It’s almost time, the challenge starts THIS Saturday! YAY!
I am so excited for the #pauseandsmile challenge/giveaway! I’ve been wanting to challenge myself to do some type of photo challenge for a while now and thought it would be fun if someone else played along too!
This challenge is a reminder to myself that I need to slowwwww it down sometimes. I can not tell you how many days go by where I am in a hurry and rushing. I get so caught up in mama duties, work, laundry, cleaning, errands, etc. I really just need to pause and take a moment to soak up the day. Remind myself to see the beauty in each new moment, and notice something delightful in the ordinary. (A sunset, a flower, anything really.)
It will be starting this weekend, on Feb 22nd and will run for 30 days until March 23rd. I’ll be tracking the photos with #pauseandsmile - so be sure to hashtag it up!
There are some seriously ah-mazing prizes involved in this challenge! (I mean eeeeeep, so good!) I’ve reached out to some of my personal favorite companies and feel so lucky and blessed to have them on board for this. I truly can not thank them enough! I’m very-very grateful.
This is not a photography contest at all, nobody will be judged on their photographs - no need for any fancy cameras or editing... just a quick picture is needed. (cell phones are perfect!)
TO ENTER:
1. Follow my page on Instagram over here @lutis as well as each shop that is on the prize list.
(If you miss a day, or join in late - please continue to play along & post.) All participants will have a chance to be entered. HOWEVER - if you play the entire 30 days, you will get additional entries. (see below.)

RULES AND DEETS:
Not gonna lie, it makes it much easier to track a hashtag if your account is public. (Unfortunately images from private profiles will not show up.) So if your account is public, YAY! If your account is private and you still want to play... please do. You can always post and then at the very end of the challenge just let me know you participated and are private. You can add me temporarily at the end so that I can see the images on your page. (Trying to keep it fair.)
I will be doing a drawing at the end of the challenge for prizes. (If you miss a day, or join in late - please continue to play along & post.) All participants will have a chance to be entered. HOWEVER - if you play the entire 30 days, you will get additional entries! (10 additional entries for the drawing if you post one photo a day during the 30 days.
Most of these prizes are only available to ship within the US - however if you’re outside the US and want to play along, please do. I will be sure to get something to you if your name is drawn. Promise.
You must be following my page along with the nine shops mentioned above.
