Lipgloss & Lace


                         by Mandie Mutchie

Happy Tax Day! I hope that everyone had a fantastic time at ILS, and I hope I am able to be there next time!

I was so glad to see so many fun pictures on Instagram and Twitter for the #ILSScavengerHunt! Even though I hope to be present next time, I plan to have this continue each season, just for fun!

Here are some of the pictures I saw on social media!











They were so much fun, but the winner was Amber Griffith of Kiss Me Toys and Lingerie!



Amber will be receiving a special Lipgloss & Lace gift in the mail once I get her address!

Have a great April, everyone, and we’ll see what I have in store for May!

xoxo,

Mandie

Otherwise, if you are not a social media person, you can email them to me at the address in my byline below!

I can’t wait to see your pictures! If there is anything I missed that you feel like I should see, feel free to send that along as well! I am so sad that I am going to miss all the fun, and seeing all my friends that I unfortunately only get to see twice a year (or this year, once!)! I am also so sad that I am going to miss out on all the goodies that I usually collect!

Have fun on my behalf, and do a shot at Voodoo for me! I will be living vicariously through you and watching on social media in the Midwest!
