Beauty and a Book Giveaway 2024

October 31, 2024

If you’ve been around here for a while, then you may remember the Beauty and a Book Giveaways that I used to host here on my blog. I haven’t hosted one in quite a while, but I’m happy to say that I have one here for you today. This giveaway includes a brand new book by one of my dear friends, Deborah Chase, along with beauty products and a $50 Visa gift card. Yay!

About Deborah Chase:

She’s a founding editor of the Berkely Wellness Newsletter, Deborah Chase is the author of 12 books including The Medically Based No-Nonsense Beauty Book (Alfred Knopf), Extend Your Life Diet (Pocket Books), Fruit Acids for Fabulous Skin ( St Martin’s Press) Every Bride is Beautiful ( Morrow), Terms of Adornment ( HarperCollins) and with her husband Dr. Neil Schachter co-author of Life and Breath and The Good Doctor’s guide to Colds and Flu ( Harper). Her books have been a selection of Book of the Month Club and her articles have appeared in Ladies Home Journal, Self, Glamour, Redbook, Family Circle, Parents, and Good Housekeeping.

Her newest book is a novel called Georgia’s Folly and it’s available as an ebook. I know firsthand that Deb did extensive research and travel while writing this novel and it was fun to follow along.

Georgia's Folly by Deborah Chase

Brief description of the book:

Georgia’s Folly is a riveting narrative that delves into the life of the main character, Georgia. It explores her inner struggles and the various challenges she encounters along her journey. The story unravels Georgia’s complex character as she navigates through her personal and professional life, faced with compromising situations and difficult decisions. It is about her journey of self-discovery and personal growth, and how she confronts her fears and overcomes her obstacles. The book offers an intriguing look at human nature, depicting the strength and resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It’s a stirring exploration of love, loss, and redemption, set against the backdrop of Georgia’s tumultuous life.

Now let’s get to the Beauty and a Book Giveaway…

A Sephora Fresh Face Kit featuring various beauty products is displayed alongside a $50 Visa gift card and a stack of books, including "The Last Dress from Paris," "The Last Mona Lisa," and "A Room of Their Own.

This is everything one winner will receive in the giveaway (but yours will be brand new and shipped from the host)

A stack of three books on a table with a green plant in a white pot and a pink glass jar in the background. The books are titled "The Last Dress from Paris," "The Last Mona Lisa," and "A Room of Their Own.

3 of Deb’s favorite books plus a copy of her ebook Georgia’s Folly

A copper tray on a dark wooden surface holds various cosmetic products, including mascara, lipstick, foundation, and skincare items. A decorative glass vase is partially visible in the background.

This is everything in the Fresh Face Kit. 3 are full size products and the other 5 are deluxe sample sizes. I will tell you, this kit is AMAZING!

And now for the FUN Giveaway

The giveaway has some really awesome prizes in the package! One winner will receive win copies of The Last Dress from Paris, The Last Mona Lisa, A Room of Their Own (signed by the author), a digital copy of Georgia’s Folly, a $50 Visa Gift Card and the Sephora Favorites Fresh Face Kit. You can use the Rafflecoptor widget below to enter. Good Luck!!

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too.
