2018 Get + Give {closed}


If you were following me last year,

you might remember I started something over the holidays called “Get + Give”.

Essentially, it was a giveaway series where one of my lovely readers won a prize from one of my favorite brands + that same brand also donated items for me to give to a charity. Because of this we were able to do things such as bring flowers to a nursing home thanks to The Bouqs, donate new bras and new toiletries to the Downtown Women’s Shelter thanks to Thirdlove and Aveda, and bring books to the local vet’s center thanks to Book of the Month.

While I loved being able to give back to all of you while simultaneously giving back to charities, I wanted to switch up this year’s “Get + Give” and do something a little different. To be totally honest, in my opinion, the last thing Instagram and the great world wide web needs this time of year is another giveaway. We’re all inundated with them. But one thing there’s never enough of, and this world always needs more of, is you giving back of your time, talent and treasure to those less fortunate and in need.

So here’s how this year’s “Get + Give” is going to work-

  1. Let me know your favorite charity in the comments below, or on Instagram, from now, December 1st, 2018 through December 25th, 2018.

  2. I will randomly select two of the charities to give $50 to on December 26th.

That’s it. Easy peezy. You GET to GIVE to your favorite charity.

Now, of course, if you’re inspired to do more and you actually want to take action yourself, I’ve also listed out 25 ways to give back this holiday season, below.

I’m looking forward to hearing more about your favorite charities and having you join me in this season of giving! xx

UPDATE: WINNERS HAVE BEEN SELECTED, NOTIFIED + ANNOUNCE HERE. $50 DONATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD + HUMANITY UNIFIED. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT PARTICIPATED!
