I have a favor to ask today. I please need your help testing out my new project – Chirpyest! Some of you probably saw me mention the company on a recent post. We are in the secret “pre-launch phase” of this new project.

Chirpyest, is a new cash back shopping platform I built which allows anyone to make up to 15% cash back on purchases from top retailers.  I realized shoppers were leaving millions of dollars on the table by not getting cash back on their purchases so I wanted to make it easy for you.  Chirpyest also lets you share links to your favorite products with followers/friends/family and make more cash back if they buy! We quietly went live with our beta test site last month and now I need your help testing it out.

Gucci Giveaway

So today, to get people to help us test the site, Chirpyest is hosting a big Spring Gucci giveaway! My fabulous team selected some of the best-selling items from Gucci that every woman needs for spring. Here is your chance to win the stylish Soho Leather Disco bag, Gucci Bloom Parfum, or their luxury lip products! It’s time to elevate your style just in time for spring!

Christmas is this week! I’m sure I’m not the only one who is shopping for last minute holiday home gifts. Finding that perfect gift for your friends, family, and/or co-worker can be hard. Walmart made it so easy! I love their large collection of cute and affordable items that are perfect for gifting. I found so many fun and stylish home gifts from Drew Barrymore’s new collection with Walmart. I love their other home gifts too!

My suggestion…if you are like me and still struggling to find that PERFECT gift then check out Walmart now.  Since I am into all things house and home, I of course gravitate to home gifts. There are so many fast and easy ways to order or pick up your items. I placed my order and it was delivered within two days! And if that’s not quick enough for you, then you can select same-day delivery. Walmart has a large selection of affordable and quality products. They have an awesome “Gift Finder” tool that makes online shopping so much easier. I was looking for spa and beauty items to give to my sister. The tool made it so easy to navigate their site for the right gift.

They have something for everyone! Yes, even those who are hard to shop for! We all have one of those. There is nothing better than getting all of your holiday shopping over with before Christmas.

I put a few gift ideas together for you…in my last minute holiday gift guides!

During this holiday season, I want to highlight some fabulous black owned brands. There are so many black entrepreneurs and businesses out there that deserve a spotlight. And the holiday season is the perfect time to explore new black owned brands to try. Also, make sure to check out my style guide for the holiday season.

Estelle Colored Glass

Estelle Colored Glass is a luxury black owned brand of hand-blown colored glass cake stands and stemware. These pieces made in Poland are vintage inspired, with a modern twist. Created in both jewel tones and soft pastels, these pieces are a must have to add to your collection. The founder Stephanie Summerson Hall, was inspired by her grandmother, Estelle. And her love for colored glass pieces.
