Somebody Needs a Makeover


The day is finally here my friends where I reveal my secret project!

Are you listening very closely?

Good.

A few weeks ago I contacted my dear chum Shelby from La Belle Vegan about doing a little cosmetic work to her already fabulously, fabulous blog. She mercifully agreed to indulge my little fantasy and I got to add another bit to my ever-expanding portfolio for RISD.



The project was so much fun and ended in such success that I've decided to do grant the wish of one more lucky blogger and create a one-of-a-kind, Curly Top makeover.

There are two steps to entering the Blog Makeover giveaway.

Step 1- Become a Curly Top follower. (If you are already a follower you can obviously skip this step)



Step 2- Leave a comment on this post telling me you have done so with a link to your blog.

*2 extra entry will be added to those who feature the giveaway in a blog post.

That's it! Two easy steps and you're on your way to a fabulously, fabulous new blog.

The contest will run all week and I'll be announcing the winner on Friday, July 3.

Good luck!

With Love,

Emily

PS- While you're waiting nervously for the results why don't you check out check the Recipe page to see my new recipe for Pbu, a 30 calorie per tbsp peanut butter, and the readers' favorite Edible Mathematics page. Or break out the boob toob and watch a few of my videos. You can also read a little more about the girl behind the curls by visiting the About Me page a quick visit.

Rachel said...

Hey Emily!

Why thank you for stopping by my blog. I can't wait to start following your posts and learning more about you! I think it's great that you are giving a blogger the opportunity to spruce things up, I know I would love the opportunity more than anything. I'll definitely link back to you on my next post to spread the word!

Take care, and DEFINITELY go try some almond butter soon! If you can tear yourself away from the PBU, of course. :)

Much love,
Rachel

Bridget said...

That would be so much fun! I have a slightly unconventional blog title (Finding My Kd - Kd is a science kinetics term that determines affinity) so I've been lost on ways to make that more visually anything, frankly. Also--we'll be in adjacent states next year! (I'm in Boston right now) - we should meet up for delicious food sometime :)

You've been a part of my blog roll since I joined blogger - which wasn't really all that long ago considering I'm very new to this. But I'm becoming a vegan and you have wonderful ideas and a very positive, uplifting energy that I always look forward to when I view your page.

I need a blog makeover because I simply don't know how to make it cute. I messed with it one day and ruined the whole blog and had to start it all over again! HTML scares me! You make it look very easy, curly top.

Tundramunkie said...

wow.

I'm SO happy I stumbled across your blog!

And I gotta say, you're going to be canonized for your Pbu recipe!

So throw an Arctic amazon a bone and make me over, lady. On an important aside: thanks so much for making a contest that ANYONE can enter. In my reaches of the globe, there aren't many of these I can be part of!

I'm now a happy follower of yours and have given you a solid plug on my blog.

Cheers!

I just found your blog today through Glutenfreegidget at Blogspot. I have been daydreaming about a logo design makeover for a year now. I would be so happy to win.

I just added your RSS to my Yahoo reader tonight. My blog is http://stilllifeinbuenosaires.wordpress.com. I look forward to reading more of your posts and seeing more artwork.

Love your design sensibility, by the way. Good luck with your arts and design studies. :-)

wholebodylove said...

I need a makeover so bad! I logged in under my original wordpress blog. But, I just purchased a domain name and I am almost clueless as to how to make a more professional looking blog! I downloaded Atahualpa and I still can't get it right! E-mail me for my new domain name if you are interested in giving some guidance! It looks so bad right now I would be embarrassed to post it publicly now. So, this is under my current blog. PLEASE HELP!

Susie. said...

Willa said...

Ummm Curly Top pleassseee if there is anyone who needs a blog makeover it is me: ilikestirfries.blogspot.com

Please see the related post on my blog (and I'm a follower).

Basically I need this because my blog looks like poopoo and I am so completely computer illiterate I have no idea how to make it better. I can barely post blogs, let alone design some sort of thing that will make it all colorful and pretty and nice. Plus I'm hoping if my blog looks nice I'll get more than 2 followers (one of which is myself)!

Anyways please please please pick me!!! I will love you forever!

(And I SWEAR I will have pictures up soon)

Jenna Z said...

Oooh! What an awesome giveaway! I follow your blog!

Love your blog! I am much less vigilant about posting on mine, and could reeeally work on my photography skillz. Nonetheless, I think a blog makeover would inspire me!
