// You Are Good Enough

Today I have a special guest, Ebonnie, here to share her Tumblr project that aims to inspire girls and remind them that they are good enough. Ebonnie's idea is simple enough, and sometimes that's the perfect way to get your message across. Her project is accessible and far-reaching. I'm a huge fan of any and everything that helps promote positivity and self esteem. Today Ebonnie is going to tell us a little more about You Are Good Enough and share how we can all get involved!

Hi Ebonnie! Thanks so much for joining us today and for being our PRIME sponsor for this month! I want everyone to get a feel for what You Are Good Enough is all about.

What inspired you to start You Are Good Enough?

I started You Are Good Enough after I started to suffer from depression, I would go online and all I could seem to find were pictures and blogs about never being perfect, never being beautiful, never being good enough and it drove me deeper and deeper down into that black hole, and then one day I woke up.

I realized that none of that is true, and that for the sake of the girls and guys who run those sorts of blogs, and for the sake of the girls and guys who read them, there had to be something positive out there as well, so I created my You Are Good Enough Tumblr, in order to help me out of my depression, and hopefully will help others as well

Can you tell us a little more about you? The girl behind the project?

My name is Ebonnie and I’m a 19 year old makeup artist and body piercer living in the capitol city of Australia, I’m tattooed and pierced and believe that your body is a canvas for you to decorate how you please.

While I was in college I bought my first of many loves, my beautiful back Kawasaki cruiser Polly, who I rode until only recently when she broke down and I had to buy a car. One day I hope to move to New York and study fashion design, but I try not to make concrete plans in my life. I prefer to let life come to me and just enjoy the ride.

If you could sum up your message in one, short sentence, what would it be?

Every girl and boy on this planet is good enough for anything they could ever possibly hope to achieve

How has You Are Enough grown from the very beginning?

Well that’s the thing, other then a few people submitting when I first started it, life got busy, things got in the way and I stopped promoting it, it fell to the back of my mind and it never really became what I wanted it too, but that’s why I decided to sponsor Kaelah, so I can get this blog really going and hopefully brighten someones day.

Any specific reason why you chose Tumblr as your platform?

I chose tumblr because I think it’s the easiest site for anyone to access, you don’t have to have a tumblr account to few and get involved with this blog, you just need the url and a few minutes to snap a photo of yourself and upload it!

Do you have any “end goals” you’d like to reach with your project? Or is it more of a hobby you do for fun?

I would love to see people from all over the world upload pictures to this blog, I would love to have you are good enough written in all different languages presented on the blog from all different people of different walks of life, to have submissions everyday so the flow of positivity never stops

What do you hope your audience will take away from You Are Good Enough?

I hope that they will take away the knowledge and understanding that they are good enough, that people set their own restrictions in life and that doesn’t have to be the case, and that there are places you can go on the internet that won’t fill your head with negativity, that you can come to this site and not only help yourself but help others as well.

How can other people get involved? Do you only accept photos or do you have plans on expanding into writing at some point, too?

Getting involved with You Are Good Enough is as easy as snapping a photo of yourself, or you with some friends, with the words You Are Good Enough written on your hand, once it has taken off, I would love to expand into getting people to share their stories of success and achievement, but for now at the beginning I’d like it to be an easy thing for people to do and get involved in that will only take 5 minutes

Do you think the power of positivity has the ability to affect people and inspire them to live fuller, richer lives?

Absolutely, positivity has the power to change the world

Are there any last words you’d like to share with my readers today?

I would just like to say thank you for taking the time to learn about me and my project and I would really love to hear from you and see your pictures getting uploaded to the blog, it would mean so much to me to see everyone getting involved and spreading the word about it! I hope you guys have an amazing day!

Thanks so much Ebonnie! It's been an absolute treating having you!

// Just Say No To Chub-Rub! (and YES to giveaways!)

What a strange post title, yea? Well, unless you're a victim of dreaded chafing. In that case, you know all you want to know (and probably more) about this not-so-fun experience. Louise Hung wrote a really great XOJane article about chub-rub a few months back and she even included some of her own homegrown remedies. I've heard everything from deodorant to Monistat gels and baby powder. The (well, my) problem with all of these is simple: you have to reapply. And reapply and reapply. Imagine walking around an amusement park and feeling the sting resurface. You don't want to just bend over and start applying some strange salve to your lady trunks right? Haha Awkward!

Since I hate that aspect of those remedies, naturally I would gravitate toward bike shorts or Spanx under my dresses. Have any of you been to Tennessee in the summer? It's like walking around in a sauna. Hot and humid! All of that added moisture does us curvy folk no favors. This year it's simply been too hot to squeeze myself into contouring tube of Lycra. Normally I just do my thing in my dresses and let that be that (and then sometimes waddle my way into bed by the end of it all. Hey, we're being honest here, right?!) 

Anyway, once Julia from Bandelettes got in touch about sponsoring LCH I became intrigued. Bandelettes are stretchy lace "anti-chafing" bands that have two rows of "stay up silicone" that help keep them on your legs. They come in both nude and black. She wanted to send me some Bandelettes to try for myself and see if it was the right fit for blog. I took my thigh measurements and sent them in to Julia for her to send me the appropriate size garments. 

I wasn't sure if something so simple would actually be beneficial honestly. I'm a natural skeptic. However I wore mine around for a couple of weeks and actually found them pretty comfortable. Certainly much more comfortable than suffocating Spanx or nothing at all. They're designed to be quite sexy, even though that's the last adjective I'd use to describe me. You can wear them so they peek out under your shorts/skirt, or you can keep them hidden. As silly as it sounds, I don't stress over a small gust of wind if the lace shows for a moment. It's kind of a sexy/fun thing to wear under casual dresses.

Now Julia and her teams wants to give FIVE of y'all some Bandelettes of your very own! Sweet!

Just check out their site and leave a comment below letting us know what color you'd choose if you won!

If you'd like additional entries: Like Bandelettes on Facebook and/or Follow Bandelettes on Twitter! (just leave a separate comment for each entry!)

5 of you will be chosen at random next weekend and contacted shortly thereafter! Good luck to everyone who enters!

PS; If you simply can't wait to see if you won, or if you want to give Bandelettes as a gift, you can save 15% with the code 'Kaelah'.

Congratulations Mandi, Manda, Betty, Grace, and Marmeladas!

// Introducing Chippmunk... + A Giveaway!

One of my favorite things to do on LCH is to find and share with you amazing brands, items, and experiences (you know, because I literally just said that a few days ago! haha) Sometimes I'm introduced to a person/brand that just takes it above and beyond in terms of being awesome... and that's exactly who we have today! I've been chatting with Samira from Chippmunk for the past couple of weeks and not only is she a rad, easy to talk to gal, but she's also one-half of the team responsible for making online shopping a lot more fun (and easy to manage!) -- I've written about my love for sale shopping before, and I've shared many of my tips and tricks for finding the best deals and coupons. But now Chippmunk is taking it a step further by being rounding up the web's best coupons, and ensuring that they work!

I love coupon code sites (duh!). I seriously rarely ever buy something online unless I have a coupon to do so. One of the hardest parts of online shopping is actually finding coupon codes that will work for me. I'll Google my eyes out before I pay full price for something. Call me cheap if you must, but this girl likes a deal! Below is a little snippet about their biz:

"Chippmunk is a savings search engine. Our mission is to help you shop smarter and save you both time and money. To do this, we organize savings information from stores in one simple place so that you can quickly see which stores are offering the best deals based on your budget using our CouponRankTM algorithm. When you know what’s out there, you can be confident that you’re really getting the best deal. And who knows, you might even discover a new favorite place to shop! We hope that Chippmunk will be the starting point for your online shopping experiences."

Um, yes please! You can search based on monetary budge, brand, store, category, or even all of the above. You can also choose up to 5 coupon deals to compare. I love that Chippmunk allows you to input all of these variables and then they do the hard work for you. They find you the brand/store/deal. You just have to have a general idea of what you'd like to look for, whereas other sites are organized by the actual store's URL. You can find new shops and brands this way, and that's my favorite!

Of course Samira's penchant for a steal isn't for online only.. this lady scored a vintage 1940's stove for just $200 on Craigslist! What the what?! I need her to send some of her mojo my way. Well anyway, the fine folks of Chippmunk want to offer up you snazzy shoppers something awesome... a $100 gift card to spend on any Chippmunk retailer! -- A heads up: You can choose from shops like ModCloth, Nine West, Target, etc. I don't think you'll have any trouble choosing where to spend it!

I'm totally feeling the $15 off ModCloth, up to 70% off ShopBop, and up to 50% off Anthropologie personally! How about you?

Pop by the Chippmunk site and scour their deals. Pick the shop/coupon you'd use your $100 winnings on! Leave a comment below with your pick!

Please leave a separate comment for each additional entry (These entries are not required for your initial participation! Do as many or as few as you'd like!) ♥ Follow Chippmunk on Twitter ♥ Like Chippmunk on Facebook ♥ Follow Chippmunk on Pinterest ♥ Pin this giveaway on Pinterest ♥ Tweet this: "Hello Summer of style! I just entered to win $100 to @ShopChippmunk on @kaelahbee's blog KaelahBee.com"

Overall that is SIX ways to enter and win! Unfortunately this contest is open to US residents only, but don't fret! I'll have an international doozy soon! A winner will be drawn at random next weekend and contacted shortly thereafter. Good luck, friends!

PS; Don't forget about the Expert Shopper sweepstakes they're currently hosting! Post a photo of your fab find and WIN!

PPS; Want to read a great interview with the folks at Chippmunk? My rad friend Melissa shared a great one a couple of weeks ago!

// Win A Swimsuit Of Your Choice From Albion Fit!

What's a better way to kick off summer than to score your very own *FREE* swimsuit?! Albion Fit came knocking on my virtual door last month and wanted to partner up on a fun summer giveaway for all of you fab ladies here at LCH. They also offered to send me two swimsuits of my choosing so I could actually check out the Albion Fit experience first hand and share my thoughts. Albion Fit is all about being a local, family owned business that strives for ethical, fair trade labor while being environmentally aware. Not only do they create quality swimwear, but they're also the makers of stylish active wear. I can only speak for the swimwear portion of their brand, but to say I'm impressed is an understatement!

I promise I'm not saying any of this because they're sponsoring a giveaway, but for real... they're good! I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Criss Cross one piece (!!!) and the Midnight Dip swimsuit. I immediately knew the Criss Cross was a total homerun when I opened it. It's the most crisp, summertime yellow, and the gathered detail is so incredibly flattering. I wore this while we were boating and camping at the river for Memorial Day weekend. Even around dozens upon dozens of people, I felt confident and comfortable. The straps up top are a bit wide, so when I was sunbathing I just tucked them down into the sides to make it a strapless number (I like to avoid wonky tan lines if possible!) It also dips down in the back so it allows me to avoid a weird tan line there, too. I am head over heels in love with this swimsuit! I wish the website had better photos of it because it does not even remotely do it justice! // The Midnight Dip swimsuit (bottom left in the photo above) is equally as gorgeous, but I haven't had a chance to really spend a lot of time in it yet (I jump for the Criss Cross without even thinking!) It's a "dressy" sort of suit and I like that aspect a lot. It also has removable straps which you can convert to wear in multiple ways. In terms of sizing, I'd say it ran a smidge small (at least compared to the Criss Cross which I got in the same size).

Had the Sunrise high waisted bathing suit been up when I picked my two out, I would've jumped at it without thinking twice! I am absolutely in love with the color combination and the cut of both the top and bottom. I love that it's a fresh take on what you would otherwise see in a high waisted swimsuit.

Now you get to choose which swimsuit you'd want to frolic around in!

Leave a comment below letting me know what Albion Fit swimsuit you would pick if you won!

Please leave a separate comment for each additional entry (These are optional! They are not required for your initial entry into the giveaway!) ♥ Follow Albion Fit on Twitter ♥ Tweet about the giveaway (include a link to the giveaway and be sure to tag @AlbionFit and @kaelahbee) ♥ in this giveaway on Pinterest (and leave a link to the pin below!) ♥ Like Albion Fit on Facebook

Overall that is five ways to enter and win! Seriously, I know you'll love your swimsuit and I can't wait to see what style y'all pick! Here's to wishing you all the very best of luck! I'll randomly select a winner next weekend and then announce it shortly thereafter! Happy Summer! *Please note, you must live in the US and not have won a previous Albion Fit giveaway in the past 6 months to be eligible to win.

// Making A House A Home - Fab Wishlist

1 - kantha vintage quilt // 2 - je t'aime necklace // 3 - K tile pillow // 4 - ladder necklace // 5 - heirloom candle // 6 - hanging aerium // 7 - egg-shaped cat bed // 8 - turquoise bangle // 9 - driftwood ipod dock // 10 - cowboy print // 11 - crosley turntable // 12 - 2 marquee light

We've been living in our new home for about 4 months now, with renovations having started nearly 6 months ago... and of course it's still far from finished. Sometimes I'm just so scared to pound nails into the wall because we still haven't figured out the style or layout of basically every room. (Anyone else overly-cautious when it comes to settling in?!) I spent some time scouring the Fab website to pick out a few of my favorite pieces that might look lovely in our new humble abode. Of course I naturally threw in a few pieces of jewelry for myself because, I mean, c'mon! I thought the cowboy print would look exceptionally darling in Toby's room, and Mike would love the Crosley record player and the driftwood iPod dock (!!!). I'm a sucker for typographic marquee lights and who on Earth can resist that darling egg-shaped cat bed?! I know Tater Tot and Enid would fight over it (and Enid would win because she's a total bully haha) I love making little wishlists for our house. It's the little things that make a house a home. Anyone else share my affinity for slightly quirky decor?

Hello, friends of Kaelah Bee!  My name is Chantilly.  I'm a singer/ songwriter and lifestyle blogger over at ChantillySongs.com.  A few years ago, I got into the blogging game with the intention of talking about and promoting my music more.  But somewhere along the line, I realized how much I enjoyed sharing everyday adventures, posting photos of daily outfits, and otherwise documenting my life.  Now I take pride in blogging these things almost every day, and chronicling my journey as a creative gal living in Brooklyn, NY.  

Today, I'm here to talk a little about my most recent (and proudest) accomplishment- my new CD, called the Up to the Moon EP.  It's a collection of five songs, which the producer and I worked hard on for a number of months (he's a pretty cool guy, being Ingrid Michaelson's keyboardist, and recently doing engineering work for the Beasts of the Southern Wild score!!)  The work we created has been called an "Acoustic curtsy for the pained at heart" by Performer Magazine, used in videos for Blowfish Shoes, and placed high in the recent Deli NYC's new Songwriter Poll.  :)

 

As such, I'm offering up a giveaway consisting of these items-

My most recent CD 

My previous cd, Caught LightA paperback journal(hand bound with ribbon & printed with lyrics from one of my songs)A $20 ad space on my blog

Congrats Rebecca!

Sponsoring is EASY!

Hey friends! Wanted to pop in on my recoup/research/recover day to let y'all know that I finally made the switch to Passionfruit ads and they're now available for immediate purchase + upload on the Sponsor page! Not only did I make it so much easier for you to buy a slot, but I also lowered the prices... like, by quite a bit. I want to make sure I'm still able to cater to the small business owner/blogger/Etsians that I used to promote. I think that's more in line with my blog's ethos and everyone can benefit from the lower rates! Get your name out to the nearly-half-a-million viewers we have a month!

Feel free to check it out and see if one of the spots would the right fit for you! I even made a "Giveaway only" advertising option. If you'd rather skip the sidebar ad and just get in on the giveaway goodies, snag you a spot! Medium + Large sponsors can snag an ad and a giveaway, too. I'm still happy to chat about product integration, reviews, or dedicated posts/giveaways. Just gimme a shout!

Best news of all? You can save 10% on the prices until Valentine's Day with the code HOLLA

Hope to see you on the sidebar soon!

PS; Please know that you can always email me! If you'd rather do it the old fashioned way, I'm a fan of that, too!
