The Best Things Summer Giveaway!

Being able to have The NYC Talon as a proper website has been one of the most crazy and fun and hardest things I’ve done. Between learning about how a website runs to how to edit photos and host a twitter party and all the technical things that happen behind the scenes, I’ve learned so so much.

Just to give you a picture of how much I’ve grown, take a look at this photo I uploaded back in 2012 vs. a photo I’ve recently shared here on the Talon:

Then-Now

See? The difference is astonishing. I really have so much fun sharing my thoughts, covering events, and discovering new places and products and sharing them with all of you – and I hope you continue to enjoy reading them!

As a thank you, I’ve bought together a couple of my personal favorite things to give away to one of you! I wish I could give something to all of you, but I’m not rolling in the dough and my name isn’t Oprah, lol!

NYCTalon-Giveaway

The NYC Talon is giving away a Clarisonic Mia cleansing system in Lavender (ARV $99), Kate Spade Skinny Mini Rope Studs (ARV $48), and EOS Lip Balm in Strawberry Sorbet and Passion Fruit (ARV $8) – which is a grand prize worth $155!

Enter to win below, and good luck!

    I checked out your travel posts… I know it was almost a year ago, but Cape May looked fun. West End Garage is definitely my kind of place, and that pizza at Mario’s looks excellent. BTW, your berries definitely look yummy… you should be very proud! 🙂

      Thanks for stopping by and entering Suzanne! Yeah, I was pretty shocked, every now and then I go back and look at old pics on the blog and am glad countless hours on the internets have at least taught me how to take a decent photo 😉 I kid, I kid, it really is gratifying to see the difference hard work makes though.
