post on December 5, 2010, and you can read that *here.* From then on, I just couldn't (and still can't) stop blogging. I seriously am enjoying this. And although I still don't have a full-time job, I feel that I have a lot of responsibilities already - all blog-related. I consider blogging as my "work" (for now). 

One of the things that I enjoy about blogging is meeting new friends. I've met quite a few fellow bloggers already. One of my first blogger friends, Ann of The Beauty Addict, is even having a giveaway right now. Click on the picture below to join her giveaway.

Of course, I'm joining this giveaway! This is my way of showing my support to my blogger friends. 

If you think that blogging is just all about the freebies, the events, the features, the sponsors, etc., you are wrong. For me, what's important is that you write about what you know and about things you enjoy, share that with other people, and meet new friends along the way ;P

I smell a giveaway

Hey there! Last night, I noticed that my beauty blog's Facebook page finally got 200 likes. YEEEY! A huuuuuge THANKS to everyone who clicked the Like button! 

And the other day, I also noticed that my beauty blog now had 350 readers. Again, super THANKS to everyone who are subscribed to the said blog in any way! 

Love you all! Thank you so much for reading my posts! I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.

To show my appreciation to everyone who reads and supports my blog, I am going to hold a giveaway. Please stay tuned for that and check my beauty blog regularly for updates.
