Two years ago in May I started blogging on What Jean Likes.  I had the blog name for years (since 2008, I think), back when I had an idea but was so busy running my other site that I never did anything with it.  After I quit my job as a beauty blog writer/editor/photographer, I decided to take a break but missed blogging so much... I decided to write about a large array of things I like so I came here and sporadically posted every few months when I had time, no biggie.

Over the last year or so I really started actively posting here, finding my voice and sharing the things I like with this blogosphere.  My blog has grown so very much and I want to do something super special not only to celebrate my bloggy birthday, but to thank all of you for being a part of the family and sticking with me through it all.  Did I mention I'm having a 50% off sale on all ads for my site in May to celebrate?  Just enter the code: MAY at checkout to get half off ALL ads!!  Sponsor & Advertise

I am putting together a cash prize for one lucky winner of at least $600.  I get tons of emails asking me about how to do giveaways, how to find giveaways to get involved with and so on.. I thought, what better opportunity to allow others to chip in, help this prize grow and get new followers along the way?  If you want to be part of this giveaway, I'm accepting sign ups now.  Giveaways are an amazing way to get followers, I've gotten tons of followers by hosting or co-hosting several giveaways.  If you'd like to buy links into the rafflecopter prize widget (which will be mandatory follows for anyone who enters the contest), you can do so below.
