The Lifestyle Maven

A few months ago I started following the blog, lifestyle maven.

Blog author, Cailen Asher, is an interior designer, lifestyle designer and book author.  Her engaging blog offers video tutorials on mixing drinks, date-night ideas, recipes as well as decorating ideas and self improvement tips.  

My favorite recipe from lifestyle maven...

is these egg cups which have become our new favorite weekend breakfast meal.

lifestyle maven is having a giveaway this week.  Since I am the first sponsor of the blog, Cailen is sponsoring a giveaway of a pair of my earrings.

If you'd like a chance to win a pair of these earrings, click here to check out lifestyle maven and enter to win.  Bonne chance!
